Show HN: Shifu Brings mobile app development ease to the IoT world
Hi HN,

We're excited to introduce Shifu, a platform that makes IoT development easy and intuitive. We know that traditional multi-device interaction can be complex and time-consuming, because you need to manually integrate all those heterogeneous devices, which is why we've worked hard to create a platform that brings app-like simplicity to the process.

Our platform is cloud-native, extending the resources of Kubernetes through CRD. Shifu creates digital twins to accomplish physical device management, making the development process even more efficient and user-friendly.

Give Shifu a try and see for yourself!
I purposefully avoid setting yearly goals, as so much can happen during that time. My real goals can change (and make me feel bad for being so indecisive) or I could pass good opportunities by being too focused on a different goal. What I like is setting a direction or a topic and – in absence of surprise, good or bad – try to follow it. In 2022, it was setting up the processes to run my company as smoothly as possible. For 2023, I want to reach out and experiment. That means getting myself out there to connect with interesting people and maybe find new clients, employees, friends,... The world is a fascinating place and that's the year I want to experience it. Here are some of the goals that go in that general direction:

* Finish the setup of my blog and start publishing posts from my (too long) draft backlog.

* Back in October, I started doing 3-month experiments with my day-to-day life to try different structures and seek personal fulfillment. Thanks to being a freelancer/contractor/consultant, I worked for 6 months at 120% plus the overhead of running my company and at 10% the next 3 months. Neither have much room to construct a meaningful work-life balance: work too much and there is no life, work too little and there is no point. Now that I work between 40 and 80% and it's the most fulfilling life I've had so far. But the lines between work and life are still too fuzzy and I know I can improve both by finding the right structure, hence the experiments.

* Publish some open source utils that I've created to scratch an itch and found no good alternative to – think Home Assistant / IFTTT but for commands on your own computer.

* I work on using technology to bring innovative solutions to SMEs (it won't awe the average HNer though...) and I used to organize hackathons. So I'm thinking about offering summer internships to build a Proof-of-Concept showing the value technology can bring.
> Also has there ever been a society where flaws are just accepted without any kind of judgement?

We're moving goal posts here. You asked whether it was socially acceptable to be a flawed person and I responded to that specifically. I never wrote that any and every flaw should be accepted. That's very different from accepting that everyone is flawed in some way or another and actually dealing with those flaws in stead of pretending we aren't.

> we don't feel comfortable openly judging people's flaws

That's hilarious in a period where politics is turning into nothing more than pointing out the flaws of others, whether those flaws exist or not. Attack ads have become more common than ads talking about plans and politics. There are entire TV shows only taking about flaws of others. All while pretending that the people judging others are in some way not flawed at all.
ChatGPT actually showed me how much I'm frustrated with Google nowadays. It gave me a glimpse of what real question answering can be - and it's not opening 10+ tabs and endlessly reformulating the query in hopes something relevant and not just popular will come out.

I really want a tool like that - just ask a question and get a simple straight answer. For now its Google's "here is a bunch of websites, search it yourself" or ChatGPT "sure, here is the answer, but maybe I hallucinated the whole thing, lol"
Not quite what I had in mind, but that's not a bad idea. E ink displays make for some cool projects.
Live chat often is the fastest and easiest way to contact a human without having to register.
I have a very mild case of it. I grew up in a generation that went to many, many live music shows without any sort of ear protection. I also spent many days in close quarters with other musicians playing very loud music.

> Here are some graphs charting usage through EPEL statistics: https://rocky-stats.tiuxo.com.

As someone who has had to use Oracle Linux for quite a few projects due to requirements, those graphs are actually a sobering look on things.

Of course, all of those distros are reasonably similar at the end of the day, but it's pretty clear that the popularity of Rocky Linux, Alma Linux, and even CentOS Stream are all formidable.
The science part of the story really bothered me.

"arced past Venus ... roughly 159 million miles from Earth, a bit too close for comfort" means Earth and Venus were at opposition.

That is, the furthest they can get apart is when both are at aphelion and at the other sides of the Sun = 94.51 million miles for Earth + 65.36 million miles for Venus = 159.87 million miles.

This isn't "too close for comfort" - Venus will be behind the Sun. I calculate the maximum visible distance for Venus is 156.6 million miles. No one will be able to see it, much less target it from a laser in Earth's orbit and have the refracted light visible on Earth.

> giant satellite laser beam

Laser beams spread ("beam divergence"). When we use lasers to measure the distance to the Moon, it's widens from a few meters to a couple of kilometers. A space satellite will have to be very large to give a narrow focused beam across millions of miles - which is hard to hide. Only a small part of that beam will hit a 5 meter long object. The light reflected/refracted from that will not all go back to the Earth.

The amount of power needed for that reflected laser light to blind people on Earth, or to cause after-images, is incredible. And very expensive.

> the systemic risks induced into the diamond market by an extraterrestrial diamond asteroid

I assume synthetic diamonds will be even easier to produce in 16 years.

If I get the numbers right, about 140 million carats of diamond are mined every year, and 14.6 billion carats of (mostly industrial diamonds) synthesized.

