Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince answered this directly on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19828702

Most relevant piece but the whole comment is worth a read:

> Archive.is’s authoritative DNS servers return bad results to 1.1.1.1 when we query them. I’ve proposed we just fix it on our end but our team, quite rightly, said that too would violate the integrity of DNS and the privacy and security promises we made to our users when we launched the service.

> The archive.is owner has explained that he returns bad results to us because we don’t pass along the EDNS subnet information. This information leaks information about a requester’s IP and, in turn, sacrifices the privacy of users.

Honestly it's that type of thing (the frankness, the presence on HN, willingness to participate, the principled stand on privacy) that got me into Cloudflare products. I now generate hundreds per month in revenue for them and that will likely be thousands in the next year or two. His time/effort on HN directly led to customer acquisition and revenue.

That said I do worry about the incentives Cloudflare has to their big customers. CF is a great tool for site owners, but like any tool has the potential to be a great evil (against the user) if the principles ever wane. It's already being used by a lot of sites to make life a living hell for people behind a VPN. As a site owner I absolutely get it: practically zero of my legitimate traffic comes from VPNs (our main demographic tend to skew older and much less technical than the average consumer), but all of the automated attacks against me do. Balancing freedom and rights is hard, but I deeply appreciate the thoughtfulness and principles that CF has displayed over the years.

I'm not sure I follow, if I were to define "Energy System" as a system to create or utilize energy, I can think of a half dozen that never were weapons. Solar, Wind, Natural Gas, Coal, Hydro.

If you define energy systems to mean nuclear energy systems, then we only have one, which is fission.

But in the end, this test was specifically designed to test the nuclear weapons stockpile by feeding real data about implosions, by means of ablation by x-rays, back into the computer simulations that have been developed in the last couple of decades.

In review, implosion by ablation of a material by x-rays is the mechanism speculated that the primary fission nuclear device triggers the secondary fusion device in an H-bomb. So, they are not trying to figure out how to produce power or even understand fusion, but they are modeling the characteristics of a specific part of a bomb, so they can know how to test a 50 year old h-bomb without setting one off.
These are definitely very significant risks. But some of those risks are hard to avoid unless you train your own model, which can be prohibitively expensive.

Say you're building on top of llama and Facebook decides not to update it any more or change the licensing terms (again). Say you're building on some other "open source" model and that project dies.

At least you can keep running the existing model rather than getting locked out over night. That's definitely much better. At least it's survivable. But you would still have to find alternatives and review/scrap all your custom prompts.
Seems like a good reason not to be exclusive with a single DNS service.

Perhaps we can use the credit rating agencies to have a dating credit history report along with a financial credit history report.

Combine this with the credit/debit card networks purchase histories, and pay history from The Work Number, and I bet we could come up with a dating score number to match people up.
eastdakota's original comment covers this. The DNS request isn't encrypted, so anyone with control over the network (upstream ISPs via warrants) can use this information to figure out who is attempting to visit. ("Someone is resolving example.com" is less information than "someone in LA is resolving example.com") Meanwhile, the actual HTTPS connection leaks less information. If the website is hosted on a CDN or cloud provider, then someone monitoring the IP traffic only knows that you're visiting something hosted by that CDN. ("The target is visiting a Cloudflare-hosted site" is less information than "The target is visiting example.com") So, there is a slight information leak by sending the geolocation information.

On the other hand, it's possible this doesn't matter. The client might not encrypt the host it's trying to visit. Nation states can correlate packet timing. So if someone really wants to know, they'll probably figure it out. (This is always a risk with things like Tor. If the government is monitoring your connection and some target website's connection, and you are sending a lot of packets at the same time they're receiving a lot of packets, you can guess who is talking to who.)
That depends on the emergency and the road. In Manhattan you cannot go as fast as the rural highways - but the only places you would go are also pretty close. In rural areas when seconds count the correct hospital may be hours away (rural hospitals cannot solve all problems), and those emergency personal will drive much faster than the road design (which is also designed much faster than Manhattan) if that is what it takes to get there.
Some time ago there was a post on here about not putting projects out to the world. A lot of devs in the comments shared their stories about projects dying out because they weren't 100% ready. I share the same sentiment.

A lot of it comes from this - wanting to be at 100%. And as some people here have pointed out, the last 10% takes probably just as much time/energy as the first 90. So yeah, it's a tradeoff. There are definitely a lot of areas where the last 10% matters a lot, and is the differential between successful and mediocre companies for example. But, in a lot of cases, 90% is just fine - I'd rather have 90% and live than strive for 100% and have the thing stay in the closet.

Joseph Smith and Brigham Young were the charismatic cult leaders of Mormonism. Since their time, the mainstream Mormon Church headquartered in Salt Lake City has become less and less cultish and more bureaucratic, yet they still qualify as a cult according to the BITE model, and there are many Mormon splinter groups that are among the worst cults active today.

Most NYT pieces like this have a snarky comment that sums up the writer's opinion about the supposed trend they're observing. I thought this one was pretty good. On the whole, I'd rather they only covered stories they thought were important, but it's also good to have a laugh.
Thing is - you don't need to show the likely outcomes are perfect - you just need to show they are better than what happens now.

