That's a clickbait title, the article implies that a lot of kitchen fumes are toxic to birds and that can include fumes released when a skillet is left on the stove with nothing in it. It could me that teflon is worse than everything else, but there is not enough information to reach this conclusion. Would a plastic handle melting and burning on the stove be better? Chili fumes of strengths that make humans cough and eyes water? I don't yet see evidence that if one gets rid of teflon, it's Ok to cook around birds without same precautions.

I'm always curious what threat model that is valid against TPMs is not also valid against CPUs and main memory.
I think you are right but I also think that's a good thing. The web is a spec so every new implementation improves it. Serenity is apparently writing it's browser to more closley follow the spec (as opposed to just producing the right outputs) which is also good. So I think Ladybird provides more improvements to the web as a whole compared to the improvments serenity brings to operating systems as a whole. That's probably why it has more sponsors.

However the unique prop here is that it's web-based.

Let’s not ignore that if you’re a company self-hosting a highly available Exchange installation (plus backup infrastructure and maybe near-line storage solutions for mail), it’s almost certainly comprised of very expensive capital and > an FTE of labor, all which are entirely a waste of time and resources at this point.

There are vanishingly few circumstances where it makes sense for an organization to be funding deep expertise for the direct management of an Exchange environment. This has been clear for nearly a decade.

The capex to refresh that hardware is a ridiculous waste, so yeah, it wouldn’t surprise me if the people still running those setups have very aged installations (e.g. WinSrvr 2008-12), which are as great a risk as the Exchange Server software they’re running.

The gating factor is often the expertise to plan and execute a migration with minimal disruption and loss. It’s not simple, and it’s nothing like an exchange upgrade project. It’s a downright UGLY project if a company has been abusing their mail system for years (e.g. using their mail system as a document management platform since ‘99, allowing distributed PSTs, etc.). Seen it.

Sorry, my initial comment probably come off quite differently. It's not that "using web UI" is the reason why this game has awful performance, that's more like a bellwether for the studio's priorities.

It's absolutely not the most important, or even in the top 10 most important problems here, but it shows really illustratively how much they care about making a game which performs in an acceptable way. (which is: not that much)

Also, it's not even one or two high-poly models dragging the performance down, what I was aiming at is that the game suffers from death by a thousand cuts - the LoDs are only a part of the issue, almost every part of the game is done in a sub-optimal way. So while the UI is not a significant part of the frame time, if they fix the most glaring performance issues, they will find that there won't be a silver bullet, the game is just a pile of small performance problems all the way down.

Was that a joke? There doesn't seem to be any implication this is running k8s?
> This mesh of a pile of logs is similarly only used in the shadow rendering pass, and features over 100K vertices.

But… why?
My website runs on baling twine and duct tape (...and CloudFlare).

Have you heard of Factorio :)
I got a gateway error. Perhaps it "works on your machine" only. :-D
I don't disagree with you at all, your point is important to communicate and debate on! But the framing of the original comment was unproductive and only served to hurt the argument.

I, personally, think that AI is a tremendous opportunity that we should be investing in and pushing forward. And my existing dislike of property right laws does feed into my views on the training data discussion; prioritizing a revolution in productivity over preservation of jobs for the sake of maintaining the status quo. But I'm not stupid enough to think there will be no consequences for being unprepared for the future.

Rather unfortunately, I'm not quite clever enough to see what being prepared would actually look like either.
I wonder if releasing a widely anticipated game unfinished is sometimes actually strategically beneficial marketing wise. Perhaps it's a marketing dark pattern?

It makes the game stay in people's minds longer because people keep coming back to it asking "is it good yet, have they fixed it yet?". It kind of feels it has worked like that for Cyberpunk. If it's a finished game on launch day people will quickly make up their minds if it's for them and then move on.

