I am fairly certain that the academic open source community had already published prior art for delay correction and volume control of speaker groups (which are obvious problems when you add multiple speakers to a system with transmission delay). IIRC there was a microsoft research blog post with a list of open source references for distributed audio from prior to 2006 for certain. (Which further invalidates the patent claims in question).

Before they locked Chromecast protocol down, it was easy to push audio from a linux pulseaudio sound server to Chromecast device(s).

The patchbay interface in soundsync looks neat. Also patch bay interfaces: BespokeSynth, HoustonPatchBay, RaySession, patchance, org.pipewire.helvum (GTK), easyeffects (GTK4 + GStreamer), https://github.com/BespokeSynth/BespokeSynth/issues/1614#iss...

pipewire handles audio and video streams. soundsync with video would be cool too.

FWIU Matter Casting is an open protocol which device vendors could implement.

Find some friends outside of work. Go to some meetup groups that look interesting, although it can take a while to find one with a good group that you really resonate with (I just found one after a long string of duds, that go to movies and dinner afterwards). Make sure you keep going to meetups for any groups you like.

Join some Discord groups, maybe you'll find one with people you can befriend. I got lucky with one that play a lot of board games online, which I also enjoy doing. And the movie group now has a discord too.

If nothing else, I find I can dull the loneliness a bit (when I have it) by having Youtube or Twitch in the background sometimes.

There's GlobalKnownHostsFile and UserKnownHostsFile. The global known hosts file is usually stored in /etc/ssh, linux distributions could store common ssh host keys in there.
fair criticism--I should be more specific than just "green".

our first model will still be a gasoline ICE airplane, but we are building a limited number of them to get our tech out there and get a new wave of people excited about GA. out future aircraft will be able to utilize our fly-by-wire/simplified controls to fly more aerodynamically efficient airframes that will use less energy, whatever that source is. We can do this because these airframes would be too unstable for a human to fly by hand, hence the need for fly-by-wire/simplified controls in the loop.

today, we don't have a good alternative to ICE for airplanes that also meets the mission profile of the vehicle. I personally think hybrid electric is at least the next step, with hydrogen (though that has it's own challenges) coming after.

> runs Android TV, has a usable remote

You haven't been left behind. You've already made the transition.

In the old paradigm, the Chromecast was not the starting point for TV watching. Some other device, typically a smartphone, was. That's why the old Chromecasts did not include a remote control or have a home screen.

In the new paradigm, the Chromecast is the starting point. It has a remote. You can install apps on it, and it has a home screen to launch them from.

The first device of the new paradigm was still called a Chromecast, even though casting was no longer the core functionality. Now the brand is being made more consistent with what the devices in the new paradigm actually do.
No wonder I suck at marketing. Thanks for the feedback, though.

> Sentry's pricing plan has never gone from 10k errors straight to "negotiated enterprise deal"

OK, maybe not, but, on the current version of https://sentry.io/pricing/:

Developer (free): 5K errors

Team (US$312/user/year): 50K errors

Business (US$960/user/year): 50K errors

Enterprise (who knows): who knows

So, they now go from 50K (which sounds close enough to '10K 5-or-so years ago', right?) errors to "negotiated enterprise deal", and I have no idea whether that's worth it?

Do they coalesce errors these days? Again: I would love to use services like these, and I even don't mind getting a customized pricing plan, except that nobody like, ever, seems to want to talk about even the most basic details?

"Just give us your credit card number, and we'll see what happens, we'll make it work"... Right! But, but by any means, go and complain on HN that's it impossible to get paying customers...
I wouldn't expect much performance difference here:

> Although the specifications for the MT8696 haven’t been published by MediaTek anywhere online, Amazon [which also used it in the past] says that the MT8696(T) variant of the chipset in the 2nd Gen model features a quad-core CPU clocked at up to 2.0GHz. The core design is ARM’s Cortex-A55

> The 2020 Chromecast with Google TV (4K) utilized Amlogic’s S905X3 SoC with four ARM Cortex-A55 cores clocked at up to 1.9GHz

Source: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41171393

So both use 4 x Cortex-A55. The alleged "22% faster CPU performance" does sound strange, as the maximum clock speed is merely ~5% higher. Though it does have more RAM (4 GB instead of 2 GB).

