I feel like it would be pretty tricky on an 18-22mm thick chain without clamping them in some kind of vice. These are nearly impractically heavy (30-40 lbs for a 6' chain), but I have carried them around on my bike sometimes, and will often keep one at the rack at work and one on the rack at home, and haven't seen anyone try to get into them.

I think if a chain that thick wobbles it would just break the angle grinder blade?

People forget that Microsoft tried to go the iOS route and control everything by signing everything from boot to executables which one would only get from the Microsoft app store. This is what spooked Valve into developing Steam Machines and Steam OS; I'm grateful for Proton, but it was necessitated by Microsoft aggressively closed designs.

I would tell my therapist I find it odd that they're voicing their opinions rather than letting me arrive at conclusions on my own.
Sorry but still doesn't hold water. A user accepts risk modifying their vehicle. However, The burden of proof would be on the manufacturer to show that they modified something that had an impact on the automated systems. To my knowledge there's not a single case of an automated tractor or car due to end user modification related to the automated systems that's caused injury. So right now your argument is by and large hypothetical. John Deere and the right to repair will be the proving ground for a end user modifications of personal vehicles.
One of the things that undermines the used furniture market for higher-end furniture is storage. Larger pieces often get stored somewhere for a period before they're sold, but unlike veneered MDF, solid wood pieces are vulnerable to get warped by rapid changes in moisture, particularly if they get temporarily stored in non-climate-controlled storage facilities. I wonder if there's a business opportunity for some kind of efficient middleman that takes high end furniture off people's hands and stores it properly while facilitating resale.
I use gpt4 all day every day for programming and software architecture work, and I know I'm not alone.
I’m not sure about accuracy, but I have noticed that it’s become quite a bit more forgetful. When GPT-4 was new, I could start talking about a technical topic, then drill down into the details and refine / expand upon the subject.

These days, it seems to be a lot more likely to forget key details from earlier in the conversation. We’re not talking about chats that are anywhere near hitting the token limit. I have to keep reminding it about things when I didn’t have to before.
Reducing the precision of the weights from high precision floating points to either lower precision floats or even integers. You'd think it would greatly reduce the performance of a model, but in most cases the decline in quality is extremely tolerable compared to the reduction in memory/processing requirements.
Thanks for this, Nathan. Orphaned devices pose a suite of security problems. They outlast the companies that sell them, the companies that make them, the upstream suppliers of hardware and software, the companies that service and repair them. Smart building devices and power systems can run for decades. Implanted medical devices, home health devices, and hospital systems persist longer than five years and can outlast the corporations behind them.

Please address orphaned products so that security continues with a duty by the maker to sustain safety and security beyond the life of a product or its manufacturer. This is like the requiring a sale-time deposit into an independent fund to reclaim/recycle a product's waste.

Beyond the current proposal, you might require a device's IP to be put in escrow in the event of product or corporate end-of-life, allowing customers or third-parties to take up maintenance and security. (#RightToRepair #EoL)

Does the FCC have any authority over IOT devices? and if so how?

This seems like a massive overreach, how can a body designed to for managing shared spectrum have any authority on devices that use the internet?
Yeah may as well walk 3 miles to the restaurant in 105 degree heat, sounds like a great time.
Kubernetes is a powerful platform. It has become a standard language for building and operating cloud/on-prem infrastructures. It will be the end point for how infrastructure is orchestrated and configured.

However, Kubernetes is more a primitive for infrastructure rather than a tool to build automation workflows for software teams. Our focus is to complement teams that may or may not choose Kubernetes.
// I used to be the person that said "yeah, go have kids" and now I'm "only do it if you're completely sure its what you want" because if you're not it's the children suffering through it.

I think more people are ready to be good parents despite doubts that your post implies. If you are completely broke, drug addicted, violent, etc - then yes you should work on those things first. Otherwise, if you're anything like a mainstream member of society you're probably ready and capable.

I found that my "ability" to be a dad switched the moment the kids arrived. Most of us do our best when the occasion demands it and being a dad elevates what is asked of you in the best of ways. Even things that would seem like nigh mares to a single version of myself (eg: changing diapers), feel totally fine - like I am doing exactly what I should be doing right now.
Don't worry, it almost certainly has nothing to do with that (though there is plenty to complain about with 1.1.1.1).

