I think you're importing heavy bias into your interpretation. 2A types are interested in deposing tyranny when its directed against them by their own government. Not tyranny anywhere on the face of the Earth. If that's true, and I do believe it is, it is not at all incompatible with foreign wars, whether one believes they're tyrannical or not.
What Are Demand Shifting and Shaping in Green Software?
One time I happened across a suspiciously roadkilled moose. I was there before the flies were. I would have had no qualms about eating it but alas I was driving a rental and while I could have butchered it with a box cutter I would have had nothing to do with the meat.

FYI the reason you don't generally want to eat roadkill is that the trauma and blood clotting does something bad to the meat quality. I don't know the exact details but that's what I've been told.
Could it be that since the question became a big benchmark, it (along with the correct answer) slipped into the training data?
Show HN: HippoMod – AI-powered social media comment moderation/engagement
Hello HN! I'm Casey, and I built HippoMod, an AI-powered comment moderation tool for Facebook and Instagram Ads, after struggling to keep up with ad comments at another startup. It learns your brand voice for auto-reply suggestions and filters out irrelevant or misleading comments (you choose how aggressive this is). I kept the UI simple hoping it would cater to less technical users.

If you've used similar tools or deal with a lot of comments, I could use your feedback. Reach out to me directly on LinkedIn, through our contact page, etc., I appreciate hearing from you.

A few learnings so far:

- Dogfooding: I built a prototype that my co-founder and I used for a few months. No surprises, forcing familiarity with the basic reqs and the pitfalls of the polling approach we started with was a huge help.

- Meta app review: it's a mess. The test user feature has been disabled "temporarily" for at least a couple of years, but Meta disables fake accounts. You'll get guidance from the review team to create a user; then that user will be immediately banned. Tip: spend $20 for a sim card and a month of cheap service and dig an old phone out of the junk drawer. I wasted several days trying email accounts, digital phone numbers, etc. that were later deleted.

- Product hunt: Start your launch page and marketing (whatever that means for you) early. Like a month early, not a few days in advance. We just launched on Product Hunt, and I didn't realize how much it works like a mini Kickstarter.

- Marketing is hard: my engineer brain sees all the features that could be added or improved. It's so much more comfortable to nvim the day away. I'm resisting, sure you all understand the allure haha

Thanks again, HN!

Might not be, law tracks behavior usually so takes a while to even know what the position of the state on something is. Like legal vacuum.
> I _think_ Rust is unnecessarily recompiling dependencies on incremental builds? (I don't understand how incremental compilation times can be so bad otherwise). But I'm clueless about how to go about debugging that.

Make sure that your ide/vscode is using the exact same rust toolchain as you to build/check/run. Otherwise you don't get incremental compiling but recompilation a lot. I think there's an environment variable to force it.
The pentagon also didn't tell anyone in the 80s that all the "UFO sightings" in Nevada were test flights of the F-117.

You know the pentagon doesn't have to tell you (or even the feds!) the truth, right? You know that when they say "We can't track 1 trillion dollars of our budget!" they aren't being fully honest, right?

From the article you just linked

‘Pentagon spokesperson Brigadier General Pat Ryder said on Thursday that the US was "aware that [the balloon] had intelligence collection capabilities".
But "it has been our assessment now that it did not collect while it was transiting the United States or over flying the United States".’

When did the pentagon confirm it was not a spy balloon? The article is very short and the meaning is clear, it doesn’t say anything about whether the pentagon thinks it’s a spy balloon.
Exactly correct. It just can't scale to the level need without just being literal deer farms. A poor family with access to hunting may be able to feed themselves here and there but not systemically. Even hunters forget that when you kill a doe, you are killing 4-8 future deer, not just the one today.

Not much to say about this article except that it's one more in a long trend of security startups hyping bugs to attract business.

I'm not loving how they claim it's MFA bypass when it's really brute force, though I wouldn't necessarily minimize the attack overall either, I'm more curious how widespread these kinds of timeout bugs might be in other places.

Show HN: Kubernetes Spec Explorer
I built an interactive explorer for Kubernetes resources spec

A few things included:

- Tree view with schema, type and description of all native resources
- History changes since version X (properties added/removed/modified)
- Examples of some resources that you can easily copy as a starting point
- Supports all versions since X, including the newly released 1.32
- I also want to add support for popular CRD, but I’m not sure how I’ll do that yet, I’m open to suggestions!

Everything is auto generated based on the OpenAPI spec, with some manual inputs for examples and external links.

Hope you like it and if there’s anything else you think it could be useful just let me know.

Big difference is the video game industry had studies to back them up. Where are the data for chatbots? On the benefits? Lack of risk? Is there a single child psychologist in the ranks of these companies?

Video games are also rated, to help parents make age-appropriate decisions. Is Character.ai age gated to any degree?

I think this is probably accurate. I think the board is struggling with the amount of financial outlay and the weaker than expected returns. I don’t think Pat or the board thought things would get this bad before they got better. I do think they could have managed public sentiment a bit better. While they have been struggling it would have been smart to have an enthusiast gaming cpu that outclassed AMD even if it they lost money on it. Most of the tech sites that review cpus are enthusiast oriented. I don’t believe things are as dire as they look for Intel.
The other lasting problem is that he completely destroyed the foundation’s credibility as an independent organization. I don’t see it retaining non-profit status unless he and his cronies are completely removed.

It’d make sense for a true non-profit to ask all hosting companies and other high volume users to help fund it, but if it’s not a fully-owned subsidiary of Automattic that’d be everyone, not just when he needs leverage against one company.
I would have thought the advice here would be use passkeys everywhere you can and avoid Totp altogether (particularly the sms variant which has real risks today). When I think big picture mfa exists because passwords are often assumed lost to infostealers, so changing your password seems moot for an adversary who is ready to brute force your mfa.
What are you talking about? Timestamp with local time zone is exactly the semantics that is broken and can corrupt your data by just having a server set-up wrong.

