reachableceo··on Intel plans spinoff of FPGA unit
One would presume Intel will get a decent chunk of the stock in any IPO and capture the upside value.

That does seem to be how these kind of deals are usually structured. Spinco is 60% owned by the parent or wherever.

reachableceo··on Unveiling secrets of the ESP32: creating an open-source MAC layer
I am researching that at this time as well. I have VNA etc and am keen to collaborate !

Charles@turnsys.com

I have quite a collection of research material on RF cages / testing .

reachableceo··on FreeBSD on Firecracker
I believe the term you are looking for is unikernel, not micro kernel.
reachableceo··on Ask HN: Any hardware startups here?
I’m cofounder and CTO of a self funded , post revenue , pre profit hardware startup .

High altitude balloons that are payload agnostic. Working on the mass manufacturing process.

Make revenue through consulting and renting out the hardware lab when we aren’t using it.

Austin Texas

What are your skills ? Do you want to work ?

Contact me to discuss . Charles@turnsys.com

reachableceo··on Show HN: OpenObserve – Elasticsearch/Datadog alternative
Plus one on this. How did this get “typo”?
reachableceo··on Let's Talk about ChatGPT with Code Interpreter and Microsoft Copilot
So a binary created by a compiler isn’t copyrighted ?

Last I checked , that’s not the case. Otherwise the entire proprietary software universe would collapse (not that having that outcome isn’t desirable per se )

reachableceo··on Nearly 40% of software engineers will only work remotely
So instead of setting boundaries and ensuring appropriate behavior and social skills for your child , you surrender to him and shift your work hours ?

Why?

That’s not healthy for either party.

reachableceo··on Ask HN: What sources to you use to get up to date with the news?
BBC podcasts. From hourly 5 minute headline briefs to 1 hour topic deep dives.

The twice daily global news podcast is a must listen.

reachableceo··on Jetnet Acquires ADS-B Exchange, a community-fed ADSB aggregator
I have infrastructure (my own fully private small colo) and a vested permanent commercial interest in an open exchange/aggregator or whatever this is called.

Charles@turnsys.com for anyone who is serious about this.

My commercial interest is a free software / hardware (with itar exception) high altitude balloon startup that I’m the CTO/founder of .

reachableceo··on Vikunja – Open-source, self-hostable to-do app
Now it’s docker pull and editing a compose file or setting env variables.

Essentially exactly the same process as LAMP deployment of yesteryear .

I mean, yes you can make it complicated/enterprise with k8s and such.

I found cloudron to be a good middle balance.

I say this as someone running about 250 applications or so. One cloudron vm , one bare Ubuntu server vm with nothing but docker installed.

reachableceo··on Apple fined $8.5M for illegally collecting iPhone owners' data for ads
I would wager they spend more than that a week globally on coffee and plastic ware in the cafeteria . Or other similar incidental expenses.

This is nothing.

reachableceo··on EU-wide maximum limit of €10K for cash payments
From the atm or the teller ?

ATM limit of 1k is common.

My small local credit union keeps about 10k in each of the tellers drawers . So you should be able to easily go up to 50k cash withdrawal .

If it’s a large multinational , 100k I suspect.

Also why not just go 10 days in a row and pull out 1k?

reachableceo··on End-to-end encrypted messages need more than libsignal
I think you are being pedantic.

Aws , TiVo , whatever . Lots of orgs exploited the contractual logic gap in gpl v2. Aws is the latest in a long list of freeloaders .

I license all my / my startups code under AGPL v3. I don’t offer anyone proprietary license and I don’t ask anyone for CLA.

Defense against freeloaders and also tyrant. My operating agreement for my LLC has language about this stuff. It’s that core to our DNA.

reachableceo··on Hetzner continues its growth in the US with a new location
How is having lease terms for my private property in exchange for monthly consideration censorship ?

I am not being antagonistic. I am quite serious.

I myself have built out my own private on premise data center and have no contractual restrictions on what I can do. I’m only limited by US law.

It was expensive . I did it because I didn’t want to be restricted by Ovh etc lease terms .

It’s the same as owning your house vs renting.

reachableceo··on Where has the passive radar code gone?
Please email me. I can’t find your contact info.

I’m working on an ITAR SDR startup and would like to chat. (Goes for anyone who may want to chat on those topics).

reachableceo··on We've filed a lawsuit against GitHub Copilot
Let me (start or join the call) for federal investigation and the filing of criminal complaints in all relevant locales.