FWIW, 0.2g * 140 million carats = 28 tons, or @ 3500 kg/m3 = about 8 cubic meters.

> big enough chunks would break off for his robo-space-vacuum-drones to slurp up

The diamond is in a hyperbolic orbit, so at solar escape velocity. How do those drones capture the chunks and have the delta-V to bring enough diamond back to affect market rates?

The outcome is interesting. I can easily interpret it as a form of environmentalism commentary, following the long tradition of SF being a form of commentary about the present-day.

So, what about making it a fly-by, a few Moon distances from Earth. Rüst could be a trillionaire with a personal SETI project to send laser messages to other stars. (With government interlocks preventing him from pointing it towards Earth.) And the diamond could be an alien space probe, activated when hit by the laser. That would hand-wave the tech needed for the shimmer.

> the public believes the best use case for Bitcoin is to not use it. This counterintuitive idea has nothing to do with the vision for Bitcoin described in the original white paper. Bitcoin is intended to be used, not just held.

> How come the only use case seems to be a dishonest pyramid scheme?

Because the fixed supply encourages hoarding.

If bitcoin wanted to encourage use over holding, it should have done without the reward halvings. Just have a fixed reward, i.e. a pure linear emission. Now it takes n years to get yearly supply inflation down to 1/n.
This vastly reduces the fear of missing out and speculation, while encouraging use as a currency.
well somebody has to say this or lame asses like you just keep thinking that your entitlement is actually reasonable, I've seen too many of you here on HN. Employment goes two way, you are free to leave the company and they are free to fire you, whenever they feel like. The fact that they shouldn't have hired you in the first place or that they are still making profit is irrelevant.

I think that in civil law countries you can sometimes give / sell away your copy rights, but never your moral rights ?

(Though copy rights themselves might also be treated as actual rights, rather than a temporary monopoly, an exception to the normal state of everything being in the public domain that prevails in the common law countries ?)

Is there another universe? Do you know what direction to go to get to this other universe or are you heading out hoping to hit one? How far apart is this other universe? How much energy does this infinite time society need? Probably other similar questions apply, i can't think of any now though.

If I knew all that I could go back to my physics textbooks and calculate. Without though, who knows.
I find that wearing earplugs really helps with the background noise in bars thing. Counter-intuitively (for me) it makes it much easier for me to hear the person next to me.

Here are some things I would like to see with a tool like this:

1. The ability to choose what side of the circle the bubble of text is

2. an opacity slider so you don't have to toggle browsing mode on or move things around to see what's behind

3. drawing capabilities so you can mark an area etc.

4. same as 3 but shapes that you can resize

5. allow people to comment on feedback given - basically threads for each feedback bubble or whatever - that way you can ask for clarity etc.

6. an archive of all feedback that has existed - so you can track what feedback has been resolved etc.

7. labels that can be added to feedback bubbles and then some way to filter them all so you only see feedback that targets your specific label filter ex. you only want to see feedback for text or only feedback for design etc. can also be used for prioritization, as not all feedback should be treated equally

I am sure I could come up with more, but these are what I just thought about now.
Interesting Gallup poll, however they didn’t split out the gender by generation. I’ve always suspected that the male LGBT polling would stay relatively constant for Gen X and more recent, while female LGBT polling would dramatically increase in the recent generations. Curious if my hypothesis is correct.
Without context, it's still a reasonable translation. I guess the idiomatic English in that situation would be "When the coffee is gone, it's gone.", or maybe "Refills of coffee will not be provided".
Github audit log is unusable when trying to figure out what the "suspicious activity" is. For the repo category only the actions which change something are logged. At least for the enterprise plan I would like to see the audit log more like the AWS CloudTrail. Just log all the API calls.
That's the cousin of telephone hold music that interjects with a recording periodically, such as "We apologise for the delay; your call is important to us". All this does is repeatedly grab the caller's attention AND progressively reduce the strength of the grab, so that finally when a real live & hopefully useful human joins the call they may not be noticed. Just give me some crappy Muzak: instrumental without voice, or a gentle periodic beep to confirm the line hadn't dropped. If there is a voice then let it be only to tell me the remodeling queue length, e.g. "You are now eight callers from being served", and only do it upon change of status, not repeating every 30 secs.
I'm not defending this at all, but one of the reasons why there are no (or few) humans that can be contacted is that they* said that it was tried before and it caused a lot more issues with mistakes/takeovers due to social engineering.

The novel thing with ChatGPT (besides the language model) is the interface and how flexible the informal question answer interface is.

I’m trying to imagine what other interfaces could expose value from these existing AI tools value simply by making it easier and as low effort as possible.

Similar to how GitHub Copilot/Tabnine automatically suggests completions as unobtrusively as possible without requiring a lot of manual intervention. Just as an extension.

Once we have a google glasses type augmented reality this sort of light automated assistance can be fed automatically into our lives. Just by hearing or looking at something it could turn it into an automated prompts and be unobtrusively suggested or visually fed into our lives. Auto-translation of foreign languages is the obvious AI example with AR.

