It's deceptive and there is no reason to believe that after some more backlinks are generated by being deceived, that the owners of the fake site wouldn't change the download to their own modified version.

It's a security nightmare and overall just scummy behavior.
That doesn’t prevent them from respecting the TTL values, and returning them to downstream clients. They might not keep the record cached for a day, but that doesn’t mean end user can’t keep it cached. But of course that only works if Google respects the provided TTL, and don’t rewrite to something much lower.

I think the concern is that it climbs the search rankings and then decides to redirect elsewhere. Unfortunately this is not an usual pattern / been seen before.

It already is pushing malicious ads on it. THAT is a problem already.
Yes - probably a lot of regular commenters on HN are among the top 1% in intelligence.
The site is down now so I can’t confirm, but I assume the site serves ads, which means Google is happy to have people visit it and profit.
I love qntm's fiction, and it was quite interesting to see different viewpoints with AI assisted coding in articles.

I primarily use it for smart autocomplete (using Cursor.sh's Copilot++) and it's _genius_ for autocompleting the current and the next 1-2 lines.

That's all? I always kind of assumed they had more going on. Hoped it, for their sakes.
The biggest owner of TSMC is National Development Fund, which is a fund owned by Saudi Arabia. I'm not sure if a US owned fund would be slower and more ineffective in corporate governance than a Saudi owned one.
If you look at the animation linked in the article, you can see that they did orbit each other, not only that but if you look at the time scale in the lower part of the screen, you can see that they were doing that at a crazy frequency (about 8 full revolutions in the last 30 milliseconds) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PKsBwH_bJE

> I guess the question is whether doing this (injecting yourself into the download flow for an open source piece of software and profiting via ads while doing so) is "malicious".

Yes. It's malicious. You're trying to earn money - in this case, ad revenue - on a piece of software with which you have nothing to do whatsoever. It's not only malicious, it's disgusting. I would state how I really feel, but dang would ban me.
On the other hand because the benchmark is comparative, it doesn't really matter what hardware it's run on. So they might as well just run it on decently recent hardware. The person on that 10y old laptop is going to have a bad experience anyway, it's just not very relevant for the actual comparison.
I'm Brazilian and when I moved back home for a bit the country had recently inaugurated a national exam for all high-schoolers. About maybe a year after, they'd publish an anonymized data set for researchers with a nice question-by-question breakdown of how every student performed. I worked at a school at the time, and one thing we wanted to know was how WE had performed in the questions so we could gauge if there were some things our students were consistently unprepared for.

They didn't provide that data, but it turns out with a little bit of grokking and staring at that 10gb text file, you could reverse engineer it so you could extract all the kids of a given school, and aggregate all of their answers. I produced a nice little report for our admins, with the questions of the text next to how we had performed in the aggregate and state averages, as well as averages of our "competitor schools."

The best part, though, is how I remember it being a bit "bullshit" that we, a private school, could afford to do this, but since the data was actually valuable to inform practice, surely the department of education should do that for every school! Whelp, over the weekend, I computed that info for every school in the dataset, and just stored a CSV for every school in an S3 instance (this was my ridiculous caching strategy lol). Spun up a frontend where you could select your school, and nicely visually go through every question, as well as print a pdf summary of the whole thing. On Monday morning tweeted at an ed journalist, and in a few days had a spread of me in the country's top newspaper, and people emailing about jobs "at my company."

This was the most rewarding project I've ever done, and I'm sad to say nothing has come close since. It cost me $0, produced a public good that I could see was being accessed from every state in the whole country, was technically interesting, and I saw it through from start to finish over the weekend!
>Maximilian Koehler, PhD candidate at ESMT, and Henry Sauermann, professor of strategy at ESMT, make the case for software-as-a-supervisor in a paper titled "Algorithmic management in scientific research."

I guess "AI is coming for the supervision of scientific research" doesn't have the same kick to it as the submissions title. Leadership is about people, not about tasks. But somehow I'm not surprised that this went over the head of "the register".

So a lot will have in their contract with their processor that they actually can accept Visa/Mastercard, so the sign is there to put you off.

But actually a lot don't, and when you try to pay, even contactless, with a non-Girocard, it won't work.

Visa and Mastercard don't magically let you on their network because you have a card machine.

That's Beijing rhetoric.

They can't take it back because it's never been theirs. It would be more accurate to say they want to conquer the last remaining territory from the legitimate government of China and wipe out the main alternative to their hegemony.
Signal acts as a central key server and can present different identity keys to users, so signal itself can middle communications unless there is out-of-band verification of identity keys.

> For spreading DNS providers, would randomly routing to different ones be more or less private than rotating providers every X minutes.

Less private for the simple fact that now you'd have to rely on multiple upstream resolvers to respect your privacy. Stick to one; ideally the one with better privacy guarantees like the Mozilla endpoints to Cloudflare DNS.

