Home automation enthusiasts are increasingly embracing technology to enhance their living spaces, with one individual even creating a Star Trek-inspired control panel for their home. Ursa Wright, inspired by the LCARS aesthetic from the Star Trek franchise, utilized ESPHome and LVGL, integrated with Home Assistant, to manage their smart home, according to The Verge. This project not only improved the functionality of their home but also aided in managing executive dysfunction, as reported by The Verge.
Wright's project involved the use of open-source platforms to customize their home automation system. The project was born out of a pandemic hobby, as stated by The Verge. The control panel, reminiscent of those seen on the USS Enterprise, allows for seamless control of various smart home functions.
The rise of AI is also impacting various sectors. Toma, a Y Combinator-backed startup, is seeking a Founding Engineer for AI Products, with a salary range between $140,000 and $220,000, according to Hacker News. The company aims to build an AI platform for underserved industries, addressing the gap between agentic innovation and real-world application, especially in sectors like automotive and healthcare, as noted by Hacker News. The role is based in San Francisco, CA, and requires skills in Next.js, Node.js, React, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Meanwhile, the use of AI is also being explored in other areas. Wired highlighted the best AI notetakers, such as Comulytic Note Pro and Open Vision Engineering Pocket, to record meetings, interviews, and classes. These tools aim to solve the challenges of traditional note-taking, including handwriting difficulties and the need for transcription.
The integration of technology into homes has also contributed to increased safety. Vox reported on the decline of burglary and robbery, highlighting the impact of technological advancements on home security.
