You encapsulate self censorship and its effectiveness quite well.

I'm inclined to say a Panic is absolutely preferable to root auth.
Ey7NFZ3P0nzAe··on Stringman, an $800 open-source room scale gripper robot
Awesome! Though I'm thinking that you can do MUCH MUCH more things with 2 grippers than with one. Has all been tried in terms of weight management to instead of having a motor in the air with a gripper, putting two motors on each end corner of the ceiling that can pull a line tethered to a (in the air) pulley system that grasps? You could then have say 4 lines to pull (1 left grip, 1 right grip, 1 to adjust both gripper's distance, 1 to rotate the in the air platform).

It would still be miles better to add something to do on the hardware side. For example: every time a new firmware or setting is pushed, a physical employee has to go press a button (or turn a key) to make it apply.

It would be a more sensible tradeoff bo matter the scale of the store, thab jeopardizing the entire fresh supply of a nation.

> Dr Xu, an optical engineering researcher at the National University of Singapore, reportedly responded to the LinkedIn post. According to Nature, Dr Xu accepted that he had used an AI model to assist with post-processing but denied breaking the rules of the competition, which clearly state that “AI-generated videos are not permitted.”

> “It was applied afterwards to the reconstructed grayscale data to distinguish and color structures with similar morphology,” he wrote.

> However, Dr Xu’s messages on the LinkedIn post can’t be found as of today (October 1), and his LinkedIn profile now appears to have been deleted entirely.

> Scientists have repeatedly said that the issue could be resolved if Dr Xu shares his RAW grayscale video.

But they grew much bigger still thanks to illegal tacticts. So the very fact that it's a sizable portion of 2018's revenue but not of today's revenue shows how incitated they are to keep going the same path.

Ey7NFZ3P0nzAe··on Ledger confirms spy chip implant behind wallet crypto thefts
The fact that Ledger uses resellers is crazy.

The fact that some people can put million dollars worth of crypto on a device, but can't buy a plane ticket to someone to get the device straight from the factory is crazy.

The fact that puri.sm has better anti interdiction practices than Ledger is crazy : https://puri.sm/posts/anti-interdiction-update-six-month-ret...

> Before Ledger publicly confirmed the hardware implant, former Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpelès reported examining a suspicious Ledger Nano X device obtained from Malaysia. On October 9, Karpelès described finding an additional electronic component hidden behind the device’s display, inside material normally used to protect the screen.

> He reported that the wallet had arrived in packaging that appeared intact, raising questions about whether customers could identify a modified device through a routine visual inspection. In photographs shared publicly, the component appeared to contain electronic circuitry separate from the wallet’s original hardware

Come on.

Ey7NFZ3P0nzAe··on We turned EmbeddingGemma 2 into a speech-to-text model
Nice work. It makes me think: is it really impossible to use the model2vec framework with this? It can be used to turn an embedding model into a super fast cpu only vectorizer. I think it loses the order of words but, someone's gotta try and see if it works anyway right?

Ey7NFZ3P0nzAe··on Ask HN: What do you run on a $5 VPS that's worth keeping online 24/7?
I'm a psychiatry resident and dev : I self host as much as I can and am a big fan of optimizing stuff for browser side processing and static websites. This allows me to have pretty complex websites on the cheapest VPS I could find. Some of my sites even include embedding search over hundreds of thousands of chunks within milliseconds.

Are there drawbacks to this?
