Ask HN: What's it like to develop surveillance tech?

The (non-tech) industry I am in generates an enormous amount of text that it's fairly certain nobody reads past the executive summary.

My workmates love it. Amongst the tech community, I see a divide very similar to the crypto one - everybody who has a stake in it succeeding is very optimistic. Everybody working in other areas seems dubious at best.

Steve Jobs' cabinet 12 months ago

Why not? There are companies dedicated to sprucing up houses for sale. They will even bake bread for you before inspections to give the place a "homey" smell.

Half an hour with a screwdriver seems doable

The more constructive way of putting this would be to mention which browser you are using. Judging from the comments, it works in plenty of browsers

I found this game from a recommendation here and I have played it every day since. I think it's great. The rules take a bit of getting used to, but the dynamic of never having to guess (and getting penalised for guessing) makes it really interesting. It's just hard enough without being infuriating.

The page says that there are other Sam puzzles which can be played in html5, but the link only goes to the app store. Congrats on this one. Where can I find the browser versions of the others?

Yes, why does the developing world need an education system when we could be flooding them with AI hallucinations?

Looks like a fun game but it would be nice to have an undo last word button. Sometimes you hit a dead end and the only way out is to reload the page (unless I misunderstand the UI)

Also "starting playing" could just read start

Nice work, though - the daily puzzle space needs more original ideas like this

I think most platforms have recognised this and now release an episode per week to get that common cultural experience back. I great plenty of discussion about last night's episode of white lotus or last of us.

I wouldn't be getting to nostalgic about the old days of tv. Remember how it was to miss am episode and have to wait for the repeat? Or be sick in bed for days and bored with literally nothing to watch/binge?

I don't mean to be dismissive (here goes, though) but the whole article boils down to one point, and it's one that frightens me that it needs to be repeated so often: use AI as your intern, not your replacement

Simple.

(paraphrasing from memory because it's a while since I've seen it)

Your connection is insecure. Information you send could be intercepted by attackers. Accept the risk and continue?

Explains the problem in simple terms. Calls out the website for being lazy and careless. Gives you the option to proceed if you don't care.

Why is this scareware and how would you word it?

* Your TURN server should provide APIs that allow you to verify that allocations/permissions are only created for your users.

coturn provides these APIs, they're not covered in the writeup, though

* Use an auth mechanism that has an expiry time. Like [0]

This is how the credentials server in the write up works

yes, but you can block cross origin requests to both the credentials server and the PeerJS server which I understand prevents this: "relaying any traffic they want, without any of your own web sites or WebRTC apps involved"

Again, not an expert. This problem only really exists for "ad-hoc" connections where you don't want people to have to set up accounts. coturn has the ability to do standard authentication by checking credentials stored in databases

oh, no - I am far too lazy to "shop around" for TURN servers and coturn just works and ticks all the open source boxes for me - lots of contributors, recent commits, lots of stars and forks (although these last two aren't as important as the first)
