I think a difference between an application and a library (or module, etc) is that it is ok for the latter to expect sanitized input and be wrapped in try/catch blocks. The world is less finite than code and a module might be deployed in a variety of contexts which might make some checks undesirable.

In computing, the robustness principle is a design guideline for software that states: "be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others". It is often reworded as: "be conservative in what you send, be liberal in what you accept". The principle is also known as Postel's law, after Jon Postel, who used the wording in an early specification of TCP.

So what?
The original A Modest Proposal[1] also didn't include any admission it was parody/satire, and held very true to the joke to the point that it seemed worrying. The more uncomfortable it makes you, the more it sticks.

Also, the DMCA was not involved (though it's not clear that Netlify was aware of that).

You’re assuming that everything can be easily known from documentation. That’s far from the truth. A lot of what LLMs produce is informed by having been trained on large amounts of source code and large amounts of discussions where people have shared their knowledge from experience, which you can’t get from the documentation.
As an alternative, ublacklist is free and open-source.
That’s about as smart as releasing an AAA title as a console exclusive.

To clarify on other peoples' comments, the cheapest form of the F-150, which is particularly affordable for an electric truck, was very difficult to get ahold of. Additionally, demand for electric vehicles in the US is significantly weaker than manufacturers had hoped.

As someone living in a condo, I am 0% surprised. If you don't have a fully-enclosed garage, I'd be surprised if there was a simple solution for charging, and the idea of sitting at a station for 45 minutes twice a week sounds... miserable at best. Even if you disagree with me on these points, I doubt my point of view is particularly rare.
You are just old. Hacks absolutely ruin the game even for casual players, especially in the newly popular Battle Royale games where you might not run into the hacker until the very last part of the match. It feels bad to invest 20 minutes into a match, be feeling good about the finale showdown, only for them to aimbot you from nowhere - you never stood a chance.

I think it is healthy. There is basically nothing to be worried about that dealt killed by water or heat. A hot pan is twice the temperature of a medical autoclave.

Soap is more of a cleaning aid for removing flavor than a safety control.
I think it depends on the kind of game. I played Team Fortress Classic back in the day and if someone was cheating it didn’t have a big impact. During the pandemic I got into FPSes again and played COD Warzone. In a game like that you have a multi minute build up to actually engaging another player, to go through all that then get beamed by someone with an aimbot is very frustrating.
Is the SSD still soldered, so if your macbook dies so does your data?
I haven't touched TF2 in almost a year. The joy I felt playing that game has left since the cheating epidemic and I don't think it's ever coming back.

the FAANG giants have been government assets for ~15+ years [0]. they don't have to turn a profit every quarter, innovate, or make their search any better because they no longer play by the rules a normal business does. they are a critical "too big to fail" component of the state's global surveillance system.

Hi. I'm George Oates, exec director and co-founder of the Flickr Foundation, Flickr.org. I was glad to see that Hacker News has picked up on Data Lifeboat! That was a big spike for our quiet blog.

I am popping in to clarify the relationship between Flickr.com and Flickr.org (and I get asked this a lot, so we will write it up on Flickr.org in more detail). The Flickr Foundation is a separate entity, a US 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. It enjoys the permission of Flickr to use the Flickr trademarks, and runs its own finances. We have been awarded grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Mellon Foundation to think about what it takes to meaningfully preserve a social media system of this scale, and look forward to working with more funders in the USA and elsewhere. We are happy to have minority representation from the company on our board - that's Stephanie, company CFO, and Ben MacAskill also sits in to stay in touch. This is good, and the company isn't funding us directly, which is something we actually want.

You can read Ben's "Why we're doing this" blog post, from 2022:

* https://www.flickr.org/why-were-doing-this/

We chat regularly with various groups at the company, like engineering, marketing, and community. The team there have helped us get established, no doubt about that. And, rather than any litigation flying around, I genuinely think it is an act of responsibility for a company to support the creation of a 'sister nonprofit' which is able to think on a different time scale that a corporation normally does, also recognising the unique collection Flickr has become.

I am really happy to meet with anyone who is interested to talk more about what we're doing, and offer this in the form of "Unoffice Hours" which you can book via our Contact Us page:

Cheers.
That's my current theory as well. IMHO that's the reason why an upgrade from 98 to XP failed while it ran successfully by using Windows 2000 as the base installation.

