There may be a free CS course out there that teaches how to implement a simplified version of Google's PageRank. It's essentially just the recursive idea that a page is important if important pages link to it. The original paper f

I think there's also the bias in that it's normal to comply in the first place, and there'd be no fanfare about it.

I've heard a lot more recognition for Apple refusing to comply with unlocking iPhones over the years than any of these other cases.

No issues here on Firefox 146 Fedora/GNOME. Also imagine it's not uncommon for a personal site to not test for Safari if they're not in the Apple ecosystem.

If this were prior to 2021, I would say the CFAA could be violated so long as the property owner's _intentions_ were for that information to only be accessible to certain users. But I think the CFAA has been sufficiently reduced in sco

Ironically, these cameras are marketed to help catch predators walking/driving by playgrounds. What's concerning here is that they're connected to the internet and can be viewed remotely, which said predators would use to kno

I would normally say I’m fine with it if I can turn it off, but making agentic browsing secure is currently an unsolved problem, so I’d have concerns with the risks this will pose for people unaware of the lethal trifecta.

I think you're suggesting a centralized actor to verify the age of users which is problematic on multiple accounts. Practicality, privacy, enforcement, liability to coercion/corruption, and so on. This might be a wild take, but I

I think that's more of an issue of discovery. If I wanted decent fiction, I would actually prefer Apple's catalogue of Sci-Fi shows over anything I can find on Netflix these days. While with Youtube, you can find hidden gems outsi

Their comment would technically be proprietary code since there's no license alongside it, but grishka wrote the original implementation of the reverse engineered code in that mastodon commit in the first place. So I'd imagine it&

Gitlab's post and the linked discussion thread are both from November 24th 2025. I may be misreading the parent comment, but I'm personally thankful there isn't a Return of the Return of Shai-Hulud, as I assumed this was a th

I think it might be more of a Discord problem. I've experienced "a few weird crashes" on Windows, Mac, and Wayland GNOME. Windows being the most problematic in general.

For sure. But the unofficial non-paid mods for Bedrock allow for gambling mechanics, so long as it's not linked to real world currency, which I still find problematic for a game marketed towards kids. Link I posted is from years ago cl

Not OP, but for me I'm wary whenever I see in-game currency (Minecoins). Thankfully there are no gambling mechanics tied in to Minecoins directly, but the server ecosystem is still rampant with gambling just the same[0]. [0] https:&#x

Good regulation is how air travel became the safest method of travel in the past few decades without impeding on innovation or affordability. Bad regulation is when that same regulatory body, the FAA, delegates most of the oversight to the

I imagine it's simply a matter of taking the CSV dataset of prompts from here[0], and prompting an LLM to turn each into a formal poem. Then using these converted prompts as the first prompt in whichever LLM you're benchmarking.

That's correct, but E2EE also allows for unverified devices[0]. Key distribution and device verification are separate issues, and the former doesn't enforce the latter until April 2026 as they've announced in the HN article.

Sorry for the late response; from what I can tell from my experience is that they're good at eliminating the unnecessary information (at least, as best as it can). You can see exactly what is passed in to the chat bot (for me, openweb-

I also resorted to using archive.is when I first visited the page so that I wouldn't need to agree to their data collection for personalization.

You only need to pass the app review once, then you're free to deploy over-the-air updates for as long as you'd like. Though you'd need to use a framework like React Native, Ionic, Flutter, etc which supports it. Essentially

I think RAG is out of favor because models have a much larger context these days, so the loss of information density from vectorization isn't worth it, and doesn't fetch the information surrounding what's retrieved.

On its own, nothing seems out of the ordinary. It's the extremes that La Liga takes to ensure they're getting that 200€/m that makes it insane.

If your Youtube video is 8 minutes or longer (and your channel is monetized), you're able to place midroll ads every minute or so to maximize ad revenue. Typically Youtube only serves a very small fraction of these midroll ads to each
