The features that have been most useful are the 'What is this random, unlabelled component' and it tells you not only what it is, but for a transistor, what the pins are, etc.
Also, the waveform generator is great for testing speakers to see if it is the speaker or the electronics that have broken.

Umesh Lokhande•10/15/24, 4:05 PM

You don't need to modify any file. All you should do is edit your code with updated password and compile a project using Skecth --> Export Compile BinarySkecth --> Export Compile Binary in Arduino IDE to generate .bin.bin file. Now this binary file can be uploaded into target hardware i.e. on ur Arduino R4 from OTA Tab of a Blynk Dashboard. This way you can change the password, remotely from anywhere. I hope this will help. Best wishes!

Hey guys, with the recent evolution in AI and Robotics what do y'all think?

Should AI-driven automation be prioritized over human workers to mitigate risks and enhance operational efficiency in industries where safety and precision are critical such as mining, construction, and manufacturing?

Considering factors such as job displacement, long-term cost implications, ethical concerns, and the evolving nature of AI capabilities.

What balance do you think should be struck between leveraging automation and maintaining a human workforce to ensure both safety and job security?
@Middleware & OS @MCU, MPU & Firmware

Edison_ngunjiri•10/15/24, 6:34 PM

By providing more training ,you can transfer human workforce to other roles.
Government can provide restrictions to protect the workers rights and promote fair distribution of automation benefits
The automation should supplement and not replace human workforce.

I just wrote a long post bringing in historical examples of how previous technological revolutions were a bit sh*t to live through for the people that lost their jobs at the time but in every case has advanced humanity each time.
However discord said it was too long and refused to post it.

See the agricultural revolution, the Luddites, etc.

ke7c2mi•10/15/24, 11:18 PM

Idealistically I like to think we can reduce our role as engineers to improving the "efficiency" of humanity through technology. We bring new capabilities, and make old capabilities cheaper and easier and more accessible.

If we do so well that not every person needs to work for us all to have a good standard of living, I see that as a good thing. (Note on this, if embedded got fully automated, I like to think I could still flash leds on my desk for fun)

The real problem there is social / political. Less work needed should just mean more time for frolicking

Dtynin•10/16/24, 3:47 AM

While training and transitioning workers to other roles seems ideal, not every industry can accommodate displaced workers with new roles at scale. Also, government restrictions might slow down technological innovation. Can we truly say automation will supplement rather than replace when the trend suggests full automation is the goal? @Edison_ngunjiri

Dtynin•10/16/24, 3:54 AM

It's easy to point to past revolutions and claim they advanced humanity, but they also caused immense social upheaval. The Luddites weren't just resisting change for the sake of it they saw firsthand the negative consequences for workers. Why should we assume this AI revolution will be any less disruptive or more humane?

ZacckOsiemo•10/16/24, 4:06 AM

All the revolutions turned out to be more humane than we ever thought, we live longer, healthier freeer lives because these things happened. Ofcourse there will be losers but ultimately when AI is finding breast cancer where a doctor would have missed it , life is good. Disruption is key remember it's not our world, it's the blind watchmakers world.

Revolutions indeed force society to adapt, but at what cost? While technological revolutions may eventually lead to positive outcomes, they tend to leave significant casualties in the form of lost jobs and livelihoods. Is it fair to ask current workers to endure these hardships just to benefit future generations

Dtynin•10/16/24, 4:27 AM

You're right, @ZacckOsiemo, life isn't fair, but the question is, shouldn't we strive to make it a bit more equitable, especially when we have the power to shape technological changes? It’s not just about adapting or surviving these disruptions but finding ways to balance progress with human impact. Suppose we only focus on long-term gains while ignoring the immediate human cost, aren't we missing an opportunity to innovate in a way that benefits both current and future generations?

Dtynin•10/16/24, 4:37 AM

@ke7c2mi Reducing engineers to improve efficiency sounds more like a justification for prioritizing profit over people. If fewer people are needed, does that automatically lead to a higher standard of living for everyone, or just for those already benefiting from the technology? Less work may mean more time for frolicking but only for those who can afford it.

Marvee Amasi•10/16/24, 4:45 AM

Look , cutting engineers to boost efficiency sounds more like trading brains for profit. Yup, fewer people might get the job done faster, but who really gets to frolic with the extra free time? Probably not the ones left juggling more tasks. The real trick is making tech work for everyone not just the top dogs. Thoughts on how we keep that balance?

Dtynin•10/16/24, 4:50 AM

ZacckOsiemo•10/16/24, 4:53 AM

Not really, every advancement in history has been made because someone crazy was obsessed with something. We don't want an equitable world. We do want a justified one. It turns out hierachies of competency matter. All surgeons are equal until your parent needs surgery then you need the best one. So we should focus on long term gain not pyrrhic ones but long term none the less.

ZacckOsiemo•10/16/24, 4:54 AM

Also if you see that the world is missing an opportunity to innovate ina way that benefits the pressent and the future, the onus is on you to bring that forward. I.e lets see you innovate that way.

Marvee Amasi•10/16/24, 5:09 AM

Yeah @ZacckOsiemo you are right cus obsession and competency drives real progress here tho and seriously no one is arguing against wanting the best when it matters most. But "justified" shouldnt mean only the elite benefit from innovation. The challenge is to ensure that as we push forward, we are not creating gaps that leave people behind. The innovation should lift us all

ZacckOsiemo•10/16/24, 5:11 AM

You are chatting on discord with people all over the world, technology is benefitting everyone. You want equality of opportunity not equality if outcome. If they are using it better to their benefit that's amazing, you can too.

ZacckOsiemo•10/16/24, 5:15 AM

Life expectancy in the 1820s was 30 to 40 yrs, now it is in the 70s. That means since the industrial revolution life expectancy has doubled. Technology is not just for the elite, they just use it better, of course some of that comes down to having resources. But not so much of that, that its impossible for others.

Marvee Amasi•10/16/24, 5:17 AM

technology has opened the doors for a lot of people yes that's a fair point

, and it's true that we all have the opportunity to use it in different ways. I guess the key is making sure that those opportunities stay accessible, so people have the tools and support they need to use them to their full potential. It's not to be forcing equal outcomes, but more about ensuring that no one is left out of the race

Marvee Amasi•10/16/24, 5:18 AM

ZacckOsiemo•10/16/24, 5:19 AM

No that's not how nature works, we simply can't take everyone. That's why choices exist, they can choose to participate in advancement or left behind. You can't force progress on people.

MMarvee Amasi Well how do you think we can keep expanding access while encouraging innovation

ZacckOsiemo•10/16/24, 5:20 AM

this is moot, access is prevalent. It's very very rare to find people who dont have access to choose the hard work in order to progress. Like Charlie Munger said, All of us know what we need to do, only 1% will do it thoughAll of us know what we need to do, only 1% will do it though

Marvee Amasi•10/16/24, 5:21 AM

the real win is giving more people the option to participate in that advancement if they want to. It's not about carrying everyone forward , just making sure that the door stays open for those ready to walk through it
