Nice

I believe they were acquired by Apple?

Please note that Octoprint and Klipper are at different levels of functionality. It's not a choice between the two in any way.

Octoprint is for job management/monitoring and is SUPER extensible. It gives you a web interface/camera view/manual control of the printer. You can do things like install a slicer plugin so you can drop an .stl file into the browser then it will slice and print.

Klipper is more like printer firmware. It's lower level than Octoprint.

The two can be used together.

It’s been 18 months on an entirely new platform and a small team of (BRILLIANT) people did such a good job discovering and porting to undocumented hardware that it worked on the M2 hardware essentially before it started shipping.

I don’t think Apple is trying to get in their way.

Also… developing for documented hardware is also an endless treadmill of work as it evolves/new products are released.

It just has much less uncertainty.

I 100% agree it would be awesome if Apple released full documentation. Broadcom too. Probably others.

(All IMHO)

I think the issue is that SIP is supposed to be like “beyond root”.

Because many installs (heck, going to a page with invalid cert in Safari!) ask for an admins password to install, which gives escalated privileges up to root.

So they added a level that requires higher than root access.

With this vulnerability, someone typing their password could allow beyond root privileges.

That is my simplified parsing of things.

Note - I didn’t read the article. I’m not in security. But I did live with Dan Kaminsky for close to 5 years. RIP :/

I think it would be better if there were the expectation of published change logs.

Very nice. Seems deterministic, which I value in sound/music visualizers. (I’ve been experimenting with them for ~20+ years, haven’t released anything though)

This is a great project. Still work in progress but so much better than expensive commercial closed source products that are similar

It’s nice to read about a truly improved product, which led to packaging innovation, and such a simple logo and slogan.

Apple also gives a full suite of developer tools, documentation, example code. Built in debugging, testing, simulation.

If you have a design/image creation software and XCode you could make almost any app.

Patreon doesn’t give any tools to creators to directly create.

Hotline was such a great scene!

Main site seems broken. From wiki page:

“ Voice will let you listen to and share short, personal and enjoyable Voicegrams via electronic mail and on the World Wide Web by GNOME executives, employees and volunteers.”

I’d love OSC for use with Max to control some of my interactive art. Currently using Leap Motion but previously Kinect (too high latency), Wii-mote (great till it gets lost/walked off with) etc.

I may be missing something (I don't understand tax stuff well), but if they write off $X losses, and pay $X less taxes... doesn't that mean the American people are paying the same either way in the end?

Also, not being able to do simple things like fillets easily limits real world use of openSCAD for 3d printing

Very impressive!

Most Cameras supporting the ONVIF standard will work off net/grid.

ONVIF feeds info about camera capabilities, and URLs for the camera’s RTSP streams which can be used with many things including VLC.

ONVIF is a discovery/configuration protocol for many security/access control type things.

There are a number of open source etc programs that will discover/config the cameras.

Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePo4) is significantly safer in this aspect.

Amazing

Wrong how?

I understand, but I disagree.

Dan Kaminsky was my best friend. We lived together multiple times, and were working on finding a new place where we could hack together and help others do the impossible.

Losing him shattered my future for reasons I am not going to get into right now.

The fact that he got a black bar the next day really meant something to me as I was dealing with the aftermath.

Hacker news isn't a technology news site.

It's a community of brilliant who change the world with technology. A celebration of intellectual curiosity.

At least that's how I see it.

Clever! Thanks :)

I’d love to see some pictures of the super beat up ones that still work :)

See also meshtastic.org Similar, wider hw platforms, very active development

Interesting Timing!

I think that everyone I've met with this viewpoint has been an "intermediary" or one who profits from them.

Your thoughts on that?

It’s an amazing mind opening paradigm - especially since it also makes web UIs that sync As you edit even. (Miraweb feature)

It’s the closest thing to wiring up electronics while the are on that I have used.

It’s not FOSS but I highly recommend playing with the trial for a few hours. The example code is great and very active forums.

Pure data is great too, same idea, same original Creator, has evolved in some Slightly different directions but not as polished.

No connection except happy user for 15 years.

Nice, that actually works pretty well as a social construct for government/leadership.

Brilliant. Love the atmosphere, also :)

People often talk as if it was Jobs and Jony Ive that made apples reboot successful.

I believe it was Jobs, Cook, and Ive (more or less in that order).

Early on, Cook was the operations person that helped turn Apple back into a functioning business.

Jobs wanted people to be able to accomplish things with as few buttons as possible.

Ive wanted to make perfect shiny pebbles with 0 buttons.

Cook wanted to make functional supply chains and products that didn’t break under warranty or beyond.

It was a triple point for good progress.

(Jobs, Ive, Cook etc did a phenomenal job re-imagining retail also IMHO)
