From the described mistakes two come from lack of understanding how exactly DNS works. But I agree it's in fact hard, see [1]).

1. "This strict DNS spec enforcement will reject a CNAME record at the apex of a zone (as per RFC-2181), including the APEX of a sub-delegated subdomain. This was the reason that customers using VPN providers were disproportionately"
- This is non intuitive and maay people are surprised by that. You cannot create any subdomain (even www.domain.tld) if you created "domain.tld CNAME something...". Looks like not every server/resolver enforces that restriction.

2. "based on expert advice, our understanding at the time was that DS records at the .com zone were never cached, so pulling it from the registrar would cause resolvers to immediately stop performing DNSSEC validation." - like any other record, they can be cached. DNS has also negative caching (caching of "not found responses". Moreover there are resolvers that allow configuring minimum TTL that can be higher that what your NS servers returns (like unbound - "cache-min-ttl" option) or can be configured to serve stale responses in case of resolution failures after the cached data expires [2]. That means returning TTL of "1s" will not work as you expect.

You think you've got it, and though that may seem obvious I must set you straight even if it scares you as much as it does me: it is the other way around; those are mere reflections ultimately under their control (as much as anyone controls their beliefs).
It's definitely not only his perception. Most men don't want to talk about their issues publicly with strangers, who might not even be health care professionals.

You mention training models... Do you want to donate them to ML researchers or students?

Maybe people can use these on our platform (https://iko.ai) which is on GCP and GKE. The platform provides real-time collaborative notebooks so people can train, track, package, deploy, and monitor machine learning models on the users' Kubernetes clusters (AWS, GCP, Azure, Digital Ocean, etc. So if you have credits elsewhere, this may be doable).

You could transfer your credits to us, we'll generate a special link, then you donate that link to people or entities who, when signing up with the link, could use your resources.
Why we open up Stooa’s code to the community?

We’re turning Stooa into an Open Source tool for the following reasons:

1. Giving back to the OS community, some of the knowledge we’ve borrowed and support this way of approaching innovation and development.

2. Alignment with Open Source values: sharing, proposing, contributing, iterating. It also dovetails with our Agile work methodology and the Kaizen culture of continuous improvement.

3. Technical learning. As an opportunity to draw on the international development community’s best practices and at the same time a means of gauging our knowledge and the quality of what we develop.

4. Extending reach. Opening Stooa up is additionally an avenue for the product to be adopted by the communities for which it is intended, such as developers and users, facilitators and Agile communities, and also a way of reaching other audiences and unlocking new applications.

5. OS product governance. How do you map out the governance model for this kind of product? We see this step as a learning challenge for the whole team.

6. Accessibility and serendipity. We seek to make Stooa a transparent and accessible tool which fosters unprecedented relationships, connections, contributions and inputs.

7. And, above all… Because sharing is caring :-)

You can help us to enhance Stooa with contributions in:

Bug reports

Bug fixing

New features

Third-party integration

Democracy is unrecoverable. Imagine for a moment that the employees of McDonald's get to vote for a CEO every four years.

A bunch of employees get together and vote their friend Reggie in. Reggie doesn't do anything crazy, but his supporters now all are promoted to management, he signs a bunch of contracts to supply things from his brother in law and he takes the company jet to Thailand and never leaves.

Reggie gets voted out and Sally gets voted in.

The company is making a little less money but it is her turn and she throws out all of the Reggie followers in management and promotes the Sally followers to management, voids the contracts causing costly lawsuits and gives a bracelet for free McFlurries for life.

She then mandates that Wendy's employees get a vote. She takes a flight to Thailand and stays for two terms thanks to the Wendy's vote.

Dave III takes over and promises to heal the burger divide and promises that Wendy's employees votes will count double because they have been disenfranchised for years, he voids all Sally's contracts once again a costly move that almost bankrupts the company. He leaves her employees because of the Wendy's deal. With new brother in laws and new contracts signed, Dave rallys the voters and tells them he is going to protect their future by putting their pensions and retirement into the company's trust, and appoints his wife as trustee. They take the remaining money and retire in New Zealand.

