Yeah, that's definitely an option. I've got an ethernet board for the SE/30, and also for the IIcx, and enough RAM to keep A/UX happy.
Is this your opinion or is there something in ToS ?

GitHub allows private repos, proprietary licenses, and releases explicitly allow publishing a binary, so, why not use github? it's free.
(edited from a different question) It could be interesting to pivot as a layer on top of Supabase ?

Like "we protect / monitor / audit / lock your Supabase instance".

RLS is an easy pitfall there, and it's a database used by a lot of SaaS products.

You wouldn't get the pain of managing clusters, and at the same time, you get the good role, and companies who care about data safety can use it as additional security assurance.
This is a good read. Dr. Blaise Agüera y Arcas was a keynote speaker at https://attend.ieee.org/newera/program/ here in Seattle a week ago but he didn't really get a chance to delve deeply into his position. During his slot there ended up being a lot of back-and-forth about whether AGI truly achieved or just seeing ACI, etc, among the folks from MS, Meta, Google, UW, and even https://www.dia.mil/ rep.
I'm curious what sort of infrastructure this runs on (hardware-wise), as I'd bet it's not some crazy highly-available complicated distributed system that is often glorified in tech companies and even on here.
I fully believe the biological details presented in the videos, sure, but there’s a certain clickbaitiness about them that leaves a bad taste.

The one about genetics seems to force conclusions that are palatable to modern sensibilities. How does Mendel accidentally fudging his results using eugenics prohibit “talk of good genes and bad genes”? There clearly are good and bad genes, this is obvious to anyone. It’s practically the whole point of the olympics to showcase people who have the best genetic prerequisites for their discipline. None of the technical minutiae of inheritance prevent us from breeding better sprinters. In fact we’ve done it with several animals. Whether or not any of this is ethical is not the field of biology’s concern.

The video about cells has a similar problem, where it acts like it wants to invalidate higher levels of abstraction because reality is more complicated. Of course biology doesn’t operate like a designed and manufactured apparatus, but omitting complexities irrelevant to the question at hand is the entire point of making diagrams. Does the thing turn methane into methanol? Yes, it does. There is no problem here. These could be great educational videos if they weren’t strawmanning so hard. This is especially obvious in his carefully designed definition of a machine.

Biology is just stupidly stochastic, but this stuff is akin to “nooooo, systems don’t »prefer« low energy states, they’re not conscious qq”. Like, okay, use a different verb if that makes you happy??
Hmm... I get where you're coming from. But, I'm currently hosting a 2.5MB .dmg file and a 1.6MB video. I wouldn't call that abusing GitHub. I could probably host these files on any free provider (ex. Cloudflare Pages, ...) GitHub provides free private repos and also 1GB free LFS file hosting.

I also have another open source repo with several releases at ~40MB per release.

If the repo starts to get really large, then yes, I should host it somewhere else. But, putting it into perspective, I just released an initial MVP, and the repo size is less than 5MB in total.

Show HN: Encrypted Messages for the Event of Death
A crumb of weed from a used Dutch grinder is still enough for a spliff in the US.
ISIS since the beginning has used Western supporters as spokespersons. They have been identified, located and killed. This is one of the most fiendish uses of AI to make an unidentifiable, thus untargetable spokesperson.
Why would GitHub even care?
Very little reason to take D3 in lower latitudes.
There's no "Linux" TO pre install, since nobody agrees on a standard distro.

Everyone who tries to do that seems to invent their own distro, making fragmentation worse, and now they have to also be distro makers which probably doesn't help costs much.
Yup, this is precisely why I use Linux for work. Windows for me now presents more problems and requires more tweaking and management than Linux. It has for a long time and it just keeps getting worse.

Linux has gotten progressively better and less needy over the years.

Windows today is just as broken and janky as Linux was a decade ago. It's crazy how bad things have gotten.
I also suffer from irregular, unexplained headaches. Someone must be microwaving my apartment complex.
I'm curious what sort of infrastructure this runs on (hardware-wise), as I'd bet it's not some crazy highly-available complicated distributed system that is often glorified in tech companies and even on HN. If so, it would be a great example of "just go do it" rather than spending weeks and months over-engineering for scale that just isn't needed in 99% of cases.
It's answered in the description above.
As far as I can tell there's nothing about GitHub that discourages using it as a place to host releases of proprietary software, it's not as if GitHub itself is floss, why would they impose that requirement on its users?

Check out their acceptable use policy, they are concerned with worse evils than proprietary software: https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/acceptable-use-polici...
It’s the same thing as regular cryptography, I can’t be 100% sure that you signed this message but I can get arbitrarily close, and prohibitively expensive to fake
It seems a trivial issue to tackle at stores - folks should by law give some brief explanation to unexperienced people, and steer them to either less potent strains, or ways to manage small doses easily, for which joints are the worst of the bunch.

