Besides the things in my first post, yes. It's better than what it replaced. The Tizen OS is a bit clunky, but if you hook it to something else (I'm using a Mac mini), you can avoid Tizen.

The TV helpfully turns on to the last selected input. It starts up fast, and one of my favorite points is that the screen bezel has no branding on it, and the connectbox has discrete branding. The remote is radio not IR, meaning you can hide the connectbox entirely out of sight.

Fair warning: Using Art Mode will require the TV to have internet access and the app to be set up. Out of the box, "Art Mode" works, but only with one stock image.

I precisely wanted a Frame because the TV is placed in a very bright room on a wall directly opposite a huge south-facing window. A screen with any glossiness acts like a mirror in the daytime, making it painful to watch TV when the sun is out. With the Frame's matte screen, it is GREAT for this use case, a major step up from what it replaced.

I mounted it on a VESA arm. One very annoying design decision is that they placed the connector on the back of the TV in the dead center, meaning any VESA mount will block the connector. You can work around this, but it means you have to plug in the TV before mounting. This won't be a problem if you're using the flush mount that comes with the TV.

Planiverse was one of my favorite books in my teenage years, and by chance last week I started reading it again. What a coincidence to see the author's name on HN front page today. May he rest in peace, his mind influenced many of us.

I love the concept of the story, that something life-like can emerge from computer software, and the illustrations in the book are wonderful. I also like that the author included a kind of mystical or metaphysical point - similar to Flatland - about our own existence and reaching for what's beyond it.

> is there something like it out there?

Somewhat in the same direction is "Lenia - Biology of Artificial Life".

> We report a new system of artificial life called Lenia (from Latin lenis "smooth"), a two-dimensional cellular automaton with continuous space-time-state and generalized local rule. Computer simulations show that Lenia supports a great diversity of complex autonomous patterns or "lifeforms" bearing resemblance to real-world microscopic organisms.

I saw a job posting for Aha! which bills itself as #1 product development software. It seems to be a mashup of a Gantt chart, web forums, virtual sticky notes, document database and a Kanban looking board, and they mention "AI" near the bottom.

I'm not against it but the whole thing does look quite anti-Agile to me, which might not be a bad thing.
As someone who once was an avid Flash user that got put off by Adobe's less then sympathetic pricing strategy, I've been ever since been looking out for a stable 2d animation solution.

I've been looking into Synfig Studio before, but couldn't figure out how to use it in the small pockets of free time I have.

I'm testing Friction out now, and I'm quite impressed!

Most controls and menus feel pretty familiar, based on some other software like InkScape, and it seems pretty stable.

It took me a while to figure out how to "add keyframes", which it turns out you don't do explicitly, but rather move around on the timeline, and then select various properties in the scene menu to the left of the timeline, and change the value of said property. Then a keyframe for that combination of object/property and time-point will be implicitly created.
It was made for quite awhile; they show up on eBay and thrift stores quite often.

Why would you expect them to suppress things in exactly the same way? Things are vastly different right now.

> They didn't have to worry about dying from measles or being crippled with polio, and medical outcomes are much better nowadays across the board.

Funny you should mention, measles is back, and worldwide fatalities is on the rise. And are you suggesting that US healthcare has improved in the last couple decades? Antivax efforts have made the possibility of a return of endemic polio possible since folks travel, and it's not extinct. Measles was on its way to extinction in the 1990s, but after Wakefield's fraudulent study and the partisan politicization of disease, a host of diseases we never had to worry about anymore are popping back up again. As child vaccination rates continue to drop, we will see it all again.

The adults by and large have all been vaccinated. The kids however are being treated like guinea pigs in an ideological experiment where the losers are the kids themselves.

And as a child of the 70s and 80s, yes, I personally remember the ever-present threat of nuclear war growing up. I also remember the teen suicide rate being abnormally high due to it. Kinda like the rise we see today. It takes its toll, and doesn't at all mean they're "soft".

I would argue this ability drops precipitously as the complexity grows. That's part of the reason cost and schedule estimates are notoriously unreliable on big projects.

Have you ever interacted with a volunteer organization?

