One mild word of caution on this method. I too have done this forever but recently I have been running into a few businesses that get really upset if their name is in your email address and they will flag it as fraud despite there being no logical reason to do so. It isn't like I am using a domain name matching their name. The most staunch and stubborn of these I ran into recently was The Tractor Supply Company. I've been trying for a month to get a gift card reimbursed that they cancelled the order on because I had their name in the email address. There are a couple gaming companies that do this as well. Just pick a name that is unique and put it in your password database.
Awesome. I am testing HuggingFace's API and evaluating if I should pay for a dev account. I will evaluate Exafunction also, it looks interesting. Specifically, I'm interested in using the multilingual LaBSE model. Do you support this model?
oh yeah interesting
I think this is the category of comment that I've seen downvoted in the past, but it needs to be said:

I wouldn't name a company "malloc".

The meaning is very specific, its usage well established and old, and it would seem to me this company has nothing to do with it and shouldn't claim the name.
Hey Michael, good to hear from you here!

I still have a Sia daemon running but it's not doing much. When the site still ran on Sia I had a lot of issues with the scalability of the Sia daemon. While it's still getting better, it's still not as scalable as I'd like. The team has shifted their focus to building a new decentralized internet and the original Sia software has not seen much development since. I might try their new Skynet daemon in the future to see if it scales any better.

I am still upholding your tradition of benchmarking new Sia releases from time to time. If you're curious, here are the latest results: https://siastats.info/benchmarking

> what does being member of the "bandwidth alliance" mean?

Cloud providers normally have huge profits on egress data ( outgoing) and not incoming data ( to attract giving them your data).

This additionally incentives customers to stay within a certain cloud and not using competing products based on costs ( since egress costs to a 3rd party makes the price difference obsolete)

Cloudflare ( i think) started the bandwidth alliance to make these prices more fair. As in: work together, have direct network connections and reduce customer billing.

While not a site with user generated content, our version of this was a huge increase in spam accounts.

We offer an API with a free tier. So naturally people would create multiple accounts to avoid having to pay.

It's been a huge lesson in rate limiting, IP blocking, and verifying accounts.
Really nice tool to have in the toolbox, thanks for that. For the record I've installed Austin from AUR on Arch and austin-tui was not working (I've pinged the packager about that), and it was not working either with pypi version. It's working if I pipx install directly the git version though.

How does it play with async code?
Why do companies make garbage like this?

It's probably why it's invitation only. Unless it can actually do something useful like say get me a beer from the fridge, then it's just dead on arrival.

one major difference: this is not free unlimited image hosting but paid limited hosting. That reduces "sustainable" abuse vectors quite a bit.
I don't see how Scylla / Cassandra are real-time but ClickHouse is not. You can load event data into ClickHouse just as fast as Cassandra. The data are instantly queryable including pre-computed aggregates in materialized views. You can get answers in milliseconds on data that is only a few second old. Real-time marketing is now an important use case for ClickHouse, just to give one example. If the problem is analyzing and reacting to external events, ClickHouse is tough to beat.

How are Scylla / Cassandra better?
Marketing an always-on face tracking camera with voice recognition enabled microphone as offering "privacy" is really something.
Couldn't this be solved with strategy hint flags if necessary?

I don't understand why you'd have to do task switching in the first place.

You can't mark pointers as unused without locking/syncing because kernel can reallocate pointers in the middle of scanning, no? That's the only reason, isn't it? But in kernel you'd know about it and you could mark unused pointers in single, lock/synchronisation free pass, no? In other words you don't need to stop the world if you are in kernel space because you know about all reallocations that are happening?

I've always found the advertisements at least as interesting as the actual content.
From Google 2018 10-K, page 17 [1]

"New and existing technologies could affect our ability to customize ads and/or could block ads online, which would harm our business.

Technologies have been developed to make customizable ads more difficult or to block the display of ads altogether and some providers of online services have integrated technologies that could potentially impair the core functionality of third-party digital advertising. Most of our Google revenues are derived from fees paid to us in connection with the display of ads online. As a result, such technologies and tools could adversely affect our operating results."

Does anyone know how this compares to Carta?
Yeah, adding my voice. Rescue time (and apps like it) are far too invasive (by necessity) for me to be comfortable with that data being sent remotely. It amounts to the single most invasive spy tool you could possibly install, since it's literally tracking every single thing I do. It doesn't matter how much you pledge to not spy on me, if you have my data you can change your mind at the drop of a hat.

There is literally nothing you can do to earn my trust with that much data - the rest of tech has not just scorched that Earth, they've glassed it. The only thing you can do that would make me consider becoming a customer is cut off your own ability to spy on me - by ensuring my data stays local and you have no access to it.