Personally I would be on the fence about buying it even if it was good on launch and I would probably not buy it straight away. But I might just change my mind if I get reminded of it enough times. Then again I felt like that about Cyberpunk as well and I still haven't bought it.
The tutorial talks about how to do a local webserver where you manually navigate to the IP address. How is this being served over the internet?
100,000 vertices for a pile of logs and 10,000 for teeth inside a characters head is hilarious.

It blows me away how bad everyone is at their jobs. Imagine spending all day working on something and then you just make it garbage.
> in a way that is completely dependent upon their own prior work

Ultimately information has to come from somewhere. If something has no information about what a "car" is, it cannot paint a car more successfully than a random guess. When you draw a car or write an algorithm to do so, you'll be slightly affected by the existing car designs you've seen. It's not a limitation specific to AI - it's just more obscured for humans since there's no explicit searchable database of all the cars you've glanced at.

Whether it was affected by (and dependant on in aggregate) prior work is not the standard for copyright infringement, and I'd claim would implicate essentially all action as infringement. Instead, it should be judged by whether there's substantial similarity - and if there is substantial similarity, then by the factors of fair use.
Interestingly, the US seems fairly similar to Japan: Large tolerance for violence, small tolerance for nudity. Which is strange, given that US has much stronger connections to Europe. (Though I'm not a Japan expert.)

Weird Al gets permission and licenses for every song parody he makes. The legal definition of parody in fair use wouldn't exactly cover everything he does.

That being said, there's still occasionally times where he gets screwed over by the licensing machine anyway - either because the label forgot to ask the artist (Amish Paradise) or because the artist forgot to ask the label (You're Pitiful).

That is silly. People argued about whether cars are good for the environment or whether we should create a walkable society, or policies about climate change, and so forth. They are always arguing about the consequences of their actions.

At the end of the day, people don't follow some sort of pure moral philosophy like some sort of platonic ideals.
Yes, he admitted multiple times that it was all just an act for public perception. Can't get much more clear than this:

Ask HN: How do you promote your product outside of Reddit, HN, PH, and IH?
Context: I have built a free web game that has a small, yet stable group of users that plays it daily. This was mostly through word-of-mouth. I posted on Reddit, Hacker News, Product Hunt, Indie Hackers but those didn't really yield a significant change in traffic or users.

Is the only remaining option for growth to spend money on ads?
Looks really neat.

Are there any good LLM writing apps out yet where it’s not just “writing/code on the left, chat on the right”? I feel like there could be much smoother UX where you’re able to zoom in on sections of your document, conversate about it with the llm and iteratively work through changes, then zoom back out and hop into another area. Almost like if you were peer writing/programming with someone who is observing your writing and offering suggestions, or able to take a second look at a part of something and help you optimize it in context.

I feel like with locally hostable LLMs improving so rapidly, it will become tenable to just be constantly querying the AI as you’re working, allowing for proactive engagement by the AI, which is obviously cost prohibitive today when using API-based LLMs
This is not only about leadership style, but also founding. I don't know the current TS team, but I know its dozens of full time workers backed by microsoft, not only core devs, but community organizers, evangelists, etc. There is no comparison to an independent project.

I bet whoever worked on the actual simulation worked really hard for years to make it run efficiently.

Why would any supplier want to do business with Cloudflare now? You have 1.8MW of datacenter space to lease, you have a few interested parties, how could you not view Cloudflare as a huge reputational risk? Why even do the business? Why not lease that space to someone else? Moreover, why renew the existing deals with Cloudflare?

Does Cloudflare have a plan to move 200+ racks in Oregon if that supplier decides just not to renew that deal whenever it comes up next? Are Cloudflare claiming they were able to build a technical plan which gets their architecture away from this site being a SPOF before the deal is up to renew, or is the CEO making a gamble here again?

Cloudflare have demonstrated their willingness to create reputational issues for suppliers by publicly shaming two of them recently, and here, in only about 2 days from incident. One interpretation of this blog would be Cloudflare are a very unreasonable customer and one who is willing to post incomplete or informal information from their suppliers. Cloudflare also chose to focus the first half of a lengthy postmortem on blaming the supplier and only then on their own culpability for the outage, despite it clearly being a shared responsibility.