Postgres <> Firebase

Does not compute, aka what are you saying?
Yes, absolutely. The main differences are

1. Celest is fully managed and does not require any knowledge of the cloud. With Serverpod, you must have a cloud account and manage your own infrastructure.

2. In Celest, all of your backend and infrastructure logic is defined solely in Dart. This differs from Serverpod which incorporates technologies like Docker, Terraform, and YAML to define your backend.

There are similarities too. Celest will auto-generate a client library for you like Serverpod and provides a local development environment. Uniquely, though, Celest supports hot reload for your backend ;-)
A friend of mine, who is transgender (this matters here), tried to get their pilots license. Initial paperwork was fine... UNTIL they get to the require mental health disclosure.

Basically, this person was born with the "wrong" genitalia. Frankly, it doesnt matter. But you have to go through mental health counseling for sex change operations. Which, given the changes it does to a human body, needs to make sure they understand it. I get this and it sounds reasonable and sane (this needs to be a well thought out change, and not just some whim).

But then, the FAA sees "mental health" listed, and they assume that you're wacko who's going to crash a plane full of people, or go full-on 9/11. Doesnt matter that its over a sex change to be in parity with what your brain is. You're a nutter.

They took 5 years getting the requisite "im not insane" paperwork from all the doctor etc. It was such a waste of time and money on everyone's part.

This whole debacle also is why pilots REFUSE to get mental health help, because getting it an lying is a federal crime. So the better answer is to never get it, go full burnout city, and hope nothing bad happens. Doubly so if you're a man - the FAA expects women to get mental health before a man does. If a man does, you're seen as suicidal/homicidal and defective. But to be fair, trans is viewed as even worse by the FAA.

Normalize mental health, for everyone. There's NOTHING bad about getting help. A little bit of help now solves a bigger problem later.
As a pilot, yes, your conclusion is correct - it’s widely known “tribal” knowledge among most American pilots that any reporting on the FAA medical certificate application is ammunition that the FAA can then use to probe for additional information, request further medical tests/notes (which, by the way, likely have to be paid out of pocket), or outright deny the medical certificate, effectively grounding them indefinitely. Appealing that process is long, arduous, and filled with many headaches.

With that said, the application for a medical certificate is a federal form, and willingly lying/omitting information on it is a felony - the FAA has also been known to pull medical records where they can - typically for veterans receiving VA benefits (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/08/27/faa-pilot...) - pilots don’t want to get caught in a lie, so many just outright don’t seek treatment for some conditions - particularly mental health ones.

I see this panel ruling as a positive thing because it’s one less thing pilots have to worry about when applying for a medical certificate - knowing they can see a therapist without fearing potential ramifications (because it won’t have to be reported to the FAA in the first place) is a huge step in de-stigmatizing mental health conditions in aviation.
Modern keyboards shouldn't still be designed to minimize typewriter jamming; they should instead be designed to be comfortable to use. I switched to a split (because I have two hands), columnar (because my fingers do not angle to the left), Dvorak (because most of my typing is English-like) layout, and my hand and back (!) comfort has greatly improved.

Funnily enough though, even with all that, I still have a caps lock key. It's on my thumb cluster, and it doubles as my Alt key if I hold it. I use it for caps lock probably a few times a week. I get not putting caps lock where it commonly is on keyboards nowadays (I have control where it commonly is too), but I actually don't agree with getting rid of it entirely.
> But only native-born US citizens are eligible for some jobs, e.g. in the military.

There are exactly two jobs where that is required, and only one is kind-of in the military, in that it is legally the apex of all military chains of command.

(There are other security-related, especially in the military, jobs where actual or potential dual citizens, the latter more commonly being an issue when people have foreign born parents, may be required to renounce any other citizenship than American.)

It is absolutely discrimination, but legal (and legally-mandatory) discrimination. That it may be “common sense” does not change that it is, absolutely, discrimination.
sure have. my cousin is a personal trainer who ran a gym studio from his garage. Was in great external physical shape. And his house reeked of mold. Absolutely insanely smelly. My wife warned him for years because she's sensitive to the odor, and he just completely refused to accept that there was mold in the house or that it was a problem or that there was any smell at all.

he was later found to have stage2 cancer.

just because he looked good, was he ACTUALLY good?

no. sleep apnea. aching joints. a random bout of shingles at the age of 39. the list of "things" goes on, and most people have lists like this that they refuse to examine or consider as building blocks of a potentially encroaching larger issue.

again, because of fear.
> What can be learned here and improve?

