Mit dem OPNsense Release 25.7 "Visionary Viper" wurde die zuvor als "Legacy" bezeichnete IPsec Menüführung in der VPN Konfiguration aus dem OPNsense Setupmenü vollständig entfernt und durch das neue Connection Menü ersetzt. Damit wurde der OPNsense Konfigurationspart und entsprechende Screenshots im Tutorial zur Einrichtung eines IKEv2 VPN Servers für alle Onboard VPN Clients auf der OPNsense Firewall in Teilen obsolet. (Der pfSense Part ist weiterhin aktuell)

Das hier folgende Tutorial beschreibt die erforderlichen Konfigurationsschritte mit dem neuen Connection VPN Menü. Der Part zur Erstellung des Server Zertifikats, des Client IP Adresspools und der User / Passwort Einrichtung bleibt unverändert bestehen, wenn auch mit neuem Look and Feel. Los gehts...

I can legit say that lemmings helped me get through a rough patch in my childhood.

Playing the Atari ST version on a machine a teacher brought in from her house is a core memory. Sadly the other kid I played with didn't have such a happy outcome later in life, but I can say that a large part of my moral compass comes from the time I spent in an at risk school program watching troubled kids get discarded by the world. Thankfully I had a loving family to go back home to, but most of my classmates did not.

Then the district shut down a successful early intervention program for the most vulnerable of children. I wish nothing but ill will and suffering upon those who made that particular "fiscally responsible" decision.

I remember how sad the teachers and therapists looked, being forced to throw kids back unprepared into a school system that had already failed them. Even us kids could see how wrong everything about the closure was.

What does that mean, that the controller won't work without a cloud account? :)

It doesn't really matter which part in the chain requires the stinking cloud as long as they sneak it in somewhere.

Speaking of which, I just bought a Razer mouse again because I've read they gave up on the login requirement for configuring your blinkenlights. But they didn't. They invented a 'guest login' instead.

Burned twice so far.

> AI is a great tool, and it’s changing how we build software. But it’s not magic — especially not free, unlimited magic. As professionals, we should understand how it works, how much it costs, and how to use it better. In the real world, speed and cost matter as much as quality. We believe that’s where the industry is heading. So let’s face it and start mastering these together

This sounds unnecessarily condescending given that JetBrains failed to price their own product correctly.

Similar transition for me. Basic dual AP setup that I took from first gen UAPs (wifi 4) to U7 Pro. I think I have only one client (a Lenovo laptop) that connects with wifi 7, but even the wifi 6 devices are screamers now; my phone can get 600mbps symmetric with line of sight or 200-300mbps from two floors away. Just bonkers.

Major news outlets doing it are willing to argue it is okay. They are a membership only news publication with a free viewing option in their books.

Iirc it boils down to the fact the user still has a choice.

Either way your interpretation of GDPR and several major news outlets clearly differ, and i would bet my house on them having access to better legal advice than you.

I think it's more a case of don't use cheap consumer grade hardware in any kind of remotely demanding scenario.

I have "enterprise" TP-Link equipment for my house which I bought 3 years ago now and am very happy with it, in particular I'm using:

- 4x EAP245 Access Points

- 1x SG3428 Switch (the APs came with PoE injectors and I wanted a fan-less switch, hence why the switch is not PoE enabled)

I rent out a room on my property and have my tenant on a separate VLAN to the main house. I also have my IoT devices on a separate VLAN.

I use a generic PC with pfSense as my "router".

My only complaint is that their Omada Controller software doesn't want to run as a Windows Service (I'm not interested in trying to manage a Linux box). Fortunately, it's not required at all, but is useful for centralized configuration management and facilitation of handover of WiFi clients between APs.

Before I moved into my current large-ish place, I used "cheap" ISP supplied TP-Link routers with WiFi, and aside from limited speed capabilities, were 100% reliable for me, in particular I used the following two models:

- TL-WR840N

- Archer C20.

I also use a few cheap (but again fully reliable) 5 port and 8 port TP-Link 1GB/s switches, for example under my desk in my office to allow both my laptop and desktop to share the single CAT6 cable to the room.

Before buying the "enterprise" TP-Link equipment I considered Ubiquiti, but the TP-Link stuff was less expensive, I liked the controller being optional and considering all my past TP-Link equipment's reliability was a non-issue, I was happy "to take a risk".

Your first point feels like it should easily be handled by regular market forces, ie no one can produce one in a price range anyone would want to buy.

