We made a web app using the WOMBO text-to-image API, which allows you to easily create custom socks. We use shopify along with printify to print and ship the socks directly to the customer.

This has been a fun side project to work on, and we'd love to get some feedback / early testers. This is our MVP so we expect there to be some bugs to iron out, but it should work end-to-end.

I work at WOMBO, so this is a promo for the company as well. We probably have one of the most competitive prices for text-to-image generation.

I Will Not Eat the Bugs (2021)
It's unclear if you're saying "listen to the good studies, don't listen to the bad studies" with no explanation as to how we separate the two ex ante, or you're just saying "don't make policies based on scientific understanding", or you're just saying don't make policies.

None of these is actually a viable approach to, well, anything.

> 99% of "private networks" don't need HTTPS for most things, full-stop.

The encryption HTTPS provides isn't important if you trust your network. However server authentication is important if your devices move between networks (phone, laptop, etc). Applications don't know you switched networks, they just want to connect and will happily send sensitive data to an attacker if you ever connect to a malicious network. There was an example of `git push` leaking the entire commit history mentioned on HN not too long ago.

Is there anyone in your family that you really want to have access to all your photos? Not even referring to just NSFW stuff. If your answer is "as the admin I'm the only one that can access everything" then consider the question from your family's POV. Not trying to discount your point only pointing out that single user and e2ee implementations have some value.
> These established libraries already paid the price of implementation, and are very battle-tested.

Yes absolutely. I’m not saying users should pick the one that’s easier to implement.

Simplicity is good for implementers. It allows for more participants, eg std libs to provide their own. Also, even the security geeks are humans and make mistakes. Heartbleed is a perfect example of where even simple things can go catastrophically wrong.

As a second order effect, users benefit from simplicity in the long run, because less complex systems have fewer bugs, and thus fewer security bugs.
Threads: Meta sets out planned new features
Some of the inferential steps in this article are… “heroic” might be a polite way to put it.

“Furthermore, the fact that none of the infant burials found in Valencina have grave goods suggests that, among the communities that lived in or frequented this site, social status was not ascribed by birth (and therefore no significant inheritance of wealth occurred), contrary to what would happen later in the Early Bronze Age)32. Therefore, it is fair to assume that the individual inhumed in structure 10.049 gained a prominent social position through merit and personal achievement and did not ‘inherit’ it by birth.”

I mean… on the basis of the tombs that have been found you want to infer that? Sorry but there’s ten other stories that fit the available evidence. This interpretation really stretches credulity beyond the breaking point.

You can disable this - it's called "Conversation mode" and you can turn it off. Many of my colleagues have it off as they find it unusable due to their workflow (they often end up with threads with 50-100 emails in them & conversation mode makes it painful).

(Be aware that Conversation mode is required for some tools/plugins/extensions to work though.)

> One thing this paper ignores is side channel attacks.

I mean, that's fair right? The article doesn't talk about encryption in general but tries to answer "How secure is RSA?" or rather "When is/will N bit RSA be considered insecure?", so scoping it to only talk about that seems fair.

Of course, one could only focus their attention on so many things. Misuse, misconfiguration, side channel attacks and etc become unrelated to the topic at hand in this case.
I'm guessing they was trying to make sense of my search query? That document seems to explain the search operators, so here's my logic behind the choice of operators:

Why `NEAR2`? Maybe Steve is their middle name, so `NEAR` won't work as it only looks at bordering names. I don't necessarily know if the databases are going to present the names as `Lindsay, Steve` or `Steve Lindsay`, so `ADJ` (where order matters) isn't a good choice.

Why `ste$5`? Maybe they didn't use `Steve` as their name on the application. Could be `Steven` or `Stephen`. That suggests `ste$4`. However, I've found that adding an extra letter can be more robust. Maybe the database has a typo like `Stephenn`, hence the extra letter.
I love this idea. Except I have devices on my network that don't allow me to do that. Company lock downs etc.

So I just pull in stuff from LetsEncrypt.
Also, while I know this is a personal values judgement, Intel does a pretty good job with the NUCs (at least the mainstream 4x4 line) and given the SFF form factor involved, there is value in being the "mainstream product".

Things like good power management are not a given on competing products, I routinely see the "clones" coming in with 5-10w higher idle power (which is like, double) than the first-party product (most recently Atlas Canyon vs the third-party Tremont clones). Intel is selling to big corporate customers who care a lot about wasting 5W here and 10W there and they took the time to squeeze that.

Also (and this is a more general problem) Intel actually took the time to make the wireless work properly. I've had good bluetooth on exactly three products: intel macbooks, apple silicon macbooks, and intel NUCs. This cuts across cheap/premium, even my Dell Latitude coffee lake laptop from my last job had problems - the keyboard would disconnect, or get stuck repeating a key over and over again. Part of it is that the Intel Wireless chipsets are notoriously bad... but Intel and Apple seem to be able to make them work, so.. To be clear I did have some occasional issues on my NUC but it was way way better than the laptop or any other machine I've ever used (including motherboard wifi with external antenna placed close, dongles on usb 2.0, dongles placed close, etc). On a USFF machine like a NUC that's kind of an important thing, the odds of users using wifi or bluetooth is much higher and it needs to be reliable.

