I like this a lot, but isn’t it odd that Google looks for an empty box in this particular rack of boxes “insert 50 LED’s”. How does it know that he doesn’t want to store them in his garage or in a kitchen cupboard or below the kitchen sink? Or does it know what he is looking at? Or is there not other logical place to store LED’s than this rack of boxes? There is quite a bit more going on here than speech recognition. Maybe I should watch the instructable.
yeah I was wondering about that to , Google can’t even play a song you want to hear right , even when you give it the exact name of song .
Google isn’t involved in the searching here; he’s using Google Assistant’s IFTTT integration with a list of hardwired command templates.
It’s not just Google-to interface your Google Home/Nest with hardware this way you need something like IFTTT and an ESP8266 (at minimum.) It’s not really that challenging (though this one would probably be monotonous when it got to the coding part.) Once you have IFTTT set up you can teach Google to do all sorts of things, like respond to particular commands or questions in a specified manner (for instance, so a lie sounds authoritative. 
)
The system only knows about the containers it’s been given control over. As has been stated above, this is a solution in search of a problem.
I have to say some good things about the Palm Pilot, though. Before smartphones became affordable and good (2011, in my estimation) the Palm computer was one of a very few computing devices you could carry around in your pocket. I bought a Palm 100 in 2000 and started learning Scheme because Fred Bayer’s Lispme (I think the pun makes more sense in German) was the best scripting language that ran on such a small and inexpensive computer.
I keep all my components in baggies. I have three segments of categorization for resistors: Really commonly used, < 1k, and >=1k. Each segment has all the little baggies in a big baggie. 
I can usually find all the resistors for a project in 5 minutes or less.
I use baggies in a box:
And I sort them by ring order (I think 
), so 1, 10, 100, 1K, 10K, 100K, 1M, 10M, 12, 120, 1.2K, … Makes it really quick to find any given value.
I can see home-brewing kits flying off the shelves at the moment!
You can’t even find baker’s yeast right now. Apparently all anyone does at home is bake and make poops.
ya, same here from what I have heard, people are going straight to the mill for flour, mills are hiring new staff to keep up with demand.
Got loads of flour, powdered milk just need a bit of yeast to make some bread. Glad I kept my bread maker, nothing like the smell of a fresh cooked loaf. 
I once read if you can spit you can make bread… Gobby rolls anyone?
I got a jar of sourdough starter in the fridge (and for that matter, a near full jar of yeast)… what I’m about out of is flour…
Sounds like we need an LMNC barter/virtual boot sale!
This tweet is a classic.
i dont do twitter… but thats cool.
I dusted off my road bike after 2 years not touching it… put in 3 days of 15 miles… roads are nice and quiet.
finished the wine fermentation…
For anybody who needs some musical diversion, here is a list of corona-virus-isolation-live-streams, published by Divkid.
