I considered saying bearish. Maybe I could have been clearer.

I have a low opinion about the usefulness of cryptocurrencies because true security is so difficult. It's basically impossible, even if you don't make any mistakes.

I really enjoy this kind of stuff, and loved reading about the z-cash ceremony. I'm not going to those lengths to protect my secrets, so I feel it's better if I don't hold a lot of wealth in such a fragile way.

I used to like it, but now I don't. It's still neat, but it's too prone to costly mistakes.
No. Matt want 8% revenue directly straight into Automattic's account.
Those threads appear to be stoking the drama more than anything. HN's stated goal is to satisfy intellectual curiosity, and even if the post topic itself is of interest, if the discussion isn't substantive then the system is probably working as intended (regardless of whether it's the flamewar detector or a manual downweight).

It could also be moderator action.

My most viral submission suddenly dropped from the top story to page 8, despite having far more points than anything else on that page, and only being a few hours old. I suspect this happened because it was a negative post about Amazon. The comments were not overheated. Most posters agreed with my sentiment.

Distributed memory parallel computing library. Most common in supercomputers with a high performance interconnect where you want to run one program that coordinates separate instances of itself via message passing (“SPMD” - single program multiple data parallelism). Slightly different than distributed computing that generally doesn’t assume a tightly coupled system with a low latency, high bandwidth interconnect. Allows you to scale up beyond what you can do within shared memory spaces where you are limited to low core counts (hundreds) and low memory (<1TB) - MPI is what you use when you’re in the many thousands of cores, many TB of RAM regime. In practice, supercomputers require a mixture: shared memory for many core parallelism, some hybrid host programming model for bringing accelerators in, and then MPI to coordinate between these shared memory/accelerator enabled hosts.
The German translation I got automatically reads like a fever dream. Grammatically it often makes no sense and even worse, some things are translated literally. Doc is now "Dok", but no one would ever shorten it like that. The da Vinci quote is shortened to one sentence, and now makes no sense at all.

I know translating is hard, but it's kind of unsettling here.
As much as the community may want a fork, I suspect it's not going to pick up much momentum unless it's created by a larger company with skin in the game, i.e WPEngine.
It's still more punctual than going by car. I can't remember any long distance car trip where I wasn't stuck in traffic and my trip was much longer than predicted by the navigation system.

Please point to an example of someone pulling Harry Potter from a public or school library.

People deciding not to support an author is not censorship. Despite malicious right-wing claims trying to muddle it, being "cancelled" is just people exercising their right not to support you. No one's facing jail time for stocking Harry Potter in a library. You can't say that about right-wing crusading.
You have been and continue to trust Automattic for the core code.

If for example, Automattic instead had said they will bundle the plugin functionality with the core, there are many historical cases of that, unpleasant as it is for the third party usually... results are identical, right?
Perhaps he shorted the Automattic stock... no, wait, Automattic is privately held... make it make sense!

Gravity is the biggest factor. In order to carry an average size and weight package, requires a larger drone, with larger propellors, larger motors which requires ever bigger batteries. Same with increasing range, yet more battery capacity is required.

What is overlooked is that EVs weigh 50% more than the equivalent capability fossil fuel powered cars. High energy batteries are heavy. Our roads are subjected to increased wear and tear.

So far as I can tell, when Matt talks about "the WordPress Community", he means:

- Matt
- the people who didn't quit Automattic last week
- _maybe_ the WP core developers who don't work at Automattic, so long as they keep their criticisms to themselves

And the community of people who _use_ WordPress to run their websites, and the people who help them to do that, and the 3rd party plugin and theme developers who make WP work for so many different kinds of websites - can all go and get fucked.
500µg is an immense dose, unless you have tolerance. Tabs usually have much less than the claimed amount. What was the source and form that makes you think 500µg is accurate? When it's 250µg or more, it's so overwhelming that many people don't have recollections from the trip after some point.
ORMs and Ecto will do a lot of things for you but the biggest one is sanitization. If you default to "go to raw SQL" it's too easy to miss those things and cause a bobby tables incident. Better to default to the framework and opt in to raw SQL when the queries need fine tuning.

I think it can be both. We have quite a lot of books for our space (is that the right word for how much room you have in a house?), but we also curate our books. Once in a while we’ll donate books we don’t actually want to re-read or maybe don’t think are worth keeping anymore.