They could have used a more recent SoC instead of the Mediatek from 2021, which would have been more efficient, but also more expensive. Making it a box instead of a dongle could also be motivated by better audio recording ability (for AI assistants), perhaps.

Literally no-one in this thread is talking about "removing responsibility", except you.

> I'm so glad ... in the field.

I don't know which demon you're trying beat back here, nor why.

> It's Dell's fault - not ...

That it is Dell's fault is not under question, but it also does not automatically absolve the speaker manufacturer or the subcontractor. Hold on, isn't that exactly the drum you've been trying to beat here?

You and I have no idea what actually went down. Maybe the speaker was wrongly rated as being able to take a higher current than it actually could. Or maybe there was a bug in the driver. Either would make someone other than Dell also responsible for the failure.

And that's what we've been trying to tell you. That responsibility is shared.
> Especially since there is no way to mark a function pointer as noexcept.

There is, noexcept is part of the type since C++17. In fact, I prefer noexcept function pointer parameters for C library wrappers, as I don't expect most libraries written in C to deal with stack unwinding at all.

My comments were not intended to insinuate that farmers were not physically capable of producing food without glyphosate.

Clearly, a farmer is not going to work for a loss, so the context of what is possible (from the farmer’s perspective) is assumed to be within the existing business and political environment.

Which is obviously that not using glyphosate makes your product priced too high.

Because delivery rates through self-hosted SMTP are lower than through commercial e-mail delivery services; the latter being close to unity[1] and the former ranging from near-zero to about 7/8 depending on how much work and time you put into doing things.

Wow I didn't know that. I will definitely try it! Thx!
Heh, no worries. I thought "Mac Rectangle" was going to be something completely unknown to me, despite using RectangleApp daily.
Right. We usually recommend a single key per client device (laptop, desktop, etc), because that way you can rotate that key if it gets lost/stolen without changing your other devices as well. This way, those private keys stay totally local to the device and never actually need to move, which is much safer. (I work at Userify.)

Maybe it is time to start a OpenCast project!
This is self hosted. I think we'd all accept that a "self hosted Stripe" that obviously had to offload payment processing to a third party gateway could still be self hosted because the platform is, not every dependency. Volume email is not something you should be looking to 'self host' and would leave the product dead on arrival if it did.

It feels like pedantry to critique that aspect so heavily over spirit v letter.
Yes, this approach works on other platforms too. However I believe that this will not deallocate stack space, while stacker will.

From what I could tell, the 'standard' for reasonable commute measures from the employee's home, not from the original location to the other. But the federal WARN info says 'reasonable' varies by locale, and didn't offer any specifics.

Moving the office is probably neutral or better for people on the Penisula. And may be neutral for parts of the East Bay. Depends on where exactly in San Jose the new office is too.

Also, I was surprised by how light traffic was when I drove from Mountain View to SF last October during what I was expecting to be the morning rush hour. I don't recall what the reverse direction looked like, though.

But my point was kind of to raise the likelyhood that this action was taken without regard for how it looks, and without regard for required notifications.

There's an interesting dynamic here--we (the industry today) are more okay with flying rickety airplanes from the 70s before flying something built with more modern engineering and production techniques.

> As I understand it the idea here is to expand the market and spread certification costs out over more planes.

exactly.

> There are not enough people interested in a personal airplane at any price to support the costs to bring a new one in the air.

our thesis is that this isn't true. we've seen glimpses of this in the past 10 years that haven't been successful, but have shown that there is a wave of people who would get into GA if it were safer and more affordable. our mission to make it so, and the Airhart Sling is just the first step

This speaks more to the inefficacy of the solution than the uniqueness of the problem to SF. Their problems are not unique, but as you pointed out, maybe the inefficacy of their solution is.
The product page on the Google Store[1] calls out “Enjoy content from compatible apps on your phone, tablet, or laptop and cast right to your TV.”, so it seems clear that it will still support the Cast protocol.
Are you seriously implying that the gallium inside a laptop, sandwiched between the CPU and heatsink, is going to not only leak out of the laptop (most likely rendering the laptop nonfunctional in the process), but also manage to find its way to the airframe, in quantities sufficient to cause meaningful damage?
I agree, to be honest. I think it would be interesting to do an mdb2 with all the power but a more modern sensibility.

