> Isn't DoH exactly the way to "encrypt the DNS traffic"?

There are any number of ways to do it, the most relevant factor being that the user can choose which DNS server they want to trust, not which protocol you use.

> Because with a VPN, you need a VPN endpoint that costs somebody money to run. With TLS/HTTPS, there are no extra systems in the mix.

Someone is paying to run the DoH servers. You might also ask why they're doing so, for free, when that costs money.

> Don't domains hosting malware get seized and taken down too?

Malware often uses domains on foreign registries that are legally complicated to seize, so it only happens to the most serious offenders and can take a long time.

You also have vendor spyware which is not going to have its domain seized but is also not going to resort to Github pages for name resolution.

> I 100% agree with this. DoH only provides the former, though.

It doesn't. If legitimate applications are using DoH to a server outside of the device owner's control without providing an expedient way to make them all stop, that server can't be blocked without breaking too many things, and then malware running on the owner's device can use it without being blocked or monitored.

> Other than Firefox, what applications currently have Cloudflare hardcoded as their default DoH provider?

When someone is setting a bad precedent it's reasonable to be concerned about what happens when others follow suit.
The term low code is horrible. It's overused, misused and probably created by a marketing team to sell ads.

There are a wide variety of platforms. Some are very open and honest about their core use cases (forms, Crud apps, automations). I work for an open source platform, Budibase, and they're pretty open in re to their use cases.

Others promise the world (SaaS apps, social networks) which are outside of their capabilities and probably not a great investment imo.

Spreadsheets are still dominant, but they're also the reason why many users turn to a low code platform.

Always worth remembering that rising tides aren't the only water risk. Where I am, tidal and storm water rises on the river caused our last islanding flood a year ago, I was stranded with my partner 9 floors up without power for a week and no lifts for longer. Some apts did not get flood insurance payout because it was judged overland water incursion not true river flood.

Recovery of a tube line post flood is a royal pain. London has flood gates and I am sure lots of the NY Subway has too but being able to close them isn't always easy.

Building storm water systems into the urban landscape which can clear 60mm of water in an hour let alone 180 in 24 hours is really hard. In Japan Tokyo has had to make massive underground cisterns to deal with storm surge.

I grew up in the UK, where teachers at the time were banned by law from saying it was OK to be gay:

> "shall not intentionally promote homosexuality or publish material with the intention of promoting homosexuality" or "promote the teaching in any maintained school of the acceptability of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship"

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_28

And there are socially taboo topics today. I suspect even mentioning some of them here might create a flame war and annoy dang, so I won't.

Instead I'll point to drug references in films and TV, where weed was for a long time as taboo as LSD and heroin; and that in Anglosphere media, sex is more taboo than violence ("Straight up murder? Put that in a kid's film. Nipples, on mammary glands, the defining characteristic of mammals and a thing that infants have a biological imperative to stick into their mouths in order to not starve to death before the invention of fake ones on milk bottles? Banned for being too sexual.")

Despite these examples of mistakes when restricting speech, I am not a free speech absolutist. This is because I'm not an anything absolutist: there are limits to all things, finding the true boundaries isn't as trivial to pointing out the first two examples that come to mind, if that's one on either side saying the standard is half way between them, if they're on the same side rejecting the possibility of the other.

It's like being in the countryside, where each inn and resting spot has a fire going on. You can spot them by their smoke trails. Then some entrepreneurial individual wants to grab market share from the punters and puts up a massive tire fire. A billowing column of black smoke will be seen from way further off, and as luck would have it, blocks visibility to anything behind it. It also makes the surrounding environment worse off for everyone.

And anyone who is attracted by the big flames will soon find themselves inhaling toxins.
Readable text provides immersion and context, which allows implicitly absorbing the most common grammatical constructs and intuiting vocabulary.

Anecdotally I can’t recall being anything more than a middling student of English until I reached the end of the translated discworld volumes and figured there was a lot more to read if I but acquired them in the original English. Some contribution can also be credited to getting into computing although mostly because EverQuest required daily interactions with English sites and speakers.

Dutch is not as stable as other languages over time. We've had a few spelling reforms and trying to read 17th century Dutch is actually not that easy even for native speakers. Old Dutch is more similar to German than modern Dutch.

I live in Germany and I always joke that Dutch is basically simplified German. The two languages are obviously related but we got a bit pragmatic about some of their more convoluted grammar choices and they gradually disappeared from the language. For example, we have male and female words but we only use two instead of three articles: de for male/female, het for the neutral form instead of die/der/das. Which is similar to the English the and it. Several articles still used in German (e.g. des and den) completely disappeared from the language but used to be common. A nice example where you still see this are place names like Den Haag or s'Gravenhage, which is short for Des Gravenhage and refers to the same city (The Hague).

As for accents, those would be one of the things that got removed from the language or have become optional. E.g. you don't see a lot of ë used in modern Dutch anymore but that is a recent change (in the nineties). The use of computers has accelerated this because we use keyboards without support for this (English layout basically). In highschool, I used things like wordperfect and memorized some of the key codes for accents so I could type this letter. Oddly, an e with an umlaut is not a thing in German or in French.