Note that I was totally skipping the text-based installation stage when upgrading from Windows 2000 while I got it when starting the installation from Windows 98 - that's where the "NT conversion, stupid!"-theory came from.
How do cheaters circumvent bans? I would presume you have some unique copy key which is activated, and once it gets revoked should never ever allow you to connect to their game servers.

Company runs entire ecosystem, how apart from hacking their DBs you can ever get back?
Recent reports have shown that the EV sector, as a whole, would be growing if you took Tesla out of it.

People are abandoning Tesla in droves, presumably due to the spectacle its owner is making of himself publicly.

There are plenty of games you can play where cheating is allowed.

I think a majority of people who play competitive online games enjoy fair competition, and it really isn’t fun to play against cheaters.

I played NBA2k on PC for a few years, and unlike on consoles, cheaters were rampant. Half the games would be against players who were like 12 feet tall and could make every shot from anywhere on the court. It was zero fun, and I stopped playing.

I think “just let people cheat” is not a viable option.
A brief perusing of the Ford website, the non-electric F-150 starts at $38,710, whereas the electric version starts at $62,995. I suspect most people can't afford the 50% premium. The price for the non-electric version is already eye-wateringly expensive for my personal income.
Why make $1 when you can make $100?
Sort of, but the popularity of the F-150 and Mustang could prop up quite a large company. There's a reason they stopped selling sedans even in the US, though.
How many can you block and filter manually ? 10 ? 100 ? 10k ? Who will test sites for the blocklist ? The domain block feature is great but unless it's collaborative listing it's not gonna be super effective.
The American model prefers "sponsored material should be identified as such" though that's only active for broadcasting currently

Me too! I've really started to dislike Google search recently and am super excited we now have more viable options!
Cost by the time it came out for actual purchase was the first one. When it was announced the cost (as I recall it) seemed quite reasonable for the capabilities.

Then the inverter size was severely undersized with no real ability to power a full sized home without making large sacrifices. Around 9kw if I recall correctly, which means (for me at least) no running A/C and a large electric appliance at the same time like a dryer.

Then it required using Sunrun as the only system integrator - plus all their equipment. I guess this is to be expected, but I'd like to design my own system.

I'm in the same boat as you though - I never looked into beyond surface level since I have enough random projects to think about as it is, and no property yet to turn any research into a practical system.
Far from it - the F150 has been the best selling vehicle for over 40 years, and they do nearly 200b in revenue.

I think they just quit competing on price and volume - they've gutted their entire car lineup except for the Mustang, for example. In my own shopping, I found that Ford was considerably more expensive than the alternatives. Even the much advertised Maverick is creeping into the 30ks. Maybe it's worth it, I sure wasn't going to find out...but they do sell a -lot- of trucks.
I don't actually care about battery backup for my house. I have an $800 generator for that which is not tied to my truck being parked in front of the house.

I do want my pickup truck to be a good pickup truck, and the impression I get is that the Lightning is really an F150 and does a good job at that.

I ordered my ICE F150 in late 2022 (delivered in 2023), so don't plan to buy a new truck for another 7-9 years.

When I was ordering, the Lightnings were just not available. Even if they were, however, you can only get the Lightning in the crew cab short bed configuration with a 145" wheel base.

I wanted a 6.5' bed, so the Lightning doesn't offer that. For a classic F150, you can get 2 wheel base options with 3 different cab/bed combinations.

The frunk with lockable storage is actually a really attractive feature though in terms of carrying tools or other things you want secure and out of the weather.

Thank the "web-devs"... instead of having native looking apps that use OS controls/widgets they want to push dumb html/css/js to "unlease their creativity"... I'm sorry but huge middle finger to you.

I want all my apps to use the same widgets and paradigme and look the same...
People in Google salary brackets get jobs at Google-1 salary brackets, pushing junior people at Google-1 to Google-2, all the way down to IT departments at non-tech firms. This impacts everybody who's in the industry or capable of switching.
Yeah, it seems like those bullet point have the problem that they don't really contain actionable information.

Here's the way I'd put things - correlation by itself does causation at all. You need correlation plus a plausible model of the world to have a chance.