Every shift in power weakens the company. Every clean out and replacement of staff is a huge cost to the company.

Common people can never exert enough influence to better their situation beyond short term nepotism.
It's all the same thing. People talk about the standard as if it's an important thing by itself, but it has literally no meaning outside the installed base. You can't rehabilitate OpenPGP by observing that the standard allows you to implement it safely, because the installed base is what controls.

Related to the concept of supernormal musical stimuli, I've often wondered about the existence of currently hypothetical "strong music", a class of musical stimuli presumably discoverable by strong AI.

Any property, in this case the rewarding effect of acoustic stimuli in humans, can be powerfully maximized. There must exist patterns in music-space that would have profoundly greater impact on human minds than those our low-wattage brains can find. So through a really powerful search process (read: artificial general intelligence) that can more efficiently explore remote, undiscovered regions of music-space, we could get music-patterns more alluring and emotionally stimulating than any currently imaginable.

What these songs would sound like is the real mystery. Would they sound anything like the music we're familiar with? Would they lead to musical wireheading [0]?

It also seems a bad idea to measure musical goodness by, say, how many times humans will replay a certain audio file. If you use this measure, I don't think you'll end with what you want at all.

That hits close. That's how I have felt my entire life, and when I expressed anything else as a child I got "be a man". Now that I'm a an adult about to early retire, I'm thankful for that capacity to bear down and focus, but given my gout I wonder at what cost.
A National Stock Exchange That Supports NFTs? Welcome to Switzerland
I recently wrote a few documents in latex after ignoring it for over a decade. Trying to get a working setup with latex + bibtex + a few custom styles was quite annoying (and i work as a backend developer, so i probably tolerate annoying command line tools more than most people). I can appreciate that people (e.g. researchers) who just want to author a document with some equations in latex but who are not programmers or avid command line users might find the entire experience of getting a tolerable latex workflow set up very challenging. I guess that might be partly why https://www.overleaf.com/ has a business model! Hide all the package management and command line tooling nonsense behind a simple web interface.

I was very excited to find Thomas Weise had wrangled latex and a Tex Live installation into a docker container: https://github.com/thomasWeise/docker-texlive-thin

Another useful tool is latexmk, which is already installed inside the docker-texlive-thin container : https://mg.readthedocs.io/latexmk.html

By containing the madness of latex tooling and package management with docker and some volume mounts, I could have a reasonably sane build process to manufacture PDFs from latex source files.

I don't recommend md2blog add mandatory dependencies on anything related to latex. Another way to think about it might be offering optional latex support through some md2blog plugin mechanism that doesn't know anything about latex. But that path sure won't produce anything resembling a "zero config" static site generator! Might end up with something closer to apache httpd.
Yes? Of course I do?
That seems to just control whether holding down CMD and opening a folder will open in a tab or a window. Even with that unchecked, folders still open in-place by default.

That's the scariest combination possible IMO. Regardless of the trustworthiness of the developer, it stacks incentives in a bad way. Even if LibreOffice is worse, at least it'll be around longer than one single developer.
This is exactly why I expanded on the original article! I have been advocating for all the same interventions, but to hear it from those who have experienced both worlds is a great affirmation of my one-sided experience.
Ah, alright. I see them. Isn't this more of an argument about not going to any lengths to protect them as opposed to an argument that they should just die?

It wasn't a security incident, actually. It's true that "a GitHub bug caused it". It wasn't malicious.

TLDR, a contributor made a tag on their own fork of Caddy, and for some reason our next release used their tag, because it turns out forks in GitHub aren't actual separate repos, but rather "still technically the same repo". It's really strange. Wasn't that contributor's fault either, they had no idea that would happen.

All that happened is that the v2.2.2 git tag wasn't properly signed with Matt's signing key. There was no problem with the code at all.