Postgres has had that exact semantics for ages, and the documentation explicitly tells you in very large text that it only exists for compatibility reasons and that you shouldn't use it.

The correct semantics for "timestamp with local time zone" is the naive one, that you can only recover using strings nowadays, thanks to the SQL standard braindead decision. But the good (?) news is that if you have a problem that requires a database, it's very likely that you will need to handle time zones anyway, so it's not a big issue.

Aside from the fact this is for obvious reasons not happening, why would anyone want to replace something that's standardized, mature and effective with a VC-backed UI library with basic features? Because Rust? Sure, if you really, really like Rust for some reason, I can see the hypothetical appeal, but what I can't understand is the desire to throw away the web, which imo is like the 8th wonder of the world. But the DOM, accessibility, rendering, JIT and sandboxing? Starting from scratch on that is akin to building a new OS. And for what? Dislike for JS? Then WASM is the right solution.
Personally, given that everybody and their dog is using "AI" as a marketing point, I've come to view such language in product descriptions as being mostly marketing BS. I think less of such products/services in the same way that I think less of any product or service that involves marketing BS.
The problem is there are piecemeal solutions to the several of the parts of this problem, but not all, and some of them are really hard to meaningfully self-host without significant risk or complexity (ie. full text search engine). I'd personally love to build something like this, but I absolutely would sell yearly licenses and not have it be fully open source.
Cool! Can you elaborate a bit on the technology? Are you using off the shelf models or did you train your own for the purpose?

And yet it is still the recommended practice for every IT department for pretty much all corps. Even AWS has their forced 90 password reset policy where you start to get reminders 15 days early so it's actually 75 days. Only at AWS, they don't force you into the password rotation flow at the end of the 90, they automatically lock the account. While that might make sense for inactive accounts, for accounts that have clicked the Not Now for 14 days should be taken to a change password screen instead. /rant

I don't remember exactly what happened but I initially created my Spotify account with an email, but then I became linked to my Facebook account, so my Spotify data (profile pic, name...) were pulled from my Facebook account.
And for a few years I wasn't able to break this link, so I was stuck with my Facebook account, even though I wanted to get rid of it.
Then one day, I was able to transform back my Spotify account to an email one, and I deleted my Facebook account.

I had several exchanges with Spotify support which where basically useless.
Basically it was something like, because I used the same email address for both accounts, they automatically made the link.

Now I always use email login and I used + aliases, not only to avoid that mess but obviously better track data leak/sellers.

Thanks for testing. I'm guessing you trimmed the output a bit there, it would normally say you can override using --no-score-check.

Thanks for the interest! CybertraceAI is built to simplify network management and is completely open-source. We're excited to bring natural language interfaces to network operations while ensuring privacy with local processing. Community contributions are absolutely welcome. Support for additional vendors and advanced features is a big part of the roadmap!
If you use a password manager (and my condolences to those who don't), there's really no benefit to using OAuth over an email sign up. It can prepopulate your personal information, but I usually don't want that for the services I sign up for.
Imagine this program.

int foo() {
int x = 1;
havoc();
return x;
}

Can this function be compiled to store x in a register? Can it be compiled to remove x entirely and return the constant 1? That relies on "knowing that undefined behavior cannot happen." This program will behave differently if we store x on the stack and then return it after we call havoc() than if we call havoc() and then return the constant 1, if havoc() just writes to out of bounds memory addresses or whatever.

In this case the undefined behavior just feels "more extreme" to most people, but it is remarkably hard for people to rigorously define the undefined behavior that should and should not be considered when making optimizations.

Question: where does Qt stands these days, and how does this toolkit compare to it regarding accessibility and handling HiDPI screens? Are there any quality bindings for languages that aren't C++ and Python? It feels like they solved a lot of problems long ago, and the toolkit could be way more popular with better bindings and tooling.
Funnily I had the opposite issue. I quit Nord and somehow I was still connected to the VPN. Luckily I caught it before I opened up anything personal.

I occasionally run this just to make sure, especially when using an unfamiliar service:

curl ipinfo.io
And that is the big IF. Depending on who you believe 18a is either doomed or right on track. I think if they can launch shipping products that consumers can actually buy on 18a in 2025 it is a huge win. If not, well, Intel is for a lot more pain.

lol a study on rats? for someone who sees themselves as doing a "public service" and telling everyone to "do their own research", you sure don't add much to the conversation. It's ok, I knew that to be the case from the get go. Good luck on your crusade.
Yeah it’s super cheap if you use the pooled service. Back in the 90s it was $1000 for 3 eurocard sized boards if you wanted them in under 2 weeks. This was a big problem for us so they built a PCB lab in house and it’d still take 3 days.

Now I can get the same to my door in under 2 weeks for $60. And they actually test the boards!

A feature request: in addition to dragging the timeline smoothly across years, could there also be a step button that jumps to the next (or previous) change in the visible area?

Because if I'm looking at the US in 1623, my main question is, OK, so what happened next? I want to click a button and find out. And maybe even put a bold outline or something around the new border(s).

Having to scrub the timeline, overshoot, go back, now I can't remember what it looked like before, did I go too far? Is not the optimal UX for education. Like it's really cool to get the grand sweep of centuries, but not if I want to read the map over time like a story.

That was my point: even if there is some hypothetical property of size where a national healthcare system would fall apart, which we have no reason to believe exists, letting each of the 50 states run their own should be similar to the European model where a larger population is covered by a variety of programs and that provides natural experiments for the efficacy of different approaches.
