Unfortunately we're the weird ones for wanting to stream >100mbps content.

My 2020 LG CX has a USB 2.0 port and I get ~300mbps with a gigabit adapter, if the TV you ended up with has a USB port it's worth a try.

What >100mbps content is there? 4K bluray just needs a bigger buffer to handle >100mbps spikes (Kodi for example offers this) and Moonlight/Apollo/etc is well into diminishing returns

4k blu-ray remuxes break 100mbps for long enough to cause problems on my TV, unless I use either wifi or the USB adapter. Others have done investigations showing in some movies the bitrate will exceed 100mbps for minutes at a time.

Fully automated luxury space fascism doesn't really need buyers. A risk of high automation/post-scarcity is that abundance exists but remains under the control of people who are not interested in justice or equality or freedom. Lots of people feel that describes the leadership of most AI tech companies.

If they don't need your labor, and they don't need you as a customer, and they don't care about you as a person... where does that leave you?

[to be clear, I think post-scarcity, even in knowledge work, is a lot further off than most ai-doomsayers or ai-worshipers who take statements from people like Altman and Musk at face value]

But that also assume that peasants do not have agency and won't trigger another French Revolution.

They may they may not. The nobility has learned a lot in the past 200+ years. Powerful propaganda machines, powerful weaponry, and a small group of loyalists have proven extremely effective at controlling large populations.

They won’t say it in public, but I imagine they’re betting on swarms of automated slaughterbots protecting them when things truly go to shit.

I figure a big part of it is that SWE-Bench is the target benchmark for programming and it's all python.

Python being the language LLMs are best at predates SWE-Bench by years.

If you're a client using the same idempotency key for a materially different request you have a bug.

Yes, and if you are building a payment API you need to be robust to client bugs.

Rejecting the conflicting request is being robust to improperly reused idempotency keys. There's no other reasonable answer.

The client is part of a distributed transaction. It can't be oblivious to this. Clear semantics and accurate adherence to them is the only answer that doesn't make the overall system unsound. Client bugs are expected and so the simplest semantics that ensure data integrity and accurate responses are the best way to help them identify and fix their bugs.

There's a wonderful Home Assistant integration that has all the monitoring features one could want.

Perhaps the fact that he brings petty interpersonal drama wherever he goes is the root of the complaint?

If you with "he" mean Daniel Micay, I unfortunately agree, based on observations from previously having idled in the GOS Discord for a couple of years. Plenty of downright mean and unforgiving behavior, not seldom due to him misinterpreting others' statements and questions.

This is a feature. When I enable LAN mode I do not want Bambu to be able to control my printer.

It remains astonishing to me that this is controversial. Not everyone has the knowhow to block internet access to their printer, so having a toggle in firmware is terrific. I've verified after turning it on that it never phones home. Couldn't be happier.

It’s fully understandable to want that and exactly what I use too. It still sucks for people that did want to start their prints locally and control them over the app.

Almost no one meaningfully isolates their bambu-- lots of people isolate the printer but bambu makes you run their mystery meat 'network plugin' on your host.

Unless you're running qubes or some other virtualization setup their network plugin punctures whatever airgap you put around the printer and also gives them access to your system as well.

I’ve been meaning to look into what the network plugin does more.

I see in my dns logs lots of repeated blocked requests to a Bambu labs domain whenever I have orcaslicer open. I assume it’s so many because it’s getting blocked and retrying.

I just print over lan though. Not using the Bambu servers (or the fork mentioned in OP) It works flawlessly.

The issue isn't that there's a toggle to turn off the cloud protocol in firmware. The issue is specifically that they now require you to turn off the cloud protocol if you want local access.

It is curious how successful AI developers have been in trying to redefine "open source" as "the binary is free to download"

The OSI is garbage, and "open source" outside of the most viral licenses is too.

I'll go further and say that it accelerated getting us into this mess we're in today.

The OSI is owned and controlled by the tech titan hyperscalers who benefit from free labor.

Useful "open source software" always gets encrusted by the big titans that then build means to control the tech, and then the means to control us. And just to rub salt in the wounds, they rarely compensate the original authors.

Android is Linux, right? Then why can't we install our own software? Why does it spy on us? Open source is so great, right?

95% of humans will never own a phone that gives them freedom. And we enabled that.

Everything we as tech people own is also getting locked down. We're going to have to start providing our state ID to access the internet soon.

But OMG, Year of Linux on the Desktop 2012!!12

Pretty soon you won't even be able to use your Linux. Everything will be attested.

Open source hasn't stopped power from accruing to the titans. It's accelerated their domination.

People rush to defend Google and Amazon when you criticize how they profit off of Redis, Elasticsearch, etc. The teams that build the tech aren't becoming wealthy, and most of the bytes flowing through those systems are doing so behind closed source AWS/GCP/Azure offerings.