Where I live stuff is still illegal in any form including recently banned variants like HHC or THC-P, just like rest of Europe more or less (its improving glacially but it will take at least 2 decades for it to look like where US is now, some places much more if ever). By far the best product I've experienced were vapes from US - you can dose yourself with laser precision if you know what you are doing.

Vapes are great because they minimize the health impact, don't bother anybody around with obnoxious smoke and smell, compared to edibles they are +-instant and trip ain't endless neither (unless you make it so), you can microdose with 1 small puff if you want. It could be 100% THC and I still won't get more into me than I want. For inexperienced though, stuff can get scary very easily.

I recall maybe 10 years ago in Amsterdam I bought 1g of strongest bud they had in that coffee shop, maybe 16% stuff, I asked bartender to roll me one since I had 0 experience nor equipment and I was the only one there, and even with small bit he put in... I had to stop in the middle or I would fall of the bar stool I was sitting on. Suffice to say I am not a beginner in any meaning, but it shocked me how huge the jump in potency it was compared to regular half priced stuff in other coffee shops. I had a girlfriend who got panic mode on something mildly stronger, but she was super sensitive. 2 hits from that and she would end up in ambulance, no doubt.

Still, stuff should be fully legal period. Just education should be better, its not so obvious as ie alcohol potency.
> If you run it on real hardware, you need at least an 80386 with 4MB. I recommend a Pentium class machine (>= 100MHz) with at least 32MB RAM.

This is nostalgic (¬‿¬)

I recall my very first computer was an Intel Pentium I with 16MB of RAM and around 2.5GB of HDD. Nowadays, even the cheapest smartphone would outperform, by far, those machines.
Congrats on launching. Looks promising.
Some people on the other hand enjoy rolling a joint with not so potent content,so that they can modulate - one or two puffs now, another two as the movie starts, maybe some later. To surf the high and not be shot out of existence for two hours. For this, hash is great.
Fair enough. Thanks for answering.

Well, as someone who still lives in stone age (I guess?) I always run headless Linux VM on Windows/macOS and have all my projects/files inside VM so I unfortunately don't use your Docker/Kubernetes features, and fast file sharing is a nice to have.

But, you and your team seems to really care about client virtualization on macOS, more so than Apple. So while being a niche, I sincerely hope you may consider this sometimes later.
Yep I agree, one of my last jobs a few years ago was like that - 1 PM for every 2 engineers. The entire time was PMs fighting with each other of scarce development resources, completely toxic culture
Any time I get someone to explain a real world use case they explain the concept of password hashing. Also, the only people who ever talk about "ZKPs" are these obviously non-technical crypto founders - it's possible they think it's a new thing when it's something we deal with everyday as developers.

I can't get anyone to explain how it's different than a password hash other than in these elaborate hypothetical scenarios that don't relate to technology.
This has always been a huge hangup for me with laws in general. If a law isn't clearly spelled out enough to be able to know when I would be in the wrong before I act (or speak), I'm effectively at the whims of the legal system and I can't avoid it.

The idea that two reasonable people can so easily read the examples I gave as hate speech or free expression of opinion feels very wrong. Laws should be much more clear if they are meant to actually serve in the best interests of the public.

Not sure what you mean, are you talking about ER = EPR? I think that's mostly a way of accounting for entanglement between particles, but it doesn't create the particles to begin with like in LQG. But my string theory knowledge is probably out of date, so I could be wrong.
If a computer running a probabilistic calculation got it right 90% of the time, and the next one over running the same calculation on identical hardware got it right 10% of the time, there would be something wrong with the computer. This is not true with cells.

I mean, perhaps a kid's free to reject their parents, but would their parents be wrong to experience that as trauma and injustice? Would you begin to consider what you've done to lose her, and take steps to reunite? If you love her daughter and give her a free choice, and she abandons you, what went wrong? Parenthood went according to plan?

Can a child be raised to feel no responsibility or commitment to the parents, and just withdraw that love when it's difficult or inconvenient? I love my baseball team when they're winning, but I don't move out of state when they had a bad season.
> DX that abstracts over where the tenant data actually is

This goes against any of the main items that @jph closed with: COMPLIANCE.

So - abstracting the implementation complexity is difference than abstracting the "where data lives" - especially with Compliant requirements such as SOX and HIPAA, wtc. -- Its been a while but I've done some significant sized HIPAA and SOX, SAS70 and other compliance audits - and one of those reqs is "data retention for ~7 years" in many compliance laws... and so abstracting where data resides no beuno. (Surely you didnt mean that literally?)

I am currently working on am 10DLC compliant SMS routing platform... and so I get to dive back into compliance - and I know already I have to know where all my flows tick KPIs in a way I can visibly and empirically document life-of-a-data

And "Secure, Multi-tenant DB Routing as a Service." might be a better DNA for the tag-line.

Also, I think I recall youre previous HN announcement for the AI scraping?

