Much more likely, parents (and anyone else) don't think about you nearly as much as you think they do. Probably don't think of you at all. And they probably look at their kids as something they love and makes their live much richer, not a "status symbol."
Not the government's problem to solve, and tech firms can easily solve that by changing how their encryption works (e.g. using secure enclaves, or remote attestation).

Yep, that all sounds quite familiar, definitely not just your company, it's characteristic of trying to monkey-patch whatever management can point a finger at, because that's what they're rewarded for, and that's what their manager is rewarded for.

No word of a lie, I ran into a colleague from the first company I saw this problem at (and was fired from) years later when I happened to revisit a restaurant I liked in the area. I asked him if he still worked there, and he laughed. Said that they eventually fired the entire department and he stayed on just as a consultant for a bit. Which is odd, because although I was a naive early-twenties kid at the time, I could tell everyone else in that department was quite good at their jobs.
Anything Nikon from the F3 onwards, F4's seem to be a tad cheaper, is a good choice. Great cameras, hell the F4 was revolutionary at its time, and they work with all F-mount lenses. As do all Nikon DSLRs, and those lenses, especially some manual focus ones, are quite cheap despite being optically marvelous.

Same goes for Canon, but there lens compatability for older models is more limited. Added added benefit: The F4 works with G-versionen lenses, if memory works well, and those work great with the z-mount lenses using the adaptor. Additional added benefit: Fujifilm cameras work great with f-mount and an adapter as well.

Invest in lenses, not cameras.
And here's the political angle. Letting a bunch of insecure iot devices into your home actually harms other people by allowing your devices to enable subsequent exploits of your neighbors, both on the next block over as well as the next country over.

Therefore iot devices most certainly should be regulated as this is a critical issue for the public good as well as national security.

It's going to be stronger for people living in that region of the world. Think about people living within a 5 hour flight from Dubai -

Significantly higher quality of life, fair salaries and labor laws (if you're comparing to the west, you're missing the point, these are things not found in many peoples home countries whatsoever), ample shopping/leisure opportunities, incredible winter weather, good schools, good healthcare, lack of widespread corruption, connectivity to every part of the planet. Most importantly, if you can afford the ticket to Dubai, you'll likely get the visa without much hassle, getting visas to any developed country from this part of the world is a bureaucratic complicated exercise that nobody from a western country would understand, which means that even if you can get the visa, your family can't. But in Dubai, you have a good level of confidence your family will get visas if you can.

The images from my A1200 are on a very customized OS 3.2/CoffinOS (legally "dubious" AmigaOS distribution favoured by Vampire accelerator users) hybrid system with Faenza PNG icons. But if you have a graphics card (or emulate one in e.g. WinUAE), you can run in high resolutions/bit depths like this. The X5000 screenshots are on a QHD 24-bit resolution as the X5000 is a far more modern machine and has a hardware-accelerated compositor and 3D stack running on a Radeon PCIe card.

I just don't agree with this at all. I specifically avoid all smart plugs that don't have a UL mark (or European equivalent mark).

It's impossible to say that consumers don't care about a specific certification before it exists based on their existing behavior. Consumers _do not have any ability_ to distinguish on this axis at the moment. So, we can't say: "based on their behavior they don't care". They very well might, and just don't have the information necessary to tell.
A depressing number of customers don’t even tip anyway so I can understand a driver not caring.

Sure, and this is why I utterly refuse to buy Apple hardware (note - I'm still forced to use Apple hardware by my place of employment... sort of making my point).

It's also why I've chosen to do things like selfhost my own services, run my own computing hardware (literally sitting in my basement), contribute to and fund open source initiatives, and continue arguing that the government should regulate this behavior.

Because frankly... I agree with you: it's a highly successful paradigm. If left alone and unregulated, companies that don't abuse their customers in this manner will become less and less prevalent.

I call it "the little green man" paradigm: They have a literal enforcer sitting inside your phone who only answers to them. They use that little green man to extort rent from you for services and goods that shouldn't require any sort of ongoing or recurring expense, but will... because rents * * cough * * excuse me, "subscriptions" are just wonderfully profitable.

I'm just not an optimist on this front.
Thanks!

In terms of matching the simplicity of Heroku, I feel like Render is probably the closest thing to it.

The author's mastodon account has a couple of examples of the creation process if you go back through their post history a bit. It seems they used Blender for everything (as far as I can tell).

They also posted a lot about the entire process at blenderartists.org, and have apparently been working on this since February 2022!

IOT security is funny. Secure ways of deploying things exists today, but retrofitting existing systems would be impossible if the devices don’t support it ? Also, updating a running system… seems like a very costly and time consuming exercise.
This looks cool!

Asking seriously without any intention of being demeaning this looks like a great project, new alternatives are always welcome!

