TL;DR: Chrome introduced a new feature that in certain scenarios blocks "private network" access which in turn break CORS unless you grant the "Local network access" permission (!!!) on the website.

In this particular case, GH Actions didn't show the logs because those are stored on Azure Blob storage - which was routed via the VPN in our setup, and since the IP is considered "private network" by Chrome it gets blocked unless the user gives an explicit additional. Safari and Firefox were fine.

Show HN: Pytest-httpdbg – a simple way to include HTTP traces in Allure reports
by cle-b | 2025-11-11 14:39:58+00:00
Hi HN,

I recently updated my pytest plugin based on httpdbg to include the HTTP traces directly in the Allure reports. As with httpdbg, the idea is to have nothing more to do than to add an argument to your command line: --httpdbg-allure.

For example:

pytest examples/pytest_demo.py --alluredir=./allure-results --httpdbg-allure

For each test, all HTTP requests will be recorded and saved in the Allure report under a step named httpdbg.

You can check the README in the repository to see how it looks: https://github.com/cle-b/pytest-httpdbg?tab=readme-ov-file#c... (the compact mode is quite simple, but the full mode is identical to the httpdbg UI).

I hope this will be helpful for some of you :) Any feedback is welcome.

If you enjoy using httpdbg, don’t hesitate to check out the Git repository to discover new features — and give it a star to help make it more visible.

The argument you are making here is incredibly disingenuous.

The facts matter. Tim Peters did not behave badly. The reasoning given for his suspension misrepresented the apparent evidence, vaguely alluded to unproven private activity, and alleged harm in clearly benign actions.

Tim Peters preserved many of his removed posts, along with other relevant information, on a blog (https://tim-one.github.io/) which was largely following my lead in writing about my own prior ban from the forum (https://zahlman.github.io/posts/2024/07/31/an-open-letter-to... ; https://zahlman.github.io/posts/2024/08/10/open-letter-psf-c...) and preserving my own related deleted posts (https://zahlman.github.io/dpo_archive/). It's clear to me, from reading everything (much of which I saw pre-deletion; and also including things that were left up) that at least part of what people objected to in Mr. Peters' "conduct" is that he defended me (despite having many ideological disagreements with me).

I claim that I, too, did not behave badly. In particular, in "recommending" my ban, the Code of Conduct Work Group (which is unelected, and has considerable crossover with paid PSF staff; and to my understanding gets paid in some circumstances for code of conduct enforcement work even as the actual core developers are almost all volunteers) made bizarre mischaracterizations of my complaints — going so far as to falsely ascribe to me terminology that I do not use on principle.

You, specifically, should know about these sorts of things because you comment in these discussions all the time. For example, you participated in https://discuss.python.org/t/shedding-light-on-a-three-month... and your posts there demonstrate intimate familiarity with the situation, with quotes like "I suppose I have to point out that “This whole debacle…” wasn’t referring to just Tim personally and not just this one bylaw change but rather referring to, well, gestures to the last two months." (I remember reading that post, not logged in of course, back when you made it.)

You have seen the list of charges in https://discuss.python.org/t/three-month-suspension-for-a-co... so I think you reasonably should understand my position: to the extent that the referents of any of these actions were ever identified, the description is either nonsense or does not point at anything any reasonable person could consider actionable. If you disagree, please be concrete. The entire reason for the "endless litigation" you have repeatedly complained about is the lack of anyone on your side making any clear, understandable argument that anything Tim Peters did at any point was actually wrong. The closest I've seen to such an argument comes from ... Tim Peters (https://tim-one.github.io/psf/meaculpa), and frankly I think it's far too self-effacing.

I almost saw this movie last night

https://thefilmstage.com/john-lilly-and-the-earth-coincidenc...

but we had a visitor at home and enough to deal with. I read Lilly's books like

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Center_of_the_Cyclone

and they were a bit of a hoot as he nearly killed himself multiple times injecting LSD and then testified that LSD was perfectly safe. I've known a few people, all male, who took LSD and developed a sort of "messiah complex" where they felt not a general spiritual "sacrament" experience but rather the opposite and some kind of hypertrophy of narcissism like the 'False Self' that Kohut warns about.