But - in conjunction with this, it would be great to have a PWA-DB that is my own RLS multi-tenant for my personal data that I own all my records and companies have to subscribe to RLS access to my PII and blacklist all databrokers and scrape for who has my PII so I can actively manage who is accessing any of it - (Using both of your AI Scraper/Crawler tool and some-version of this seems like that could be a reality)

Full stack, back end, front end, infrastructure, database, authn/authz, security, reverse engineering, 3D rendering, low-level / electronics, networking, static analysis, CI/CD etc. Big on type systems (wrote my own for Lua), so have a slight preference for TypeScript.

Salary Expectations: $250k+

15+ years hands-on engineering experience and CTO / Head of Engineering leadership experience. Highly empathetic individual, concerned with UX and DX alike.

At this stage of my career I'm more interested in interesting problems rather than role / title. Big on social impact w/ my most recent roles being in EdTech. Am interested in technically challenging work too, but I do a bit of reverse engineering and open source development in my free time, so slight preference towards providing social value.

Github gives a good idea of my breadth with projects I built ranging from reverse engineered firmware flashing software for Samsung phones to IDEs that bolt static type checking onto Lua. There's more typical stuff like React libraries, tooling and contributions to React, auth libraries (Supabase) etc. If there's a bug blocking my team anywhere in our stack, I'll contribute a fix myself. Plenty of experience building engineering teams/departments, hiring, defining and implementing process and setting up green field projects (CI/CD, tooling etc.)
I disagree that sleep is necessarily unconscious. It’s like a coma — but is the internal world still running? For instance, maybe we are conscious in different phases of sleep but not others.
> icing on the cake: "no boot mode" that fires up a shell prompt in <2s, e.g. based on starting an OS instance that had a snapshot taken _after_ booting up,

That might not be needed - if you're just booting from off to a shell (no GUI, no daemons), on known/static hardware, you can probably just... actually boot in <2s. Consider ex. https://jvns.ca/blog/2021/01/23/firecracker--start-a-vm-in-l... - I can't see where a VM is inherently doing anything real hardware can't.
I think it's security by popularity: You can't be blamed if it's "industry standard". Meanwhile it's 10x less hassle than trying to get people to use an authenticator. Passkeys aren't perfect privacy wise (and everything google touches is suspect), but they are easy.
How do you support local development?
Wait, the firmware isn't OSS? Did they ever mention why? I completely understand that they can't open source stuff like a phone's modem firmware, but I don't get it here. Was it written in house or did they use some off the shelf solution (would explain why they can't open source it).

I mean, I know that fairphone doesn't market themselves as OSS centric (like purism does for example), but you'd think that it would fit their ewaste reduction goal in this case.
Besides the way Apple puts a hard limit on the number of those you can spin up, don't they also virtualize hardware and run their own kernels? That's just not the kind of virtualization that containers are.
> I would call that straight up abuse of GitHub.

This is really inflammatory. GitHub explicitly allows publishing release artifacts without source - if GitHub considered this abuse they could make it so compilation had to occur as a github action such that the artifact is guaranteed to be compiled from the source as it exists within the repo. As it is users can push any old binary up and claim that it was built with the code in the repo.

https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/releasing-projects-o...
Calling 3.11 vs 3.12 a major version change is incorrect in orthodox semantic versioning terms.

However, for python, it makes sense. A bunch of code breaks in 3.12 vs 3.11, for instance. Also, python 2 vs python 3 are very incompatible at this point, and it's been a split over a decade old.
> If Payoneer was using sms based auth codes, then it was clearly Payoneers error for doing something so incredibly stupid.

It's sort of ironic that the Krebs article indicates that these dudes were specifically targeting the "most secure" OTP methods we know: authentication apps, rather than SMS or email codes.

They were simply using social engineering and human trust to bypass the industry's best technical practices.

SMS and email are side-channel communications, so the attacker would need to intercept them, and hopefully suppress the legitimate receipt as well. I'd get kind of worried if my bank sent me an unsolicited code. But a consumer may be more credulous when their "bank" calls in to request one from them...
Nope but I do experience overscroll issues. I suspect I waste an entire hour a month retyping things lost because of an accidental pull to refresh.

I am a senior software engineer with 8 years of experience. I am currently working as engineer #4 at a startup that has been accepted into an incubator. I own key systems for messaging and ML, including SMS and the ML audio pipeline.

I am interested in ML and distributed systems, and finding alternative approaches to established solutions to outmaneuver entrenched competition. For me, Elixir and Rust is critical to this strategy.

Previously I’ve built a bespoke audio ML pipeline for automating call centers in the hospitality industry using Rust.
The Japanese bust (well, the bubble that lead to the bust) was itself partially engineered, as a clever bit of American protectionism. The Plaza Accord prompted the BoJ to cut interest rates, leading to a brief period of cheap and easy money that completely destroyed the remarkably solid and sustainable economy Japan had built post-war (sounds familiar?).

>with an entirely different view on antitrust (ambivalent to opposed)

Post-war, Japan (with the American occupation's "help") did what would be unthinkable to American businesses, taxing the personal wealth of company heads up to ~85% and purging them from their companies. This left much of Japan's industry essentially controlled by the government.
