This causes far more harm than good - even this article admits SMS 2FA is better than nothing. For several 99.99999% of use cases, it is fine, SIM swapping is an extremely targeted attack. If you are the type of person that can be targeted by an attack like that, don't use SMS for anything important. Simple.

I've been waiting for an upgrade to my M1 and I still haven't seen one worth spending that much money on. I'd rather just sink that into upgrading my Windows tower.
“Big venues”. lol. I’m sure when Metallica played in russia in 1991 for the 4th largest concert in history it didn’t really happen because according to you they needed digital (glitchy) hardware.

What are you even talking about, man.
i like how simple it is
I was sad both to hear that Pioneer got out of the plasma TV business, and also to let go of mine. It was funny how Pioneer basically perfected the form then promptly exited--true to name I guess. Panasonic bought Pioneer's TV biz, so that was the upside.

I think I would actually enjoy an interview like that.
Show HN: Non Dumb Emails – AI tool for personalized B2B email campaigns
Hi, I've built a demo of an AI tool that takes your recipient list, analyzes information about each person's company, industry, competitors, and sends personalized messages about how your product can solve their specific problems.

I would love if you try the demo with your website and share your opinion.
That really depends what else the company uses your number for now that you have given it to them for 2FA. Often enough it ends up being usable as a one factor for account "recovery".
This article makes a compelling case that GitHub Copilot isn't infringing on our copyright but that doesn't change the fact that it's infringing on something.

A US corporation is slurping up as much open source code as they possibly can and spending bucketloads of money to build a product that they are going to sell for (possibly) more bucketloads of money. The people who worked hard on writing the open source code are getting nothing, except maybe a tighter job market. IMHO, it's hard not to take it personally and it's difficult to get away from the feeling that there is a real injustice taking place.
> impact of internet and social media (and consequently smartphones)

Every article (and a lot of HN comments) seems to blur the distinction between phones and social media. This article already does it in the second sentence. They need to start getting more precise, and studies need to better control for one when they study the other. (Do the actual studies do a proper job distinguishing? I don't follow the research.) Is social media the harmful thing or is it smartphones?
Show HN: I built GithubReader.org for better learning experience
Hey Guys, I created GithubReader.org (open-source, non-profit, most of the code is written by ChatGPT).

My motivation:

I wanted an easy way to keep a list of repositories I want to learn from and access them quickly. So, I built a search page where I can find repositories by name, like Google.

Also, I wanted a nicer way to read Markdown files on my laptop without the GitHub UI, like reading a book. So, I made a custom UI with a back button that takes you to the previous state without jumping pages.

The markdown links are sharable, e.g. https://githubreader.org/render?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com...

Repository URL: https://github.com/agdaily/github-reader/
$50 for 50 GB is a touch steep but that plan does allow usage in-motion. I saw a YouTuber in a plane use it up to 100 MPH.

Exactly this. The concerns about SIM swapping are real but simply do not apply in 99.999999% of cases. It's an extremely targeted attack. Adoption rates of SMS are higher than other more secure methods like authenticator apps, and given the choice of no 2FA and 2FA SMS, you obviously should pick the latter and understand it isn't bulletproof. I find it difficult to come up with any argument otherwise.

I think there is this false idea that if SMS was not an option, people would gravitate to authenticators and other such solutions. I've provided technical support trying to get supposedly technical people to use these tools, and trust me, there are huge hurdles of adoption here. The amount of people that are unable to enter 6 digits into a prompt within 15 seconds is astounding.

Passwordless solutions are cool, and I have implemented them, but are extremely prone to footguns.
I once tried to buy a domain which contained the word "Google" from Namecheap, but I was rejected with an error telling me that I needed to contact support and show that my use of the trademark was approved by Google. So instead I went to Google Domains and bought it from them with no issues.
It's fair that you had a different experience than I had. However, your experience seems to be very close to what I was describing. Cost got prohibitive (splunk), and you chose a different avenue. It's totally acceptable to do that, but your experience doesn't reflect mine, and I don't think I'm the exception.

