From the sources
This is the complete Chiaro methodology for SOC 2 readiness and audit: the control library we test against, the criteria each control maps to, the evidence we accept, and the rules the collection runs under. Readiness and the examination run on the same framework, so the bar a company prepares against is the bar the examination applies. It is published because the alternative to showing your work is asking people to take it on faith, and a compliance industry that ran on faith is why anyone is reading this. The attributes carry 552 worked examples of a judgment call between them, each recording a verdict an AI reached, the verdict that was correct, and why. They exist to calibrate judgment,…from github.com

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