Russia gains more population from occupying the remaining parts of Donbas than they lost from the whole war. As for the resources they now confirmed that the world would continue to buy the oil from them for the next 10 years no matter what. That will provide them with enough profit to rebuild.

So until the West starts helping Ukraine for real instead of giving barely enough for Ukraine not ti collapse, I do not see how what Russia is doing is stupid.

Yes, my mistake was in confusion a run-time question "will it throw?" with "can it throw in theory?". The latter if I'm not mistaken again only requires a throw statement somewhere in a non-dead code, which is totally possible to find out for a code compiler could see.

Didn't Firefox come before Chrome?
Yeah, I just think that is a strange standard for "harm". I dont think anyone would be harmed if they refused to serve anyone and every employee was idle. What if they dont want to double the number of customers and care more about something else.

I think it is best to approach interactions without entitlement. They dont owe you service, and can choose on which terms they will engage.

Your concept of harm reminds me of how some people think they are "harmed" if someone doesn't want to date them, becoming angry and aggressive.
True, that would have worked as well. Plenty of ways to do it.
I agree!

People should generate at least a single ssh key per client device. (On Userify, rotating your key is just a matter of pasting the new public key into your keybox in your dashboard.) One per client device will let you revoke/rotate only that key when it's compromised. This also helps keep you from copying the private key somewhere else (which you should never do).

It does look like this wants to be a replacement for ssh-agent/ssh-add; also check out GNU keychain by Daniel Robbins, which is in most distro repos.

(blatant plug - we actually developed Userify for these three use cases, especially on cloud instances with constantly changing IP's)
remember this is Google -- don't worry, they'll be changing the name again in 2-3 years. Probably YouTubeCast or YouTube TV (yes they already have a "YouTube TV" but I wouldn't put it past them to combine/confuse the two things like they've done with Google Pay / GPay / Google Wallet / etc)

Yes but that's really the same as this just in a separate box. Makes total sense to bring it under the same naming tree.

Under Musk's legal theory, advocating for boycotts is illegal.
I think "psuedo-open-source" and "close to Open Source" convey something vastly different. The former implies, by definition, that it's fake Open Source, i.e. what most would call "open-washing." Fair Source was literally created from a CTA to stop open-washing [0]. We can absolutely say that Fair Source is close to Open Source without claiming it is Open Source, because it is close to Open Source if we look at raw user freedoms, and especially if we compare it to the typical understanding of source-available and closed-source. It's helpful to visualize these differences on a gradient. Fair Source is literally on the cusp of Open Source when visualizing that gradient, and even becomes Open Source.

For what I’m working on, I can also use the wrong approaches. Going through my fail often fail fast feedback loop is a lot more efficient with LLMs. Like A LOT more.

Then when I have a bunch of wrong answers, I can give those as context as well to the model and make it avoid those pitfalls. At that point my constraints for the problem are so rigorous that the LLMs lands at the correct solution and frankly writes out the code 100x faster than I would. And I’m an advanced vim user who types at 155 wpm.

not necessarily. Google cannot do this because in their case it is "abuse of market power" ... but if a market participant with a small market share does it it likely isn't "abuse of market power".

antitrust is not about market share, it's about abuse of the power that comes with it.

> this article has unfortunately triggered a mostly negative response from the F-Droid team and some of their community, who seem to take a dismissive stance toward this article rather than bringing relevant counterpoints.

To be fair, their most salient technical critique was the low target API level, which is a deliberate choice made to exclude fewer users from the store. Everything else listed here comes down to the "Trusting Trust" problem that has plagued every free computing platform. F-Droid isn't capable of auditing every app any more than Apple or Google is; holding them to impossible standards isn't constructive.

My counterpoint would be asking what a true solution looks like. The only scenario I can imagine with a "perfect" threat model is one where software repositories don't exist at all, which isn't something anyone wants.
