To be honest, I follow #living #art. Not #dead perceptual #reflections of what is known by a completely separate #vision under its name.
And here's why:
1. Animated #creation inspires #innovation to take #shape around you.
2. Still creation requires #curation to make shape #matter beyond embodiment.

@paninid fast forward to the present and scientists who barely study #philosophy label #metaphysics as #pseudoscience (forgetting what #PhD means), torment #logic for the benefit of "elegant" #math equations (e.g. antimatter, dark #matter), and design #AI #systems that weaponize #ethics as justification for #information #censorship (#ChatGPT "knows" but refuses to answer how to a hot wire a car or commit murder while claiming no #opinion, ignorant that words and actions are different)

Does ANYONE know... if a smart home's device says it's #Matter, and you add it to the #Apple #Home app, do instructions from the #Apple Home #Hub go THROUGH the internet to the hub of the Matter device...or do they go locally on your LAN only?

TIA!

I'm automating stuff at the family farm using #homeassistant ; lights, smoke alarms, stove fire preventers, heaters.

It's inspiring to see so many iot devices support #ZigBee but also infuriating that 50% of the ones I've encountered has something fucky with their zigbee implementation. It's also somewhat concerning that the mains-connected zb router devices I've found will drop off immediately when the power goes out. The thought of not getting alerts about a fire in the barn if the power's out, concerns me.

I've got my eye on #matter , but I can't find compatible smoke alarms in Norway (so I can be confident they comply with local regulations, and return them if they're bad), and only limited reviews of ones available from abroad.

I see there's matteralpha.com/category/smoke and community.home-assistant.io/t/ but idk.

Can anyone recommend a mains-powered zigbee router device with a built-in battery, that'll keep it routing for at least 1 hour if it loses power?

Alternatively, a small (max 20*10*10cm) #ups that'll power a zb router or other tiny device for 1 hour? #NUT #networkUpsTools compatibility is a big plus

Observation of charge-parity symmetry breaking in baryon decays: arxiv.org/abs/2503.16954 -> Why is there more #matter than antimatter? CERN result offers tantalizing new clue: nature.com/articles/d41586-025 - physicists have spotted a difference in the way matter and antimatter baryons decay, which could help to explain a major cosmic mystery.

@balloob Nice! I'm so glad you're part of this.

This even increases my hope that #Matter will succeed!

#homeassistant integration recommendation of the day:

"This project simulates bridges to publish your entities from Home Assistant to any Matter-compatible controller like Alexa, Apple Home or Google Home. Using Matter, those can be connected easily using local communication without the need of port forwarding etc."

I am not using this integration myself, as I don't own any #Matter devices (yet?). But I read many good things about it. Seems to be one of a kind.

Home Assistant Announces Official Matter Certification
allthethings.best/home-assista
Home Assistant has achieved certification from the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) for its implementation of the Matter protocol, marking a significant milestone as the first open-source project to receive such recognition. The certification reflects the capability of open-source projects to match or surpass leading technology companies in delivering quality smart home experiences.

@missphant I have 7 devices connected via #Matter over WiFi to a #HomeAssistant instance. They are happily working fine alongside each other and playing nicely with #Zigbee devices and others. Seems pretty solid, and unlike other devices I’ve had in the past, they are not constantly phoning home (like my light dimmers). I use #PiHole as well as a firewall to lock things down, e.g., by keeping the chatty light dimmers on their own isolated subnet.

The Hue lights were organized in the Hue app.

When I added the Hue integration to Home Assistant, Home Assistant confirmed the rooms for the lights nicely in one screen.

However, when accessing the Hue lights via Home Assistant in Apple Home and Google Home, the lights are not organized by room. It’s a giant mess that makes the Apple|Google Home app unusable for anything but voice access with Siri|Gemini.

I’m still using the Hue hub, not the ZBT-1/Zigbee yet.

#Microsoft now says it has created a new state of #matter in its quest to make a powerful machine, called a #quantum #computer, that could accelerate the development of everything from #batteries to #medicines to #AI.

On Wednesday, Microsoft’s scientists said they had built what is known as a “topological qubit” based on this new phase of physical existence, which could be harnessed to solve mathematical, scientific & technological problems.

#Microsoft Says It Has Created a New State of #Matter to Power #Quantum #Computers

Microsoft’s new “topological qubit” is not based on a solid, liquid or gas. It is another phase of matter that many experts did not think was possible.