I've used both grafana+metrics and logs to different degrees. I've enjoyed using both, but any system I work on starts with logs and gradually add metrics as needed, it feels like a natural evolution to me, and I've worked at different scale, like you.

Despite vast implementation constraints spanning diverse biological systems, a clear pattern emerges the repeated and recursive evolution of Universal Activation Networks (UANs). These networks consist of nodes (Universal Activators) that integrate weighted inputs from other units or environmental interactions and activate at a threshold, resulting in an action or an intentional broadcast. Minimally, Universal Activator Networks include gene regulatory networks, cell networks, neural networks, cooperative social networks, and sufficiently advanced artificial neural networks.

Evolvability and generative open-endedness define Universal Activation Networks, setting them apart from other dynamic networks, complex systems or replicators. Evolvability implies robustness and plasticity in both structure and function, differentiable performance, inheritable replication, and selective mechanisms. They evolve, they learn, they adapt, they get better and their open-enedness lies in their capacity to form higher-order networks subject to a new level of selection.
Savings plans, spot, EDP discounts. Some of these have to be applied, right?
Two perspectives: the business and the user.

For a sophisticated user who can confidently use distinct and strong passwords for each service and protect those passwords, SMS-based 2FA offers minimal safety improvement.

For a business, they know that a significant number of their users don't do this. These users are exposed to credential stuffing attacks. SMS-based 2FA means you need to phish somebody (or otherwise obtain the code). That's an improvement for these users.

The only time where there is an active reduction in security is when SMS can be used as single factor. This is frustratingly common for password reset flows, which allows a sim-swap attack to fully compromise an account.
I used to pay around ~2500 a month for 2 kids in the greater DC Area (richest counties in the US).

I'm sure that number has gone up over the last few years but I absolutely do not believe anyone is paying 100k for child care. Like maybe, maybe the highest-end of high end daycares around SF, NYC, DC, etc. would be clocking at at 60k, and for multiple kids.
I would be fine with just a better UI
My daughter loves a show that was put out on Disney+. It had superb production value, wonderfully casted and was based on a series of books that we read together over the course of a few years.

It disappeared from the service. They never released it on Blu-ray. It’s gone forever.

That’s a part of her childhood which we can never revisit. It’s tragic, really.

I have been pondering about this issue for a while. Maybe it is inevitable that successful systems turn into big balls of mud eventually once the "inflection" point has been reached and (slow) deterioration begins.

It is somewhat of a clichè but I think that (interactive) documentation and tooling can make a difference, but it is very difficult to design the process and the tooling to be as frictionless as possible. Tudor Girba and his team at feenk have been doing a lot of interesting work in that area that's worth a look [1, 2].

The software in question might be an entangled mess, a large part of it might be even inherent due to its requirements or technical constraints, but if that messy web can be readily augmented with background information and sign-posts I think the situation could be significantly improved.

On a related note, there has been a project at Xerox PARC called PIE (Personal Information Environment) [3] which has put forward the idea of organizing software and its artifacts (source code, various kinds of documentation) as a network. Although that particular concept has never been adopted in any major programming system as far as I know, I think that it has huge potential, especially if the software, as a network, can be collaboratively navigated and extended with additional information, where and when needed -- online.

Now that all does not change the fact that we are still dealing with a ball (or a web) of mud, but at least it is accessible and we might have a better chance to understand its evolution and the reasons that made it complicated in the first place.

Why does the FPN decoder occasionally underperform compared to the 1x1 convolution
In my usage it's competing with Google searches often those bring up a lot of nonsense. You have to filter it.
Metrics are only good when you can disregard some amount of errors without investigation. But they're a financial organization, they have a certain amount of liability. Generalized metrics won't help to understand what happened to that one particular transaction that failed in a cumbersome way and caused some money to disappear.