Doesn't git solve all of these issues other than "not creating the project first"?

For example github pages offers version control, custom domains, asset hosting, https, deployment with a similar type of command "git push"?
Tutoring makes sense, arithmetics doesn't. Instead, what you want, is to include something like "If you need to evaluate formulas, embed them in a Markdown code block with the language set to 'math' which will be executed for you, and the results will be provided as the next message" to the system prompt, and write code around it to handle the execution.

Simplified example:

> system-prompt message

> user message: teach me linear algebra

> assistant: Sure, here's how [...] ```math 1 + 1```

> user message (but generated by application): ```1 + 1 = 2```

> assistant: and since 1 + 1 = 2, [...]

LLMs are great at generating text, but not at math, so make something else do the math for the LLM and then it can focus on what it does best.
N-way mirrors also have the property that ZFS can shard reads across them, which mattered a lot on spinning rust, since iops can be limited.
Doesn't Hetzner storage boxes also have lower redundancy guarantees? It's been a while since I've looked, so not sure - it's not obvious from their ordering page. They're great either way, though, especially given the "unlimited" egress.

I believe the regulation applies to such a device you make as well, not specifically consumer Wi-Fi products. I.e. if you make a transmitting SDR it's not supposed to allow certain things.

The prevention all comes down to enforcement though, the law doesn't physically stop you from making a device it just means you could get in trouble for intentionally ignoring it and selling a lot of those devices.
Not saying this is what’s happening here, but this is a typical way in which corrupt government/politicians make bank

They sell hugely valuable public assets to some private entity, which then sells it back (or lease or rent) to the government over the years, at a huge premium

There are usually some kickbacks, and/or indirect ownership through partners/shell companies involved

> honestly I would not consider the entire context window to be part of a single event, since the model generates tokens one at a time, separately.

OK but traditional small language model Markov chains have context windows too, and they also generate tokens one at a time, separately. Maybe you are arguing that there is a qualitative difference between an eight token context window and an eight thousand token context window. I guess that would be fair enough.
> our predecessors spent so much time in getting everything 100% correct from the ground up

What predecessors are you talking about here? The internet is barely held together with duct tape and servers running only because of minute by minute injection of WD50 straight into the fan bearings. There is so much cruft everywhere that is being relied on daily in production systems that most people lost count by now on how much horrible code and setups they've seen in the life.

Have you considered a monthly retainer with an hour cap?

This prevents you from being treated like a salaried employee, maintains your work life balance, and ensures the client is still providing solid requirements and thinking through their ideas.

We have found a lot of great success with this model, and our clients respect it. It ensure we can have multiple clients, without one taking up all of our time, and taking it from others.

If we spend under X hours, that's fine. But there's simply a cap. It essentially means that each client gives enough work for us to work for those total number of hours, and we still have MRR regardless. We can help our clients maximize usable time, and it makes our project management valuable to the client as well.

To combat long Net Terms, you can kickoff a client with a project, which begins upon receipt of payment, and is continued with the retainer. This initial project should be able to support you until your retainer payments start (180 days in length) but your retainer should start ASAP.

It also allows the client to see your value, and you get to feel the client out.
10x is for specific body parts, largely due to the (predatory) disfunction of our health care insurance and for-profit care system. Even the x-ray I was required to have before an MRI, due to plate in my arm, was billed higher than your MRI. With that said, there are also private parties (e.g. not through health care provider) that offer full-body MRIs for only a grand or two; well, at least there were a decade or so, when we got one for my FIL.

Ha, per Wikipedia, the Chipknip system here in the Netherlands was based on the same technology. Never knew that it was originally Belgian technology.
There are two aspects of the "difference":

1) The timber that was once a locally (or nearby) grown tree might nowadays be - while the same or very similar species - originating from some other country (with different climate/humidity/etc.) and thus be different at a structural level.

2) The timber was once seasoned over several months or even years time (again locally), while most nowadays is artificially seasoned very quickly (usually in a kiln or autoclave for a few days)

While you cannot do much for #1, except of course choosing the best batch you can find, the #2 (which is actually what makes the larger differences in stability and also strength over time) can sometimes be avoided by buying the wood before it is seasoned and season it yourself naturally (of course you need the space and time needed, for furniture or making of windows/doors seasoning for a couple of years is not uncommon).

The difference between artificially seasoned wood and naturally seasoned is essentially that the latter is more "stable", i.e. it will tend to crack and/or bend/deform much less.
>And since this is HN - there is a startup hidden in the midst of all of this: an enterprise-grade IoT OS that "does security right." Sell to the device manufacturers, allow them to market it as "enterprise-ready" or some such. If the FCC guidelines here are approved, there will be a suddenly increased demand!