Finally, if you are ever planning to do anything custom/fancy it's potentially nice to have the standardized product. You can get things like plug an OpenUPS directly into the aux power header on the NUC (and again, Intel deserves credit for taking the time to consistently implement these things!) or put it in a HDPlex or Akasa chassis for fanless operation or upgrading it with a pcie card (which runs off the m.2 slot). There's just a ton more of those options available if you're the industry standard.

It sucks, I really want to like the AMD stuff, and maybe it'd be fine just as a desktop replacement. But Intel is one of those cases where it's potentially worth it to spend slightly more for a slightly worse product and just accept that there is an unknown (but probably nonzero) amount of time and effort being saved for that expense, because you're buying a standard, fully-baked product.
One important thing about the hilbert transform is that it is noncausal, and so in practice for realtime applications can only be approximated, and the better the approximation the larger the delay imposed by the need for newer parts of the signal to compute older results. For at lot of applications this doesn't matter, but it does make it harder to use.
> When most mathematicians say something like "X is true", what they mean is "X can be proved from the axioms of set theory".

I'm just one mathematician, but I certainly don't mean that.

Before we can prove anything about sets, we need to pick some axioms. Zermelo set theory (Z) would be enough for most of ordinary mathematics. If we need something stronger, there's Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory with the axiom of choice (ZFC). Or if I need something even stronger, there's, for example, Tarski–Grothendieck set theory (TG).

What I mean by "X is true" is technically difficult to define. The statements

(1) X is provable in Z.

(2) X is provable in ZFC.

(3) X is provable in TG.

are all increasingly accurate characterizations of "X is true", but none of them capture everything about it. And that's kind of the point. There is no proof system P such that "X is provable in P" would work as a faithful definition of "X is true". So the best we can get is this tower of increasingly sophisticated axioms that still always fail to capture the full meaning of "truth".

There is a convention among mathematicians: Anything up to ZFC you can assume without explicitly mentioning it, but if you go beyond it, it's good to state what axioms you have used. ZFC is not a bad choice for this role. It is quite high in the tower. In most cases ZFC is strong enough, or in fact, overkill. But still, it is not at the top of the tower (there is no top!), so sometimes you need stronger axioms. The fact that ZFC has been singled out like this is ultimately a bit arbitrary - a social convention. "X is provable in ZFC" may be the most common justification for "X is true", but that doesn't make it the definition of "X is true".
Can I ask what specifically you like about it over Photprism? Just the sync?

I've also been questing for a Google Photos replacement, and right now Nextcloud functions admirably for auto-sync but like garbage for anything past that like viewing albums afterwards. I've had an instance of Photoprism up for a while and was debating bringing it into "production" on my homelab.
Nice work there
> Letsencrypt's users are almost all in the personal/hobbyist space

That may have been true in the early days of Let's encrypt. But today, if you're using any of a number of newer hosting options (Netlify, Vercel, Fly.io, etc.) you're probably using a let's encrypt certificate.

Older/more staid companies will mostly still be using certs from Digisign et al., but there's little reason for new companies to pay for that.

E911 came about to address lost and immobilized callers.

Unfortunately, it's inconsistently deployed and not universally usable. This is likely the result of a lack of a sufficiently-staffed regulatory body auditing for compliance and correctness because it doesn't work everywhere with all phones on all carriers even when there is the technical ability, e.g., phone has a fix. It hasn't delivered completely on its promise because it's an under-funded, under-audited mandate that needs serious carrots and sticks to ensure it's reliable.
iMissed it as well
This doesn’t answer your question directly but iCloud is definitely not the way. Not only it’s unreliable and unusable largely, it is also designed in a way that discourage interoperability.

On Mac (I am aware you have said Windows) So if I were you I’d just dump app the photos locally in normal folder hierarchies (yes drag and drop; not going hunting in Library folder) and then backup wherever you want them. Here’s something https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT205323. Googled it. Absolutely no idea whether it works or how.

Then put something like Dropbox on the job on iOS and it’ll keep uploading your pics and videos which will show up inside one folder on your Windows as well.

My point is — you can’t rely on iCloud after you setup your backup up sync strategy. So get all your data at one point then start your parallel backup/sync setup (and maybe leave iCloud on as well if price is not a concern).
My source is my father who is a physician who chairs a residency. He’s always complaining about the business analysts wanting to cut the program because it’s not making enough. My understanding is that yes there are a lot of highly paid doctors at the residency who are basically just supervising the residents so you end up in a situation where you have just as many full doctors plus the resident costs to treat the same number of people. The residency also does a bunch of non revenue generating stuff like retreats and training every Friday which hurts margins.

These types of companies are often frauds (anything involving large amounts charged for travel, or housing of some sort). A bunch of big charges comes in, and then months later there are massive chargebacks and the company in question no longer exists. Stripe is left holding the bag. Their only option with these large charges for services to be delivered in the future is to not release funds until they are quite certain there won't be a charge back.

