I assume that ASUS routers are based on Linux, so shouldn't the source for these routers be readily available? I am able to find custom third party mods (asuswrt-merlin) but I can't actually find a clear copy of the original sources!

This is very common when I look to find source for embedded devices like this. What I expect is the next step is that you will find (or be given) a borderline useless blob of source that doesn't explain any of it's build process, which is absurd because the GPL clearly defines the build "glue" as part of the source.

Is ASUS another company that is doing a poor job of GPL compliance in this space?

Is it intentional?
None of them are things your ISP will ship you free, nor things you'll find on eBay for $20.

(Despite routers capable of gigabit speeds being commonly both free and available on eBay for pennies)
Except that there is a mountain of evidence that shows none of Apple's parts are nearly as expensive as the retail price.

If I remember correctly, the Iphone 13 Pro costed an estimated $570 USD build, with a retail sale cost of $1,099 USD.

Of course, the same can probably(?) be said about the phones produced by competitors such as Samsung, with the Galaxy.

Point being, Apple has always marked their garbage up by anywhere from ~150% to 200% of the actual build price. There is no reason to trust Apple's pricing for spare parts. Especially when previously, these same repair stores went by the back door to get these parts directly from the factories in China.

interesting that it sounds like a bad thing that the prison is minimum security.

As a Dane the American prison system baffles me. it obviously doesn't work and has commercial interests to the entire countrys detriment.

yet I still feel this schadenfreude and the sentiment that sentences should be rougher and longer.

where does this societal incongruence come from?
Thanks so much! Maintaining is easy now, the important part was just designing a system that makes it easy to get new updates out. After that, it’s mostly just run a script, enter a few pieces of text, and it’s good to go!
Does it have "contains" and paths yet?
I believe it comes down to the statistical frequency in the dataset used to build the tokenizer. If the dataset is 90% Burmese the resulting tokenizer will have single tokens representing common complex constructs in Burmese instead of English. Today's tokenizer might tokenize Burmese letter-by-letter or even byte-by-byte as it is not a very common language on the internet.

Kites are much more sophisticated than pens and they're not relying on the same principles to work. A pen is just a physical obstacle to prevent animals from getting out. These rely on the animal's herd-following and avoidance instincts, as well as how poor eyesight, panic and misdirection. They wouldn't work very well at containing leisurely grazing animals, but they're also much cheaper to build.

Also worth noting that you don't actually need to pen animals to domesticate them. It has a lot of advantages (e.g. separating them from predators), but it's not required and may even be disadvantageous if you're a (semi-)nomadic pastoralist.
I remember chasing memory bugs in C# and Java projects at work. These are usually considered memory-safe languages yet their sophisticated garbage collectors are not panacea. There is a reason things like this https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/ref/Weak... exist. Or why you might re-use existing objects in certain situations https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/java-performance-tuning... .

On the other hand, there are garbage collectors available for C and C++ programs (they are not part of their standard libraries so you have to choose whether you use them or not). C++ standard library has had smart pointers for some time, they existed in Boost library beforehand and RAII pattern is even older.

Don't put all the blame for memory bugs to languages. C and C++ programs are more prone to memory leaks than programs written in "memory-safe" languages but these are not safe from memory bugs either.

Disclaimer: I like C (plain C, not C++, though that's not that as bad as many people claim) and I hate soydevs.
Sorry to be pedantic, but I'm failing to see how this is related to the OP?
not sure about Mandarin, I think it will follow a different path given that a significant degree of the meaning is implicit in Mandarin. LLM is trained in explicit (documented) information, so unclear in my mind right how whether this will be more or less efficient. Will read the link though - thanks!
Seems like counterintuitive but then again the article does not mention cellphones which is quite enough for many people.

It is actually very difficult to reset password for some accounts. Many services would send verification code to registered email account. I have lost access to my gmail account for 7 months, I was only able to reset a few passwords. epicgames wouldn't allow me to change my registered email, nintendo doesn't allow me to change my registered email.
There's definitely a wire somewhere in the mix. Probably more than one!

> Context and scale matter.

Who determines context in this case? On what basis?

I disagree that scale matters. A right doesn't disappear simply because multiple people exercise it in a way others find unpleasant. Either a liberty exists on its own merits to it doesn't.

> Drawing a picture of a dollar bill is not illegal, but forgery is

Forgery requires a mens rea; in particular there must be an intent to deceive or profit from deceit.

> It's not illegal to call someone, or to ask them a question, or to follow someone. It IS illegal to stalk someone.

In a number of cases, stalking statues have and do implicate rights. There isn't a consistent corpus of case law or statute to make a clear distinction between merely undesirable contact and stalking as such.

> Anglo Saxon culture

A language is not a culture. Many people with English as a native language are not culturally Anglo-Saxon.

And even if it was, prevalence is not supremacy.
You can try almost anything in a courtroom, whether something’s likely to work is wholly another matter. When in doubt, legal processes tend to try to defer to precedent and prior case law.

