I'm seeing more and more AI video memes and they are getting really good. Still just bunch of short clips, long shots are not working well enough, but typical Hollywood movies have few second cuts anyway so this is almost good enough t

I don't like this way of putting it, it's good the github API makes this easy as that makes it an useful. Should not try to imply this should be restricted just because of some bad actors. It's just going to annoy legit users

OK so make the warning more annoying. Have a security quiz. Cooldown period of one day to enable. Require unlock via adb connected to laptop. There are alternative solutions if the true goal is maintaining user freedom while protecting dumb

He didn't add a clause, he replaced their entire declaration with a single clause of his choice. At least that is how I read it.

I can highly recommend buying these printed in the "bible style" binding with finger cutouts, ribbon bookmark and everything. https://nostarch.com/gtfo3

> because automatically restarting a transmitter in an unmanned tunnel is not an acceptable failure mode Why? Also, surely they don't mean unmanned, who is listening to the AM emergency broadcast then?

Yup, it's really a good fit for simple constraints eg in IAM systems. Give user X permission to do Y, but subject to some CEL expression like date comparison (auto-expiring grants), resource path prefix or similar.

ISP DNS servers really ought to be banned, they are always so bad. I've seen traffic days later on a record with 1 hour TTL. In general I see like 50% traffic move after the initial 1-2x TTL interval, another 40-45% over next several h

I'm surprised by the negative takes... Yes, proxies are good. Ones which you pay for and which are running legitimately, with the knowledge (and compensation) of those who run them. Malware in random apps running on your device without

Bad news is there are such morons in your company. Good news is this is why we have IAM and why such people in my org don't get any production access.

People say the reason nigerian prince scammers use such ridiculous story, or bank phishing has so many typos, is to pre-filter dumb and gullible people so the scammers don't waste time on targets that won't get scammed in the end.

Agreed. Given the consistency and speed of flags though, I don't think #2 is just "organic" flagging.

Cue the usual dang copypasta how there is no evidence of flag brigading, and how they "moderate less", and so on.

The CO2 cycle is problematic because of timelines. We are releasing millions of years of CO2 accumulation. Rain is more of a location problem. The evaporated water returns as rain quickly, but maybe somewhere else, such as over ocean. And t

As a fellow non-american who also hates politics (us, home or other), pretending this doesn't affect you or the tech world is hopelessly naive. I hate seeing these posts on HN. I hate not seeing them / getting flagged more.

Usually yes, but it depends: https://pierrekim.github.io/blog/2016-11-01-gpon-ftth-networ... Also the authentication might rely on weak secrets. I know my ISP provided FTTH router has a six letter password and a guessa

They most likely use GPON so the optic is going to see return traffic for your neighbors. So they make it hard (but not impossible) to bring your own optic or media converter.

What does that have to do with registrar? You are talking about DNS zone hosting which can be separate. And I always prefer to keep it that way.

Kindle makes this easier. I read lying in bed, on my side, same as if I was sleeping, and prop the kindle against a second pillow. This doesn't work with a paper book as you would have to flip between sides and keep holding it open. Th

The Sanderson wiki [1] has a time-travel feature where you read a snapshot just before a publication of a book, ensuring no spoilers. I would like a similar pre-LLM Wikipedia snapshot. Sometimes I would prefer potentially stale or incomplet

I mean if it's not routable how do you want to prove ownership in a way nobody else can? Just make a domain name.

Not to use them excessively. Good human writing has variety and style. AI articles are the same boring template, doesn't matter if it's emdash or not.