Or, use anonymizing protocols like Oblivious DNS over HTTP and DNSCrypt v3.
Things “fitting together” is generally on management though. Can’t speak for other industries but if you leave this up to engineers then they settle down into something like design by contract, or you write my tests I’ll write yours, etc. management often actively resists that with or without wfh because they don’t get to run fiefdoms on the strengths of their network and charisma, look important by forcing meetings, etc.

So effectively you have middle management failing to be fulfilled at an emotional level as well as failing at a professional level to do management, and their plan to deal with this is to first blame others, then try to convince leadership to kill wfh for line workers before anyone notices the real problem.

Nothing against any individuals out there, just seen these things play out a lot and have been having the wfh discussions since long before Covid.

Technical alignment is easy in a sense because it’s clear when two ends of a bridge don’t meet in the middle. Product people or department heads have a harder time of things, but if I were a ceo, I don’t want to buy office space for 2500 when 25 will do.

It’s kind of evil to advocate for back-to-office if you know it’s good for you, but bad for both the company and your coworkers, and I expect many of the most vocal advocates know these things in their secret hearts

Very neat tool, and I'd love to pay for the actual product but $100/month is too much unfortunately.
Your definition of maliciousness is basically user-centric, rather than provider-centric. It is malicious from the perspective of the maintainers of N++ because it robs them of the ability to control their image for the users who find the product through the parasitic page (which is obviously a worse UX).

As someone with a nasty allergy to dogs(all dogs with zero exceptions) I wouldn't be able to work in such an office. And from experience, this isn't seen as a reasonable thing, even in agencies/companies purporting accessibility.
Even that link doesn't claim to be comprehensive, including an extremely vague "shell scripting languages (like Bash, PowerShell)," as if I am supposed to cross my fingers and hope this means a nonstandard shell like fish works, when it seems like that could introduce weird or inscrutable bugs coming from incompatible bash syntax. (One under-discussed downside of LLM code generation is that it further penalizes innovation in programming languages.)

What I find frustrating is that Cody is doing deterministic language-specific tricks that don't depend on the underlying LLM, so why not just give a list of all the languages you did deterministic tricks for and call that the supported languages? Why be vague? Why deflect to the underlying LLM to encourage people to try your product with languages you won't do any work to support?

Claiming it works on "all programming languages" is lazy and dishonest, and clearly false. There's nothing magical about LLMs that relieves software developers of the duty to specify the limitations of their software.
Any reason you think so or are you just not paying attention? Far-right sentiment is rising in the US by any metric.
You don't know that they do. They did redirect when you tested, but they may not for everyone. They could easily selectively download-snipe anyone they have identified by IP address or even regional. Big security threat.

As I understand it, the gift is, for the most part, what we'd call 'funny money' - no one's really handing over the proverbial briefcase of USD$11B in return for them building out a fab plant on US soil.

While the figures are referred to as loans, I suspect in practice they manifest quite differently.

99% of the new css features are not known or just unknown, because it's a hassle to use them. Syntax is just plain braindead. Just look at animations, grid and flexbox. These are supposed to fix lots of CSS2 era problems, and they do so in a mindboggingly shitty way. I mean anyone, who was responsible should be shot. And since it's a standard, it won't change for years to come.

So the idiots who established these new, contrived CSS syntaxes literally making people go on all fours, because... well, because they have the power to release such a mountain of shit.

Microsoft's Internet Explorer bullied every web developer for decades. Now Safari earned the honour of becoming the bully amongst web browsers, with their we just couldn't care less attitude. They do things here and there just a tad bit different, because, well, they are Apple, and everyone can fuck off. Like their fullscreen media query implementation, or the blur rendering outside viewport shenanigans just to name a few of their idiotic choices.

And Chrome... we need to wrestle away the browser from Google. The sooner, the better.

Uhm... In Chile I was in same limbo for almost 4 years - my temp residency expired, before the expiration had option to either leave the country or request permanent residency. I opted for the latter, submitted all the documents and... waited almost 3 years for the resolution. In the meantime I had my ID but it expired and I couldn't request new one. Supposedly with a certificate that I'm in the process of getting permanent residency I could use the expired ID but lots of institutions, especially banks, would simply ignore the law and reject the ID as invalid...
Earplugs at least.

I built https://upfollow.app to help a product manager have a better relationship with the software engineers. It makes it easy to create calendar reminders to follow up on features and other requests that she is waiting on. This provides a little structure, allows delivery estimates to change, limits interruption/nagging, and still catches rabbit holes or distractions before they can prevent features getting put in front of users.
Can Using a Grammar Checker Set Off AI-Detection Software?