The origin of Henry Cort’s iron-rolling process: assessing the evidence
Though it generally seems to have gotten worse, I've found it's gotten better at programing in Swift. It used to be really bad, now it's somewhat useable.
From the speech:

> Wi-Fi deauthentication attacks, which can render useless every Wi-Fi network in an area, can be carried out by a single device with a Wi-Fi antenna.

Is the prevention of such attacks within the mandate of the FCC (so long as all other relevant RF parameters are adhered to in the device)? I understood that unlicensed ISM users must not cause interference to licensed users, and they must be tolerant of interference generated by licensed users. I read this logically to conclude that unlicensed users must also be tolerant of interference from unlicensed users. (The opposite conclusion would seem to be infeasible to enforce, if any single unlicensed user could effectively bar the operation of another unlicensed user merely by being unable to tolerate the interference emitted by it.)

A WiFi deauth attack is an attack on unlicensed users of the frequency spectrum.

I'm perfectly happy for the FCC to change the rules, provided they follow the rule-making process in that rule change. If WiFi deauth attacks are to be prevented (and if I'm correct that they are legal-albeit-anti-social now), we should go through a rigorous rule-changing process to ensure that the new rule correctly balances the desire for continued, unlicensed use and the desire for that unlicensed use to be practically useful/usable.

(By the way, I appreciate you engaging the HN community and hope that you're targeting other, similar communities who may have relevant expertise on either technical or policy matters here.)
During my FAANG onboarding training, we actually had a module about how to avoid caste bias and how to detect it in others.

Personally I think it should just default to front-of-building but have a no-charge button to have delivery to the door which drivers can see in advance. Then if they don't want to bother they can skip it, and if people need a delivery to the door they can get that too without having to message and explain. Also gives people the option to add additional information on door codes/where to locate the door inside the apartment etc. Sure some people might abuse the system but I think most people, most of the time, are happy to go and get it from the front of the building.

If you really want you can have the tip automatically set to 15% instead of 10% for door deliveries but allow the user to reduce that if they want, should get around the ADA stuff I assume (but not sure).
> people under 25 from voting unless they pass a civics test

having seen interviews of trump supporters, I think it would be a good idea to require a civics test for everyone. There are way too many people with a tenuous grasp of reality that vote.

then again, "qualification tests" have been used historically to silence marginalized voices so its one of those damned either way situations.
Live API Keys and Source Code Leaked in 4,500 of the Top Alexa Sites
The most important thing to know here is authentication and authorization is based on public-key cryptography (via SSH).

Users create an account by SSH'ing into our server (e.g. `ssh new@pgs.sh`), we record the public-key used to remote into it. Then to use the service you either a) run SSH commands (e.g. `ssh {user}@pgs.sh help`) or copy files to our server (e.g. `scp -r ./public/* {user}@pgs.sh:/my-project`).

Under the hood, we use golang's ssh library to forward files being uploaded to our object storage service, record entries into our postgres database, and then have our web service serve those files.
I'd bet you can get a local handyman to make a bookshelf out of boards and screws if you're concerned about quality. But of course, wood isn't going to cost today what it cost when you were born.
Ikea furniture usually uses these funky cam lock nuts and bolts in particle board pieces, rather than screws:

https://www.furnitureparts.com/products/cam-lock-nuts-ikea-p...

These turn the force into compression over a larger diameter so it's less likely to cause a problem.

I've actually had pretty good experiences with Ikea stuff holding up over time, even across multiple moves.

Personally, when I see authoritarian nations like Russia criminalize dissent, I don't consider it a model to emulate. But it seems many in the West disagree, they think we are falling behind in the repression department and need to catch up ASAP.
What did you do before doordash?
Yeah if companies that make IoT hardware complain about the costs to keep old devices updated then they should be required to make them more user-modifiable and release source code / signing keys when they're abandoned by their manufacturer so that they can be picked up by the communities and development can be continued (also requires some policing to determine when hardware is functionally abandoned, as releasing a minor update once a year that doesn't fix real bugs should still be considered abandoned). Repair cafes would be fantastic for helping support small businesses keeping people's old hardware running.