And right now it seems to be "if you do this thing that sometimes has a really bad outcome and we catch you then we'll make that outcome much worse"

You are assuming that the rest of the researches are interested in exposing them. They may be in the same boat (institutions), paid by the same people to produce similar "research".
If you already had a multipolar magnet for some reason, on the other hand, this wouldn't be too far fetched. You've got to think that with all the interest in this right now, the confluence of having access to a handy collection of peculiar magnets, knowing what to do with a bit of graphite, and being enough of a troll to publish a video, all in a single individual, isn't going to be that unlikely.
It's not just Cloudflare, it's any DNS resolver that doesn't implement EDNS extensions. If you (or the company you work for) run a recursive resolver that doesn't submit such data, you'll run into the same issues.

I've switched to archive.org because archive.* is broken. For stuff that .org doesn't have, there's always the Tor version. The Tor address seems to be more responsive as well, so that's nice.

Given a sample size of my dog, I believe chewing is only necessary for making bland food more delicious. The more yummy the food, the less my dog chews it - thoroughly chewing dry kibble and culminating in literally inhaling something like roast chicken.

Thus, it's because grass and weeds are bland and lacking in tasty fat that bovines and ruminants chew their food for so long and so many times.

Honestly, most of these studies are getting caught simply by not having the expected distribution on their data. I suspect improving this analysis will more often just lead to better fakes.

Unfortunately I think this means we need to disregard these popsci papers, especially in the social sciences unless there's a clear, uninterested party providing the data as well.
It's telling that MS Windows users react so defensively to what was a very reasonable comment.
The process pretty much started with Windows 8, which was released in 2012. I don't think the flat style will go away anytime soon. At most, skeuomorphic elements will be slowly phased in. Material design at least adds shadows, and "neumorphism" adds back some 3d popping out, although I haven't seen it much.
It doesn't, it will still show nagging dialogs to buy "spotlights" and use dark patterns/nudging to get you to spend even more.
When you separate out the results of intelligence on income (they are highly correlated traits), it's actually more impactful.

I'm in the same boat. We have customers that need to run models in an environment that have access to the public internet, even if they did trust OpenAI et al.

More importantly for me, I don't want to be beholden to a model provider and have to take what they give me. I'd rather host my own model if an API was an option, because then I have control over it and can hack it as I want. I don't want to be just a wrapper on GPT which is sort of what you're stuck with if you just want to use their APIs.
I think it's more of an instance of "it works on my computer"; not testing on an environment sufficiently similar to production, and applying a change that cannot be rolled back.
Why does win11 even exist, after w10 having been introduced as the final OS? What crap does it contain that couldn't be put into 10 via updates? Why would you use it voluntarily? I'm honestly curious.
That was indeed my point:

Good defaults are the best but when you have bad defaults you might as well go for full-fledged well thought-out third party tools
> 9-volt battery can't "lie" to the digital multimeter...

they totally do lie, for a number of reasons. A most common one is that multimeter presents much higher resistance than many loads, so an almost-empty battery might present "8.7V" to multimeter but that immediately drops down to 1-3V if any real load is present. This won't happen with smoke alarm, but can happen with a radio or a toy. This is a common gotcha for many people who are just learning to use the tool.

The less common reason include: shaking the battery (such as when you are removing it from the device) might increase its voltage for a few minutes; bringing outdoor device into warn room might also make battery appear more full.

So yes, multimeters have their own limitations, and if the device under test cooperates (exposes test points for example), they work much better. You need some skill to know when to trust it and when to ignore its reading. Kinda like for traceroute :) so maybe the analogy is not that bad after all.
> Homophobia isn't the right word. The church isn't afraid of homosexuality. It has beliefs that are inconsistent with homosexuality but it isnt fear as the word falsely implies.

Catholics, I think, get a really bad rap for this.

The standard literally is "sex is only in a marriage of one man and one woman." Everything that doesn't fit is viewed as being incompatible. Gay relationships? Straight relationships outside marriage? Straight relationships in addition to marriage? Masturbation and Pornography? All aren't acceptable - being gay is hardly special theologically even if it gets the most attention.
It's like playing a familiar song on an old cassette tape on a modern system. The user will likely be tempted to crank up the treble, trying to recover content that isn't there. In the image-scaling example, the HF content wasn't there to begin with -- since you upsampled it, it couldn't have been! -- but there's a strong psychological expectation for it to be there.

With images, it's a bit easier to put the high frequencies back in via judicious use of edge enhancement, perhaps because you have two dimensions to work with rather than one dimension in the audio case.

One of the problems is that if you run more studies, you are statistically more likely to eventually yield a statistically significant result. The tests that folks run are not designed for series of statistical tests, but for individual tests. So when you run a ton of experiments and throw away all the statistically insignificant results, you are engaging in the form of p-hacking that the discipline of psychology is currently struggling with. The overarching replication crisis.