So, I just googled notepad++, then scrolled down to just the link. I didn't click it. However, I enable regional blocking for my home router which blocks traffic for certain countries and I just got a notification that it blocked traffic from notepad.plus. Without even clicking on it.. I am guessing this is Google's fault with fetching some sort of data while loading the search page, but thought it odd.
The code never advanced beyond some hack scripts and a Jupyter notebook. Cleaning it up and perhaps making it into web app has been on my todo list for the past 2-3 years. Maybe this reminder will be the kick I need to actually do something about it.
The face cannot be covered and if you're allowed to wear a hat for instance, it's not that the hijab of muslims covers anything that's needed for a positive visual ID.

However.. what strikes me most is that muslims seem to have issues with whatever ruling is present in a state or country. In Belgium, we have/had equal debates. Governmental workers that address public cannot wear visible religious symbols (christians can wear a cross around their neck for instance, but have to have it under their clothes), jews have to remove their kippah but lo and behold, muslims are the only community making a fuzz about the fact they have to remove their head scarf.

I think is more increasingly becoming a problem. Most muslim states puts the believe above the law, or at least adhere to the sharia where faith dictates the law. They seem to expect that countries respect their religion, even if it collides with current law and regulations.

Well, when you come to a country you should make an effort to adopt the country's values and customs. If you stay for longer you should also make an effort to learn the language.

If you are not doing any of that is that really that surprising that people are getting fed up with it?

Whoops: Data Broker Data Reveals Rich Visitors to Jeffrey Epstein's Island
One person's Schwachsinn is another's Vernunft.

I've never actually looked at the German budget (quasi B1 deutschkenntnisse and no training in economics, what would I get from reading them?), what I can say is that it's very easy to fall into the trap described by Chesterton's fence and call for the removal of things because you don't understand them, not because they're actually bad.

For example, someone I used to know in the UK said much the same about his taxes paying for schools, just because he personally didn't have kids.
Preface by Albert Einstein:

>I have read the book of Upton Sinclair with great interest and am convinced that the same deserves the most earnest consideration, not only of the laity, but also of the psychologists by profession. The results of the telepathic experiments carefully and plainly set forth in this book stand surely far beyond those which a nature investigator holds to be thinkable. On the other hand, it is out of the question in the case of so conscientious an observer and writer as Upton Sinclair that he is carrying on a conscious deception of the reading world; his good faith and dependability are not to be doubted. So if somehow the facts here set forth rest not upon telepathy, but upon some unconscious hypnotic influence from person to person, this also would be of high psychological interest. In no case should the psychologically interested circles pass over this book heedlessly.
> Insurances are already reacting. Just a few days ago there was an article showing how home insurances are cancelling contracts based on drone and other aerial surveillance, yeeting people for the horror of having a trampoline in their garden.

If anthropogenic climate change is real, then the insurance on oceanfront properties would be cancelled. That is not happening.

A trampoline leads to neighbors' kids jumping on it and breaking legs, which leads to lawsuits, which lead to losses for insurance companies.

Trampolines are a good reason to cancel homeowners insurance.

THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CLIMATE CHANGE.
What I’m saying is that a publicly owned company has a lot of flexibility in this regard. Employees are not government employees. It’s like a regular private company except the government is the sole shareholder.

My broader point here about self fulfilling prophecy is reflected in your comment: it has been this way, therefore must always be this way. That’s not true.
For those of you griping about German bureaucracy I urge you to come to Italy to learn just how good you have it.

My wife is Italian and wanted to get married in her small home town. In order for her to get married to an American in her home town required paperwork that bordered on the Kafkaesque. We had to show up at the Italian embassy in Washington DC (fortunately we live there!) with proof and witnesses that I was not already married, plus another ten pages of forms. We had multiple stages of notorization. And we had to have forms signed by other witnesses vouching for the truthfulness of our witnesses. In Italy we had to draw up a long declaration of vows in italian -- in Italy, a wedding is a contract -- and then even though I wrote the vows myself in Italian, just because I am American we had to have it translated by someone else back into English, by hand, just so I understood the vows I had myself written. We then had to contract someone to read the vows out loud in English at the ceremony so I understood my own words.

At every step on the way, the bureaucrats apologized for the bureaucracy and asked us the same question, over and over and over again: "Why don't you just get married in the US?"

Don't get me started on the *hilarious* complexity of getting a Permesso di Soggiorno (sort of an Italian Green Card) this year. I applied this past July and there are still more steps to do.

No, please stop trying to redefine words. That's not what "malicious" means.

I agree with you that this website is disgusting and needs to be taken down (as in "down from google") because there's a very real risk that the unscrupulous owners of the website _will eventually serve malicious software_ to juice their profits. But simply serving ads is not what the word "malicious" means.

Last August I built and launched EmailReputation API in about 12 hours both out of frustration due to spammers and bots signing up to things using syntactically valid but still bogus emails, and also as a test to see how much I could lean on AI coding tools to build something new as quickly as possible.
