Controlling the software lifecycle of a client library or executable, to be able to update its x509 certs as part of an upgrade cycle, is ... not security through obscurity. It's pretty standard practice, especially if your customer base knows very little about maintianing certs/keys.

It's about a vendor trying to control an experience for its users balancing its UX and maintenance costs.

There's no real vendor lock-in here beyond the usual conspiracy "Bambu Lab is better therefore they're evil unless they give it all away for free to their competition", that's a pile of nonsense. Orca Slicer and 3rd party slicers will continue to work with the new approach if they can work out the details of the PR that uses Bambu Connect.
I'm guessing most of OrcaSlicer's users are using bambu printers and if they upgrade to the firmware that requires bambu connect it's quite likely that the OrcaSlicer maintainers will have some interest in keeping the slicer working.

The alternative is that users have to manually use bambu connect and that seems inferior to what the PR enables.
So many crazy issues! Why would you put a fence around the heat pump compressor?!

On the east coast, they are great, lowering cost of heating and cooling especially in the shoulder months when you're thinking it's time to turn on your system.

Personally, I prefer them because they keep the air in the room and don't need ducting systems which is something radiator houses might not have. They seem to work well even in our drafty old houses.

In PA gas is extremely cheap so it's hard to beat with an electric system. Author is in CA, so maybe a bit different. Title is clickbait.

Prusa Core One exists.
I have also probably used it on and off for 10+ years, but don't recall any bad updates. What did you encounter that you didn't like if I may ask?
OpenAI was caught gaming benchmarks recently with FrontierMath. Just (yet another) sign that benchmarks are very flawed and everyone is training on them.

So I would not put too much weight on how the models are doing on benchmarks.

For years, we struggled with budgeting and maintaining spreadsheets, checking our balances in different places, and failing to get instant and straightforward answers about our money that reflected our real lives. We also wanted our finances to work in harmony with our lifestyle, goals, and values. That’s why we created Savi, which puts it all together, making financial clarity feel less like a puzzle and more like second nature.

The comments from the VASAviation video [0] seem to indicate that it wasn’t the DL but instead the WN plane that caused the scrub. The DL was routed north of the zone and the WN was routed south of the zone. The launch path is southerly, so it seems like the WN was the more likely offender, but I guess we won’t know specifically until we hear from the RSO.

Several Chinese models already go up to 128k so it's not like they don't know how to scale it up, but models that handle long context well also take more time and compute to train, so it makes sense that they're iterating on quality of outputs rather than increasing length right now. I wouldn't read much into it wrt moats or lack thereof.

I don't think this is correct. I'm fairly certain you can enable LAN only mode without signing in on the printer.
For #1, I appreciate your approach. I can see the benefit. However, something to be said for allowing kids to consume music, as an example, on their own terms, just as you were likely able to.

Can't argue with #2 or #3. I know I could always manage my screen time better.

Love #4. I think the previous three could be "See #4."

There is only so much you can control as a parent. Do the best you can with what you can control. Be a good example. Help them learn from mistakes. There are certainly more appropriate ages than others to expose children to technology, media, etc. Whatever you decide, just know that they will eventually have the freedom to find it on their own. The important thing then is how well prepared are they to make healthy and positive choices at that time.
> In any case having a well funded startup is a far better safety net than a forced insurance.

Not for the average person
I don't think there's any absolute rule here. I'm pretty convinced that a startup would be healthier for me rather than my safe day job. The amount of churn and nascent burn out due to chasing tech debt and tickets surrounded by demotivated people is really bad.

I guess being aware of what you need and can afford is key.
Sure, of course if ATC tells them to land on a runway that is clearly occupied they have a responsibility to notice this and override.

In this case, they were directed into an area that was not occupied by an authority that controls the region's airspace. They could have asked ATC about it but ATC has control over the airspace.

And?

The value of the money to you or the business is worth more now than 10 years from now. Meaning just like I said, it makes more sense for you as an individual to have made $300K and live off $100K and invest it in 2010 than to wallow in obscurity at failing startups and then start saving at 35.

This is the textbook definition of the time value of money - as quoted from Investopedia.

The rest of the machine is no less incredible - the EUV light is reflected off a series of mirrors (the largest weighing, IIRC, somewhere in the region of 300kg, and the largest that Zeiss have ever made) onto a mask of the target pattern, which is rapidly shuttling back and forth, onto another series of mirrors, and finally focused onto the wafer stage, which is also moving precisely in step with the mask, to expose the photoresist on a single die which is on the order of 10mm square.