- which firewalling setups would still prevent that exploit from working (like whitelisting IP addresses or blocks allowed to SSH in or, drumroll..., port-knocking).

I don't use port-knocking but now I really wonder what's going to be the argument against port-knocking. Is it really security theatre in the fact of the rube-goldberg too-big-to-ever-be-secure systemd, loading totally unrelated code for a freaking ssh server? This method of operating was just proved to be a security nightmare. And people who are using port-knocking (or IP whitelisting) were/are totally fine versus these kinds of exploits.

So, yup, today I really want to read what people dismissing port-knocking as security theatre have to say (even though I, myself, don't use port-knocking: but I do use IP whitelisting in firewall rules to decide which IPs can SSH in).

An M2 ultra with 192 gb isn't cheap, did you have it lying around for whatever reason or do you have some very solid business case for running the model locally/on prem like that?

Or maybe I'm just working in cash poor environments...

Edit: also, can you do training / finetuning on an m2 like that?
I think you are basically correct: the answer is usually boring technology. That should be everybody's default, and you should have to demonstrate why that is inappropriate on a case-by-case basis. But you should have to demonstrate it to a very skeptical and knowledgeable audience, who will probably roll their eyes when you talk about all the advantages of whatever eight month old technology you are excited to use. If the argument relies on phrases like "look at how many stars it has on github", or "here's a blog post about how great it works", or "big companies use it ... on some brochure sites" then it should not pass the filter.
Show HN: I just made my profitable online form builder open-sourced
Would it matter? There would be waves of jackasses storing information in them with access granted to anyone, anywhere, because sec is a bother.
Tor is great at busting through NATs, if you set it up in advance.

I'll often set up a hidden service on a machine, so I can SSH into it, fix port forwarding, and figure out what IP it currently has.
Depending on the clients' complexity and needs, I like to structure the work as:

Tier 1 (just need a basic site):
Use the built-in website builders from their domain provider or hosted static site generators, like GoDaddy, Github Pages, etc.

Tier 2 (need plugins or ecommerce):
If they require some more functionality like email lists or selling products then use services like Wordpress, Squarespace, or Shopify to build their site.

Tier 3 (extra data complexity):
For sites that have more structured data that is not satisfied with tier 2, then use something like Webflow or Framer. These allow you to add more data types and categories to build unique pages.

Tier 4 (custom app)
If they are building something unique that is complicated to build with the previous tiers, then my preferred stack to use is Django, Django Rest Framework, HTMX, Tailwind. Django-cms or Wagtail are also proven CMS to help build their site.

You should also consider serverless apps like Google Cloud Run or AWS Fargate so you don't worry too much about the infrastructure unless it is absolutely necessary to roll your own.

Tier 5 (a little bit of everything):
Combine tiers with subdomains. For example, build their blog or marketing site on webflow, but have a custom API or an authenticated interface with a Django/DRF backend.

Ultimately, you need to see what level of technology your client is comfortable with and how you want to leave the project as your contract ends. Don't try to build a overtly complicated system that will give you more headaches later when the client calls on you again.
I think this is precisely the type of advice that's needed for large organizations. They can easily get mired in all the complexity and managing launches by headlines can (1) simply paint the vision of the future for the teams that are building, (2) simply communicate to leadership what is launching and when so they can a) not block and, better yet b) help unblock and even accelerate.
I never used a C64. What is the difference between shift and caps? Symbol usage?
You can use it and it's a good idea, although it's meant to stop exploits rather than deliberate backdoors.

The idea is that the library starts a separate thread to do any complex operation and then waits for it in the API call the user code made. The thread landlocks itself and then begins the operation. If something goes wrong the code is confined.

Of course in this case it doesn't work because the sandbox is controlled by the attacker, so they can just turn it off or make it weaker than it should be. But you can also do things other ways.