The article mentions 2-C-T-2 which I got in Europe which I understand was the closest people got to a commercially viable psychedelic in that it has a nice stimulant effect (easy walk from the German border to Děčín) and very nice visuals but seems to have little cosmic element so you are sitting on the toilet and feeling like a constipated sinner and that's about it.

Myself I don't have a lot of interest in LSD and company these days because for a while every time I take it it makes me aware of how I have many more nerve endings in my gut than I have on my skin so I feel turned inside out which isn't quite a "bad trip" but isn't very good either. Best thing that happened the last time was I laid down in the leaf litter and watched a pair of snakes having sex but I later picked four ticks off myself.

“이/가” is the Korean version of this. It depends on the sound of the word that precedes.

I still remember seeing it when I first started using Windows 95. As a kid, I was amused that it didn’t know which one to use. Really, I didn’t even know that I was making that choice (and couldn’t say what the rule was).

> We just haven't seen AI create a service or product people really value and will pay for.

That's not something you have to worry about because the risk is taken primarily by the companies themselves. ChatGPT has around 800 million weekly active users. That is humongous, considering such a new technology.

I wonder what your stance would be if the companies do start making profit and become rich through data centres. If that happens are you okay? Because I see that also a problem that people propose - companies getting too rich and extracting wealth. What’s the ideal situation?

In any case, I find this anti infra building a bit annoying if I may be direct. People want AI. Data centres are built to meet the demand. Profits are likely.
Show HN: We built a node to use Hugging Face Spaces without writing API code
by vinserello | 2025-11-11 14:41:49+00:00
I'm one of the creators of Datastripes, a visual data analysis builder. We've been building out our platform and kept running into a recurring pain point: we wanted to quickly prototype workflows that involved AI models from the Hugging Face ecosystem, but it always meant dropping out of our visual editor to write a Python script or a JS client to call the Gradio API. It killed the "flow" of building.

So we decided to solve it by building a "Hugging Face Space" node directly into our tool. You give it the URL of any public, Gradio-based Hugging Face Space (e.g., user/space-name), and the node does the rest.

<< “Oh, most wise GPT, please take these words into the heart of your GPU cluster.”

Amusingly, I was doing some mild chatting with gpt on origins of various religious practices and, depending on the next few years, the quote from article may not seem that far fetched. There is already a level of dumbing down process that was present prior to LLMs entering the scene, but that process has been heavily accelerated.

Don't get me wrong, I actually like LLMs. I am, however, mildly hesitant over the impact on humanity as a whole. This is likely the first time where I consider idiocracy to be a plausible outcome.

You're asserting that they're unscientific by sampling some random signatories.

Looking through the signatories a bit closer there's a bunch of comp-sci professors and phd's, some of them had been working directly with neural network based methods, bunch of other that are in adjacent fields related to speech systems I encountered during my studies that have been upended by neural networks so they should also have a fair grasp of what capabilities have been added over the years.

One of the papers listed in the letter you linked to does seem to cut directly to the argument that there's a correlation in the data LLM's store that give people an exaggerated view of AI's capabilities by successfully encoding knowledge data.

I do agree that we shouldn't base policy on unscientific claims, and that's the main crux, since Der Leyens's statements mostly seems to be parroting Altmans hype (and Altman is primarily an executive with a vested interest in keeping up the valuation of OpenAI to justify all the investments).

Awww... I was so much hoping for an iPhone that will fit into my pocket. The 1st iPhone SE was the perfect form factor. But no, Apple's phones just had to grow and grow and grow like cancer ...

In my opinion, the fact that Apple is now selling a bag to carry your oversized phone around in, is an admission that they failed to make phones that are convenient to carry.

I was just talking to my wife about this, literally 5 minutes ago. I just moved from the 13 mini to the Air and am hating that it doesn't comfortably fit in my jeans, to the point where I might go return it today. My young cousin was wearing her iPhone on a cross body sling, and I was commenting that we've gotten to the point where the phones are so big that you need bags or extra things to carry it comfortably.

I went to a psychiatrist to be evaluated for ADHD. He diagnosed me with anxiety, saying that being anxious made it hard for me to focus.

Uh.

I went to another doc who diagnosed me with and started treating me for ADHD. Boom. Anxiety gone. Turns out I was just super anxious about having a hard time working on the un-shiny things I needed to be working on.

I've grown very fond of having shaders available for my retro games.

I suspect having shader plugins for TV and movie watching will become a thing.