One of the diagrams Cloudflare have posted is clearly marked "Proprietary and Confidential". Do Cloudflare have permission to post that? It's not clearly stated that they do. Should other suppliers expect when the sh*t hits the fan that any sensitive information they've shared will be part of a blog?

Most of the "Lessons and Remediation" section is stuff Cloudflare could have worked on at any point in advance of a major incident, and Cloudflare's senior management have quite clearly chosen not to prioritize that work until today, when forced to by this major incident.

When signing large deals, Cloudflare will frequently have to complete 'Supplier Disclosures', and they are also making claims through industry-standard certifications [1] like ISO, SOC and FedRAMP. Most of those will ask questions about the disaster recovery and business continuity plans and Cloudflare will have (repeatedly) attested they are adequate, something that this blog clearly demonstrates was a misrepresentation of their true capabilities.

Will there be an SEC disclosure coming out of this considering it could have material impacts on the business, which is publicly traded? Was there any requirement that the SEC disclosure come first, or be concurrent with a blog?

You know that old saying... feed a fever, starve a cancer.
I would believe this.... if
1. games made 15 or 20 years ago
2. and indie games made today
would not be able to manage it.

It's always the bigger studios who utterly mess up in making an actually playable game, which indicates that the problem is not something inherent but a simple product of laziness and greed. (Latest example: see Creative Assembly's meltdown)
Show HN: Sensitive Image Redaction for Secure AI Usage
Hey HN, we are the MarchAPI team, focused on enabling secure and compliant AI usage by enterprise companies.

We are seeing a few startups tackle this same challenge, but our solution is on-prem tools that are embedded across a company's stack (code, API, access controls, auditing/reporting, policies, user training).

We wanted to share and get feedback on our image redaction tool. It's not complex, but we think companies needed simple, on-prem tools to enable their employees to complete tasks with AI services. Let us know what you think?
I don't buy that excuse. To me it seems more like game developers have become complacent with the powerful hardware consumers have at their disposal, especially on PCs, and the fact they can always push fixes after the release. Decades ago it used to be a major milestone when a game "went gold". It meant QA was successful and that the game was fully playable. Budget and deadlines also existed back then, but there was (usually) much more care taken to ensure a good gaming experience, regardless of the hardware. Saying that only a few companies can do this successfully today is excusing objectively bad development practices.

Consumers should vote with their wallet, and stop preordering and falling for preorder bonuses and marketing hype, which is another disease affecting modern gaming. Unfortunately, publishers know that they can release a lackluster product based on hype alone (No Man's Sky, Cyberpunk 2077), and then spend years "polishing" a game into a state they promised before the initial release. The modern gaming industry is rife with scams like these to the point that it should be heavily regulated. So, no, none of these companies can be excused for releasing a garbage product and charging full price for it.
Linux is perfectly capable of good font rendering. A lot of people dont care/cant tell and show off screenshots in which they are intending to show off their theme/backgrounds/colors and are only unintentionally show off the fact that their choice of fonts and settings they tweaked for no reason is subjectively or objectively worse than default.
try consulting with the folks on /r/fatFIRE on reddit (if you're okay with that). many folks on there in your position, i'd assume.
I (and some others I know) have had myriad problems with NextDNS. I switched to ControlD a few weeks back, and it's working well so far.
Because the kind of drug use you're thinking of means addiction to a substance (one that typically numbs you or makes you feel unnaturally happy). Here he's discussing about people improving their condition after a single dose.
Stated without argument: "EA, in its cold calculus, can justify the unjustifiable in pursuit of an ill-defined "greater good." I'd love to hear an actual argument for that. What sort of cold calculus can justify the unjustifiable? Isn't that a contradiction in terms?

I'd love to hear an actual argument for it. I don't want to think that Joan Westenberg (whoever that is) is a purveyor of twisted words.