And you may be thinking that's all harmless, but it's really not. Folks running experiments are competing for jobs with other folks who might do more worthwhile research. Because psychologists are good at running the pipeline, and they have found a nearly inexhaustible source of publications (experiments run on undergrad students), the up the bar for everyone else.

I remember just a few days ago a discussion on this site about how a hiring committee skipped over the "better" applicant with more publications and citations than the successful candidate. The reality is that there are plenty of faculty on hiring committees out there who are looking for candidates with a good publication record, because that is how they assess if someone is a good researcher. Psychologists have already succeeded in pushing out most of the less experiment-prone folks in their discipline. The pressure extends to adjacent fields.

I think that is what I did. I had pretty good stability for some things, but I was really pushing the limits by trying to run Intellij. I could get some Java code to compile and run, but it would always terminate eventually.

After the first 90% there is the other 90%. People underestimate how much time that takes. It requires partners and skills you have not necessarily honed.

The actual answer is get partners motivated enough to do the rest.
That's my point, the provider should not be making that decision. Either it's legal or not, and if it is they should be required to provide service.
Apple Arcade is nostalgic in the sense that the entire catalog of games is short enough that you can iterate it. (Note: still zero games that start with a V) The games aren't bad, but everything is the list has a better version elsewhere. Couple of examples:

- Oceanhorn 2's gameplay is strictly inferior to Zelda (because of BotW's popularity, there are more fun options even over TTK)

- I found Oregon Trail patently offensive. It's one thing to be a remake that worse than the original. Lots of games have that problem. It's another when your nostalgia-bait headliner actively drives people away.

Apple's success outside of Arcade (Apple is the largest "gaming" company in terms of money made) appears to be a side-effect of them owning the plaform.

>Yet Lines-As-Edge supposes that the vision system discards all of this other information present in an image, for just this one special case. Why?

The "other information" is not discarded, it's just not processed yet

I think this is a misrepresentation of how the visual system works and views the vision system as more "batch" than the continuous process it is.

So if you think about it as a time series problem, when light hits the retina then "inference and processing" starts with a kind of "fast and rough" inference and then proceeds to fill in details and contextual coherency follows

I'd have to go pull out the textbooks but if you look at visual interpretation sequence it's something like:

Movement > edges > color > details

So your visual system acting as an object detector - from sensor to inference - makes inferences about movement first, then infers the edges, then infers color and finally additional details in the last few ms

Nothing is "discarded" it's just less relevant in the first pass and additional refinements happen mostly sequentially - this all happens in nearly imperceptible time.

This is obviously not Cloudflare's fault, but I wonder why they don't just mask their identity (e.g. by using a random AWS IP address) when querying archive.is?

AFAICT this wouldn't "violate the integrity of DNS and the privacy and security promises we made to our users" and would solve a big pain point of using 1.1.1.1.
Not sure what you mean by production, but we have run a couple of multi-hour meetings with Jitsi with no complaints.

This is super misleading because it ignores the fact that archive.* goes out of their way to make CF DNS not work.

Let the student/purchaser of the education decide this. Not middle aged university bureaucrats trying to optimize the tuition profits. Give students the time back to volunteer or spend time locally working at hobbies/clubs. Not everyone is interested in Humanities, Arts, Diversity and Multiculturalism. They likely received 100s of hours of that in k-12. Time to be an adult.

What is harm reduction though? The catch with severe addiction is that those suffering actively fight against treatment as a result of the disease. Is there a point of functioning at which we can force an opioid addict into treatment? Or is harm reduction just to let those folks live in oblivion indefinitely?

I'm genuinely asking because I've mostly thought of "harm reduction" as actions to prevent issues like the spread of disease through needles or the lacing of street drugs. Which are important no doubt, and perhaps legalization (w/ heavy regulations) + harm reduction would be better than the current highly flawed system. There are just some drugs that are so destructive to their users that I don't see how they can be sufficiently fought without some force at some step.

If by that you mean Paul Manafort helped install a Russian puppet as president who was ousted by the Ukrainian people, then you could argue that, but Ukraine is a sovereign and has been since the 90s. Your argument is the same as Putin's, claiming it isn't an invasion because Ukraine is Russia's!
I've never hosted my own jitsi instance, but I use it quite frequently for a variety of purposes both personal and professional. It is, in my opinion, the best of all the conference systems out there, FLOSS or otherwise.

Every other solution has consistent technical problems for me, worse hurdles for adoption (with jitsi, I just send a link to friends, nothing to download or install), significant dark patterns, or awful performance. Jitsi has none of that, and on top of it, is privacy-respecting and focused on the public good.

All the best,

The other side of that study (The infamous OKcupid one, it seems to be the source of all these) is that once women engage with men, their expectations normalize, and they end up with like rated men.

The core issue is just getting women to engage with realistically viable men. This has never been a (huge) issue ever before because until right now, the only way to meet people was face to face encounters. Nature solved for the problem, and online dating broke it.
This is an industry where a combination of tenacity and intelligence goes a long way. Since I had to take over the company I currently run, I have been looking for someone to take over my position.

Exactly. Which means 80% of men will have a real issue finding partners (or already are).
