I built Rewizo after realizing how many “make money online” platforms were either too complex, full of crypto schemes, or just outright scams.

The idea is simple: connect users with real, verified offers from partners and give them a clean, honest way to earn a little side income. No surveys, no crypto, no selling anything.

It’s very early — we just pushed it live a few days ago. Would love honest feedback, especially from HN folks: What would make something like this more trustworthy? What red flags do you see?

Happy to answer any questions!

You are correct, it is not the same project. That's a name collision with a 2002 paper.

To your original question on the benefits over a standard AEAD:

For stateless encryption, our `ariadne-etm` crate offers no major advantage. The core protocol, however, is a programmable, stateful cryptographic engine. This enables new protocol designs.

For example:

1. Smarter Transport Layers. The Labyrinth can be a public parameter derived from a server's key. This allows building in features like proof-of-work for DoS resistance or cryptographic watermarks for traitor-tracing directly into the transport layer.

2. Verifiable Stateful Computation. The architecture allows proving that a secret, stateful program was honestly executed over a verifiable duration. The program's execution path leaves an irreversible "scar" on a one-time-use Labyrinth, creating a commitment to the entire computational history.

The point isn't to replace AES. It's a new foundation for different kinds of cryptographic systems.

AI can very efficiently apply common patterns to vast amounts of code, but it has no inherent "idea" of what it's doing.

Here's a fresh example that I stumbled upon just a few hours ago. I needed to refactor some code that first computes the size of a popup, and then separately, the top left corner.

For brevity, one part used an "if", while the other one had a "switch":

if (orientation == Dock.Left || orientation == Dock.Right) size = /* horizontal placement */ else size = /* vertical placement */ var point = orientation switch { Dock.Left => ... Dock.Right => ... Dock.Top => ... Dock.Bottom => ... };

I wanted the LLM to refactor it to store the position rather than applying it immediately. Turns out, it just could not handle different things (if vs. switch) doing a similar thing. I tried several variations of prompts, but it very strongly leaning to either have two ifs, or two switches, despite rather explicit instructions not to do so.

It sort of makes sense: once the model has "completed" an if, and then encounters the need for a similar thing, it will pick an "if" again, because, well, it is completing the previous tokens.

Harmless here, but in many slightly less trivial examples, it would just steamroll over nuance and produce code that appears good, but fails in weird ways.

That said, splitting tasks into smaller parts devoid of such ambiguities works really well. Way easier to say "store size in m_StateStorage and apply on render" than manually editing 5 different points in the code. Especially with stuff like Cerebras, that can chew through complex code at several kilobytes per second, expanding simple thoughts faster than you could physically type them.

For important context, Pakistan is Iran's neighbor. Can you not see why nukes in Iran is a concern?

And if Israel could use a nuke without nuclear retaliation in turn, they would proceed to annihilate half a continent. Once you get hit, it's far too late to retaliate.

Pakistan is establishing preemptive MAD in defense of barrier states, because if Israel does this, they're effectively already dead; they'll have nothing to lose. Israel can call it a bluff, but I personally think they're serious.

As a final consideration, if Israel drops nukes on Iran and is retaliated upon, the US is absolutely not going to start a global thermonuclear war and end all of humanity on their behest. Nor would China ever allow the US to get away with an counter invasion of Pakistan, leaving little other option.

That's his point? Greenpace wants AI datacenters to be built with clean energy. elpocko points out that plenty of other pointless electricity consumers also aren't being built with clean energy today. That's not an argument against green energy, but is pointing out that greenpace isn't very rigorous with their pleas. They're seemingly picking whatever is the most topical. We should be against this, because latching on to the latest thing basically guarantees that the next thing rolls around, all the momentum will be lost. Remember when everyone was up in arms about crypto mining? How it's barely brought up because everyone's focused on AI.

I don't think the author of this article is making any strong prediction, in fact I think a lot of the article is a critique of whether such an extrapolation can be done meaningfully.

Most of these models predict superhuman coders in the near term, within the next ten years. This is because most of them share the assumption that a) current trends will continue for the foreseeable future, b) that “superhuman coding” is possible to achieve in the near future, and c) that the METR time horizons are a reasonable metric for AI progress. I don’t agree with all these assumptions, but I understand why people that do think superhuman coders are coming soon.