Agreed. Building an automatic firmware update system from scratch would be burdensome for many IoT makers, but as it becomes necessary or encouraged, we would expect the market to provide a packaged solution/framework that manufacturers could fold into their products. It would be really helpful have to discussion of this on the record. How generalizable do you think such a solution could be? We are aware of the Uptane project, an OTA firmware update framework being jointly worked on by several car manufacturers, but would love to hear more about the feasibility of a solution for IoT devices generally, or particular classes of IoT devices.

That sounds more like papering over the cracks of legacy systems, introducing even more centralisation and power to a handful of unaccountable "hosters", and placing even more responsibilities on maintainers (who may be AWOL).

- Cryptographically-verified, content-addressed storage (e.g. IPFS) is preferable to downloading random EXEs from "github and other code hosters". Indeed, for sources too! (I learned this lesson when Microsoft bought GitHub, and many projects jumped ship; that caused an outbreak of 404s for anything that was hard-coding github.com URLs!)

- Rather than relying on someone else having produced opaque blobs for us, it's better for everyone to be capable of building things, if needed. Nix (and Guix) are good for this, since they're source-based, ensuring that the full build instructions are available (they will automatically download binaries, if available and signed by a trusted key; but the option of building ourselves is always there). This is also crucial if we want to validate those binaries for ourselves (I recall the "trustix" project is trying to crowd-source such validation too)

- Another advantage of the Nix/Guix approach is that build instructions can be parameterised, e.g. by the source. This allows anyone to plug in any version of the code they like (whether a git commit, or a local folder, or an IPFS URL, etc.). Again, if someone else has already built that combination (and someone we trust has signed it) then their existing binary will be fetched.

This sort of approach doesn't require any buy-in from hosting platforms, maintainers, DNS authorities, etc.
They're proposing an opt-in labeling program that essentially amounts for to the FCC underwriting certain attestations that vendors are choosing to make about their products.

This means that someone applying the label without meeting the standards the label indicates would be guilty of exactly the sort of fraudulent advertising you're describing, and contract and tort law are the relevant mechanisms of enforcement for this.

I'm not sure what you mean by enforcement efforts being "whack-a-mole at best", but if you're expecting some sort of preemptive regulatory barrier to be enforced by a bureaucratic agency in advance, that's just not the way this sort of thing works or is intended to work, and the FCC certainly wouldn't have the legal authority to implement such a regime.

Legal actions for fraud, false advertising, trademark infringement (in the case of trademarked standards certification badges, e.g. UL) are frequently used mechanisms for this sort of thing, and seem to work well enough to ensure that vendors are deterred from fraudulently applying certification labels to their products.
It’s insane to me that “cable theft” is even considered a criminal offense… it’s literally a civil dispute between a corporation and a person, about alleged misuse of service, with very little damage outside of theoretically “harming” the profits of the corporation, a notion that quite literally requires assuming an argument ad absurdum.

How stupid does a politician have to be to promote this as a criminal offense? It just denigrates criminal law.

Edit: my bad, it was promoted by Barry fucking Goldwater, a bona fide fascist. So not stupidity, just genuinely evil cruelty.

Well, there are obvious leading contenders like `https://sortablejs.github.io/Sortable/` and, within the `vue` space, `https://sortablejs.github.io/vue.draggable.next/`. Most of the stuff I looked at was unmaintained (lots not updated for vue3).

I really disliked the vuedraggable was handling nesting, and it's just a wrapper around a sortable. At the end of the day, my problem was simple enough that I didn't want a 500kb dependency. If you're wanting to do something like the OP but with nesting, I'd definitely start by looking at Sortable, though (maybe wrapping it the way you want).
Less granular time tracking for both parties.
> The best you can hope for with a regulatory approach is to incentivize them to pay more lip-service to the idea

While I think this is true, there's also some benefit to getting the manufacturer's to pay lip-service to the idea.

In that, it becomes part of the marketing and the sales of the device. Later, consumers can _attempt_ to hold manufacturer's feet to the fire with false advertising and other fraud class action lawsuits.

It's really really not a good system, but even forcing a bit of lip-service is a marginal improvement over what we have now.

> Therefore, the most meaningful step would be to require support for open-source firmware.

I agree that it would absolutely be better, but it sounds like even this voluntary labeling program is the compromise that might be tolerated by the other members of the FCC. I'm guessing such a strong and effective program would be a non-starter with those members.

Which, honestly, tells me a lot about the other members of the FCC, and whose interests they are seeking to serve.
> if you're launching a product, you want to do it as soon as possible, damn the quality of the code

I think this is where I disagree - cutting corners is really not faster. Especially now a days with the tech and libraries we have available, you don't have to overthink or overbuild either. Cutting corners saves no time, and then the startup needs to pivot and can't easily due to the ham strung code.

"Useful tech debt", etc is usually just an excuse for impatient devs or people who aren't very good.
