Demo: the State of the Art in Smart Home Tech - Tez Errington
We’ve been thinking about ‘smart homes’ arguably since 1896 when Nikola Tesla invented the remote control. And yet today things haven’t really changed much outside of a relative handful of homes now equipped with Ring-style video doorbells.
Tez Errington wants to show us that the potential for smart tech at home and in our commercial spaces already goes way beyond this. He’ll discuss how we can already deploy smart tech into our properties today and a vision for how things will change in the near future. In addition he’s promising some cool live tech demo’s to show us how its done!

Tez, Technical Production Manager for Durham County Council, is also the co-founder of Luxeia Smart Homes, a company born from a “Bright Idea.” Luxeia specializes in integrating smart technologies into homes, using open-source solutions to unify control of devices through a single application. With a passion for automation, both on stage and at home, Tez has worked globally to implement new technologies for conferences and live events, bringing innovation and technical expertise to diverse projects.

    But, capitalism requires competition to function at the highest level--artificial or no, if you remove the impetus to be the best in order to achieve network capacity (profitability) sooner, or ever, it stifles innovation. Leave it to a marketer to ignore economics in favor of behavioral science! Placing a thumb on the scale of competition may hasten progress, but it almost always warps innovation; speeding up the process is beneficial for the markets-but hardly ever for humankind. Every paradigm shift in history from the agricultural to the technological has proven that "move fast and break things" is only good for the small subset of people profiteering from the break. This thinking is very, very bad. Marketing sigmoid curves are profit-driven math and always will be. We need to take a step back and look at the full picture of the history he's describing, and ask ourselves what could have been achieved with the same diligence and resources, had profit not been the motivation behind the progress. "No one pays for the fish" is simply not true. Externalities of commerce cost us all.

  • @markfernandes2467
    @markfernandes2467 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I think the problem with most of these arguments is that people are too quick to jump on new trains (fads) Cherry picking examples from history is a form of survivor bias. Yes some of this stuff is preicated on sound arguments, like "network goods" (Metcalf's law, maths) No one's arguing that. and yes, the "burden of choice" is another real hurdle to uptake. monoplies though, as in Amazon or Google, seem to have come about from the private sector quite often without Government intervention. As have standards (VHS Betamax etc) Given this, is there really any need to get government to "pick winners"? Another problem is inertia. You say create a limited time monopoly. Hmm, that's not a thing. Monopolies never just give up Monopoly positions, even if licencing stops, people now have the behaviour and branding in mind. HOw would anyone compete? The way monopolies usually fall is ossification leads to lack of innovation and then a disruptive new tech (paradigm shift) just displaces it (Kodak) The West is in the throws of this process with Bricks and China. Some believe it stoppable rather than inevitable. I'm not so sure. If it wasn't for AI, I'd say it was inevitable. Interesting talk but definitely from a marketer.

    P.P.S. Alzheimer's has been dubbed as " Type 3 Diabetes " and a Low-Carbohydrate / Ketogenic diet along with completely cutting out highly inflammatory Seed Oils can be beneficial as any areas of the brain which may have become Insulin Resistant can run preferentially on Ketones over glucose and the liver will continue to make whatever glucose we need through gluconeogenesis. Ketone production can also be boosted by taking coconut based " MCT-8 Oil " Medium Chain Triglycerides convert easily in the liver to Ketones. Exogenous Ketones can also be used for a fast start.

    The first question to ask yourself is " Have I actually got Alzheimer's or have I perhaps got Alzheimer's-like symptoms from a Lipophilic Statin ? " If you have Alzheimer's-like symptoms because you're on a Lipophilic statin, switching to a Hydrophilic statin may be what you need ... or ... since the only people who really benefit from statins at all are those who have had massive heart attacks so if that's not you then you probably aren't benefitting from a statin anyway. Doctors were ( and still are ) encouraged to put EVERYBODY on a statin and you can bet that encouragement came from the Pharmaceutical companies which make them.

If this is so great, why the complete silence. The researcher has published other topics but nothing more on this. --- A review paper of near infrared devices used for photobiomodulation in 2024 concludes, "Although brain photobiomodulation has been studied for over two decades and has been proven to induce beneficial effects on various health conditions, it is uncertain which parameters are more suitable and cause more beneficial effect for different pathologies and patients. This fact is further intensified by the lack of consistency in the reporting of these studies, both in terms of parameters and device description, which is detrimental for research of this field since a significant part of the studies and results cannot be reproduced neither compared."

    That was very interesting, but there is a fundamental issue with using the government to do those things - it's success and failures are not affecting the people that make the choice in any way. Another more complex issue is that the agreement on what is a "good idea" changes, in my home country (which is a former British colony) we had several issues with using fax as a standard way to communicate with official government bodies for a few decades after everyone had already thrown away their fax machines. For the idea on the last minute, we also have a luxury tax of over a hundred percent on cars, and nobody thinks to change it now that every household in the median 20% have two of those. These problems are much more difficult to solve than finding a single rich person who is sold on your idea.

    I've long believed that data protection concerns are a major blocker to opening up public monoliths like the NHS. Expanding provision to private hospitals and clinics is tenable if the government or some long-sighted, responsible public monopoly body keeps hold of patient data centrally. That information in the hands of for-profit private companies is begging to be monetised and sold on, absent hugely draconian data privacy laws, but splitting it up between providers loses the benefits and insights that can be leveraged by holding it all in one place.
