With WiFi 7 we finally have a real need for 10Gbps port. Hopefully the scale of production means 10Gbps with get cost reduction fast enough to replace 1Gbps.

I would be happy even if 5Gbps replaced 1Gbps Ethernet but it seems industry is not interested in doing it. It is either 1, 2.5 or 5Gbps supported with 10.

I tried looking into the Transcendental Syntax I paper. It starts with

> We study logic in the light of the Kantian distinction between analytic (untyped, meaningless, locative) answers and synthetic (typed, meaningful, spiritual) questions. Which is specially relevant to proof-theory: in a proof-net, the upper part is locative, whereas the lower part is spititual: a posteriori (explicit) as far as correctness is concerned, a priori (implicit) for questions dealing with consequence, typically cut-elimination. The divides locative/spiritual and explicit/implicit give rise to four blocks which are enough to explain the whole logical activity.

Honestly, this and the rest of the paper read like a caricature of (a particularly grumpy) continental philosopher. I suspect many mathematicians don't engage with this because they are drawn to precision. From what I read (and from your comment), I have no idea what this program really is about. Maybe there's something of value in there but it seems really hard to tell.

Does it say "I am a lamp. I am a lamp."?
Hey, I made something like this last year. It wasn't a self-contained unit, it was just a receipt printer with a script that would run every morning at 8am, getting the forecast, word of the day, and quote of the day. The idea was that if something important happened that day, I could hold onto that day's slip of paper and maybe write a note on it? I dunno, I stopped using after a month or so.
Wow that is a cool concept

I don't think the conviction matters to the point. They were convicted, but my point is that a suspicion that causes an investigation should probably warrant telling those who could be at risk, even if the investigation ends up going nowhere.

Not sure what you mean about the civil matter, CSAM offences are criminal, so I'd expect "innocent until proven guilty" to apply in this case. If you mean that for other civil matters there's no need to notify those at risk, I would agree, I doubt anything civil meets the bar of risk.
Surely there is a middle ground for contributions which you don't really care to retain ownership of?

Show HN: Add local files, YouTube transcripts, blog posts to your LLM prompts
I just released my first open-source project called Prompt Builder — it lets you add local files, fetch YouTube transcripts, fetch content from URLs, etc. to your LLM prompts.

I've found it super useful for long-context tasks like writing, coding, and casual research. Essentially any case where you have a bunch of material that you would like to inject into a prompt's context quickly.

There's also a lot of neat power-user features like web search, summarize a text before injecting (useful for condensing contexts that might be too long and/or distracting), transcribe local audio/video files, see exact token counts, reusable snippets with variables, etc.

Bring your own keys, local-first, and 100% open-source.

Just starting out so I would appreciate any feedback!

You can write your own script to do this. It's a few lines of scripting to query whatever APIs you want, and then output to /dev/usb0 or wherever the printer is hooked up. Seems a bit unnecessary to add an extra API wrapper just to do that

You can test this right now by running `echo "Hello, world!" > /dev/usb0`, assuming a printer is connected to that USB port of your Unix-based device.

I see people proclaim the quality of Propublica journalism and thus actually read through a number of their major exposes.

I wasn’t impressed. They do the same thing the major news outlets do - craft a narrative then selectively use findings to support it.

Their expose on tax records is a good example - they calculated billionaires tax rates based not on income (as everyone thinks of) but rather total wealth to arrive at shockingly small numbers (intentionally).

Maybe they do a better job of in depth articles but the overall quality isn’t that impressive.

That's such an extreme position that even Stallman rejects it.

Think it over. Even Stallman, the guy who fetches web pages by mail so as to avoid running non-free JavaScript, promotes the business model of selling permission to violate the GPL to corporations.

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling-exceptions.html

It's okay to do it. This preserves freedom for everyone and gives you the leverage needed to negotiate a contract with a corporation. Everyone can enjoy hacking on an AGPLv3 project. The companies that can't will pay you for the privilege. They might pay you enough that you can work full time on it, maybe even hire more contributors, maybe just enjoy life.

If you're against this, then logically you are also against permissive licenses which allow all this and more. Even Stallman, the most extreme free software proponent alive today, found this to be too extreme. He didn't consider permissive licenses to be immoral, therefore he isn't against this.

I even emailed him to confirm. AGPLv3 is better because only the copyright owner gets to do it, nobody else. Permissive licenses allow everybody else to do it, no questions asked. They just give away all the leverage, completely free. One of the biggest wealth transfer in history, from well meaning developers and straight into the pockets of corporations.
They sell "3N" within China and the US can't really do anything about it.
As someone who lost around 50,000 in the terra/luna collapse, I do believe a lot of it is on Do Kwon. He was the one that kept the Anchor flywheel at unsustainably high APR, moved more UST to refill the reserves and so on. He also ignored warnings of a death spiral and continued with advertising unrealistic expectations.

When the depeg happened, Do Kwon was front and center on making it sound like everything was under control, instead of damage control. And his creation of LUNA2 is even more of a joke for the people that lost money on this.

Is it his fault that it collapsed? Maybe not directly, but he steered the boat.
An important piece of context, which might not be immediately apparent from this discussion, is that a vast majority of people in and around New York City dislike and distrust the MTA (NYC's public transit organization) to an extreme extent[3][4]. People widely view the MTA as ineffective and its spending as suspect. The MTA has more than doubled fares in recent years[1][2], yet has nothing to show for it.

So, when a policy proposal seeks to send more money to the MTA, people will naturally be skeptical. If all the money so far hasn't made a difference, and NYC public transit is still on a bad trajectory, how can, and indeed why should, we trust giving the MTA even more money yet again?

