1. OK, but it's a LAN - who cares. It's either that or you're in self signed cert hell anyway.

2. If that's the case you have major issues going on which are irrelevant to the port chosen

3. On a single IP - so what? Every device can open it's own port 80 on your LAN without any conflict

> Seriously, you want to sell me a lightbulb that needs root access and then opens an unencrypted port and then makes outbound calls...? Are you nuts? That's beyond lazy design. It's almost like an intentional insult.

This doesn't make any sense. Are you talking about a single light bulb or actual orchestration software? Both need to communicate to actually do anything.

> edit] If you set up a home service on your local network, surely you can also bookmark the obscure port number next to the 128/ address in front of it. The only purpose served by turning your light bulbs into a beacon from hell on port 80 would be letting strangers totally penetrate your house.

This also doesn't make any sense. There is no reason a device on your local network listening on port 80 makes it a 'beacon from hell' - because again, listening on LAN & WAN are 2 very different things. And the port it's using has 0 bearing on security.

> What happens if you start up a webserver? Do the lights go off?

Absolutely nothing - because again there is no conflict with different devices on your LAN using the same ports to listen on.

You're mixing up a number of different things here & making issues where there aren't any. A device on your network opening port 80 doesn't magically make it accessible to the world for poking & prodding or result in any conflicts that cause things to stop working.

And when it comes to orchestrators like Home Assistant - you can choose any port you so desire. But changing the port doesn't make it any less or more secure.

Not even slightly true. We (sqlitebrowser.org) host all of our own infrastructure, with a mirror on GitHub for downloads and our source living there due to the Community being there.

Maybe someone can make an online quiz of a bunch of formats and accumulate statistics on how well people can actually tell or if it’s just a bunch of random.
That’s true. You might as well include all of mainland China in cheap to rent but impossible to buy.
Not OP but: AFAIK, in the 80s the "Atari crash" was mostly due to lots of buggy games flooding the market, a perception of video games as being a fad that was over, since home computers were starting to show up. The excess of money from VCs created teams churning low quality games and helped fuel that perception.

Today, bugs and QA issues are sort of "fixable" by online patches. And as for the perception of it being a fad, I think Nintendo showed the market a few years later in 1985 that there was still room for consoles.

EDIT: I remember a few years ago we were talking about the "indiepocalypse", but that didn't really seem to have nowhere near the same impact.
Hacking drones is still on early days with lots of low hanging fruit if you have time and nothing else to think about. However, it is an order of magnitude more dangerous than PCs were back in the 80s and parents may resist the idea.

In the 80s playing with software was more relevant than with hardware. Nowadays I believe it’s the opposite, trades were abandoned and are an huge oportunity.

In the light of all these HN comments, it is obvious that "couple" is not a helpful word, sowing discord even among native speakers, so I'll just keep avoiding it and just use:

- "two" to mean "two" (duh!)

- "a few" for "a small number of but not one" / "two or more but not many"

- "few" or "not many" for "not many"

- "several" for the less specific "two or more, many or not". I'll probably avoid saying "several" for "two" if I can help it though, because I know it might confuse or even annoy some people.

It might help me avoid a couple of annoying issues.

Do you know if there is any particular advantage of Influx over Prometheus for IOT stuff? I also have noticed that Influx is way more popular in that space, but I don’t know whether the reasons are technical or just social (more tutorials, more shared experience, etc).

I for one live in fear of the storm trooper squads that come after you plug your charger into an unattended wall socket.

In my major Northeast US city, there are wall sockets on the outside of most buildings (if you know where to look), on every car of the subway/bus, in public concourses, etc.
Such a product does already exist (with a hand crank).

The buffer battery is needed because phones generally don't like having variable voltage/current to charge from. They normally choose what speed they wish to charge at (depending on charger type), and if they can't draw their desired current and the voltage drops then they stop charging entirely.

Also, humans generally expect a crank to have constant torque. Whereas if you wanted constant charge power, then the faster you crank the easier it gets, and conversely the slower you go the stiffer it gets, which is very unintuitive.

By using a buffer battery, you can solve both problems. And users can choose to crank faster to charge the buffer quicker, which is what humans expect.
Probably, but I also had to manually convert my home directory to btrfs so maybe this is why I remembered ot wrongly? I seem to remember that earlier steamos releases also had ext4 as rootfs, but I can be wrong.

Compressed music had a place, but in 2023, with 5G, unlimited data and streaming services, there's really no reason not to go lossless.

ALAC/FLAC files are pretty small, there's few downsides to going lossless. To be fair, there arent that many upsides either, but you at least skip one recompression step when sending the audio over BT.
It is a huge parasitic company for the industry. Beware they take %15 percent commission from each transaction. I live in Turkey and bought a room through them. There was a problem and I called their call center and it turned out they didn't have a turkish speaking call center staff at this time of the day. I solved the issue with speaking english but this was really unacceptable service for a huge profiting business. Shortly after, Turkish government banned them operating in Turkey. That was a good decision.