Maybe other interfaces such as direct MacOS integration the way the smart search box/Alfred style works or browser extensions.
Taking things to a logical extreme is what self-described rationalists do, almost religiously.

This is one of the more compelling arguments to this. It at least certainly puts it into the bounds of possible. God did it, so there's a way that doesn't violate the laws of nature.

I think this touches on my main beef with a specificity of Drexler's argument: He's written that biological systems are akin to a bit of a chaotic soup of machinery, while the APM systems he proposes are neat, organized; more like a factory. This begs the questions of #1: why nature hasn't built something like his APM factories, and #2: Why shouldn't we persue something more like biology vice his version of current-tech-but-smaller APM.

Drexler uses Biology as an example of APM being feasible, but his vision is distinct from biology's.

They probably calculated the original chances assuming independent random variables for answers, and the truth is that those variables are dependent and highly correlated because they are twins.

Both the articles and the original out of thin air calculations are completely made up, but it's pretty conceivable that the cheating program had a mistaken assumption of variable independence, which is clearly false in this case.
Ah cool, it's a challenge but if you like languages it's pretty fun. French is maybe more useful, though!

Public/industrial/commercial toilets in the US generally do not have lids, only seats.

They also seem to flush a lot more violently than residential toilets, relevant to the issue raised by TFA.

It is strange to me that there are two parallel systems. I imagine the commercial ones require less maintenance but are more expensive?
IIRC right at the beginning of COVID there was speculation it could be spread by air discharge from sewer stack vent pipes; that later turned out to be very likely but no one wanted to talk about "airborne" at that time.

"We" as beings are at least as much the micro biome that inhabits and surrounds us as we are ourselves. Sharing those pools of semi-independent life with each other; letting them taste the world we live in and adapt to the locale we're in today, is probably more important than we want to recognize. Closing the lid when you flush may well be a fundamentally uncivil act.
Thanks for the recommendation.

Ontology should take up the most mental effort.

Unfortunately, much of the advice in vouge today argues against thinking about ontology. That advice comes from an epistemological stance that you can't know the right ontology beforehand so you shouldn't even bother trying. Instead, I would argue, in those situations, you should design for the ability to easily evolve your ontology and system.
The more I hear, the more I wonder what smear campaign is going on. The idea is obviously good, I've checked out the website a few years ago and iirc it had useful information that people can use to donate to things they care about and are effective. I'm not otherwise involved, but I can't understand why all the hate, why report only the negatives / political aspects of the organisation and condemning the whole idea? Is it like with people who too loudly proclaim to be vegan and the people around them can't stand it because they're made to feel morally inferior?
There are also urinals with lids, but i have not seen them on public toilets.
It's catering to Fortran developers. Matlab was also catering to Fortran developers (you can read up the history of Matlab). And I wouldn't discount HPC guys as non-developers.
Keep in mind when a stock is trading the original company doesn't get any of that money unless they have shares.

What Cook is saying is that Apple is in the enviable position of being to make long term plans. Not every decision can immediately be boiled down to an ROI calculation, but that's what short term thinkers want.

For example, how much has Apple invested to develop this E2E system (the tech, support, etc...), and what is the ROI? IMO, over the long term it should have a positive ROI, even if I can't draw a direct link from quarter to quarter right now.
If you travel a lot in the US, you can go weeks without using a toilet with a lid. Many/most midrange business-focused hotels have commercial style lidless toilets, and save for custom Toto washlet boutique office setups demanded by Americans who have had the pleasure of spending time in asia, almost no commercial office or workspace in the US has lidded toilets.
It can be equivalent, in practice.

this reasoning carries an implicit assumption (or axiom[1]): "money can buy happiness"

in fact, the argues in the story, that they would probably not have as good as a relationship with their first child if they'd had gotten a lot of money back when all this went down...

[1] what is an axiom? I haven't quite figured it out, but an axiom should never be implicit. so maybe not a good simile[2].

[2] the fuck's a simile? analogy? metaphor? ugh.
In fact it would be interested to compare all sorts of toilets under this aspect. Perhaps there is one that is superior.

On the other hand it's interesting not just to see water particles flying through the room but perhaps also where they are coming from. If you design a toilet that sucks everything out first (without a splash) and the rapidly replenishes the water (in a splashy fashion), the percentage of pathogens might be much lower.
The title sounds like someone detected dark matter with quantum sensors when the article is in fact about a technique that could perhaps maybe be used to do such a thing.

Not a single wifi consumer vendor have any say on those features. it is one hundred percent done on the closed OS in the radio chip.

your expensive ubiquiti/oanda/cisco have the same mimo/beanforming performance as any opensource/clone using the same wifi radio chipset.

the consumer facing OS just flip a bit somewhere in the configuration flash. granted, knowledge of the right bit to flip mighty be missing on the opensource still, but there's no magic happening in ubiquity owned code.

uniquity is extra shaddy as they buy off the shelf components but demand custom labeling to look like it's their custom silicon. it's not. uniquity is the matress store of wifi.