My guess is they would see a parallel between other also-not-really-telegraph-wire technologies on which others were convicted of wire fraud, and a Starlink connection.

This means it probably wouldn’t legally be treated as appreciably different from any other current physical or wireless connection.

I can’t imagine mandarin ever becoming widespread in the west unless there are some fundamental changes to Chinese society and culture.

Similarly western tech companies have huge issues in penetrating the Chinese market.
Ask HN: Why are software project management tools little more than todo lists?

User stories/features don’t have a binary finished state. Equating them with tasks makes no sense.

Tools should build on user stories and requirements instead of tasks.

Stories should be organized into phases of planning, working, review.

Stories should be organized into releases, and be part of multiple releases.

User stories and releases should be separate things. A feature isn’t “done” when it’s shipped. The context around a feature should be kept across iterations.

Anybody else feel the same way? Thoughts?

it is not about the content or knowledge. Journaling is a tool to help you reflect and refine your thoughts. The thought process that came out of writing is more important than what gets writtern. In short, it helps you think better and more self aware.
It exposes you (the merchant) to PCI auditing requirements (which isn't mentioned once in the article‽) far in excess of what you'd get if you just used the vendor (be it Stripe or Adyen or Square or Paypal or whomever your payments process is)'s tokenization. You don't really want that. It's a total distraction and bunch of noise if your core competency isn't payments processing.

Doing your own tokenization isn't going to shield you from chargebacks or their costs.

I think at this point they have eroded enough brand trust it would be difficult to recover from. I'm not hyper-vigilant in this area, but I can say with confidence I have absolutely no expectation to do anything related to ASUS hardware for any of my upcoming tech purchases. That's a decision that will likely affect my purchasing for the next 5 years since I don't often re-build my PC.
I think in college I rented a house where ailanthus was growing up through the lawn. Every year we pulled starts out and the foul odor in that description makes me think that was it.
Yes: the same design decisions that make these vehicles very expensive to repair also makes them hard to fix at the manufacturing stage since any change inevitably affects every other part of the design.

I sympathise with this view in general and with her situation having kids she won't be able to see for 10 years.

But us I understand in this specific case she played an important role in driving one of her employees to suicide, and her fraud concerning her tech is not just financial, it was giving people false information about their health, including cancer - which is close to violence to me.

In fact my sympathy with this case is not that it is too harsh for a small crime (fraud), it is that the crime is so huge that she must have been psychopath and might deserve mental treatment. Genuinely how can someone live with giving hundred of thousands of people false health information based on a test they know is garbage?

Reflections on Orders of Magnitude
Why would ASUS release the source code for its router firmware? It doesn't have to be GPL.
I know orders of magnitude more details since WP has existed. Could have found much of it elsewhere but benefits are clear.
Bun clearly is both a great project and has rough edges.

Thank you to the Bun team for the work you're doing.

Thanks also to OP - the success of tooling depends upon the work of both the project and the early adopters willing to put in the work like OP did (seems substantial and motivated at least partly by sheer challenge/intellectual curiosity).

While it's definitely not ready for the mainstream, it's still a very interesting project.

Yes, and had they continued to insist, showed their guns, and refused to leave he would have gotten away with getting a weapon and shooting them. But most homeowners are both unwilling and unable to take down a couple of armed thugs, assuming he even had a weapon at home that wasnt a fantasy sword replica.

Had he escalated and then drawn a weapon, odds are they would have shot him and may well have gotten away with it, claiming they were just asking questions and he immediately drew a weapon and tried to shoot them.

Remember that when some rednecks hunted down and killed a kid a while back for running while black(Ahmaud Arbery) the police initially wanted to drop the prosecution, and its quite possible that without the national attention of the Floyed case, and the murderers being dumb enough videotape themseles, they may well have gotten away with it. The simple fact that it was a discussion of if they would get convicted at all is just as telling. And police will generally back security companies more than rednecks in court.
It’s interesting the great man version of history and its hold on our consciousness.

The “sandwich” was “invented” by the Earl of Sandwich’s servants.

Erik the Red discovered Greenland (which is in North America) and Leif Erickson “discovered” Vinland and (I think) the American mainland.

You can only discover things which already exist. Otherwise it’s invention. It’s more right to state he accidentally discovered that you could sail west from Europe and hit landfall after crossing the open ocean. He defied almost all expectations.

I think most of the rest of the debate looks to diminish him due to his evils (and the evils that sprung from European colonisation in the modern period) rather than attempting to more accurately describe what he did.

Regardless, a group of intrepid people migrating across the Bering land bridge is a little different in terms of the risks faced by a man blindly sailing west when everyone rightly said he was mad.

He’s the first non-Pacific Islander to belong to the exclusive club of finding a route to land where he went through open ocean.
Not to mention that a lot of connections are still DSL (misrepresented as "fibre" which is apparently perfectly legal) so in practice a cellular connection may very well be an upgrade.
Interesting. I have asus zenwifi mesh routers and today one of the nodes went offline and it took me a while to realize and then fix it. The fix was manually updating all of the firmware for every mesh router, so it seems like it was a similar problem.