These companies then use their insane reach to tax everything that moves. Google owns 92% (yes, 92%!) of URL bars and they tax every search, especially searches for other companies' trademarks. They do even better - they turn it into a bidding war. Almost nothing that exists in the world today can make it to you without being taxed by them.

If they don't like your content, you just disappear.

Mobile platforms have never been ours. We can't install what we want. We're soon going to be locked at the firmware level to just Google and Apple and forced to use their adblocking-free, tracker-enabled "browsers" (1984 telescreens). Any competition can't get started due to the massive scale required, meanwhile Apple and Google tax everything at 30% and start correlating everything you do, everyone you talk to, everywhere you go in their panopticon.

"Open source" was wool pulled over our eyes so that we happily built, supported, and enabled this.

Open source should be replaced with "our proletariat users and small businesses can have this for free, but businesses listed on any stock exchange cannot commercialize this ever unless they pay out the nose for it".

"Source available" / shareware is peak. Give your users the thing, and the means to maintain it after you're gone, but tell Google et al. to go away.

"Fuck you, pay me" as the artists frequently say.

But also, let's stop giving the Death Star free labor.

(edit: I'd love a feedback sampling of the heavy downvotes. OSI purists? Goog employees? Surely MIT/BSD fans and not anyone who follows Stallman.)

>Pretty soon you won't even be able to use your Linux. Everything will be attested.

I want to rescue this snippet.

Few of us remember the "fight" and discussions that happened when Firefox first pondered the idea of allowing encrypted video on the platform. Same with Linux. This was when The powers that be forced Netflix and other video distributors to introduce that opaque tech in the web. The same thing happened with DeCSS and Linux DVD playing; but that generation was a bit more... revel.

But we as a society are indeed slowly and steadily giving away our rights of many, for the rights of few cartels.

It's been a sad journey to see for someone born in the early 80s.

> But we as a society are indeed slowly and steadily giving away our rights of many, for the rights of few cartels.

Increasing geopolitical multi-polarity may force big tech to give up ground. The EU and ASEAN in particular should be hitting Google et al. with the regulatory hammer.

When we get clearer heads back in power (Lina Khan was great, but moved much too slow), they ought to carve the tech cos into Baby Bells. Horizontally so they have to compete with themselves.

> It's been a sad journey to see for someone born in the early 80s.

The dream of the open web, privacy, freedom of speech, and freedom of computing is being killed by the oligarchy. And they convinced us the progressive thing to do was to give them our labor - they hung us with it.

While I don't take the author's hard stance, I do hate gratuitous query params that result in links that are thousands of characters long.

I use this bookmarklet to strip query params before sharing a link:

    javascript:(()=>navigator.clipboard.writeText(location.origin+location.pathname))();

This corrupts a URL like:

  https://example.com/?p=20&utm_source=spam

to:

  https://example.com/

when in fact we want the following:

  https://example.com/?p=20

A possible improvement can be:

  javascript:(()=>{const u=new URL(location.href);[...u.searchParams.keys()].forEach(k=>{if(k.startsWith('utm_')){u.searchParams.delete(k)}});navigator.clipboard.writeText(u.href)})();

We have different goals. I do this to strip unnecessary junk off of product page links I'm going to share, and your version now does nothing to (for example) Amazon PDP links. I understand it doesn't work for every kind of link and that's fine.

If I did want to support paginated/search pages, I would allowlist only `p` and `q` rather than specifically blocking one type of analytics.

Yes, that's fair. Indeed my so called improvement requires continual maintenance to add new parameters to the blocklist, which somewhat defeats what is perhaps the main purpose: convenience.

While it is clear that your solution works well for you and would probably work for me too for most types of 'bad' URLs, I am noting down an allowlist based solution for my own satisfaction and future reference:

  javascript:(()=>{const u=new URL(location.href);[...u.searchParams.keys()].forEach(k=>{if(!['p','q'].includes(k)){u.searchParams.delete(k)}});navigator.clipboard.writeText(u.href)})();

Tested with the following URL:

  https://duckduckgo.com/?ia=web&origin=funnel_home_website&t=h_&q=hello+world&chip-select=search

The bookmarklet copies this cleaned version of the URL:

  https://duckduckgo.com/?q=hello+world

This is great! I love one-liners that are readable like this. This made me wonder if there are any extensions that run a script on every page load for a web browser. I'm currently experimenting with userscript managers and plan on including your code as an additional security measure against tracking.

HN front page is about 25% LLM written blog posts at any given time.

There’s no rule against submitting LLM-written—ahem, “cleaned up my notes”—articles, just comments.

Badly-written articles are still unwelcome on HN, wether AI-assisted or not, and obvious LLM smell definitely lowers the quality of an article. But it's true, we don't ban every article with any evidence of AI-assistance.
