Privacy pass uses [VOPRFs]( https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-irtf-cfrg-voprf/ ) with the express goal of avoiding tracking, so all this talk about "targeted harassment" is a bit much.

Further, SHA-256 operates on the same principle as well (repeated iterations of a one-way compression function, called a Merkle-Damgard iterative construction[1]). Learning how MD5 works is quite instructive in that regard. [1] https:&#x2F

It's interesting to see this statement. When it comes to Copilot, many HNers share the sentiment that it has copied code from open-source projects without their permission. However, when it comes to a different group such as artists, t

A more practical way I have gone around resetting things on Youtube is to search for stuff that I am genuinely interested in appearing in my feed, build a playlist off of that, and leave it playing. After a while, the algorithm "gets i

My guess is they're they'll use Imagen and LaMDA to build a "conversational" search experience of some kind. So, instead of providing a list of websites to go to, they'll synthesize an answer to the search query, wi

This is a very charitable interpretation of corporate behavior, but perhaps one reason this could have been implemented is to enable support teams to detect if it's installed on a system. As with anything though, it could be abused by

Adding your own DoH server has always been possible, see for example https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/setup/android/ though you can add an adblocking server in its place.

You'd think Nutanix would have the brains to change the names of the deployed binaries, which brings up an interesting question. How do you detect license violation if the violator has replaced the brand name across the codebase?