EDIT: crap, I just checked again and two of my nodes are offline now. Only the root node is working. Too late in the evening to fix it now, guess I’ll be working on that in the morning.
You are right. Graphic Audio (graphicaudio.net) made me re-listen to Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive (all 4 books). With a cast, it becomes so much entertaining.
I see the valid point you make about how civilization should strive to be above cruel, black/white judgement and ideally encourage empathy towards others in order to be considered just. But I also can't argue against an average citizen not having enough empathy/attention to give (from the limited pool we all have) to one of the biggest and most infamous con artists of our time. It's not like she's in there for just doing drugs.

The good thing about the heat pump I've got is that it's also surprisingly quick to heat up. If you do run out (I never have, but I experienced the speed the first time it was turned on when it was installed) you can go and press the 'Boost' button on the controller and you will have 50L in 20 minutes and a full tank (mine is 315L) in 3 hours.

The system also heats the tank to at least 60 degrees C at the sensor point (about 2/3 of the way down) at least once every 24 hours and then has a tempering valve on the output for safety. That way you don't have scalding water at the point of use, but do have lots of hot water available and no issues with Legionella bacteria.
There is a difference between believing she operates under such cold calculus, and not believing she doesn't. I could be convinced one way, but not the other.
Ehh, I am employed at a company where, despite things being very tense at the moment, I've felt very comfortable expressing to my manager my intent to transfer out of the team I'm currently on and into a different position, as I'm not happy with things as they are.

My manager, skip, and director have all been extremely supportive of this throughout the process, despite it taking a somewhat lengthy period of time and putting me (a senior-almost staff eng on the team) in a position where it's very difficult for me to commit to a significant ownership of big strategic things (which is my job) since I might transfer out at any moment.

Similarly, a few years back, I expressed intent to transfer away from my team to my manager. He basically said "stick around an extra quarter since you're on the cusp of promotion and it'll be easier this way" (and he was correct, my promotion would have been delayed if I transferred first), and I did and got promoted, and ended up staying longer, for various reasons.

Additionally, my managers have all been receptive to my goals in terms of career growth: do I want to lean into management (no!) or into deep technical expertise? Do I want to go for additional promotions, or am I happy to stay in the role I'm in and continue doing the same kind of work?

All of this, to me, reads more like career management than job management.

Is it really that different? It's fine in languages with multiple dispatch to have its builtin functions in the default namespace, but that doesn't mean that we'd want functions for everything in the default namespace. Namespacing is still useful.

For one thing, I've found it very useful when folks use syntax like `import numpy as np`, because then when I see `np.foo` I can trace back where `foo` comes from and look up the relevant documentation.

The complaint about `open("foo.txt").readlines()` vs `readlines("foo.txt")` is a red herring IMO, because nothing stops anyone from implementing a generic `readlines()` function in Python that can take a string file name or a file handler object. It's just that nobody really cares enough to because it's a complete non-issue.

There's going to be a trial about this so yeah those excuses do matter, that's going to be hard for them to get their point across being so anti-repair during so many years.

For stolen parts, they could lock the parts if the device is locked, that's a solution against theft to resell parts but again, that's not what's being done either. It's becoming pretty hard to justify their bad practices.
Makes me wonder what changed. Was it a bad deal for employers? Employees? Or did we just collectively decide to stop doing that for no reason?
I think if Mandatin started using pinyin or it could start dominating. The language itself isn't that much more difficult than other languages. You can get used to tones, too. The grammar is actually simpler than in English.

But the sheer number of characters to rote memorize makes it way too inefficient to learn for foreigners, and arguably even for natives, that I don't see it becoming a world language.

There's always the argument that pinyin isn't enough, that the characters are essentially useful. Which I think Vietnamese, which used to be based on the same writing system and is also tonal, proves wrong.

If you can't communicate with pinyin you can't communicate with the language, since it almost perfectly models the sounds.
It's interesting that the token length for Chinese is only slightly longer than for English. What does tokenization of an ideographic language look like, anyway? One token per ideograph? Something else?
I thought those scrapes of the web like The Pile we're only around like 45TB?

While I do feel bad about the kids, I also know that society has normalised taking children away from one parent, often with little to no recourse.

So while I feel bad for the kids, it's no worse than what society has done to million of children, and do to thousands per day, even as I type out this message.

At least her kids will have advantages the other kids don't get.

Boy am I glad I replaced stock firmware with OpenWRT the moment my router came out of box last week. It was also extremely painless experience, and I'd really recommend people to buy routers with OpenWRT support, even if they cost a little more. A router is something you buy for a decade or more, and it's worth the investment. Our livelihood depends on network availability, and depending on whims of terrible router firmware is not something to rely on.
What if the assets are a list of URLs computed incrementally? In my app's case, the specific JS bundle variant to load is itself a result of a database query. It's easy to see many scenarios where the majority of assets (e.g. say photos) aren't known prior to building the response body