Personally I think any model that puts zero weight on the idea that there could be some big stumbling blocks ahead, or even a possible plateau, is not a good model.

They intentionally chose a Qualcomm QCM6490 for the FP5 instead of the rumoured Snapdragon because Qualcomm will offer longer support for that chipset (which is supposed to be used for IoT/industrial applications). We don't know what chip is in the new one yet, all we have is rumours, but I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled the same "Snapdragon but industrial" trick here.

Many mainline supported SOCs are unavailable to a company like Fairphone, which only produces a tiny amount of phones (less than 50k for the latest and greatest model). CPU manufacturers aren't going to waste time sending their top-end chips to some small company when Samsung can pay more per CPU and can take shipping containers full of them. That's also why F(x)tec phones come out with such outdated processors. Small companies will have to make do with whatever niche products are for sale in low quantities.

> Judge denies creating “mass surveillance program” harming all ChatGPT users

What a horribly worded title.

A judge rejected the creation of a mass surveillance program?

A judge denied that creating a mass surveillance program harms all ChatGPT users?

A judge denied that she created a mass surveillance program, and its creation (in the opinion of the columnist) harms all ChatGPT users?

The judge's act of denying resulted in the creation of a mass surveillance program?

The fact that a judge denied what she did harms all ChatGPT users?

(After reading the article, it's apparently the third one.)

We're so back. Another quagmire war in the middle east. Exactly what we needed.

For whatever you feel about WMDs or the justification for the Iraq war, the facts are we spent almost two decades in the first go round, found no WMDs, killed a dictator we installed, blew up a shit ton of infrastructure, rebuild a shit ton of it, killed probably millions of innocent people, absolutely blew up the Taliban and later ISIS's recruitment numbers, made ourselves look fucking stupid on the global stage, then pulled out, leaving billions in military materiel to be claimed by the people we were ostensibly there to stop.

An utter fucking farce, and we have learned absolutely nothing. Time to send more young men to die.

The amount of data this thing will be putting out every night is insane. For years now the community has been building the infrastructure to be able to efficiently consume it for useful science, but we still have work to do. Anyone interested in the problem of pipelining and distributing 10s of TB of data a night should check out the LSST and related GitHubs.

>Xboxes, smartphones, and personal computers are geographically distributed and so is their power generation.

This is irrelevant because most "Xboxes, smartphones, and personal computers" are powered by centralized fossil fuel power plants that could plausibly be replaced with nuclear reactors, just like the power plant for a datacenter can be replaced with nuclear reactors.

> they denied inspectors, blatantly lied on the reports for many years.

For many years the IAEA vacillated between praising and and admonishing the Iraqi's for their cooperation or lack thereof.

> It was all way too suspicious

Yea, for _both_ sides. There was clearly more politics being played in these deals than anyone let be known.

> Who knows, maybe there were really no WMDs

There really were no WMDs. They have a shelf life. They expire. There was some evidence they did exist but were likely long gone. Hans Blix was pretty clear on this. This angered the CIA so greatly they made him a target to undermine him. It didn't work.

This is recent history and how quickly it is forgotten.

It doesn't look like this report really identifies the root causes...

I would like to see: "We have simulated the complete 200 and 400 kV grid of the iberian peninsula and western europe, and can reproduce the situation that occurred. Any one of the following changes would have prevented the issue, and we suggest implementing them all for redundancy. This simulation will be re-run every day from now on to identify future cases similar incidents could occur"

It's my understanding that houses in Japan are zoned to allow a percentage of the space to be used for a low-impact business, like the coffee shop in the article, and that bigger businesses are allowed on the bigger roads and in dedicated commercial/industrial districts. Also most houses can be converted to triplexes, too. This helps with density, encouraging more businesses nearby, less need for cars, better quality of social life, etc.

I see what you mean about the potential for abuse - maybe Big Money would buy all the houses and run small businesses from them? But regulations or taxes could be used to dissuade them. Theoretically, anyways.

I wondered if Japan does anything along those lines to avoid the problems you mentioned, but google ain't what it used to be and I wasn't able to find specifics.

I guess I'm missing it. You linked to wikipedia which says it's called "Oil Fund" (Oljefondet). Further down it says "As of June 2011, it was the largest pension fund in the world, but it is not a pension fund in the conventional sense, as it derives its financial backing from *oil profits*, not pension contributions"

> the US produces many, many times more oil each year than Norway, so your argument is a complete non sequitur.