"The input is supposed to be 24 FPS, so please find those frames from the input signal. Use AI to try to remove compression artifacts. Regrade digital for Kodak 35mm film. Then, flash each frame twice, with blackness in-between to emulate how movie theaters would project each frame twice. Moderate denoise. Add film grain."

I don't actually know what kind of filters I'd want, but I expect some people will have very strong opinions about the best way to watch given movies. I imagine browsing settings, like browsing user-contributed Controller settings on Steam Deck...

There is something I don’t entirely understand about psychedelic use. While it might end up being temporary, there is a lot of data that it alters neural structures in fundamental and relatively poorly understood ways. Consciousness itself is very poorly understood. Why take a chemical that is a bit like rolling the dice on how it’s going to modify fundamentally what you are? If you are struggling with severe depression or anxiety or otherwise, I get it… but in most other cases, why? I post this as someone deeply curious about trying them, yet my mind and intellect are things I cherish when it comes to my enjoyment of life.

No, the edited wording still conveys the same meaning. My edit was to fix another grammar typo.

The social networks are distributing such content AND benefiting from selling ads on them. Adding ads on top is a derivative work.

Personally I'm on the side of penalizing the side that provides the input, not the output:

- OpenAI training on copyrighted works. - Users requesting custom works based on copyrighted IP

That is my opinion on how it should be layered, that's it. I'm happy to discuss why it should be that way or why not. As I put in other comment, my concern is that mandating copyright filtering o each generative tool would end up propagating to every single digital tool, which as society we don't really want.

I care a lot about the environment. It seems obvious that there is an impact, but it seems relatively small- something that if it wasn’t AI would be counted as a rounding error by many.

People keep raising AI’s environmental impact to me as a concern, and I’m open to learning more, but at this point it seems potentially even long term neutral if it really does insert the efficiencies to productivity that many claim it will.

For example: look up the co2 impacts of gas powered lawn equipment. By one number I found that in 2020 it released 30 million tons of co2 in the US alone. Yet, when this equipment was coming into popularity no one expressed the moral panic they are over AI.

I know people who will stomp around about how AI is bad, and then go use their gas powered leaf blower for a few hours.

(Cough) Abstraction and separation of concerns.

In Toy Story's case, the digital master should have had "correct" colors, and the tweaking done in the transfer to film step. It's the responsibility of the transfer process to make sure that the colors are right.

Now, counter arguments could be that the animators needed to work with awareness of how film changes things; or that animators (in the hand-painted era) always had to adjust colors slightly.

---

I think the real issue is that Disney should know enough to tweak the colors of the digital releases to match what the artists intended.

>But we are creating all this new demand for natural gas that is going to do nothing but drive up the price for everybody. This isn't just data centers. It's the policy of massively increasing LNG exports; and

Can't you make the same argument about anything consuming a scarce resource? Airplanes suck they use oil and make gas prices more expensive for drivers! Amazon sucks because their delivery trucks use oil and make gas more expensive for drivers! Of course, you can argue that airplanes and amazon provide some sort of value and therefore it's worth the consumption/price rises, but that just ends up being a roundabout way of saying "I hate airplanes" or whatever.

Decades long C programmer here. C is hard to parse. The thing is, you get used to it and then it feels like it is normal, but it really isn't. Not as bad as Perl, but pretty bad. And it is easy to construct one liners that are tricky to understand, I think C is the only language that has an obfuscation contest that keeps turning up gems year after year.

I feel the same way about wasteful software. I've spent most of my career working for people who would rather I sit idle and do nothing at all than "waste" valuable programmer time trying to optimize our software. We have websites that load slowly, downloading gigabytes of unused and useless scripts that nobody has the courage to remove because nobody remembers why it was put there in the first place.

Good lord the misinformation here.

VHS is a composite signal on the tape itself. Composite for sake of this thread means black and white detail plus color information. S-VHS has higher bandwidth in the luma (detail) but the same limited color bandwidth. And there are two audio standards. But there is no "RGB out."

At a minimum you want a device with S-Video out (it keeps the two signals on separate wires). You also need a time base corrector. These come in two forms. One is line-based sometimes built into DVD players. This is how Jason Scott at Internet Archive does it and it's wrong.

The other form of corrector requires a separate box and corrects each frame in full. Many boxes claim to be time base correctors but are not. They are "synchronizers" or amps. Don't buy until you understand the differences.