Why do you think anyone is coddling when saying "Try to maintain a healthy weight". Its also not about carbs but calories.
I like FIDO U2F as a second factor, although you always need a fallback of some kind in case you are stuck using a device without a USB port. I don't like it as a single factor, as most devices make it hard or impossible to back up your keys. Using Passkeys with Bitwarden is pretty interesting though, and appears to satisfy most of my concerns, as they're just stored in my password manager and move devices with me.
Of course. Is the US to blame if Germans don't?
I live in a very affluent area and the local public library has a very large section dedicated to DVDs and Blu-ray (and video games and music CDs). And given that all the libraries in the area are linked up, I can request discs from an absolutely massive collection.
Researchers really need to get serious about separating smartphones from social media and drawing conclusions about one with the other one properly controlled.
Do you have to stop and set it up or can you use it from your backpack like the image shows?
What if my OTP base data is exported to a publically-readable datastore? I could be tricked into exporting the QR codes from Google Authenticator, for example. Though I see that there are significantly better 2FA methods, it does seem like the biggest flaws with SMS 2FA are in the insecure implementations, not the actual concept.
I wouldn't be so sure. E.g. EU mandated substantial compensations for delayed or cancelled flights. In practice the airlines typically just refuse to pay. You can contact an ombudsman that can sternly suggest that they pay, but not actually make them pay.

Of course you can take it to a court, wasting countless hours of time and risking tens of thousands in legal fees if you lose.
Agree. I mostly ignored the rest of the post because this threw red flags that the poster does not build real financial systems. Financial systems should be capturing everything, now on the reporting end there is a question on materiality but most definitely not on the system design.
They often want your phone number for anti-fraud or anti-sybil reasons. If they have free accounts, requiring a phone number helps prevent you from creating a new account to evade a ban and makes it easier to link bad behavior across accounts.
Why do you say it's the most secure browser?
"Talk to your kids about POSIX" reads my favorite t-shirt.
That’s not entirely surprising. Emacs’s UI is a character-cell matrix with some toolkit-provided fluff around it; VSCode’s is an arbitrary piece of graphics. One of these is harder than the other. (Not as harder as VSCode is slower, but still a hell of a lot.)
Not really. The more I age, the fewer concerns I have.
Just ordered the true Gang of Four:

* The C Programming Language

* The UNIX Programming Environment

* The Practice of Programming

* The Elements of Programming Style

I've read the C book before and also remember the writing to be excellent. I'm sure I'll pick up lots of programming wisdom but I'm also approaching this as a technical writer, figuring out what exactly makes Kernighan's books so good. I have a hunch that Kernighan has studied writing a lot, or has at least done a lot of "first principles thinking" about writing. The title "The Elements of Programming Style" for example is a reference to one of the most famous books about writing style, "The Elements of Style" by Strunk and White (which everyone should read once; it literally fits easily into your back pocket).
thanks. I add it into faq. There is actually free tier where you can get one free credit to generate 4 logos in the same time.
I don't quite understand that. It's not like sending an SMS to my phone is any more secure or harder to access than sending an email to my phone. Additionally, many seem to want a "real phone number", not a VoIP number like Google Voice.

Meanwhile treasurydirect.gov still just uses a verification code via email. If it's good enough for the Treasury, it's probably good enough for a bank.
Part of what was so good about Red Box was it's already at the places you go anyways. It felt logical to me that my supermarket had a small self contained but sizable-catalog of media.

I'm all in on this connected age, but it still seems not great that we centralized and consolidate this world ever upwards into massive virtual services. Having local options is something I want my world to have.

NIST has explicitly said you shouldn't use SMS 2FA for a while now:

Well, I think you are missing a subtle issue. They may not switch but they might pay more if it’s faster. They also might not switch to paint but if photoshop performed terribly they may switch to a dozen different tools for different purposes. This kind of thing already happens.
You know, then they automated the routing with a menu, what was worse. Then people discovered how to make those menus work, and they became nicer.

Then people discover how to use the menus to make the customers go away, and business segmented into the ones that were nice to use and the ones that would clearly tell you they just want to scam you out of your money.

