if anyone smarter than me wants to chime in, Im no security expert but some of the things in the GitHub docs are a bit alarming, given that this is a smash hit and will be in lots of US homes and offices next year.
no auth to access the camera or mic as long as youre on the same network? the docs say fine in an office but I kind of feel like maybe no, not fine in an office
and it exposes your wifi credentials when you set it up?
are these really such trivial architecture issues they can be patched in the next few months before they ship out?
still love the robot, its a wonderful project.

Thank you! Tbh I probably just need to put out more applications to get the interviews in the first place
Ask HN: How good do I need to be to work at a startup?
I want to work at a startup, but I don't know how to stand out. Any advice? I'm a senior atm but if I could I'd drive down to SF tomorrow to start work...I build a lot and love it but some of these applications say things like "what are you the top 1% at?". I don't go to a target school and have no idea how to market myself. My skills / interest are in vision + interactivity AI applications....

I think that has to do with the nuance of programming a voice based flow that works for everyone. LLMs are on a different UX bandwidth.

Finally going to have proper inflow of training data for 3D & robotics. 3D has its LLM moment. Simulation gets a major brain boost it’s so janky to make scenes rn.
Early research on vaccines to help the body synthesize or remove small particles like plastics and pollutants.
An update on mandatory nutrition labels.
Devastating cyberphysical infrastructure incident due to natural disaster or hack. We get through it with love and grace, to everyone’s surprise.
I get into grad school, I hope.

That’s how things used to be and it’s a good spirit. Volunteering and being civically engaged are good for the soul.

Exactly. My boyfriend’s mom is that waitress trope. She sure was happy when he got an EE degree though. Hard work to do forever.

I doubt your friend base is predominantly min wage. Mine is, and universally, every single person’s opinion has been gratitude bordering on disbelief that as gen Z we can get by. “They were given flexibility that most people would envy”…then you leave tech to work at McD’s. Yes the restaurants are expensive but they haven’t been for the working class since the automat anyway.