(There are more examples in the article, I picked one because I like examples.)
Exactly, but the improved efficiency is more than the loss from leaving it on.

I think I kind of know what you mean, but don't want to assume.
I think the key thing is that everything he's ever said and done (including the stuff that harmed only Sam Bankman Fried as well as the stuff that benefited him and the stuff that was illegal and lost his customers money) screams gambling addict.

Its debatable whether the EA stuff was rationalisation of those impulses or reputation laundering, but he was quite explicit about the fact that his idea of "saving humanity" involved making massive financial bets whilst dismissing the idea of hedging against the downsides even in fawning interviews published by VCs that had invested in him. In that respect, his public image was entirely in keeping with the sort of person that wouldn't be bothered by a few regulations about customer funds, because what if he could double them by ignoring the regulation?...
Can someone expand on exactly what is meant by "model LOD" in this context?

Does the commenter mean they should have implemented a system to reduce texture resolution or polygon count dynamically, eg. depending on what's in view or how far away it is? That the artists should have made multiple version of assets with coarse variants removing things like computer cables from desks in buildings?
I was also put off by that, but consider the maintainers perspective: The more versions, the more combinatorics (also considering install time), which means more ways for bugs to occur. Then someone files a bug, does not give all the dependencies' versions, once you have them ... there is little a maintainer can do with limited time when upstream says "update to the latest version we released". Old versions are remembered in the git repo history of the package tree IIRC.
Well certainly, everything is a negotiation and boundaries are important. Commitment means different things to different people. 50% of first marriages end of divorce. If you’re asking for more commitment then that for these transient/ephemeral experiences, hooboy do I have bad news for you. Take what you can get but hope for the best.
Buses are very hard on pavement, once your bus lane is end of life rail would have been cheaper. A bus also has much less total capacity so if it becomes popular you need to.figure out how to get a train there.

Buses are great for roads where there isn't much traffic. However if traffic is bad you have enough demand that a train is better investment.
Kotlin now also targets WASI for server-side Wasm applications. Combined to Kotlin/Wasm browser support, that’s a powerful combo.

Notice the footprint is very small (3k for an hello world).
Sure, but this is Paradox, a company that constantly makes buckets of money on DLC for Stellaris, Europa universalis, crusader kings, etc. I doubt they were about to run out of money. They just had to release a new race of scantily dressed aliens for stellaris and they’d be good for another half a year.
Yeah, this title confused me
private information is not to be put on the internet in the clear.

that's why we laugh at "data breaches" in the form of public s3 buckets and the likes.
human brain may still be orders of magnitude more powerful computation tool compared to modern GPU clusters, and you have 8B semiorganized humans on the planet.

In many African countries boobs are even less taboo than in Europe though. In some countries women were pretty much always topless before westerners arrived (in South America, Africa, and countries like Bali). The aversion to nudity seems to be the strongest in Muslim countries.
I think parent meant to imply there is a similarly wasteful culture in frontend development so of course they'd use react for menus and labels.
There is something to it. If you say it is a "thought experiment" the interpretation is "of it's juts your thoughts right?" When you say "Gedanken ... " it means this is part of real research in physics (since E did it this way)
Really? Shipping logs with 100k vertices and people with individually rendered teeth is an "obvious budget and deadlines" issue?

It strikes me as a "how many idiots are in a position to make important decisions on this game" issue, or "how generally competent is the development team" issue.
> security teams is for when things does not go as expected.

That's an unexpected view. Security teams are experts in security and help application developers think of ways the product could be exploited. Security teams run pen tests and bug bounty programs. Security teams manage compliance.

Separation of duties is a critical part of building a secure system, and you can't have separation of duties properly if app developers do it all.

Don't think of a security team a punishment for when things didn't go as expected, but a good security team can help increase velocity and confidence and security all at the same time.
Or tmux.
I guess neither are as intuitive as clickable buttons though.