I'm not sure the problem here is rooted at the LLMs customer service.
I'm begrudgingly stuck with VSCode because of language support in the smaller-community languages I work with, but any time it starts being a dog (and it doesn't take much, think a 20MiB test data file) I switch back for that purpose.

I'm also never letting it anywhere near a merge again, after the worst merge in my years of using git. Sublime Merge doesn't give me the same warm feelings as Sublime Text, but it works, and it won't choke on a big patch and apply a huge deletion without showing it to me first.

Would this be more than 100 seats? $2000 is still not a lot. Would you theoretically need a license for every employee involved in the movie or only those which would actually work with the font?
Hi @zeagle, sorry to hijack the thread (didn’t see a way to DM you)

I'm a PhD student working on a new lupus diagnostic blood test approach [1]. Hoping to steer the project towards true clinical needs.

I'd love to ask for your feedback as a technologist + rheumatologist on a few lupus + RA diagnostic directions we're considering. Would they actually be useful in your practice?

Would you be open to a quick chat? My email is maximz@stanford.edu.

Many thanks!

"THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED AS IS..." you can't say the same for an employee, and can haul them/the company to court for negligence.

Also who knows if they've trained the model on specific AWS architectures, so the App Studio may simply not create an app that crashes a datacenter (where a third-party dev could, somehow).
It must be a simplification, for example Pluto's orbit is so eccentric that it's sometimes closer than Neptune
There are references in her book. The effects of pH and so on have been well-studied, and antibacterial mouthwashes are well-known to kill bacteria. I don't think there's been an RCT or anything of her system specifically, so that is based on her experience, but the studies do demonstrate that brushing alone is not sufficient. I'm not saying she's the last word on the subject, but it's how evidence-based medicine works - if you don't have strong evidence, you look at weak evidence such as expert advice, and I haven't found any other advice that discusses going beyond brushing. That's sort of the issue, is that (similarly to this neurosurgeon's experience) the vast majority of dentistry is focused on filling cavities, rather than promoting oral health or health in general.

Ellie Phillips is a big fan of xylitol though. The science on that is a lot less clear, e.g. how much xylitol is necessary in gum (she of course advocates huge amounts), and then she also sells mints which have little effect on plaque. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8791908/) I sort of ignore that, just because she has to make money doesn't mean the rest of her advice is not evidence-based.
Rather than arguing with the support rep, show some humility and follow their instructions. Processes and protocols exist for a reason. People who think they deserve special treatment because they are technical are entitled, plain and simple. Follow the rules and the process and you'll eventually get your service fixed. Complain and argue and you're likely to have your modem accidentally deprovisioned.

For me, it was the opposite. Cutting out meat and eating a lot of organic greens helped calm my immune system and reduce inflammation. In my experience, meat increased my inflammation, while greens decreased it. I think everyone is different, and it's not hard to test on yourself if you have noticeable symptoms like joint pain, as I did.

If you're making that comparison then you need to count the frequency of Shenfield services separately from Abbey Wood services.
It really depends on the culture. Being French I do not see it as "duplicity" - it is rather a way to accommodate the reality of life (dumb ideas), their impact (make it the lowest for you and for the company) and your comfort.

Such white lies help everyone to be on top of their duties - your manager knows that they checked the mark called "evangelize the idea to your team" and you know that you checked the mark "I have provided useful feedback by nodding my head a few times". It stops there and life continues.

In an ideal world, we would not need to do any of these because all ideas would be fantastic and everyone would be enthusiastic about them. Unfortunately, I do not live in such a place.
It's to the point that even the US government (even with all its faults and lobbying) recommends using an ad blocker for this reason.
The only way GDPR is unambiguous is if you interpret it in the strictest sense. Which we actually did - you truly have to, in a business-hostile place like the EU.

For example, consider IP addresses as PII. (This is of course not clearly specified by the GDPR). Then analytics processing them needs consent. Thus cookie popup.

Anything else is interpretation unproven in court.