We've put in place checks during our CI actions to ensure that releases are always verified to be signed by Matt's key. See https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/pull/3932

Specifically, commit https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/commit/1d473ae924f0d52c... (which you'll notice is _not_ part of the Caddy repo, it was actually from a fork which was later deleted) triggered this GitHub Actions job for the release https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/actions/runs/392345801 which we cancelled when we noticed it was happening. But we can't remove the tag from Go's caching server https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/caddyserver/caddy/v2@v2.2.2 so it's kinda there forever.

That's something that seems like would be feasible in a more monolithic world of broadcasting, and smaller firmwares. They could probably simply broadcast various firmwares at different times; then if the TV detected "hey, that is for me", it could capture the packets.

It's hard to imagine streaming services like YouTube, NetFlix and whoever agreeing to do anything of that sort.

Indeed, my guess is right about this seems to be in the right ballpark:

I don't know why you say conservative minority. I'd argue that it benefits whoever the majority is.

In Quebec, Canada, it's the liberal party. A blend of progressives and conservatives, but it seems to me they are more progressive than not. Imagine voting for conservatives here during the federal elections, when you know that the province just doesn't like conversatives that much. They only have a chance when the liberals get the people very mad.

In the USA, I think there're plenty of conservatives still, I wouldn't call them a minority.
Did it really fail? The fork, KaiOS, seems to do pretty well:

https://www.kaiostech.com/company/our-story/

They claim that they are on 160 million devices.

And based on this:

https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/user-activity

Firefox has about 220 million users at the moment.

So, I wouldn't say that FirefoxOS failed, it just failed in their hand.
Well that's the thing - I'm not willing to build them. I wouldn't know where to start, even. And no ambition to learn, whilst Firefox and uBlock keep going. Seriously why should I? Maybe someone more able than I can share their knowledge with a pointer to a guide that says why this is better than what I have, and how to get it running on my Windows box.

My current position is to step wide and rather carefully around anything by/from Google.
Only $10K for a 55" display. Hmm
This seems like an instance of the fallacy where people sort of operate from the premise that men are basically defective women and that following feminine behavior patterns will be helpful for them. It’s sort of tied up with the notion of “toxic masculinity”.
There are no flat or concave surfaces, so any reflections are diffused out. Ends up not being an issue at all.
Learning assembly can be a pain, especially without something like gdb (with layout regs &layout asm).
This is much simpler and doesn't require you to type like 4-5 extra commands(start gdb, put breakpoint, set layouts, step through the code),thus avoiding the pain that gdb can be for very-simple asm programs.
Even digital signage is becoming increasingly "smart", although perhaps not in a way that HN would object to. Most of them these days have the ability to display videos and stills from attached storage devices, or stream content from a network address.
cool. the other cool thing about the archive's copy is you can move backwards to hear other people chat about ergonomics or forward to hear tech news from the era (like the Japanese consortium that fabbed a 1Mbit ROM. 128kbytes! WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH ALL THAT CAPACITY!)
>Please, give me the "risk" of having somewhat-fewer millions in the bank. I'll take on all that risk. For free!

Okay, and somebody who was born in poverty in a low-income country might be happy with far less money than even the lowest wage earner in America. All you're saying is wealth is relative. But we already know that, and it's not really an argument for anything!
I (a cis-gendered man) find it interesting how when sensitivity comes up, or the desire for spaces to talk about vulnerability comes up, certain people (often men) treat the suggestion as if it's a personal affront to them.

It's similar to how some people react to homosexuality as if it reflects on them. "What, there are people who are attracted to the same gender?! WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT ME!?!"

There are men who do like such spaces for men, but I've also seen how they can be challenging to maintain. There are a lot of feelings that come up for men, and a lot of toxic thought patterns and habits, as well as patterns that can come up around shaming others who may not feel the same way as the group.

I find also that directly talking can be useful and powerful, but so can community building alongside talking, such as participating in a shared activity- building, gaming, etc.

