I was under the impression Aider did exactly what you're describing using it's repo map feature.

Not really, repo map only gives LLMs an overview of the codebase, but aider doesn't automatically bring files into the context - you have to explicitly add the files you wish for it to see in their entirety to the context. Claude Code/Codex and most other tools do this automatically, that's why they're much more autonomous.

Aider regularly asks me the authorization to access files that I didn't explicitly add.

(This happens when the LLM mentions them.)

It also supports DMX input (sACN or Art-Net) for designing and controlling complex effects from external software.


Sol-Ark certainly seems to embody 'never let a crisis go to waste '.

Sol-Ark may not have pulled the trigger on bricking the inverters, but it certainly sounds like their legal actions pressed Deye's hand.

And then to shake down all the individuals who's inverters broke with a limited time opportunity to buy a brand new one from them....


Why are you blaming Sol-Ark when Deye is the one in breach of contract taking illegal actions the entire time? Seems very disingenuous. They also did not force Deye's hand in this action and seem surprised by it.


> in breach of contract

I can't really figure out what they did that was in breach of contract. As far as I understand it, they don't do business inside the areas affected, so there is no contract to speak of. Instead, their authorized resellers seem to be the ones installing for their hardware; I don't even think it's legal to sell their hardware if it doesn't comply with FCC/etc guidelines.

Is geo-blocking illegal? Am I entitled to a refund if I import American hardware that refuses to operate in my country?

I think people were risking a broken setup for a big discount, and now it's come back to bite them in the ass. If the units affected were official installations done by their American reseller, their reseller wouldn't be so ready to offer up free replacements.


> Am I entitled to a refund if I import American hardware that refuses to operate in my country?

If the product doesn't obviously communicate that it won't work in your country: yes.


Wait, what? So defending your rights under an exclusivity agreement through the courts is somehow now "forcing" their hand? The evil Sol-Ark by suing for compliance to their contract pushed the hapless Deye into bricking consumers hardware?


I like how you quoted forcing, but I very specifically did not use that term.

Had there been no exclusivity agreement, I think we can agree that the inverters would not of been bricked for being located in the wrong regions.

I think the malice from Sol-Ark here is that they are only offering a limited time deal, which may pressure people to pay up before the courts clear this up.

Regardless of who shares the majority of the blame, Sol-Ark, Deye or 3rd party vendors, this could of been handled better by all parties involved, and should not have harmed end consumers in this way.


It’s unclear who caused it exactly, but sol-ark does not seem to be at fault unless one thinks exclusivity contracts are illegal or wrong.

It seems deye either willfully or negligently ignore their contract they made with sol ark. Or their middle men in other countries did. Deye then punished the end users for deye’s lapses.

Where does solark get blame unless the exclusivity contract is what one objects to.


When the purpose of the exclusivity contract is to sell something at 5x the price it is sold for in other markets, I think most people would reasonably describe this as price gouging.


So you're just agreeing with a possible viewpoint the parent admitted as valid several times?


> I like how you quoted forcing, but I very specifically did not use that term.

I like that you substituted a similar word while paraphrasing a common phrase and then used the opportunity to say “I didn’t mean what you thought I did. I meant something else but will not describe what that is exactly”


Blaming Sol-Ark for that is just absurd.


Seeing as they are paying $5 a month, how do you expect buying a NUC to pay for itself in a few months? Where are you finding NUCs for $20 with free electricity?


Any decommissioned office PC from eBay will be faster than $5 linode. For example search for optiflex https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=optiplex+pc&_udhi=30 They're not too power hungry either if you make sure not to go for i7s


But it'll cost $100+/yr in electricity.


There are optiplex models running at 14W or less when idle. In my area that's ~$20 per year. (It close to half of that in practice with solar)


Based on your ebay link, the cheapest PCs are around $50 shipped. Including the electricity, that's $70/year. So you'd need more than a year to have this approach pay off, and additionally you will have saddled yourself with managing a physical machine rather than have someone else abstract it for you.

Doesn't seem to pass the "it'll pay for itself in a couple months" claim.


That link sets the max price to $30. (I see a few at $18) I'm not sure how you found a $50 item there. Ignore shipping if you're adding that in, there's lots of local ones you can find on Facebook market and similar sites.


...no? My NUC draws about 18 watts under load, which is about $24 per year at typical American energy rates. It cost me 30 bucks. So, it's paid for itself after about 10 months (5n = 2n + 30), and it's way faster than a $5 VPS.


What use cases are you imagining where you need arbitrary data output and processing at 100GHz speeds? It's my understanding that even 100GbE is running at a fraction of those frequencies.


To be able to spend multiple cycles for processing a bit. Or process multiple bits arriving at the same time. Also it might be necessary to measure signal multiple times. May be 100 GHz is too much... For example I wanted to bit-bang FM radio by measuring antenna signal, that's around 100 MHz, so I need to probe around 200-300M times per second and perform at least minimal processing, I guess.


I realize FM radio is strictly an example, but would you not rely on bandpass sampling? Where you sample at some multiple of your bandwidth and rely on the spectral replication effect to get your waveform.

Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undersampling (funny enough, this article explicitly calls out the FM radio use case).


You need a very stable clock for that, which was also called out as a thing. With some PLLs you could lower the needed frequency. I think you're really looking for a small FPGA though.


While there aren't many statistics on this sort of sentencing, I did find some here: https://forum.mentalhealthlaw.co.uk/t/section-37-41-data-spe...

And based on the following:

> The number of admissions has fluctuated between 1,500 and 1,700 since 2008.

And

> The number of discharges and disposals has fluctuated between 1,350 and 1,550 since 2011

One can extrapolate that up to a couple hundred new admissions each year are staying in essentially indefinitely, as the discharge rate is generally always lower than the admissions rate.


Any ideas what is being referenced with this quote?

He blames Crowdstrike for his org treating humans like shit for money. Nice.


Is that all you got from the quote?

"was unfortunately complicated by the CrowdStrike incident, extreme weather and other unexpected logistical and communications issues"

"extreme weather"

"communications issues"

Are you doing this on purpose? I'm not even a fan of the guy but this type of out-of-context taking just hurts discourse. It's the type of thing I came to HN to avoid.


I notice you don't correct anything I've said, because none of it is false.

He did blame CrowdStrike, right at the top of the list of blame. He did not take any responsibility for what he and his org did.


This had been 'coming soon' for a little while now. Have they shipped out any early backer units yet, or have a firm shipping timeline for people who order today?


Looks interesting, I hope they build out a web UI, and as some of the quality of life features like embedding a center logo, and changing shapes or colors of aspects elements


Accounting for inflation, the advertised price for one of these would of been roughly $240!