I would suggest that the only good reason to have a peak power limit in law on the engine is so that if you unlock it/chip it you can't blast off at 60mph. But at that point you're breaking the speed limit either way, so I'm still not convinced a peak power limit is reasonable.

I have a powered bike that limits the speed to the lawful limit, but the engine has 500w instead of 250w, meaning my bike is better at getting up hills than my wife's. I don't think this should be illegal, and if I want to pay for a stronger engine, that is reasonably up to me.

That nobody is enforcing the speed limit on bike lanes is an enforcement issue, and it doesn't get solved by having unnecessarily tangential laws. And I'm certainly not a "deregulate everything" person.

> No, it doesn't. Yes, there are general safety regulations in any country, but there are no hard rules as to what "satisfactory" or "fit for purpose" means.

There are not specific rules for every type of product in consumer law because that wouldn't be workable. Instead, you have to make your case in court, if it gets that far, that it doesn't meet that criteria. The judgements have to be made by squishy fallible humans, but it does happen; small claims courts rule on that sort of thing all the time. Your example would surely be found unsatisfactory.

So, yes, in the UK and other countries with a functioning political system, buying a product literally does buy you the right for satisfactory quality, and the right to get your money back if it isn't. That applies to everything from sandwiches to cars to email providers. (Again, that's only if you're a consumer. Protections are much weaker if you're purchasing as a business.)

Slightly related but mise, a tool you can use instead of eg make, has “on enter directory” hooks that can reconfigure your system quite a bit whenever you enter the project directory in the terminal. Initially I was horrified by this idea but I have to admit it’s been quite nice to enter into a directory and everything is set up just right, also for new people joining. It has built in version management of just about every command line tool you could imagine, so that an entire team can be on a consistent setup of Python, Node, Go, etc.

> WiFi in busy areas (like airports) sucks.

This is part of what opening up the 6 GHz was about.

But there are also provisions in newer standards like Target Wake Time: the client can be told to sleep for a while, not using radio spectrum (and also saving battery).

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11ah#Target_Wake_Time

OFDMA allows multiple clients to use the same frequency at the same time (using sub-channels):

What you’re describing sounds like one huge downside to me, not and advantage.

The only way to adopt Stalward is to drop everything else and use a single monolithic do-it-all?

Messages are stored in a bespoke format and not easily accessible directly?

It doesn’t sound like it’s made to be usable with other software. This isn’t an advantage in my book.

In space this wouldn't really work since there's no conduction or convection.

If you think of a big ball of droplet mist. From the point of view of a droplet in the center, it gets heat radiation from all the droplets around it. It can only radiate heat to black sky it sees, and it might be none, it's "sky" is just filled by other hot droplets. So it doesn't cool at all.

The total power radiated can't exceed the proportion to the macro surface area with tricks.

Both can be motivating factors, but not necessarily. It's possible that the Coq development team doesn't care about the jokes, but they do care about people being comfortable saying the name aloud at work.

> But if the message is "you are traumatized and need to process your trauma", then it's more like telling someone that they have a treatable injury.

There is a problem of diagnosis, trauma is not as objectively diagnosable as physical injury. If somebody falls out of a tree and stands back up, nobody tells them they probably have broken legs because that obviously isn't true in this instance even if it might usually be true for somebody in their circumstance. But if somebody experiences something that might usually traumatize a person, it is harder to objectively determine if that specific individual is actually traumatized. If somebody is, against apparent odds, basically fine, it is at least conceivable that trusted authorities could gaslight that person into believing they are actually traumatized, in a way that causes that person to become in fact traumatized.

Many years ago when I was at school, I found a paper on a table in the computing library with a list of root passwords for some of the machines at Yale, just sitting there. I tried one and it was valid (this was the old days when remote root logins were a thing). I sent the admins a message telling them, and I was entirely ignored. A month later I tried the password again and it was still good. Luckily for me, I guess, it was before the days of suing people for trying to be helpful.

An analogy which is closer to Google's experiment: measuring versus calculating the energy gaps in benzene to an arbitrary accuracy.

It is "verifiably" faster to measure those with state of the art "quantum tools" but that does not improve our understanding of other aromatic molecules.

(we may still get some insights about anthracene however)

The googles' advantage can be satisfactorily summarised as "not having to write the problem (ie off-diagonal terms) in terms of a classical basis" -- there is a severe overhead of having to represent qubits as bits.