Now science, at its best, involves building up these plausible models, so a scientist creates an extra little piece of the puzzle and has to be careful also the piece is a plausible fit.

The problem you hit is that the ruthless sink-or-swim atmosphere, previous bad science and fields that have little merit make it easy to be in the "just correlation" category. And whether you're doing a p test or something else doesn't matter.

A way to put is that a scientist has to care about the truth in order to put together all the pieces of models and data in their field.

So the problem is ultimately institutional.
You don't think SEO-LLMs will evolve to redirect search-LLMs to 'see the world' the way the SEO-LLMs want it to? I foresee SEO-LLM-brinkmanship as the inevitable outcome. Soon THIS will be the catalyst for the real Skynet -- battling smart ad engines.
From today's ChatGPT search announcement:

I’m sure they will be more subtle than that otherwise it will get circumvented.

I’m sure they will/are tackling this at the model level. Train them to both generate good completions while also embedding text with good performance at separating generated and human text.
Why is it so expensive?

Is it cost of production being passed on or did the marketing department decide to do some "prestige" pricing?
Naw this is all bullshit.

If apex legends released a real dedicated server tomorrow, within a month there would be a large selection of well moderated community servers and cheaters would be mostly a non-issue.

EA doesn't care to actually moderate cheating, because that either takes ongoing money to pay people or a loss of control by releasing dedicated servers. They instead just want to pay 1 time to "automate" their "solution" to cheating... even though that pretty much never works long term.
Price and range. IMO EV trucks need at least a 500 mile range unloaded and no less than 250 mile range when towing at max capacity at highway speeds. Yes, ridiculously high requirements but they won’t compete with a gas engine version (much less a diesel one) otherwise.
Yes. And there was much more variation in the types of housing. Employer provided forms/bunk houses, flop houses, tenements, boarding houses, etc.

Importantly the quality of the housing was in many cases horrendous.
60% of US households have more than one car, compared to only 30% in France. I'd expect that to help with EV adoption in the US. Get one car with long range and good cargo and/or towing capacity for roadtrips and for when you have a lot to move locally and get an EV for most of your daily driving.
Kagi is admittedly pretty great for this.
The only way to salvage it is to stop all feature development and focus only on bug fixing. However Chris is incapable of doing that, the game is perpetual scope creep and it's pretty clear it comes from the top.
Another commentator mentioned gigabyte, there's also asrocks asrack line.
I do fried and over-easy in my stainless all the time. My procedure:

1. heat empty stainless over med-high flame until a drop of water scatters and glides over the whole surface (leidenfrost). It should look like beads of mercury.

2. drop to a med flame, add a bit of oil (avacodo, ghee, ....). If you're going to a lower temp oil (butter, olive, ...) drop the flame even lower and let the pan cool for a minute before adding.

3. crack eggs into the pan, and don't touch them until there's a bit of fried edge

4a. if you want over-easy, turn the flame off well before you flip, and let the residual heat cook the top.

4b. alternatively, cover the pan with a pot lid to steam the tops.

If they stick, a little bit of extra oil, or a few drops of water on the edge can help release.
What I learned in ECON 101 is that in a competitive market, price decrease to the level the market will bear. Isn't this the "cheaper" alternative to the Cyber-truck?

A quick search said a new one would cost $80k delivered, how much can the price decrease before Ford is losing money?
I wonder if this is their own web scraper, or if they're using Bing API?

As a very experienced SEO, this is pretty exciting nonetheless, a new front in the online war opening up.

If they're using their own scraper/search algorithms, it'll be interesting to see how they weigh the winners and losers compared to how Google does it.
people generally don't look at quarter-to-quarter growth because there can be wild swings explained by seasonality (e.g. the major holiday shopping season in Q4)
The model is this:

Let players run their own servers and host their own playgroups as they did before game servers were monetized.

Then when someone cheats you ban them until they apologize in person and sing the Very Sorry Song.

This has been proven to work time and again. The only reason it is not the default is that some value extractor just has to feed their kids.
And I was thinking that they would stop making this monstrosity altogether... could they at the very least limit the sales to the USA?