Editing to add: I considered Rescue Time in the past, used Freedom for a time (until I realized they were sending off my data and what that meant), then used qbserve for a long time. Stopped while ago when I realized I'd stopped looking at it and had stopped feeling like I needed it.
This is about the operation, not about bandwidth the way that I read it. All providers have prices for bandwidth and prices for different "tiers" of operations (store, retrieve, delete, list, etc). The way I read it is that bandwidth is always 100% free, and storage operations are free under a certain threshold. I hope I'm right ;)
Really the future for content moderation are feeds published by site operators and volunteer moderators that individual readers can opt in or out of for filtering.

Relying simply on a central authority to decide what you should be allowed to read is a system with utterly predictable failure modes (not the least of which is too much volume for the centralized mods).

My longest flight so far was 4,5 hours, to the Canary Islands. Europe is smallish (and Canary Islands are already part of Africa, at least geologically!)

But yes, these days I have both, so I might try the next time. I only found a good mask in 2018, though, and I had it imported from the U.S., it had to go through the customs. IDK why, but locally available masks are mediocre.

> a law enforcement system that holds you responsible for something you had no control over when it actually failed to do its own job in this case?

Investigating these issues is their job. They don’t show up assuming the site operator is the guilty party, but they do need their cooperation in collecting evidence so they can pursue the case.

It’s analogous to a crime being committed on your property. They don’t show up to charge the property owner for a crime someone else committed, but they do need access to the property and cooperation for their investigation.
Many initially interesting publications have suffered the same fate. As a more recent example, Ars Technica is getting there.
I get that you're being edgy, but I'll ask a serious question: If we assume this was a design purpose, to what end would it be useful?
Really nice but... wondering how long this will last as a free tool given AWS fees.
What if you want to make two languages cooperate? If they both have their own GC, then you can't garbage collect across language boundaries, which can be annoying. I think this is similar to the microservices debate, where you have either one big transactional database or a bunch of disconnected ones where committing a transaction involving multiple services becomes increasingly difficult.
You could ask the same about Apple Pay: "Is the end Goal to make Apple Pay the only payment method supported on the internet and kill credit card numbers"

Not only is there nothing to support your claim, there's no reason to believe this would be the next step if your claim was accurate. Instead, they'd just...require ID on the internet, it's not like that's not currently possible.
I grew up on a farm where the property has since been divided up and houses built. I remember how my parents were about gasoline for washing paint brushes and old motor oil for painting fences and burning plastics and electronics in the burn barrel. Who knows what happened to pesticide containers. There was a stack of lead pipes I played with occasionally. No idea what pipes were in the house, but it was old, so.

And I totally wonder whether people are growing food there, soaking all of that up.
At this point I'm surprised companies aren't blanket-requiring phone numbers so they have something a little more concrete to ban, much less going whole hog and demanding government-issued ID like drivers' licenses or something.
I can especially echo the "social media fonts" trend. They're quite popular on certain Discord guilds at least.

People have differing opinions of "embedded" but I would claim that most embedded uses cases the stack is actually specified by the programmer via linker scripts and/or manually setting it up during early bootstrap. Plus, its not exactly hard in most of these environments to write target and/or compiler specific macros which detects top of stack and can runtime check it via DEBUG() like macros or modifying function entry macros. None of this is of course portable, but neither is code designed to run in 1-16k of RAM and a few more K of flash.

OTOH, there seem to be a lot of "we don't control anything" IoT devices which are random overly powerful processors with random uboot+linux kernels+rootfs's running my_first_c_program.c level applications. All of it tossed together with very little engineering effort, and frequently less low level knowledge, and left to rot because its basically unmaintainable, even if it happens to be the 1% of devices that can get over the air updates.

This is actually interesting because even though starlink satellites are far less precise than GPS, they are numerous. Which means that they are always visible if you have even a tiny spot of clean sky in any direction. Might come handy navigating in narrow streets and similar conditions.
I'm halfway through The Year of the Flood, loving the trilogy so far. This post also made me think of Toby and old Pilar.
Specifically for the Oculus Go.
Perhaps as a hobbyist device, there's certainly a lot of interesting apps that could be written.

I'm assuming here that it is somehow subsidized (via volume or via data mining) and is cheaper than alternatives.
Interesting. This doesn't sound like that much of a vulnerability itself, but it does help clarify my thinking about SSH security.

Basically, SSH with proper configuration banning password auth is just fine and okay to be exposed to the internet. Extra logs from some failed attempts aren't really a big deal. If you want to make access more secure for it, that's okay, but I'd resist using complex on-server software for that which is likely to be less battle-tested and expose more attack surface. If you must do so, do things that are simple and/or off-server, like run on an alternate port or block network access for control ports at the firewall or security group level from any IP range but the ones you expect to be connecting from.

Ask HN: Is the job market for data scientists saturated?
Moderation is labor and you get what you pay for. Which is not that crowd-moderation cannot work, but that for good crowd-moderation you still have to treat it as a labor pool, have a very good idea of how you are incentivizing/paying for it, and what "metrics/qualities" those incentives are designed to optimize for.