And each wafer goes through multiple cycles of this, so not only does the machine rapidly create features at the nanonmetre scale with incredible accuracy, but again and again in exactly the same place after removing and returning the wafer.

Oh, and the wafer stage is pretty fun too; it uses an electrostatic chuck that induces a charge in the wafer and therefore holds it firmly in place without needing any kind of suction that could distort the wafer.

Same as they did it back in the "old days" when GPT-4 was 8k and LLaMA was 2k. Chunking, RAG etc, then cross your fingers and hope that it all works reasonably well.
Someone on /g/ asked it for "relevant historical events in 1989" and it replied back with "That's beyond my scope, ask me something else". Pretty funny.
Very interesting story. Especially the bit about impostor syndrome.. to most people he had already secured enough skills and experience for a lifetime of confidence.. but turns out we all have our own measure of skills and success.

Thanks for sharing
Interesting approach! Thanks for making it open-source, I think we need more open-language language learning tools. As I'm also building one (https://github.com/laurentlb/lingostories/), I'm going to take a look at what you did and the technical decisions.

You seem to focus on the English use-case. In my experience, getting exposure to other languages can be much more difficult, especially when you're not fluent yet. It would be interesting to see how to approach it: ideally, questions and answers should be in the target language, but the questions have to be very simple.

As someone else mentioned, having audio would be very useful. At some point, you could consider a hand-free mode: it reads the question out loud, pauses a few seconds, then tells the response.
Most of the leading crime gangs in europe and worldwide are Albanian [0]. They are a global operation thats present in almost every country thats relevant to the drug trade, and thats as a result of their massive diaspora (something like 30%-40% of their whole population has fled albania since the 80s). VICE declared Albania as the first and only european narco-state.[1] I actually have a friend who worked for the UN researching the narco economy in Albania, and the conclusion was that the GDP of the drug trade was half the GDP of the whole country [2]. In 2014 there was an incident where Dutch tourists that were hiking the mountains there accidentally discovered endless cannabis plantations and posted it on YouTube after leaving the country. This prompted wide outrage everywhere in Europe, and hence the Albanian government had to do something to save face, and they burned all the crops there in the region.[3] The thing is, the government and the narcos are all the same. Albania is still the major exporter of cannabis across Europe, and Albania is still the reigning king of drug transport. The Italian mafia is closely associated and probably dwarfed by the Albanian mafia.

It means they have existing relationships/contacts to reach out to for negotiating the rights for other usages of that content. I think it negates (for the case of Google/Apple/Amazon who all sell ebooks) the claim made that efficiently acquiring the digital texts wouldn't be possible.
> It cannot be solved by the hectoring, bullying, self-pitying, or other toxic behaviours rightly associated with the declining “woke” movement, which the OP seems to criticise PG for opposing.

This sounds like the criticisms of MLK, Jr. and other civil rights activists for always stirring things up. People who want change tend to stir things up.

That being said, I think you exaggerate about the toxic behaviors of the "woke" movement. Certainly, you must be referring to online, because I can't think of when I have ever experienced any of that offline. If you're talking about Twitter, then I guess I could believe it, because that place is toxic as hell.
You disagreed on the history of events by saying automakers globally started at the same point with regarding EVs and that's why in part China is so far ahead.

I corrected you, that's it's worse than that because the U.S. automakers weren't even starting at 0 in comparison (which you doubled-down on that they were for whatever reason). They had the advantage to be ahead.

A mom and pop restaurant can compete with Burger King and Starbucks. It's not quite the same with tech, as they can pay the $300k salaries for people to do the same thing you do, and they can buy out your market. Basically everything that can be done with money is stacked against you, and all you have as a startup is more grit than all these straight A students who graduated from ivy leagues.
I would explain it to you, but I’m holding this beer I’m drinking…
Add support for every APU. They can have much more RAM than discrete graphics.
More metamaterial lenses on the way?
The actual subtle issue here is that sometimes you actually need CI features around caching and the like, so you are forced to engage with the format a bit.

You can, of course, chew it down to a bare minimum. But I really wish more CI systems would just show up with "you configure us with scripts" instead of the "declarative" nonsense.
To underscore your point, the original flight plan almost certainly did not transit that region. So the pilot likely wouldn’t have even been aware that there’s a TFR somewhere vaguely adjacent to their intended path.

ATC issues minor deviations all the time and for a plethora of reasons as you mentioned. And those instructions are expected to be followed promptly, not “after I’ve spent a half hour re-reviewing hundreds of possible NOTAMs along the new course”.
We were about to to buy a Bambu Lab printer but then learnt there will be new printers coming out in Q1 so naturally wanted to wait.