For every instance of what appears to be bad behavior by a payments company, consider the angle of the fraudster. They are really screwing things up for everybody.

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a cryptographic protocol that protects communications over insecure networks, such as the Internet. SSL establishes a session between a client and a server through a handshake to authenticate the identities of the communicating parties and negotiate keys and cipher suites. This prevents the interception of communication between the client and server and secures data transmission on the network. SSL certificates are used to authenticate and establish a secure connection between a client and a server.
Say you’re providing standard email to a family of 6. Your yearly bills are €25.2.

Now, your bills are €288 per year, for the same service, basically overnight, without even beginning to consider other price raises by Gandi and general inflation. If you don’t have a ton of disposable income that’s kinda brutal and you don’t have a lot of time to work this out.
Tumblr was extremely comfy. It had a different feel from any other social site, everyone was a lot nicer and friendly and supportive. In a very genuine way. Twitter on the other hand feels like endless sociopaths trying to sell you something.

It’s gone though. I know it isn’t Automattics fault, but the high-water mark was almost a decade ago now. Then it was taken behind the shed and put down by Verizon lol
The outcome is not always, or perhaps even often, the same.

The last time I paid attention to one of these complaints, someone was using stripe to sell cellphone accessories (and yes, at least on my Stripe application, they asked what I was selling.)

After selling accessories for a while, he then used it to sell a minivan, and had a tantrum when Stripe -- quite reasonably -- said this flags all the flags, and Stripe was going to hold onto the money until they were sure things were kosher.

Getting dollars before multiple months post transaction basically leaves someone holding a bag of risk, and if you act shady AF, you can't be surprised if Stripe declines to hold that bag of risk for you.
I appreciate this post because for engineering (non-design) types like me, UX design is one of those things that I don't take note of unless it's really bad. As a result, when I try to design a webpage, I have no idea what made the other web pages good and mine looks like garbage :) I guess it's kinda like that thing where you ask random people to draw a bicycle without referencing a picture.

Plus, the pacing of the content and animated content was enjoyable

For the default URLs generated when you deploy an app, sure, but companies using them commercially are all bringing their own domains (with their own certs).
A great point! I guess I don't really consider processor design/fabbing to be consumer electronics/hardware. The eventual customer is a consumer, but that consumer (IMO) is a customer of an OEM like Dell.

> > Seems like Apple is doing a better job of convincing / allowing folks to move to a more recent version of their operating system.

Apple is doing a better job with operating system updates. On June 21, Apple released a bunch of iOS updates including iOS 15.7.7 [1] for devices going back to the iPhone 6s which was released September 2015--nearly 8 years ago.

There's no reason why the large Android OEMs couldn't do the same if they wanted to.

And that's with 81% of iPhone bought in the last 4 years running a version of iOS 16 [2] five months ago. When iOS 17 is available to be installed in two months, over 90% the installed base will be running iOS 16.

A bit disingenuous to make a broad sweeping claim, then have a footnote which contradicts that claim, and upon closer inspection even that claim is incorrect.

It's absolutely usable in practice, it just makes oversubscription more challenging.
As the person who negotiated the agreements between Let's Encrypt and Identrust I can tell you that they have provided valuable services, including but not limited to cross-signs. I would not describe it as rent seeking.

We are sincerely glad to have them as partners, and grateful for their contributions to helping get Let's Encrypt going. We could not have done what we did without them. Running a publicly trusted CA is not easy, and cross-signing others involves work and liability, particularly if the entity asking for a cross-sign is an upstart with a strange plan and little to no experience running a CA.
I think the promise of new emoji is often a compelling reason for people to update.

A few features I’ve found particularly impactful in recent updates, which do feel like they require a deeper change than just an app are:

- translate button on selected text (and the translation works sufficiently well)

- OCR + selection of text in images, automatic OCR and indexing of text in photos

- oftentimes if you select something in some units, you can select the text and see a conversion to other units (though it is a bit fussy about what it accepts, e.g. it doesn’t like 5’, 5’1, 5’2”, 5lb 3oz, but it is ok with 5lb, $1, 1$, or USD 1)

Ask HN: Am I the only one who's sad Geoff Hinton will become a philosopher?
I almost missed it, but he announced it at the end of this recent video: https://youtu.be/-9cW4Gcn5WY?t=2720

I used to be a CS grad student at UofT, where if you ran `finger hinton`, you'd find out that Geoff's "plan" was to figure out how the brain works. No surprise there. But if you then also fingered Hector Levesque, you'd see that his plan was to (paraphrased) "wait for Geoff to figure out how the brain works and then apply transitivity". Hector was on my thesis committee and I was in his camp in terms of waiting and transitivity -- mostly because I couldn't contribute much to the former. That quote inspired me so much, I named my company after it (Transitive Robotics).

But now the plan is broken -- at least superficially. Was I the only one missing this news until now? I'm surprised there wasn't more talk about it. Are people not saddened by this? I am.
