I think OP is merely suggesting that the tutelage of a Fields medalist had more to do with the subsequent Fields medal than did the poetry. I didn't read the comment as diminishing the accomplishments or suggesting anyone could do the

If you've got root on the client, certificate pinning can be disabled ;) Usually it boils down to patching whatever method or system call the library in question is using to pin the HTTPS request, e.g. on iOS jailbreaks there's a

IIRC, Twilio offers a paid STUN/TURN service. But you could also self-host it using some open source TURN server, since all it requires is a public IP address (with the caveat of course that it might not be geographically close to the

Thanks. I assumed it was Margin of Error. The article doesn't expand the acronym until midway through the post, where it appears almost accidentally. Perhaps the intended audience is a mixture of experts, of which I'm not a part.

I don't mind reading research papers, but they're really annoying to read on a phone screen. I remember a few years ago, an HN comment shared a link to some tool that could convert a PDF to single column text and make it more read

I can type just as fast (if not faster) on my phone as on desktop. I write almost all my HN comments from my phone, primarily because it's my leisure device and I try to use my desktop only for work (or at least "work") activ

I expect they'll lose value in the step-function shape that's typical of technology, where each new generation decreases the value of the previous one. But that's fine, as long as each chip generates more revenue over its lif

I love mitmproxy. It's been consistently part of my toolbelt for nearly a decade, it's stable, and still has plenty of new features that I can use if I need them, but it still works the same for its core use case as it did ten yea

Were they ever active in the first place? I only signed up to claim my account (which I later realized was pointless since the name is reserved by your Instagram handle anyway). I'm perfectly willing to believe usage has flatlined, and

Is this normalized by number of each demographic that sits for the test? (Sorry if that's answered in the PDF but maybe someone with more time or statistical understanding than me can check it.)

That's because Europe doesn't have as many world renowned institutions. And for the few that it does have, people absolutely care. There's a difference between EFPL and University of Delft, or Oxford and University of Southam

Relax. There'd be no need for presumptions if you wrote more clearly than "phone calls is 99% of what I do," unless you're suggesting it's a reasonable presumption that you spend 99% of your personal time on the pho

It sounds like a dumb gimmick, but I don't see anything morally wrong with it as long as the interns are aware of the deal before they accept the offer to work there. Also, is it actually public? Or just shared with everyone inside the

What do you mean calls is 99% of what you do? For work? Doesn't that just prove my point? You're not using the phone system for personal calls. You must work somewhere doing outbound calls for some reason or receiving them for ano

I haven't answered the phone in years. All calls from unknown numbers go straight to silent, and anyone in my contacts knows not to call me anyway. What kind of real person uses the phone nowadays? It's literally scams, customer s

You're unemployed and have $25,000 in credit card debt. This is some impressive post-hoc rationalization, but it would have more credibility if you wrote about it before you went into significant personal debt. Otherwise it just read

Does enabling a VPN disable private relay or does it tunnel to the VPN through private relay? For some reason I have it in my head that it "double wraps" the traffic but I've never actually confirmed that for a fact.

I felt the same, but I also feel like it was the perfect (least bad) time in my life for it to happen. I can't imagine being in the middle of High School or University during Covid - those kids got the absolute worst end of the deal. I

I can empathize with the author. The first time you write some code collaboratively with GPT and it actually works, you feel a burning need to shout about it. Because it's one of those moments where something "clicks" and you

First, it's worth noting the code in the blog post is not "production code," but rather one-off or periodically used scripts for accelerating manual business processes, with results that are easy to manually check. But in reg

Cloudflare is one of the operators of egress nodes for iCloud Private Relay, along with Akamai and Fastly and maybe some others (IIRC). So you probably have issues with Archive.is when you're connected through Cloudflare. Although I&#x

I think you're taking their choice of a single word a bit too seriously, and dare I say, personally. I don't think they're claiming to be the first to have ever discovered this attack vector, nor are they trying to steal cred

Probably. I got distracted by the game so I never found out. And I only visit those websites when I'm watching a stream anyway. Really it's quite a clever distribution vector, since it involves long sessions and any experts in the

I believe much of economics can be summed up as: most people don't want to do most things. (This can probably be rephrased to align with Maslow's hierarchy of needs.)

Also note that as far as the sketchiness scale goes, this is basically a 5/10. Now consider the same tools in the hands of malware distributors. For example, I've seen these anti-debugger techniques on NFL piracy websites when I t