In particular, (from the article) the MTA claims that the money will fund the 2nd Avenue line extension. Another important piece of context is that the 2nd Avenue line extension has had a terrible track record. It's been start-and-stop for many years. Earlier phases have come in behind schedule, over cost, and covered less distance than originally promised[5][6].

To avoid giving the wrong idea, I should emphasize that I am, in a vacuum, a big proponent of public transit. I think that public transit benefits everyone, and brings so much value above and beyond what it costs. Plenty of cities, internationally, demonstrate this time again, particularly in much of Europe and East Asia, and even some domestically in the US. NYC just isn't one of them. I'm also not upset at the MTA, merely disappointed.

I have observed elsewhere that it is extremely difficult to bootstrap competence where none currently exists, previously in the context of software engineering. This is extremely true for the MTA, also.

Ask HN: Use data from chest HR strap with Fitbit/etc. algorithms?
Call me crazy but I currently use sports tape to attach my Fitbit Inspire 3 to the back of my arm (like a CGM). I've been doing this for 2 years, it works great and I don't feel it at all.

I don't care for smartwatch features and pretty much only use it for sleep tracking and less so but also monitoring general heart health.

Given the lack of transparency on how FitBit (and others) infer sleep stages; it's hard to know for sure but I believe FitBit only uses heart rate data.

If that's the case, is it possible to feed data from a regular fitness bluetooth chest or arm heart rate strap into Fitbit (or similarly accurate) sleep stage inference systems?
Show HN: Generate .env files from various secret providers via checked-in config
Hi!
I've been frustrated with the secret sharing situation in serverside javascript land for a while; the common thing is to just toss .env files around on Slack to get someone's app working, or involves some kind of convoluted setup to get a blob from a storage and turn it into environment variables via commands I have to copy paste every time.

But everyone uses secret storage providers, e.g. shared password vaults, cloud secrets, etc., so why not leverage those as URIs in a JSON file that can be checked in to source control? I want something simple that would just generate the darn .env file with the secrets, and log me in the process if need be.

Something like..

{
"SECRET_ENV_VALUE": "op://application-secrets/test/test-section",
"SECRET_ENV_VALUE2": "gcsm://projects/1234567890/secrets/SOME_KEY/versions/latest"
}

Surprisingly I wasn't able to find anything exactly like this (most seem to want to sell me something centralised on their servers instead), so I made it. It's still quite early but I've made providers for:

- 1password (via CLI)

- AWS Secret Manager (via nodejs)

- Azure Key Vault (via nodejs)

- Bitwarden (via CLI)

- Doppler (via CLI)

- Github Secrets (via CLI)

- Google Cloud Secret Manager (via nodejs)

- Hashicorp Vault (via nodejs)

- Infisical (via CLI)

- KeePass (via CLI)

- LastPass (via CLI)

It can handle binary data from the providers that can store some, encoding it as base64 in the .env file. It tries to be nice to JSON as well.

Some (read most) of these need help testing out, so if you're interested feel free to come in to kick the tires and raise issues :)

The providers will try to log you in (or guide you through the process) if you are not, so any help making that even nicer is appreciated!
They certainly used to. Why do you say we don’t recycle glass? It’s basically the same process as making new glass, you just add broken up glass in with the silica sand.
> A lot of hot code are written in hand-coded inline assembly

I know... I write GPU assembly for a living... And still I make that wager. It's not a lot. It's not even a little. It's an epsilon (overall). And it gets smaller over time.
Yes, but you've got to balance that against the equivalent human processing time. Meatbags are notoriously carbon-intensive to feed.
I appreciate the in-depth reply. But if the foundry is able to produce the next gen of their core ultra processors, wouldn’t that lead to a sudden flock of renewed interest, especially if the foundry becomes the new core business model? Not doubting that inertia is there, or that management is incompetent, but they’ve bet the entire company on foundry, unlike before, which shows a lot of commitment this time around. Especially if people aren’t able to get access to the cutting edge node in Taiwan due to giants buying out the entire capacity, it seems like intel would be a natural second choice for anything bleeding edge, no?
Very true, you cannot assign what is not yours.

(Ianal, but I assume that means if you did sign a CLA and submit then you are breaking copyright.)

But that's not my point.

My point is that "not signing a CLA" is only half the job. The other part of the job is actively finding out your status with your company to understand their position. (And I recommend getting that answer in writing. )
As someone who wants GPL enforcement, I still say don't sign a CLA, for two reasons:

- Centralizing copyright ownership in a single entity grants that entity the ability to lock down the project at any time and defeat the copyleft (e.g. Oracle killing off OpenSolaris). I consider this a worse outcome than a copyleft that is unenforced. It also encourages malicious enforcement (e.g. Oracle v. Google) that runs contrary to the goals of FOSS.

- Due to some very specific peculiarities of US law, regular users can sue companies that don't follow the GPL, because the source code disclosure requirement makes you a third-party beneficiary of the copyright license (which in US law is a contract).

The last one is a bit unfair to the article because the rulings in question happened after it was published. But it obviates the biggest benefit of centralized ownership - clear and unambiguous standing to sue. If things were the opposite - i.e. the courts said third-party beneficiaries can't sue and only owners can - then there would be an argument for keeping ownership of critical parts of the project in an entity with no conflict of interest against enforcement.

Even then, I don't see why ownership has to be centralized. Under US law, joint owners of a single copyrighted work both have standing to sue. Having more owners means more people with standing. In lieu of a classic CLA with a single point of failure, you could have a policy of accepting any code that is either owned by the developer itself (after their employment contracts have been vetted) or any of a number of trustworthy FOSS organizations who are committed to enforcing GPL. All parties would have standing to sue individually and could additionally sue as a class in a single action.

With the AGPL, you only have to share the code if you modified it. You don't have to keep on top of automatic updates and publish the source code for each update you get.