I said this in the other thread, but KLA isn't about preventing cheaters. It's about protecting the artificial scarcity of products for sale via microtransaction.
By the time multi-player FPS's came out, cheaters were definitely annoying enough that cheat detection / banning became a thing.
Well yes water does evaporate at lower temperatures, it just takes a lot longer. But you’re right we don’t call that boiling.

There are several classes of restrictions on free speech in the US. These include: obscenity, fraud, speech integral to illegal conduct, speech that incites imminent lawless action, speech that violates intellectual property law, true threats, false statements of fact, and —- most relevant here -— commercial speech such as advertising.

Advertising has far less protection than is ordinarily afforded to the kind of speech you might do as a person.

Genuine question: is there a present or planned value proposition for people like me who already have decent search skills? Or are these really for children/elders who (without making any normative claim about whether this is a good thing or not) can't be arsed to perform searches themselves?

Does someone else have good search skills but mingle traditional search engines with LLMs anyways? Why?

I use LLMs every day but wouldn't trust one to perform searches for me yet. I feel like you have to type more for a result that's slower and wordier, and that might stop early when it amasses what it thinks are answers from low effort SEO farms.
Wall hacks might be funny, but when you get killed on sight in .25 sec it’s not so fun anymore…

From the pragmatic perspective, either fuel has to be a lot more expensive, or the truck should be like 50% cheaper. Intuitively, the proposition is "it's just batteries and a motor, no complicated pistons, injectors etc...". Yet it's super-expensive.

Then maybe marketing? At least from my limited perspective, the people who would buy F-150 are not exactly the ones to want to sit and wait next to small electric cars to charge for half an hour at charging station. That's why perhaps a cybertruck works, it doesn't look like a "truck" and doesn't appeal to the same crowd. It's a whole new thing. It seems "cool" while this one seems "lame". The Ford marketing department should have sniffed that out better than a rando HN poster at least.
> “You can freely manipulate the kernel, and there’s no user mode calls to attest that it’s even genuine,” says Koskinas. “You could make a Linux distribution that’s purpose-built for cheating and we’d be smoked.”

These are features, not bugs. Cheating must be detected serverside. Never trust the client, this is basic security. Breaking the user's client security is not a valid solution, and I get increasingly frustrated with these gaming companies that insist that a rootkit is "fine" and "normal" and "something a regular user should install without question"
Cursor and v0.dev write 95% of the code for myself and the two other devs on my team.
For the first example, for C or C++ code gcc will catch the dangling reference/pointer and warn about it, and since my group normally turns on -Wall -Werror, it's an error. However, the analysis is local and not as powerful as Rust's borrow checker.

Try
int* bug() {
int longlived = 12;
int* plonglived = &longlived;
{
int shortlived = 13;
plonglived = &shortlived;
}
return plonglived;
}

With gcc -Wall -Werror

How do you think people will try to game AI-based search?
not only that.. we're not far from the point where it becomes undetectable because a camera fed AI instance on one computer is manipulating the inputs on gaming machine
I really don’t understand all the people on this thread acting like gamers should just deal with cheaters. Anyone who plays online games knows how quickly it becomes not fun when there are obvious cheaters. It isn’t like 10% less fun, it is 100% less fun. Online games where you play against other people are fun because of competition, and cheating makes it so there is no competition.

There are a lot of games where cheating wouldn’t be an issue, but games like Apex legends aren’t those.

80k delivered is the theoretical base model. To actually buy one, you're well over 100k.

I can buy a new gasoline f150 for 40k at most with many bells and whistles. Not the top of the line by any means, but a really well equipped truck.

They're competing with themselves, in a way.

The people who would buy a Tesla are not the people who would buy a Ford.
NRT wasn't really breaking as it's a warning which you control top level. But there have been some real breaking changes in edge cases but they are pretty far between.
I think the language could be better if it was always structured in the best way possible, rather than in the best compatible way.

As a class library example (which is contrary to what I said earlier about .NET compatibility vs C# compatibility) is that it was a massive mistake to let double.ToString() use the current culture rather than the invariant culture.
It should change to either required passing a culture always (breaking API change) or change to use invariantculture (behaviour change requiring code changes to keep old behavior)
Also, how about make smaller cheaper pickups. These giant pickups cost a small fortune. A small affordable pickup would do well on the market, including an electric one.
