I had the exact same thing happen to me. Took CS107 at Stanford; cap stone project was a heap allocator. I ended up expanding it post course completion and published what I thought was a more clever approach. A few months later, I got a pre

i loved playing ShenzhenIO! So much so that i ended up buying and registering the domain of the fictitious company you were hired by in the game. That domain redirects to Seam now

This was my exact intuition. At 450 metric ton, we're three orders of magnitude away from what large container ships can do. It's a nice PoC but this is clearly just PR from DHL. Air freight is also an odd comparison since it&#x27

i don't get all the hate in this thread. I literally was about to build this today, using my home server, tailscale, and some kind of web frontend. thanks for saving me time :)

So? I can make the exact same point about Google and other tech companies that endured years—decades sometimes—of eye-watering losses, only to eventually build enormously valuable businesses.

eh... I'm pretty sure I mentioned net income (which i think is pretty close to profit in some circles) but if we care about debt servicing, buybacks...etc, let's just look at cash flow. And there too, in Q3, they posted $1B+ for q

FYI Uber reported a net income of $2.6B in Q3-2024 and $1.9B for 2023. That's no Google but that's also no "barely makes any money" territory, no? Source: https://www.google.com/finance/quote/UB

yeah but even then, it's still just a contract. The legal math behind Cisco's decision might just be to extend support just long enough to meet obligations and tolerate the risk that the remaining customers might sue.

Anyone here know customers affected? I'm wondering if Seam could build a LoRaWAN gateway and get these guys out of this mess.

yes at Seam we've seen a number of large deployment in multi-family buildings where you need to deploy devices (locks, thermostats, water leak sensors) but wiring the whole building with wifi isn't an option.

I don't know if it will count as DIY, but take a look at LEGIC and their devkit for this. We (seam) work with them and I recall seeing a couple of startups doing demo's of their UWB solution at their LEGIC Connect conference.

Sounds like a really interesting technical challenge. Couple of issues I can see: (1) most devices out there would probably be mobile, so no NVIDIA/CUDA for you; (2) even with binding to, say, Apple Silicon, you might still be memory l

Nathan -- thanks for your work on this issue. I'm the ceo/co-founder at Seam (YC S20). We're building an API for IoT devices. I have many, many thoughts for you. For Seam, we purchase, set up, and test many individual devices

For the wetter sciences, the answer is somewhere in between. We usually have somewhat of an understanding of the prior theory. We then throw a lot of stuff at the wall…. Oh, this sticks? Eh, why? And then usually some more clever person wil

Yeah pdf of report says that blocking is instant as of 2021. Also completely agree with the need for an active connection to do work. A lot of the software/hacker devs I knew have left China all together in the last 3-4 years. Inabilit

I’ve done so much experimentation with GFW pre pandemic while staying in China for extended period of times. I was always amazed at how quickly they would catch up on my shadowsocks, random ssh tunnels…etc. 48 hours top before I had to rota

Happy to help. Have you tried Home Assistant as well? It's pretty good for personal use cases and such.

Many, yes. We have a page ( https://www.seam.co/security-and-privacy ) detailing this. One of the area of collaboration with manufacturers is helping them implement proper OAuth so that we never have to do this.

QIDI X-MAXⅡ. We mostly use it to print device test fixtures. For example, we have a fixture for thermostats, ie before you can test a smart thermostat, you have to trick it into thinking it is connected to an actual HVAC system. So we have

Ohhh, this is such a great question! Also, it's quite clear you’ve seen these systems & their APIs up close, and can appreciate the mess… :) So I’d say there are two approaches to doing these abstractions. We sort of support both a

Early in the Seam journey, Dawn and I got a chance to speak with Jeff Lawson at Twilio. Jeff mentioned that exact dynamic, "the dev who's hacking on the weekend with Twilio and brings into work Monday morning" was a pretty po

Thanks! btw I don't know if you recall this, but very early on in Seam, you took the time to give us some advice. That was really kind and thoughtful. Thank You!

That's a pretty accurate take. Amazon/Azure's IoT solutions are intended for device manufacturers who need to move data back-and-forth between devices and cloud infra. We don't play at all in this space, but a friend of
