Home Assistant自動化的限制：無法偵測長時間狀態 / Limitations of Home Assistant Automation: Inability to Detect Long-Duration States

我本來想在Home Assistant設定自動化「如果實體的狀態維持[關閉]超過24小時，就把它設為[開啟]」，結果HA卻一直沒能觸發自動化。最後我把條件改成時間模式定期檢查、觸發，然後把條件設定在「且如果」裡面，這樣自動化才能夠正常運作。

I was trying to set up an automation in Home Assistant that would turn an entity [on] if its state remained [off] for more than 24 hours. However, the automation never triggered. I eventually got it working by changing it to a time-based automation that checks periodically and then using an condition to check the entity's state.

雜談：是時候該來處理一下Dify的問題了 / TALK: It's Time to Address the Issues with Dify

在「自行架設大型語言模式應用程式：Dify」這篇裡面，我用Dify在筆電架設了可客製化、具備RAG的大型語言模型應用程式。但這段期間用下來還是遭遇了很多問題。以下就稍微列舉一下我遭遇的狀況。

現代研究需要現代手段：研究工具彙整 / Modern Research Needs Modern Tools: A Compilation of Research Instruments

我在「現代研究需要現代手段：用知識管理和AI輕鬆做研究！」演講中使用了很多研究工具。為了方便讓大家找到這些工具，我把演講裡提到的工具都拉出來，額外放在下面進行介紹。這些工具包含了書籍、軟體、網站等等。有些是付費才能使用，有些是可以免費註冊帳號即可使用，使用之前請自行評估一下囉。

In my presentation, "Modern Research Demands Modern Tools: Leveraging Knowledge Management and AI for Effortless Research," I utilized a variety of research tools. For your convenience, I've listed those tools below with additional details. These resources include books, software, websites, and more. Some require payment while others offer free accounts. Please evaluate each option before using it.

雜談：用Chromecast接收器播放螢幕畫面並不容易 / Talk: Casting Your Screen to a Chromecast Device Can Be Challenging

由於我使用的設備是以Linux和Android為主，在螢幕投放的選擇上，Chromecast自然就是我的首選。雖然市面上很多號稱支援Chromecast的方案，但其實仍只有Google推出的Chromecast才具備完整的功能。不過，Chromecast的天性使得它難以移動，iOS使用者也不容易使用。目前要架設一個可移動的投影畫面接收器，仍然不是一件容易的事情。

現代研究需要現代手段：用知識管理和AI輕鬆做研究！ / Modern Research Demands Modern Tools: Leveraging Knowledge Management and AI for Effortless Research!

今年10月的時候我去南藝大為研究生們講述了活用圖書館資源、AI工具以及Zotero來撰寫研究論文的方法。有了內建大型語言模型資料庫的協助，例如Scopus、Semantic Scholar、Consensus、Elicit、SciSpace，現在作研究的方式已經有了很大的轉變了。投影片的內容分成了「研究搜尋篇」與「閱讀寫作篇」兩個部分，以下就來看看這次演講的投影片內容吧。

In October of this year, I gave a presentation at Tainan National University of the Arts to graduate students on how to leverage library resources, AI tools, and Zotero for research paper writing. With the help of databases incorporating large language models, such as Scopus, Semantic Scholar, Consensus, Elicit, and SciSpace, the way we conduct research has been significantly transformed. The presentation was divided into two parts: "Investigate Research" and "Reading and Writing." Let's take a look at the slides from the presentation below.

隨著12月到來而闖入的希希助教 / TA. Sissi’s Arrival in December

生活穩定一點之後，希希助教就可以定期出來跟大家打打招呼了。祝大家順利渡過期末喔！

為什麼我放在Docker Hub的映像檔不能用了？ / Why My Docker Image on Docker Hub Cannot Be Used?

我們現在能開心地使用各種Docker環境，都是多虧了Docker Hub保存了這些Docker映像檔。Docker Hub也可以稱得上是賽博菩薩了吧？但這免費資源可不是讓你毫無限制的使用喔！

We can now happily use various Docker environments thanks to Docker Hub saving all these Docker images. You could say Docker Hub is like a Cyber Bodhisattva, right? However, this free resource is not for you to use without limit!