Still, I suspect that that 13000x came from not putting in effort to implement the aforementioned "minimal structure" in their classical counterparts. They emphasized "echoes" and "ergodicity" & I think the "quantum" can further be dropped :)

In general, I do believe that whatever "informational advantage" we can get from these experiments should likewise be used to improve classical calculations.

As another eg: In the arxiv paper linked by GP they talk about provably-efficient shallow classical shadows

Love the object storage features!

Built-in S3-based stream storage solves the problem of running separate Stream Processing and Stream Storage solutions and builds on Proton's simplicity.

S3-based state checkpoints as well, both features synergize really well with Proton's strengths.

Congrats on this release and I hope I see more from you soon!

edit: oops I've read the Timeplus release notes that Peter linked, not Proton. Which of the listed features are new in Proton 3.0?

> LLMs do not even exist within the same plane of intelligence that AGI would. NanoGPT gets us no closer to AGI than Tylenol gets us to curing cancer.

You're saying that with a lot of confidence, but the truth is that we don't know if paracetamol might be the cure of cancer, less than we know for sure LLMs "do not even exist within the same plane of intelligence that AGI would".

Almost all discoveries are surprising, and after being discovered looks kind of obvious in hindsight. It just happened to be someone who stumbled over the right way of putting together the right pieces, and boom, something new discovered and invented.

With that said, I personally also don't believe LLMs to be the solution to AGI, but I won't claim with such confidence that they won't be involved in it, would be kind of outlandish to claim something like that this early on.

I made an app that might help you find a job, maybe. SearcherO helps you improve your CV and it searches multiple search engines to find job links that matches your CV.

it costs $0.10 per request with a $1 free credit.

you start with an anonymous login but you can login with google or github to connect to all devices.

I hope it helps you but its not a guarantee.

Ok have a nice day

Disclosing conflict of interest is not making you honest, it simply lets people know you have reasons to bend the truth

That's the reason in many cases disclosure is mandatory and not disclosing it is illegal. To let people know to take it with a grain of salt.

True honesty = no conflict of interest. Judging things for what they are not what bucks they can make you if you spin it right
Show HN: MAI-Image-1 – Ultra-realistic AI image generator with zero style limits
by Viaya | 2025-10-23 11:05:02+00:00
Hey HN

I’ve been experimenting with different image generation tools for months — but I kept running into the same problems: slow generation, repeated outputs, and limited artistic control.

That’s why I built MAI-Image-1, Microsoft’s latest AI image generation model designed for creators, designers, and developers who need fast, realistic results without sacrificing flexibility.

What makes MAI-Image-1 different:

Ultra-realistic rendering — it accurately captures light, texture, and natural shadows.

Lightning-fast generation — create detailed images in seconds.

No style lock-in — experiment freely without repeating patterns.

Seamless integration — works smoothly with other editing tools.

Real-time iteration — perfect for rapid concepting and design workflows.

Typical use cases include concept art, product design, advertising visuals, and any scenario where visual quality and speed both matter.

We’ve focused on performance + creative control, so the output feels closer to what you’d expect from a professional rendering engine than a generic AI model.

Try it here: https://www.maiimage1.com (example link, replace with your real URL)

I’d love your feedback:

What’s your impression of the image quality and speed?

What features would make it even more useful for your workflow?

Any integrations or control layers you’d want to see?

Thanks for reading — and I’d be thrilled if you give it a spin

Globally, an average of 79.35% of e-bikes used are pedal-assisted types, which allow users to cycle faster and with less physical effort.

Less popular among e-bike users are throttle-assisted and speed pedelec bikes.

Percentage of pedal-assisted e-bike users:

78.06% (Europe)

79.56% (United States)

81.17% (Asia)

Look, maybe low-code for professional programming is overhyped, but for the huge number of professionals who need to program as a part of their job, but programming is decidedly NOT their job, but who do not have programmers available to them, low-code is monumental. For these people, these low-code systems are huge productivity enhancers. We shouldn't be measuring productivity gain by professional programmers, but by the larger population of professionals who are required to wear many different hats.

Meanwhile my company has finally shut down last low code instance this year, after 10 years of struggling with maintaining a mountain of unmanageable slow-ass code, all the while paying through the nose for the licenses. Spoiler alert - literally zero non-programmers in my company have ever constructed even a single low-code "thing", as was advertised initially. Every person who worked with it was a programmer or QA who could program (aka SDET) and they simply had to suffer with all the limitations of low code platform while gaining none of the supposed benefits.