Of course, manufacturers don't want that either because they make money off of planned obsolescence and consumers keeping old hardware running makes them less likely to buy old hardware.
1000 years is a loooong time. It's entirely plausible to have trillions of humans, if we create conditions for that. And not only on Earth.

For that to happen we need almost complete automation, which would provide cheap food, cheap housing, cheap healthcare, and lack of worry about the immediate future.

Even if you can sustain 1% increase in population per year, 1000 years of prosperity will result in

(8 billion)*(1.01^1000) = 167673 billion = 167 trillion people

(1% is roughly the current population growth, but it's slowing down)
The 6 week wait isn't because of a lack of helium. It's for lack of money to fund the MRI to begin with. It's easy to point to lack of helium when really the cost of an MRI machine is expensive. The rare earth magnets alone of which are a greater scarcity than helium. My point is that it's more than just helium scarcity for not getting easy access to MRIs.
Mmm, chipboard. Could as well be called "cheapboard". Low quality at low cost so you can pay twice.
What would you say is drastic? In each of these regions, I've noticed different architecture, different cuisine, different accents, different social expectations, different political values that are widely accepted, different popular activities for leisure, different distributions of spoken languages...

I haven't actual been outside of the US myself so I don't have a frame of reference for that, but different regions in the US really are quite different from my limited perspective.

Lake Titicaca: The highest navigable lake is drying out – CNN
I remember reading that there was a lot of data storage "left on the table" with floppy drive tech before it was finally abandoned. They apparently stored bits uniformly across the disk instead of more densely at the edges where distance between the points was greater. Considering how there was a real missing niche for a denser floppy media for a number of years (that allowed things like zip drives to become somewhat common) I found this idea pretty surprising.
> A company who wants to make entirely their own car can do so and its customers can still drive it on the same roads and buy fuel from the same gas stations.

A company that wants to make their own phone can do that and still use the same wireless providers.

> A company who wants to make mostly their own car and use some parts from another manufacturer can do that too:

A company that wants to make mostly their own phone can get ARM chips and cellular chips and all of the parts from plenty of places all the way up to getting contract manufacturers

> This is the normal operation of a competitive market. Chelsea Truck Company wants their vehicles to be mostly Land Rover so they start with a Land Rover.

So are you saying there is no competition in the phone market and people must buy iPhones even though 80% of the world buy Android phones?

> But Apple interferes with even that. If you wanted to buy iPhones to mod and resell, they stop you from putting your own operating system on it, and their operating system doesn't have drivers for your custom components.

Then fork your own version of AOSP and work with a contract phone manufacturer and sell your own product. Just like 100s of Android resellers do
Congrats on the launch...

tbh, I have tried so many alternatives to this issue (as a Rails dev) and 'til today, I still find the oddest one of the all to be the only one straightforward enough to match the Heroku paradigm, that would be Hatchbox (which only dwells with Rails deployments).

I will give this a shot, but I'm skeptical. Also, I want to thank the Dokku team, since recently I tried a few deployments and while there was hiccups along the way, the platform has improved quite a lot since the last time I tried it.
I'm surprised he didn't mention that it's a glorified Markov chain.
Professional business people are familiar with different business models, and when to apply them.

For instance, hourly billing makes a lot of sense if the scope is vague - the client carries the scope risk.

Fixed price is amazing when the client has a specific, measurable problem that they don’t know how to fix (but you do). You can solve it cheaply, get paid waaay more than hourly and have a happy client.

Being a professional means having multiple tools in your toolbox and knowing how and when to use them. Drafting contracts is all about deciding how the risk will be shared - you need the right risk-sharing model for each situation.

(edit: spelling)

If I may propose an alternative, you could buy the cheapest bookshelf you can find just to have your office organized while you search for a quality one to last decades or centuries :)

Or if you have the time and interest you could even make a makeshift bookshelf instead. There are lots of tutorials on youtube for this.

If parts of the supply chain aren't FLOSS, then manufacturers would have to lean on those suppliers to change their licensing or find different suppliers. Same with other regulations around things like lead in consumer products. Anyone wanting to be part of consumer product software supply chains would have to start offering it as FLOSS if they want any customers, so the supply chain would adjust to the new reality.