Let's go over this one more time:

- Q: Can you hear the difference between CD-quality lossless audio and anything higher fidelity? A: No, no one even has the biological ability to. 44100khz, 16-bit audio can perfectly reproduce audio as far as we can physically tell. The only reason to store anything higher is for production or archiving (that is, for computers to listen to).

- Q: Can you hear the difference between 320kbps MP3 or the equivalent, and CD-quality lossless? A: Yes, this is _theoretically_ possible. However, many well-controlled listening tests have been performed on this subject that all say no, so it's much more likely that you can't, and the burden is on you to prove otherwise with an abundance of evidence.

e.g.:
https://downloads.bbc.co.uk/rd/pubs/whp/whp-pdf-files/WHP384...
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/257068576_Subjectiv...

The listening test linked in the article leads nowhere, I would have liked to see their methodology.
> Americans are not building high speed rails, not because it doesn't bring in the so called value, it is because such investment would threat the interests of those airliners.

Aquiring the rights of way is an enormous undertaking due to rule of law. Getting construction permits is an enormous undertaking due to environmental law. Determining the path and stops is a giant political mess because nobody wants to miss out on being on the rail, but if you let everyone on, it won't be high speed anymore.

The whole thing won't have a lot of return until decades after it begins and only if it offers good comparative utility and value when it's delivered, which depends on the state of roads, air travel, virtual presence, and other things that affect demamd for travel.
Yes, energy is heavy. What's your point?
Maybe use terms you actually feel confident you know? Because as it stands “stockholm” and “gaslighting” makes it sound like you were just going for a grab bag and seeing what would stick.

The mechanism for why the less affluent would be gated off the platform makes sense to me. Your rejoinder that actually there would be “community driven” platforms seems lacking in a mechanism.
genetics isn't that simple. You share genes with people who do have children, and so genes which cause you to somehow benefit others, or even just yourself, are still selected over ones that don't, even if you don't have kids ypurself.

Not that I see how a head trip while dying can be any part of this process, just saying that "pass on your genes" is not all there is to genes.

> It sounds very unlikely and I’m fine with the personal data I have of my company computer being exposed within the context of an investigation and a trial.

Okay, lets talk about something more likely: your communications are not private - when you connect to an https URL you expect that your password is never in the clear.

With most organisations I have worked with/for, they almost always perform MitM on all TLS connections, and it works seamlessly (i.e. without you knowing) because their certificate is on the machine.

Only the very small and/or very poorly-run organisations aren't doing this, because unless they do the MitM, the network tools they use to detect malicious activity on their network cannot do Deep Packet Inspection (tools such as Darktrace).

It's exceedingly unlikely that the password you used to log into your bank account from your work computer is indecipherable to your network operators. It may as well be in the clear within the network.
From an old article published by Puget Systems in 2013 [1]:

> Finally, ECC RAM is slightly slower than non-ECC RAM. Many memory manufacturers say that ECC RAM will be roughly 2% slower than standard RAM due to the additional time it takes for the system to check for any memory errors. To verify this, we examined multiple benchmarks that we run on each system we produce. By using comparable CPUs (For example: Intel Core i7 4771 3.5GHz Quad Core 8MB versus Intel Xeon E3-1275 V3 3.5GHZ Quad Core 8MB) we found that this 2% estimate to be roughly correct. Our own benchmarks showed a performance hit ranging from .72 to 2.2% which, given normal testing deviations, is right in line with the 2% estimate.

…if competently encoded.

You can absolutely hear the difference between a bad MP3 and the original. I used to amuse myself and friends by quite reliably identifying the difference, blinded, using a rather bad pair of speakers.

Actual CD audio can also work quite differently than any encoding, as at least older CD drives had an entirely separate analog output cable that connected to the sound card and bypassed the ATAPI link entirely. Levels wouldn’t even be matched.

That has always been true in some form or fashion though, what you are describing is not a uniquely modern problem. To me the x-factor that makes child rearing especially challenging is lack of a support network. Mobility has made it routine to live hundreds or thousands of miles from your family in a way that did not happen before fairly recently. For most of us, our network consists only of other couples with young children who are all going through the same thing.
Perhaps. I think the context is different though. A series of stupid wars has greatly lowered Americans trust in the military.

I've been thinking about this a bunch. It's weird that we our apps are typesafe in lots of ways and then just hope that some magic string config & env vars are available, and there isn't even a comprehensive list of what our apps expect.

>ChatGPT currently has voice conversations for all paying subs.

Right and Bing has had that for a bit. Worse voices and not hands off but the TTS is also a new model so it's not like switching is out of the question.

>DALL-E 2 has inpainting and outpainting

No one is saying Dalle-3 won't have inpainting/outpainting but there's zero guarantee you will be able to do that from cGPT. You'd think they'd demo that if they were but we'll see.

Paid users have been stuck on 4k context even though the model has more. Bing has been running the longer context model from the beginning with web page/pdf features. Bing also recently introduced "personalized answers" which is just retrieval augmented memory over all your chats, a feature cGPT really should have had by now.