On the flip-side I do think physical books are good. I think they are decorative, and even though I basically only read audiobooks I buy a physical copy of the books I really like. The reason I read them as audiobooks has to do with my ADHD. I have a tough time reading a physical book because my attention goes away from it. Which has nothing to do with the modern age of distractions because it was also like this before the internet. Audiobooks on the other hand are relatively easy for me to follow. Part of it is because I can do “don’t require mental attention” tasks while I read them, which makes it easier for me to focus on the book.

I guess I didn’t have to buy them, but I think it’s important to have them.
The biggest problem with this "not the true text" issue is when coders encounter unicode.

A lot of coders, those who have worked in primarily english countries see ascii as utf-8 and the difference is invisible. They can go decades being oblivious to topics like encodings and mappings and display.

So it can be surprising to them when they start dealing with European characters for the first time. They view the text in one place (like an editor which treats the file as utf-8) and another (their program) which treats the text as ASCII.

It's hard to explain to them that "when I look at it" isn't a universal truth, it also matters how the "look at it program" chooses to interpret, and display, it.

They almost certainly did DPO it, so that would have an effect. It was also probably just trained more on professional photography than cell phone pics.

I’ve found it odd how there’s a segment of the population that hates a shallow depth of field now, as they’re so used to their phone pictures. I got in an argument on Reddit (sigh) with someone who insisted that the somewhat shallow depth of field that SDXL liked to do by default was “fake.”

As in, he was only ever exposed to it through portrait mode and the like on phones and didn’t comprehend that larger sensors simply looked like that. The images he was posting that looked “fake” to him looked to be about a 50mm lens at f/4 on a full frame camera at a normal portrait distance, so nothing super shallow either.

WPEngine starting a foundation and successfully forking Wordpress would have been an appropriate plot twist.
I feel like the dodgy part isn’t the forking. Any open source project can be forked at any time by anyone. The dodgy part is them automatically switching existing users to their fork.

To use your McDonald’s analogy, it’s like specifically ordering a Coke and McD’s secretly switching it to a McCoke without you noticing.
I read the GP's question as "why" would Google allow that in the first place?

The reason is obvious: because a Google account gets you access to many a Google service without requiring you to open a Gmail account.

However, the question still stands: why does Google allow authentication with a non-Gmail/Workspace account? Yes, it would be confusing since not all Google Accounts would be made the same, but this entire class of security issues would disappear.

So it's the usual UX convenience vs security.

Alternative "fix" that's both convenient and secure is to have every company use Google Apps on their domain ;-)
As the saying goes, half the internet runs on Wordpress. Aside from a nuclear incident like an auto upgrade that permanently breaks all of the sites, it'll continue to be used.

> - Implement better sandboxing and security measures for extensions.

Why, pray tell, should this be of any concern at all?
Sandboxing is used when the host is concerned about running programs that he doesn't trust. There is no reason that an Emacs package would require security measures around it, unless it were knowingly potentially malware. The only reality in which I could see this is if people were using proprietary Emacs extensions, in which case I would entirely understand it, because then people would be willingly running malware inside their editor. Perhaps this the stance VS Code users like to take towards extensions?
They also seem to have DKIM. To find out, first we need an authoritative name server for id.apple.com:

$ dig +short id.apple.com NS
ns1-235.akam.net.
ns1-45.akam.net.
asia3.akam.net.
asia2.akam.net.
eur5.akam.net.
usw2.akam.net.
usw6.akam.net.
use1.akam.net.

We pick an arbitrary nameserver and see if the _domainkey subdomain gives NXDOMAIN or NORERROR:

$ dig +noall +comments +norecurse @ns1-235.akam.net _domainkey.id.apple.com TXT | grep HEADER
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 12521

Good, it gives NOERROR, which indicates the existence of subdomains. Just to be sure, we check some other arbitrary non-existing subdomain, to see if it gives NXDOMAIN as it should:

$ dig +noall +comments +norecurse @ns1-235.akam.net zojglgrcqk.id.apple.com TXT | grep HEADER
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 5653

Since it gives the expected NXDOMAIN, this strongly indicates that there are DNS records present on subdomains of “_domainkey.id.apple.com”; i.e. DKIM keys.