The US isn't funding health care through oil profits. If it was going to fund public health care (which it does) it does it through taxes.

You basically have a free money fountain and get free stuff it (while you burn down the rest of th world) and then you come on here and say "things are great over hear! surprised they aren't great over there" without acknowledging that you have a free money source.

I believe most of the time this phrase is said to an inexperienced artisan who has no idea how the current system works, what's the shortcoming of it, and how to improve upon it. Think of an undergraduate student who tries to solve the Goldbach conjecture. Usually what ended up is either he fails to reinvent the wheel, or reinvent the exact same wheel, which has no value. The phrase certainly does not apply to professionals.

yup, agreed- worth going over the non tl;dr (sufficient to say the tl;dr misses some good juice, but thats what the page in full is for).

i was sorta curious on the policy changes over time, since botghost has been around since '18. all i can say is good luck to botgost

histories of policies-ish:

- from the tl;dr (they also explain #4 as well in the non-tl;dr):

> Discord issued a breach notice to BotGhost, claiming the platform violates Developer Policy 4 by handling bot tokens, which has been a core part of how BotGhost has worked since 2018.

- policy from discrap: https://support-dev.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/8563934450...

> 4. Do not collect, solicit, or deceive users into providing passwords or other credentials. Under no circumstances may you or your Application request or attempt to obtain login credentials from Discord users. This includes information such as passwords or account access or login tokens.

- policy in 2022 (of that page, but note the random digits in the numbers make it terrible to easily see history), thanks archive.org!: https://web.archive.org/web/20221001073449/https://support-d...

> Do not collect, solicit, or deceive users into providing user login credentials. Under no circumstances may you or your Application solicit, obtain, or request login credentials from Discord users in any way. This includes information such as passwords or user access or login tokens.

- and archive.org of github of the before 2022 change (mentioned in the above archive) (does not really mention collecting of user auths - as per my quick glance [i welcome a double check]): https://web.archive.org/web/20220921062136/https://github.co...

Did you statically link Glibc...? Or is this with a non-GNU libc?

Either way, it probably is true that this 2.2MiB number would be smaller on, say, Debian 5. And much smaller on PDP Unix.

Don't worry, some news outlets will summarize this as "renewables = bad" regardless of what the report actually says.

Oh wait, they already did: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/06/18/renewable-en...

Social distancing dates back literally to the 14th century dude. It is a standard tool in the contagion toolbox. The null hypothesis is that you would apply it to this contagion too until you have evidence otherwise.

No, he told us the number 6 "just appeared," as compared to the numbers 5 or 7.

> You can read these papers for yourself to see how motivated the reasoning is.

Please link to said papers.

Again, you're just wrong on all the facts. There are plenty of good reasons to have defaulted to social distancing. Not only was this logical at the time, but all evidence still points to it having been the correct decision in retrospect. I know you're in the habit of simply dismissing countervailing evidence, i.e. you've decided to give up on yourself, but there is literally centuries of evidence behind social distancing.

The fact that people caught COVID while far away from each other literally isn't even a dent in this body of evidence. And I don't mean that because it's weak evidence against it, but that it's not even evidence against it. Nothing about the social distancing hypothesis suggests one cannot get sick at a distance.

> I can absolutely believe that someone with a lifetime mastery of one of those tools could smoke a VSCode user

> And this stuff compounds, you get a bit better at the tools and you can read more code faster, read the right code faster, start moving the derivative of the derivative.

I think you're overestimating how much tool choice impacts developer productivity.

Yes, using good tools is important. Being comfortable with and knowing your way around your toolset will make your life easier. But it won't make you a better programmer. It won't "smoke" anyone else. It's not a competition.

The time we spend reading and writing code is relatively minor compared to the time we spend thinking, designing, communicating, and collaborating with others. Reading and writing code is not the productivity bottleneck. It's understanding what you're reading, making a mental model of the system, and thinking about how to translate your thoughts into working code. The mechanical aspects of it are relatively insignificant. Especially nowadays when we have LLMs to automate those mechanical parts, for better or worse.

These companies charge money for their services and have competitors. AWS’ entire business models is providing developer services, and if I don’t like their offerings I can go elsewhere.