There's a need for both, and most of all, for men to feel valued just for being alive, not for any deed they perform or value they bring to others, just their intrinsic value.
Users often flag stories when they think they have a high risk of turning into a flamewar. I know I do. This article seems reasonable and the initial comments were relatively constructive, so maybe this one will go well.
I think centralization could work quite well, it just hasn't in practice. When thinking of benevolent dictators, there's obviously some advantage there compared to uncoordinated decentralization.

That said, I'm not stupid enough to think that's a good idea, and welcome any innovations in decentralized coordination.
Return it to Amazon, you could fill the box with rocks and they will happily ship it on to the next customer.
In my eyes there is another factor that makes society difficult. Until today men are supposed to be big, muscular and strong. This often equals with strength, being an alpha and masculine. While women already evolved to being fat, short, tall, no matter what and yet to be accepted, being sexy, being strong and beautiful, men are not. If you are a fat guy, a short guy, a skinny guy.. anything else but tall, strong, muscular, then you are not considered an alpha male.

Yes, this does not apply to all environments, but I see this in my professional life WAY TOO OFTEN. Going out to clubs or bars, being invited to house parties - it is always the same story.

I say that the beauty ideal towards men MUST change asap: skinny should be better than muscular. Less aggressive hormones, less violence, less toxic masculinity.
Not really. It's a different approach with different tradeoffs that are just as bad as the previously known ones.

That's probably why it wasn't picked up by a better journal and that nobody outside of the university where it happened is talking about it.
They (cis-men) are probably not awarded respect and credibility by default because historically they've been the ones causing all the shit.
I was skeptical but impressed, too. I created a .py file that started with a comment something like:

# this application uses PyGame to simulate fish swimming around a tank using a boid-like flocking algorithm.

and Copilot basically wrote the entire application. I made a few adjustments here and there, but Copilot created a Game class, a Tank class, and a Fish class and then finished up by creating and running an instance of the game.

Worked pretty well on the first try. It was definitely more than I expected. I wish I had committed the original to GitHub, but I didn't and then kept tinkering with it until I broke it.
>I'm not so sure. The illusion of action could be worse than indifference.

absolutely right. the concept of 'squatting' on an idea so that it remains untouched in the market is an obvious strategy and likely used by many large groups.
Do you object to smartness, or to ads in your TV?

RTings maintains a list of smart TVs that are completely ad-free:

Realistically speaking, Twitter has "done more good than harm (unlike Facebook)" because:

1. Younger and left-leaning outrage tends to dominate on Twitter.

2. Older and right-leaning outrage tends to dominate on Facebook.

3. Any conclusions are going to be subjective AF accordingly, and HN is a more young and left-leaning cohort.

All social media is a double-edged sword, under the most charitable view.
>As David Chappelle noted recently, "twitter is not a real place" - and doesn't need to be elevated to the position of society's gatekeeper, but rather demoted to society's cesspool. They proved themselves not up to the task to maintain robust free discourse platform - let them rot in their own bubble.

Agreed. Part of that is the 'hot take' represented by the limited characters of a tweet are inimical to nuance. So much of it is just people taking turns 'dunking' on each other, and it gets increasingly heated and rage inducing. Add to that an inflammatory algorithm, where outrage drives interaction, and of course you have a cesspit.

Part of the good thing about the old internet is when you have to construct a blog to share your thoughts, you have to be driven to actually, y'know, build something. It also has the added benefit of being relatively closed off. Now everyone has easy access to an empty field with which to yell into the void... and it turns out with that low bar and high inter-connectedness comes a lot of yelling.
> I believe the same will be true of adversarial examples for vision (and language) models. We can try to make them hard to make, hard to posses anonymously, and hard to deliver. I think this will be much easier with computer vision than with poison, so I'm not worried about it.

Erm. We can maybe do something about delivery, but stopping people from making (and thus, possessing) them is virtually impossible, since all you need is an undergrad-level understanding of ML (if that) and some freely-available software.