(Of course, if you have ever recieved e-mail from an address @id.apple.com, you would see the selector name in the DKIM signature header, and could look up the corresponding DKIM record directly. The above method is for when you don’t have access to that.)
Agree. I hate Wordpress, but I still recommend it and run a bunch of sites on it. It's very easy to get up and running. It's has two decades of support. A ton of plugins, and people will moan about Gutenberg, but it's actually a good thing, IMO.

I'm running dozens of WP sites on a single $3/mo Hetzner box without trouble.
Isn't this essemtially the approach to image recognition etc. that failed for ages until we brute forced it with bigger and deeper matrices?

It seems sensible to extract features and reason about things the way a human would, but it turns out its easier to scale pattern matching purely done by computer.
It's head and shoulders above all the subsidies to the car industry that just increase emissions. In terms of value it can't even be compared, one is positive and the other negative.

E.g. during the original 9 Euro Ticket, the government also reduced taxes on gas to fight inflation, and this cost as much as the subsidies for the 9 Euro Ticket. The gas tax reduction's costs were 3 billion, and the 9 Euro Ticket costs were 2.5 billion.

So I would call it exceptional value when compared to other things.

I am a CS Master's student (with a concentration in ML) at GMU set to graduate in May 2025. I have a dual-degree Bachelors degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering (Columbia U) and Physics (Gettysburg College), with solid background in mathematics and statistics. Prior to attending grad school, I have worked 3 years in the US tech industry, working on various software development and testing roles. My expertise lies in backend engineering, embedded code development, software testing, and AI/ML development. I am currently looking for full-time new grad opportunities starting June 2025 in Software/Firmware development, AI/ML Engineering and Data Science/Analytics.
In the above example, the normal flow to get a Google address user@company.com relies on setting DNS records for company.com, both to prove control of the domain as well as to route email to that domain. There may be an exploit/bypass I'm not seeing, but I legitimately don't see any way a user who has a legitimate user@company.com email address hosted somewhere besides Google workspace could then setup a user@company.com email address with Google.

If there's a way to do this, I would greatly appreciate a link or brief explanation, as our process for employee termination/resignation does involve disabling in the Google admin portal and if we need to be more proactive I definitely want to know.
Ask HN: Where to find people with (small) project ideas?

> Constitution gives you the rights for these speech. Doesn’t make you immune to the consequences of these speech.

That’s literally what it does. It makes you immune to the consequences of speech from the state. If government can punish you for speech then you don’t really have that right, do you? This goes really for all free speech arguments - saying free speech doesn’t mean no consequences is nonsensical, since that’s what is necessary for someone to have the freedom to speak. In the case of governmental bureaucrats, it is definitely unconstitutional. Not that this would stop California, as we’ve seen in repeated violations of the second amendment.
Haha, that makes sense. I was looking at secureblue (a hardended fedora image, looks quite promising) github repository. After spotting the author, I looked at his profile and saw the hardened chromium repo
WordPress is pretty terrible. Perhaps the community can start using something better? Drupal or something. Something slightly less spaghetti...

Locking people indoors with limited ventilation and no UV radiation is never going to be a reasonable approach. Why? Because UV radiation kills viruses very fast and thus drastically reduces their capacity to spread between hosts. Not to mention the obvious factor of air circulation in a near-infinite dimension thinning out particles per cubic meter within seconds. Also turns out fresh air is generally good for sick people too. So is sunlight.

Studies on the coronavirus circulating showed this at the very beginning of 2020. And that’s just one of the anti scientific measures that were taken.
From the study linked [https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40279-024-02066-5] (with acronym meanings added inline for readability):
"The lowest pulse arrival time standard deviation (PAT σ) at 2.0 times the standard deviation corresponded to 88.4% of the Region of Practical Equivalence (ROPE) for SDNN (Standard Deviation of Normal-to-Normal intervals), and 21.4% for RMSSD (Root Mean Square of Successive Differences). As the standard deviation of PAT increases, the equivalence between photoplethysmography-derived "heart rate variability" (PRV) and electrocardiography-derived heart rate variability (HRV) decreases for both SDNN and RMSSD. The width of the highest density interval (HDI), which encompasses 95% of the posterior distribution, increases with increasing PAT σ. This increase occurs at a higher rate for RMSSD than for SDNN."

So for "how accurate?", grossly and irresponsibly oversimplifying, the Apple method is roughly 90% accurate, and devices using the inferior method are roughly 20% accurate.

I would be really interested to know of any devices not locked down to Apple ecosystem that also use this approach, if anyone has any insight.