We do need to establish common sense liability if it's not already there. If you modify your circular saw to remove the guard and injure yourself, that's your fault. If you modify some software to run outside of safe design parameters and it malfunctions/injures you, that's your fault.

I don't see why zero-trust is incompatible with user-modified devices. In fact it's in line with the spirit of zero-trust: don't assume just because something is able to talk to one of your servers (e.g. because it's on your VPN/LAN) that it's friendly. People should already always be assuming customer-owned hardware will potentially be completely controlled by a malicious actor and acting accordingly.

I’m not sure about that. Its search results were better, but I think the fraction of hits of reasonable quality was higher, too.

Maybe, Google Search had gotten better, but not as fast as its task has gotten harder.
Thanks for your explanation! What I remember is from an Android version more recent than 7, probably 10, but maybe the browser was Firefox so in that case there was no need to have your device rooted.
Do you honestly believe it's snake-oil? I can't believe people still think this, nearly everyone I've talked about it with has been able to find an amazing use for AI now.
I think you're right that it would be difficult for the FCC to precisely define exactly when security updates are required. This is a problem in law generally, one that is usually resolved by imposing a reasonableness standard. Maybe here, a vulnerability needs to be patched if it might reasonably be expected to allow an attacker to take control of a device, or to do so when combined with other known or unknown vulnerabilities. Or maybe a different standard. Then when enforcement/lawsuits come around, the judge/jury/regulator has to evaluate the reasonableness of the manufacturer's actions in light of that standard. We'd love to see commentary on the record as to what the right legal standard might be.

It’s not a tautology. Someone who can’t handle like, using AWS directly, is a junior developer.

Another perspective is the founderese is not very reassuring.

Something these "disruptors" just don't get. They either have to charge too much, pay too little, or often the combo platter of both.

They've increased the number of unique parties involved to four and have removed the possibility of real accountability from all of them. Of course it's a shitshow. Everyone has different incentives and they are often at odds with the incentives of the other parties.
Programming queries in particular have been ruined by SEO on Google. Like, search "longest TEXT in postgres" and enjoy the featured snippet's wildly incorrect answer (65KB) from some cloud whatever platform site, far above Postgres's official docs plainly stating the correct answer (1GB). Also "is kotlin a superset of java," Google's answer is yes according to a random blog.

This crap has even made its way onto Instagram. I've been suggested images of AI-generated figurines resembling Clash of Clans with awkwardly phrased captions about learning to code. "LEARNING: WHAT IS ARRAY" with a picture of an angry lumberjack.
I honestly don’t think we need a government solution to this issue. Consumers who want this security can buy from manufacturers with a reputation at stake such as Amazon or Apple. I don’t want your “help”. Let the market sort it out.
I wonder why you consider it a problem. Mdf and variations are much more stable, don't warp due to humidity. For non-premium furniture it's a perfect choice.

There's the famous Adam Savage quip about "Buy cheap, then if you use it re-buy quality."

Would you rather not have bookcases while you're searching for the perfect one?

Or would you rather have bookcases you aren't thrilled about, while you decide/look for more quality ones?

I'd hazard from the limited information, it might make sense to find the cheapest thing you can't push over, ASAP. Rip the band-aid off.

This has been how I've largely addressed the missing middle issue for myself— I'm not up for $2000+ pieces, but when I want to do better than flat-pack trash, getting something for $300-500 second hand seems like a solid way to go.
I think it is reasonable for a company to start OSS and then change its license. But it indeed feels like a rugpull for all the contributors.

That is why OpenTF is on its way to CNCF. To ensure it stays OSS forever.

There is a difference between "true OSS" like K8s, OPA, etc and "temporary OSS" (backed by a company) like what Terraform used to be, Pulumi, GitLab ,etc. Those can be changed in the future.

When developers chose OSS, they should consider if it is a CNCF OSS or a vendor backed OSS. What Hashi did is an important example.

Billing hourly is bad, but you don't have to give up time & materials billing altogether. Just charge a day rate, or a weekly rate.