Grand theft , interstate wire fraud and conspiracy for same.

This is a criminal matter as well as civil. Intentional and knowing violation of the law.

We must not let our work be taken!

reachableceo··on The pool of talented C++ developers is running dry
I’m interested in your startup idea .

I’m needing todo some highly complex embedded development for my startup in a highly regulated safety critical space.

reachableceo··on New York could become first state with a ‘Right to Repair’ law
“Right to repair” is a succinct label / rallying cry for what you have outlined. All of the discussion i have seen seems to settle more or less around what you’ve outlined.

I would hope that the text of the law would codify those requirements and ensure the longevity of our devices.

Perhaps you can expand your comment a bit , into a blog post and send it to policy makers ?

reachableceo··on Odroid-H3
On all Linux distros on all hardware , one should use the (latest(stable)) vendor drivers. :)

The distro drivers (and/or) kernel drivers, are almost always garbage. Also make sure the NIC firmware is up to date.

reachableceo··on GitHub Copi­lot inves­ti­ga­tion
If my code is licensed under terms , that’s the permission .

If you use my licensed work then yes, you do need to follow the terms of the license .

The issue of license / contract / copyright is messy. It doesn’t ever seem (in the USA anyway ) to be definitively answered / “solved.”

I chose AGPL v3 only on purpose.

Co pilot and users thereof (so now two levels removed ) utilizing code in whatever work are stealing my work (unless it’s AGPL v3 licensed ). The adding of intermediaries (and the most likely unknown and with no way to know) infringing is going to be very difficult to mitigate. It’s like truly unknowingly buying stolen property,

reachableceo··on GitHub Copi­lot inves­ti­ga­tion
Equal protection under the law.

I am 100% on the side of content creators. Regardless of who they are .

The courts tend to take a dim view of theft. Which is what this is.

The article clearly lays out that multiple requests for sound legal basis have gone unanswered . It simply doesn’t exist and Microsoft is operating on a forgiveness vs permission model.

Licensing is 100% about permissions. Clear and explicit enumeration of the permissions (or lack thereof ) for a work.

This class action lawsuit should surprise nobody. It’s a class that is sick and tired of being exploited.

Do not take my work that I contributed with explicit permissions and use it in a way I didn’t grant permission for. Full stop. It isn’t complicated.

You wouldn’t download a car and all that jazz….

reachableceo··on GitHub Copilot, with “public code” blocked, emits my copyrighted code
Copyright is for original whole works. Utility functions don’t fall under that I don’t think.

I suppose whoever wants to pay the fees would “own” these things ?

reachableceo··on Poll: Contractors, what is your hourly rate
120.00 per hour plus expenses . Payable at time of delivery.
reachableceo··on Ask HN: How to say no to a GitHub issue feature request?
Draw up a quote ?

I mean it’s a bit glib but I’m serious.

This presumes you want to be paid. Many don’t because it means it’s not fun anymore. I’m in that camp.

reachableceo··on Ask HN: What software is China using to physically develop all these products?
Maybe it was designed in the states and contracted to China for fabrication?
reachableceo··on SearchHut
Meh. Hacker news is the place to get actual real feedback. Frying pan to fire etc.

Develop a thick skin or don’t read the comments lol!

He chose to disclose it to a few people. Word spreads. That’s what happens.

Execute NDAs and have a security program if you don’t want stuff getting out.

reachableceo··on SearchHut
Quite passive aggressive if you ask me. Boo-boo someone shared your project before you were “ready”.

If you don’t want something disclosed , don’t disclose it.

Only way for three people to keep a secret is if two of them are dead.

A thing is in the world. Let it be in the world. Harness the collective power and focus it into a force multiplier.

Or don’t.

reachableceo··on Ask HN: What'd you do while HN was down?
I went to Reddit and lobste.rs . Was horrible! (Not really ).
reachableceo··on Ask HN: Online community for self-taught CS hobbyists?
I presume you’ve tried /r/compsci or /r/programming ? Or other forums ? You’ve found them lacking in some way?

Many folks are collaborating online in large communities of any number of topics , especially computer related .

Have you looked into your local geographic area for meetups ? Or post to the sub Reddit for your local geo asking people to meet up to study ?
