It protects against things other than the intended client modifying the data. Someone said we need cert pinning to protect data integrity in the face of MITM. I am saying signing your requests solves MITM modifying the traffic, so you don’t

Uh… how about display an error message if the user isn’t subscribed to premium and the server doesn't send any ads?

Only naively. You can do a key exchange.

Cert pinning is not a solution and defeats legitimate traffic inspection cases. It also just moves the goalposts as the author discusses it can be defeated by a modified app binary. The industry has moved on. Sign your data if modification

The point is that when ignoring unknown fields leads to users defeating your business model, even though the protocol requires it, the business logic of your software almost certainly should not. Protobuf working as intended, youtube client

Can you put together a guide in response showing where the inefficiencies are and how to mitigate them with more simple software? It sounds like the author was aware of at least parts of your comment. The post is very thorough. They benchma

Yes, I searched RLHF and figured it out. But this was an especially “good” example of poor communication. I assume the author isn’t being deliberately obtuse and appreciates the feedback.

Respectfully, when you’re responding to someone who doesn't know what RL is, and you say “it’s this—already used in [another even lesser known acronym that includes the original]…” it doesn’t really help asker (like if you know what RL

I see people hallucinate on HN all the time. We tolerate it. Why should we? We should if the overall inclusion of unreliable things (humans) provide value. The error rate for LLMs doesn't matter. The net value does. So if the value is

by dcow 2y ago
The general point is not that the feature currently exists to dial down the LLM parse error rate, it’s that the abstract argument “we can’t use LLMs because they aren't perfect” isn’t a realistic argument in the first place. You’re pro

It’s a little deceptive. While early work began on Kagi prior to Orion, Orion launched prior to Kagi becoming GA. I think that can be interpreted in relatively different ways, mine being that I got to experience Orion as a product before Ka

Chefs actually are subject to being tasted before hire. It doesn’t happen in a 1hr interview, no. But the owners of a restaurant either know the chef’s cooking from previous experience or invote them in to cook. Doctors go through excessive

In the thread of the argument, Apple does not hold a monopoly on web advertising, though. Apple’s entire business is building compute devices.

Unreliable indeed. It stops working half the time for no apparent reason and you have to go in and toggle settings to make it work again.

The point is there are non-trivial examples where it’s really hard to switch your default search engine away from Google/Bing because all paths lead back to them (via platform self-promotion and paid placement). One might even argue th

At this point, what format of interview isn’t a problem?

Didn’t Kagi ship Orion first , before the search product?

by dcow 2y ago
I find it hard to believe that Google just happens to be the default search engine everywhere. And that the best user experience for Apple’s users is to have a search engine list that you have to pay to be on. And that if you change your de

The actual issue is that Google pushes Chrome on its properties “this site renders better with Chrome download here” so it’s almost impossible for users to avoid it. Same issue with Edge. Once you switch off of Safari on macOS that’s the la

The post-election HN community has been very different of late, at least on political topics. I’ve been here quite a while.

On every team I’ve worked on there is an expectation of at least weekly updates. Usually a daily or every other daily standup. The request is not unreasonable. I can never know what I’d do when faced with a position where I believed some of

I’m sure this great CEO will continue to be a great leader under other management, then. We’ll see if Cuban actually follows through on his offer or if it’s just political virtue signaling.

I think it’s a brilliant and effective way to route out insubordination and dead workers.

And now they’re facing the consequences (the existence of which clearly refutes your chain of command argument). Maybe they are virtuous. Maybe they got bad advice from leadership. Either way the chapter is finished and the outcome doesn&#x

I don’t think you’re interpreting the article’s wording correctly.

If the board of my company (my CEO’s boss) showed up in Slack and asked, I would probably listen to my CEO’s boss. And what a poor CEO for risking his entire workforce and his own position on a political squabble.