I suspect it will end up this way with LLM generated code. At most managers would generate some non-operational prototype of some app and then throw it to the dev team who will have to spend time deconstructing it and then rewriting from scratch (with or without LLM assistance).

One point where, I think, the analogy fails is context.

If one wants to modify a code base, it's necessary to be able to, sort of, load the program into ones head and then work off a mental model. The "slowness" of traditional development and the tooling around it gave people enough time to do this and over time, get really good at a navigating and changing a code base.

With LLMs being able to generate huge amounts of code in a short time, this is missing. The LLM doesn't fully know what it generated and the nuances. The developer doesn't have the time to absorb all that so at the end of the day, you have something running which nobody (including the original AI author) really understands. That's risky.

Of course, there are ways to mitigate and handle this I don't know if the original analogy is missing this.

35 miles per week is low milage.

10 miles per day would be more appropriate for someone aiming for a marathon.

If you eat real food and not "frapachino" (whatever that is) it can be pretty hard to eat enough food to keep your weight, without stomach issues.

You'd want to know how it handles trusted exec. You'd want to know how Linux and BSD both work, and how updates will work, and how independent firmware can be written and certified.

How it works, kind of follows its own pace. Being able to manage heterogeneous CPU architectures, that's the first thing which says "has an advantage in the marketplace"

I imagine like UEFI its FAT fs.

I have reported over a dozen ads to AdSense (Europe) because of them being outright scams (e.g. on weather apps, an AdSense banner claiming "There is a new upgrade to this program, click here to download it") . Google has invariably closed my reports claiming that they do not find any violation of the adsense policies.

While the constructions are for sure interesting for people who love thinking about different programming models, I opine that the story framing with the programming interview is "wrong":

Programming interviews serve two purposes to find out:

1. Is the candidate knowledgeable in programming?

2. Does the programming style (somewhat) fit the one that is desired by the company?

1 should be clear, and the author clearly passes this part.

For 2: In particular since programming is separated into so many "cultures" of which many of them take deep effort to get more than a superficial knowledge (that's why you talk of "Java shops", "Microsoft/C# shops", ...), in a programming interview, you also want to see whether the candidate will likely be a fit for the prevalent programming culture in the respective company. If you advertise a JavaScript position, it is highly unlikely that if you are that deeply into combinatory logic, you will be a good fit for this position - and thus he would very likely (for good reasons) be rejected if he came up with such a solution.

Quantum computing is mostly a scheme to get more grants/funding for quantum research, it doesn’t have any real world application and most likely won’t have any in the foreseeable future. Like verifiable means i can run 3x3 on any quantum computer and always get 9 as result - but quantum computers cant even do that. Don’t get me wrong; it’s very cool theoretical research, and more power to the scientist. But thinking it will have any impact on the real world in our lifetime is a pipe dream imho

You can do this today with OpenTrack: https://github.com/opentrack/opentrack

Also, TrackIR is just an IR webcam, IR leds, and a hat with reflectors. You can DIY the exact same setup easily with OpenTrack, but OpenTrack also has a neural net webcam-only tracker which is, AFAIK, pretty much state of the art. At any rate it works incredibly robustly.

Actually I have already used it to implement the same idea as the post, with the added feature of anaglyph (red/blue) glasses 3D. The way I did it, I put an entire lightfield into a texture and rendered it with a shader. Then I just piped the output of OpenTrack directly into the shader and Robert, c'est votre proverbial oncle. The latency isn't quite up to VR standard (the old term for this is "fishtank VR"), but it's still quite convincing if you don't move your head too fast.

I tried to set up stalwart, but I didn't understand exactly what it wanted me to do. It's a webserver (for webmail and admin) and mail server in one, but I already run a webserver and I already have cert infra. So I couldn't figure out what dns settings to use and what ports to reverse proxy. And how to get it to play nice and share the certificate. Seems like stalwart has been designed as if it is the only thing running on a machine, with sparse documentation for any other setup. I tried getting help on the discord server but the tone seemed to be of a sort of "it's quite obvious, you should already know this". At that point, it's so much friction to reverse engineer it that it might just be easier to set up dovecot and postfix.

Is it really easier/cheaper to colonize the moon, set up Helium 3 collection, and transport it back, rather than use Deuterium/Tritium?

Also while He-3 doesn't produce radio-active by products, doesn't the reaction require much higher temps than a D-T one?

Perhaps it might be wise to get one working first before investing too much in a moon shot.