(In some cases it actually is far cheaper to pay a small moderator pool a good wage than to pay an entire community a bad wage to "crowd-moderate" if you actually test the business plan versus alternatives.)
Awesome, I definitely will do! Congratulations for the project, it looks promising.
Is web scraping legal? A guide to help evaluate legality of scraping projects.
The irony comes from the fact that their moderation almost always falls into two categories:

1. They have to moderate the content that got them kicked off the original platform, because it turns out nobody wants to buy ad space on a forum dedicated to why the Jews are responsible for all of the world's evils; and

2. They choose to moderate dissenting political opinions, which is just bald hypocrisy.
This was essentially Willow Garage's pitch with the PR2, like a decade ago. Obviously they were several orders of magnitude off on the price point, but that was the idea— an "appable robot" with standard hardware that everyone would rush to write new capabilities for.

The home is always going to be a nightmare environment for this kind of thing, though— even without the mundane issues of stairs, doorknobs, appliances with varying interfaces, and hazards like pets and clutter, there's just far too much breadth of potential tasks to want it to do.

Later companies understood that zeroing in on a few tasks to do well and repeatedly (delivery, laundry, floor-cleaning, etc), in ADA-compliant environments (hotels, hospitals, airports), was a much less scary place to start.
Did you know the head of the agency had 0 experience in the industry she now oversees? I did not, but I do b/c I clicked the link, and read the article at that time.

But also, seriously, they already allow sideloading on literally every device they've ever put out. They don't stop you from using adb. Rooting is cool and new to the platform, and so are alternate operating systems! But sideloading onto them isn't new.
Good point. It is a bad idea to set up something as lasting as email addresses with a somewhat proprietary solution by two commercial entities and stray from pure standards. Temporary convenience turning into long term lock-in is a poorly understood issue, especially by people that don't necessarily have a technical background.

I have used aliases to catch spam and have gathered about 200 email aliases this way over the last 12 years or so, and it works well. Rather than using a catch-all, I manually create the alias with a script.
Looks good, just curious why they didn't do it 5 years ago when this stuff was still hard.

There is an alpha version of inkscape that runs natively on Mac (without requiring XQuartz). Not without bugs (text seems to give it trouble for some reason, among a few other things), but it works pretty well IMO. Definitely excited to see this moving forward.
In the US, there's an overnight train from DC to Orlando (Disney World). It's popular with families for the same reason - pack your car, drive it into the car carriage, and go catch some sleep. No worry about kids in airports, renting and dealing with child seat installations, etc.
Ah, so you don't find it unethical. Makes sense then you have no qualms accepting your paycheck.

For the record, "capitalist" countries can and do regulate businesses. Those that are democracies do so based on the general interest of the citizenry. Unless you consider anything beyond absolute libertarianism to be "not capitalist". I find these semantic arguments often confuse the issue at hand.

I would love to pay for services that don't track me. You mentioned in another comment it's becoming hard to own a car, have a bank account, insurance, without tracking being baked in. I'm interested in ways we can work to change this. I don't subscribe to your belief that there is no solution, or that the level of tracking involved in the status quo is not "meaningful".
> Having to look at all that stuff, some of which can be very disturbing or shocking

Yup, was the designated person to report all child porn for our photo-sharing website. It was horrific. Some of those images still haunt me today, they were so awful. And the way the reporting to the NCMEC[0] server worked, you had to upload every single image individually. They did not accept zip files or anything at the time. It was a giant web form that would take about forty image files at once.

Before looking at the actual charges, and from the descriptions without actuslly viewing the material, I would have said:

Art. 88 (Contempt for officials),, Art. 89 (Disrespect for superior commissioned officer),
Art. 133 (Conduct unbecoming), and maybe Art. 134 (Conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline), though for the last the preemption doctrine would apply to any conduct that actually fell into the coverage of the other articles.

The actual charges that have been announced are being considered (which weren’t included when the article was first posted) include Art. 88 and 133, as well as two different disobeying-a-lawful-order offenses (Art. 90 and 92.)
I'm not exempt from that but the mere concept of needing help to "improve one's show-watching habits" should make anyone pause and reflect.

>If your monthly egress data transfer is greater than your active storage volume, then your storage use case is not a good fit for Wasabi’s free egress policy

> However, even if SPF failed, and DKIM is passed, it can still be trust worthy.

Yes. The problem is that some senders use SPF+DMARC, but not DKIM. It is fundamentally impossible to forward emails from these senders in a way that will look valid to the recipient.

> if the mail server support ARC(which gmail, for example, does) we can append our ARC so mail provider can look into it to investigate email forwarding chain

The problem with ARC is that just adding the header does nothing on its own; the recipient must also trust the forwarder to provide legitimate authentication results. ARC does not provide any mechanism for that trust to be extended automatically. So unless GMail makes a manual, conscious, explicit business decision to trust Cloudflare, an ARC header added by Cloudflare won't have any effect on GMail recipients.
Cloudflare Pages locks you into git-based deployment, which isn't always practical, especially for sites that are heavy with images and other non-text static assets. I don't want to use git to manage the images for my website and I don't want to have to pay Github every month for Git LFS storage and bandwidth costs.