Also as you mention we use letter combinations for things that have e.g. an umlaut in German. For example ö is written "eu" in Dutch. The ü becomes "uu" and we use oe for the German u. French accents used to be common but have not survived language reforms. We even have some 3 and 4 letter combinations that tend to confuse the hell out of foreigners. E.g. the Dutch translation of lion would be leeuw. Löwe in German would be close in pronounciation.

I lived in Sweden for a while. The Scandinavians did a similar modernization and simplification of their grammar last century. This actually makes it relatively easy to learn. It's a pretty regular language with a fairly straightforward grammar. Also, the grammars of Norwegian, Danish, and Swedish are basically the same. The Swedish use a few different letters e.g. ö in Swedish vs. ø in Norwegian and Danish. But otherwise the languages are very similar in written form. Icelandic is a bit weirder but basically a Scandinavian language as well.

Was it expected to be a love-in, though?

Otherwise it's just an unashamed and vacuous PR stunt.

The expected pricing is very strange:

Regular Twitch Neurons (RTN) - running wherever there's capacity at $0.01 / 1k neurons

Fast Twitch Neurons (FTN) - running at nearest user location at $0.125 / 1k neurons

Neurons are a way to measure AI output that always scales down to zero. To give you a sense of what you can accomplish with a thousand neurons, you can: generate 130 LLM responses, 830 image classifications, or 1,250 embeddings.

Who came up with this? This is ridiculous. I understand the underlying issues but would still prefer a metric like seconds of utilization multiplied by the size of worker.

Besides this, the expected pricing doesn't talk about the expected pricing but just the pricing model. Have the feeling that this is not going to be competitive to platforms like Vast.ai

Some gases produced by simple organisms can also have non organic origins. So, ideally it would be complex chemistry to increase the likelihood it's not simpler origins.

Finding simpler organism evidence would of course be huge but it would remain a single evidence basis for a long time I think. Finding more distinct complex products would help.

Finding RF with a structural asymmetry implying information is the gold standard.

Ah ok I found it there, I see what you mean now. My only guess would be cache effects? With that large AVL tree (1 M entries, so likely dozens of MiB), you are escaping L2 cache and hitting shared L3 or main memory for a large portion of lookups, and are bandwidth-constrained at the die level, thus adding that knee (which I think is visible with some of the other algorithms as well).
Tell HN: Google to shutdown Jamboard by Oct 1st, 2024
Dear Jamboard user,

We’re writing to let you know that we will wind down the Jamboard app next year, and offer integrations with industry-leading third-party whiteboard tools FigJam, Lucidspark, and Miro as alternatives for whiteboarding in Google Workspace. These popular tools have numerous advanced features that empower users to collaborate seamlessly together inside of Google Workspace. Starting October 1, 2024, you’ll no longer be able to create new or edit existing Jams on any platform, including the web, iOS, and Android. Between October 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024, the app will be placed in “view-only” mode, during which time you can continue to back up your Jam files.

It's difficult to understand the value proposition of std::experimental::simd. Standardization has taken many years, lost the "load/store" function naming which just about everyone everywhere(?) is using, and only resulted in ~30 ops [1] that are also mostly achievable with compiler builtins or perhaps even autovectorization.

Four years ago, we stepped in with Highway to fill the gap; it now has about 250 ops [2] and an active community. I have not wanted to step on any toes, but wonder whether the ship has by now sailed on this?

Makes a lot of sense to me, so am I. These models are not trained to generate truthful statements, but statements that sound plausible… just like fake news.

I think this is more interesting:

> [LLMs] are more prone to flagging LLM-generated content as fake news while often misclassifying human-written fake news as genuine.

> To address this, we introduce a mitigation strategy that leverages adversarial training with LLM-paraphrased genuine news. The resulting model yielded marked improvements in detection accuracy for both human and LLM-generated news.

Alphabetic scripts are arguably not better than syllabic or ideographic scripts. They take less time to learn and are better able to capture the sounds of foreign words, but they are less efficient to mentally process. An already literate scribe working on one language only gets no advantage from an alphabet.

My own theory (as an amateur interested in both linguistics and the history of this time period) is that the late Bronze Age collapse resulted in the decline of Akkadian and the accompanying cuneiform writing system as a diplomatic language, meaning that (1) records started being recorded in the local language only, and (2) what trade and diplomacy did happen had to be multilingual. In this contex, the alphabet does win out. And this is precisely when we saw the alphabet spread across the ancient near east and Mediterranean.
I am reminded of a 1973 story by Frederick Pohl called "In The Problem Pit" ( https://www.rulit.me/books/in-the-problem-pit-read-682068-1.... ). In the story the Arecibo telescope itself had been abandoned and it took place in a network of natural caves underneath it, a silo of sorts where people gathered in a 'think tank'.

"And then, when all radio telescopy was driven to the far side of the Moon by a thousand too many radio-dispatched taxicabs and a million too many radar ovens, the observatory no longer served a function and was abandoned."

The events in the tale take place in ~2048 and Pohl imagined that even at that future date the rusted cables were still holding the catwalk aloft. He did not live to see the facility's collapse.
That's true, but the strange thing is it has hardly evolved from that. Why does not my phone operator allow me to set policies / firewalls in place, at their end? All such filtering now needs to happen in my actual phone.