There are two time sources (not really clocks) in a VCR. The first is physical tape wobbling and stretching over a head that's spinning far faster than seems possible. Line TBC is a tiny buffer that reconstructs the sync of the luma on each line.

The other timing source is the overall signal sync. A proper TBC reconstructs this overall sync on a frame by frame basis and presents something sane to the capture card. Without it you'll drop frames silently, audio falls out of sync, and all the other crap that happens when you try to watch video older than an iPhone. Consumer video capture is total crap and you won't see it until you try to encode, edit, or watch it on a different device. And then you'll be very confused working back to the original problem.

But follow this careful path where you actually capture a clean, proper signal and feed it into even the cheapest Blackmagic box and you're good.

ChatGPT will walk you through this and seems to know more about proper ffmpeg settings than the developers themselves or 30,000 conflicting StackOverflow messages on the topic.

I concur with https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45886850, the article doesn’t actually spell out what the “Write Last, Read First” rule is supposed to say. The name of the rule also isn’t great, because it leaves open what to write to/read from, and doesn’t even suggest that there might be several systems to write to/read from, which however is essential to the rule.

https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/rainbow-trap-9781350429680/

which talks about the harm that labels do to people with variant sexual and identity and makes the case that "transgender-cisgender" is itself a binary that divides and obscures the truth. Similarly, "non-binary" creates a binary. 20 years ago you have have an alternative gender expression and maybe have some challenges but today it may be harder rather than easier because people are polarized about it.

The long strap version is too short on that model. Purse straps hang to hip level for a reason. Hanging at the hip makes reaching in substantially more ergonomic.

Which academic theories are you talking about?

The US and Russia aren't under any kind of socialist system right now but suffer from the things you just described as socialism shortcomings.

France was socialist for a long time and did not suffer any of what you just mentioned.

The only thing that isn't validated by reality is your over simplified mental model of what socialism is.

I happen to have kids and have always spent about 30 min a day, more like an hour, every day, looking at some side coding side projects. Being doing that before I was dad, now less since I am. But I still do. I'm past 50 now and I must admit the quantity of work I put out on side projects have decreased.

Side projects requires passion, not discipline, not effort, just passion. And that's what I'm looking for. When you like what you do you're generally good a it.

Now, I have hired people who don't have side projects, of course, they're not that common but not rare neither. And the side project question is sure not the main question. But that's a cool differentiator.

Moreover, questioning people on their side project is always more fun for them.

And of course, people with side project sometimes day dream so you have to keep them busy :-)

And having a github repo is a 15 minutes job. And most of the time, nobody will care about your side project. It's not like your marketing yourself. As I have said, I don't care about the stars. Just looking at what you do on the side, what interests you in a domain that is not far away from your job.

And side projects are always cool: I have interviewed people who were working on their game engine, planet trajectories, web sites for friends, playing with machine learning, writing little tools like Javadoc,...

I'd argue their brand might be too strong, ChatGPT has already begun to enter the same semantic space as "Velcro". Everyone I know seems to have tried it yet quickly you begin to realize that for most people ChatGPT == LLM, it seems everyone is using "ChatGPT" on completely different platforms.

In the end, regardless of technical understanding, people will always shop around on price if the feature set is similar enough I suppose.

I think your definition of "understood" is too narrow and perhaps that is your challenge. People have been taking many of these substances (e.g. psilocybin, THC, DMT, etc.) for thousands of years. Their qualitative, long-term effects are extremely well understood by the cultures and peoples that use them. My assumption is that you are WEIRD (forgive me if I am wrong), and the tendency we have is to disregard any data that wasn't created in a Western lab.

The interesting thing about it is that the signs suggest that 'the rich' are prepping for such an outcome ( you will see occasional article here and there about bunkers being bought ). Naturally, if one was to suggest that maybe we could try working towards some sort of semblance of 'new new deal', they would be called some sort of crazy person, who is a communist and hates democracy ( as opposed to simply trying to save the system from imploding ).

Counting just private jet flight about 200 Elons (5kt CO2/y). Some people are even higher, and large yachts are worse than business jets I'd assume.

But I'd say that people tend to actually overestimate the share of super-rich; ten thousand normal US citizens emit more than a single billionaire, and there's not that many billionaires.