I need to educate myself on this a bit more on this issue, but it feels like the rest of the printer industry is just catching up with the X1C (looking at Creality K2 Plus)..

Do I wait for next-gen printers from Bambu Labs which I imagine will be quite revolutionary, or do I buy we buy a Creality K2 Plus, which basically is a X1C.
There's hype and there's hype. No, DeepSeek-V3 is not better than Sonnet. But it is drastically better than open-weights LLMs we've had before, so it is still a significant increase in "local AI power" - surely you can see why people are excited about that even if SOTA cloud models can still do better? I mean, even if it only just beats the original GPT-4 from two years ago, that still means that things are moving very fast.
The American companies that get talked about most here are mainly software companies. The "supply chain" for software is far less interesting and easily hidden away. Who cares about a litany of Indian outsourcing companies (apart from those who were outsourced i suppose)?

If MQTT is fundamentally insecure, someone needs to inform the AWS IoT and Azure IoT teams.

While they are at it, they need to change their user admin consoles to only allow access via mTLS rather than sending "plain text" passwords over HTTPS as part of their OAuth 2.0 logins.

Yes, hyperbole, but there are many threat models and mTLS isn't some magic panacea, there are tough issues around key deployment and management which Bambu obviously haven't thought through.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iot/latest/developerguide/mqtt.h...

Just like HTTP, there will always be someone who manages to misconfigure or turn off all the security. That doesn't make the protocol bad or irrelevant.

The majority of deployed MTLS certificates I've seen in the wild are used in IoT contexts to auth against MQTT servers because of the many advantages MQTT has over HTTPS for that use case.
Sounds like you’re counting on being in the 10%.
LLMs are fed token ids, out of a tokenizer.... no characters. They don't even have any concept of a character.

You are in a discussion where you are just miles out of your depth. Go read LLMs 101 somewhere.
From the vantage point of Cambridge it has a reputation as a shithole, but I haven't been there either so would also like to know.

The county council covering the Cambridge area is actually based in Peterborough, and so effectively controls a lot of the countryside around Cambridge, as it is in charge of transport. So arguably the lack of development could be their fault as well.

Supposedly the government is plan is to reduce everywhere to one layer of local government (currently Cambridge is covered by both a county and district council). TBH the areas which are currently unitary seem to work a bit better but there's still massive opposition to building.

It was based on USCD Pascal, which compiled to p-code. It required 64kB of RAM and was bundled with the Apple II Language Card, which had 16kB of RAM [1]. The card cost $495 initially, which is about $2,200 in today's money. [2] It didn't fit on one floppy, so required some disk swapping.

The United States Intelligence Complex will never ever let that happen, instead we will give them an option to have our own nuclear warheads which can be equipped to a US operated aircraft on their soil just like it is in the Netherlands. The most important thing is the the Polish Government cannot independently target using a nuclear warhead the targeting and the decision to launch should always be made by the US(i.e. A US 4 star general just like how it is in NATO)
This is incorrect - while it's true that most cloud providers have a filtering pass on both inputs and outputs these days, the model itself is also censored via RLHF, which can be observed when running locally.

That said, for open-weights models, this is largely irrelevant because you can always "uncensor" it simply by starting to write its response for it such that it agrees to fulfill your request (e.g. in text-generation-webui, you can specify the prefix for response, and it will automatically insert those tokens before spinning up the LLM). I've yet to see any locally available model that is not susceptible to this simple workaround. E.g. with QwQ-32, just having it start the response with "Yes sir!" is usually sufficient.
Thanks for all your work on this.

I asked ChatGPT to explain why money has time value without referring to making other money (circular).

I think this is a good description which represents my view. Notice that these are true regardless of the existence of central banking:

Opportunity Costs of Waiting: Money available now can be used to address immediate needs or desires—buying goods, accessing services, or achieving goals. If that money is delayed, those opportunities may be lost, diminished, or deferred, reducing its practical utility.

Uncertainty Over Time: The future is uncertain, and there is a risk that the purchasing power or usefulness of money might change due to factors like inflation, changes in circumstances, or unforeseen events. Money available now provides a guarantee of utility that might not exist in the future.

Personal Preference for Timing: People often value immediate access to money because it aligns with their current priorities. For example, having money now could allow someone to travel, invest in education, or address urgent health needs—opportunities that may not hold the same relevance or availability later.