Discord, Twitter, Reddit, etc. that have become hostile to third parties have free APIs to reel in developers to make their platform more attractive to users, and once they’ve reached critical mass, they turn around and fuck over those developers. This is because their primary business model is serving their users, and developers eventually “get in the way”.

So the person you’re replying to should add an addendum: never build your app/business on top of third parties IF their primary business models aren’t providing services to developers.

Here's a good timeline:

https://chatgpt.com/share/6859c708-e53c-8002-bbdb-14150cb4d0...

The upshot is that the US terminated the deal in 2019 and then the Iranians started "racing" for a bomb.

Before you think the nuclear deal was good, I have to ask: Do you think it's ok for a nation to get sanctions relief, even though they are being a bad actor on the world stage, just in return for "not making a bomb"?

It seems a bit like holding the world hostage. There are other ways to stop the bomb program, as we have now seen. The diplomatic solution grants Iran permission to destabilize the region by funding Hamas, Hezbollah, etc.

I'm pretty ok bombing hostile religious fanatics trying to develop nuclear weapons. It doesn't feel good but sometimes we have to do things that don't feel good.

Mindblowing! This is 100x VB6. The generated UIs are beautiful and professional. I am still trying it out and building an app for tracking expenses but it is working very well. The conversational dialogue it has with the developer is just fantastic. I am amazed at how clear the user experience was in Chris' mind. I am not sure what LLM is being used but this is better experience than any LLM. Given this is first version, I look forward to what comes next!

Few issues:

1. The 150 message limit is understable but it suddenly pops up and you lose significant work. I was working on UI mockup and just as I had finished and was ready to go on implementation, this limit appeared and significant part of my work was lost. 2. After the first credit, the credit seems to exhaust pretty fast which makes it expensive, especially when you are trying it out. 3. Also I don't understand when you ask it to prototype different screens, why does it overwrites the same file. 4. It is not able to stop to seek user feedback but keeps trying different approach which kind of exhausts the credit. It would be nice if it describes its approach, so the human developer can provide their feedback. 5. It seems it is using OpenAI because it is often self-congratulatory to the point of being annoying sometimes.

I like the concept of unrelated modifications remaining under warranty. That seems reasonable and also, crucially, amenable to the usual "Would a reasonable person say that damage X increases the chances of damage Y occurring?" type of test.

I don't like the "intended for general purpose computing" concept so much. For one, it seems to offer lots of easy wiggle room to manufacturers: Just say that your product is not intended for that, but for something marginally more specific. For another, it's not clear to me why general purpose computing ought to enjoy consumer protections that other manufactured devices do not. (One exception I'd grant is for safety reasons: If tinkering with a device could make it cause injury, fine, that device can be in a different class.)

This is like arguing that a kid will have more friends if they are allowed to smoke because everyone else does and it is a common social activity.

I do not have a phone and have lots of friends I see frequently, in person.

A kid will be able to form a small number of close friendships without a smartphone too.

Will they be able to have hundreds of "friends" in a parasocial relationship? No. Feature, not a bug.

I would never allow a minor to agree to the terms of service of any bytedance zuck products just as I would not give a kid cigarettes or vapes.

Knowingly exposing a kid to highly addictive harmful things is child abuse.

True, but the market moves fast because renewables (or, more precisely, wind & solar) move fast.

There is not much fast trading to be done on a nuke/gas/coal/hydro powerplant ramping up or down, but there is a lot of instability (and thus market volatility) to be found in fast varying solar/wind conditions.

I beg to differ on the normal people at prime rates. There are definitely many many people who got mortgages at 2.65% for 30 years and many many people who received auto loans at 2-3% from a lender unsubsidized from the manufacturer.

I think it's totally insane from a lender point of view to lock yourself in for 30 years at 2.65% and makes very little sense.

What's amazing with "vibe coding" is the number of non tecchie who now decide they want to code. They understand that a new tool is on the block and they realize how it could help their business but they also realize that to really harness this superpower you need to code.

So out of nowhere both my brother and my wife, without concerting themselves (they don't live on the same continent), are now taking coding lessons. Not AI related: just learning to code in Python.

And suddenly I'm winning lots of cookie points: my wife realizes that coding is not something that's that simple and that it's really the coders who have it easy with AI.

As for the AI boom: it's another tool. I use it daily (and pay for it). But it's still just a tool.

Wake me up when 95% of Linux's kernel code is written by an AI.
