When I started out, I did read code top-to-bottom. I was mostly self-taught and didn't have a mental model yet of how code was structured, so I relied on this "brute force" method to familiarize myself.

I suppose it's not safe to assume that everyone started out like this. But advael is guilty of assuming that nobody started out like this. And on top of that, conveying it in a very negative and critical way. Don't get discouraged.

While we're talking about cool boring technologies... I once heard that Seoul's Bus Terminal Station, line 9, was a particularly difficult case. Line 9 had to go beneath existing line 3, but it couldn't go too deep because it (obviously) needed to connect to the rest of the line.

In the end they thrust a group of horizontal steel pipes to stabilize the soil and dug beneath it - and those pipes were 15 cm(!) below existing line 3.

I have that Sally Ride mission patch, signed by Sally. It is one of my prized possessions. I'd post a picture but it is in storage right now. It's stuck on a poster of a Space Shuttle.

I was lucky enough to get a lot of access to shuttle crews and missions because my dad worked on the Shuttle program, so I have a lot of Shuttle things in storage. Including my t-shirt from the Endeavor rollout!
Ask HN: My 12 year-old nephew just got diagnosed with ADHD, any advice?
The diagnosis is not a complete surprise but it is hard on him. He has always had problems concentrating at school, for instance he is good at math but would often misread the problems and answer the wrong question.

Do you have advice for him to be able to go through his teenage years?

Healthcare turns to AI for medical note-taking 'scribes'

10 thousand-ish words make sense when one considers multiple languages.
On Linux, the application currently uses the command:
```bash
google-chrome --proxy-server=<proxy URL> --ignore-certificate-errors-spki-list=<CA fingerprint>
```
to launch Chrome.

For some users, this command doesn't seem to work properly. I'm working on adding a feature that will allow you to manually set the command used to launch Chrome if the default one isn't working on your system.

In the meantime, you can manually launch Chrome with the arguments shown above. Just replace `<proxy URL>` and `<CA fingerprint>` with the appropriate values for your setup.
I looked at monetising. It wasn't what I wanted to do. The cause was more important to me. It entered a phase where as someone below said, it became a 'gossip rag'.

Not trying to nitpick, but the phrase "AI is just like another function" is too charitable in my opinion. A function, in mathematics as well as programming, transforms a given input into a specific output in the codomain space. Per the Wikipedia definition,

In mathematics, a function from a set X to a set Y assigns to each element of X exactly one element of Y.[1] The set X is called the domain of the function[2] and the set Y is called the codomain of the function.[3]

Not to call you out specifically, but a lot of people seem to misunderstand AI as being just like any other piece of code. The problem is, unlike most of the code and functions we write, it's not simply another function, and even worse, it's usually not deterministic. If we both give a function the same input, we should expect the same input. But this isn't the case when we paste text into ChatGPT or something similar.
> As one report put it, “Amazon can acquire more comprehensive data on people’s living habits....” The company wants to sell real-world services such as house cleaning, plumbing, and restaurant delivery, but according to some insiders, the vision is more far-reaching: an omniscient voice that knows all experience and anticipates all action! Already, forward-looking Amazon patents include the development of a “voice-sniffer algorithm” integrated into any device and able to respond to hot words such as “bought,” “dislike,” or “love” with product and service offers.

The Age of Surveillance Capitalism (2018) - Zuboff, Shoshana

Given that this is form 2018, the rise of voice assistants since then, all the market forces at play and the reward highly outweighing regulatory penalty payments there is little that's supporting that users are not being recorded. The TOS phrasses like 'service improvement', 'may share with third parties', and 'user experience' are common place and are not particularly concise. Simply dismissing anekdotes and honing in on Apple Inc., the only company which does not want/need to sell data, is not convincing.

I think people tend to shoot the messenger, when it comes to privacy discussions. Getting told one is being spyed on by a divice, which is so intimt and close to one slef is embarassing. Of course things are more like a spectrum and differ from case to case.
The same is true for me on Safari. I've tried with and without AdGuard and the experience on plenty of sites that I just want to get a quick tidbit from is awfully painful.

> AFAIK, a lot of mobile ad blockers work by proxying your traffic through their servers.

I don't know what your basis is for this claim. Mobile Safari had an API for content filter lists, and every ad blocker I’ve tried required me to enable several of these filters through the system settings. I don't think there's any way an iOS extension even could configure a proxy without user confirmation.
Could be wrong, but I feel like the most tedious part is categorization of transactions. I wonder if any have adopted LLMs to make this better?

United, and all major carriers I've flown on recently, already offer wifi (good enough to stream YT, in my experience, so presumably already good enough to attend meetings), this isn't a new service announcement.

This announcement is just that they are going to be trialing using Starlink as an ISP in addition to the other providers they already work with.

To be fair, most senior developers don't have any incentive to put this amount of analysis into a working codebase. When the system is working, nobody really wants to spend time they could be working on something interesting trying to find bugs in old code. Plus there's the social consideration that your colleagues might not like you a lot if you spend all your time picking their (working) code apart while not doing any of your tasks. Usually this kind of analysis would come from someone specifically brought in to find issues, like an auditor or a pen-tester.

I'd wonder if they'd be better off hiding the 300-search option from the pricing page, in that it immediately sends people to thinking about "can I deal with search as a metered resource?" Arguably it derails the conversation about paid search entirely.

Another idea might be if they partnered with some other service provider so they were a line item on something people are already comfortable paying for. I could imagine a cross-promo where you paid a few bucks extra a month when subscribing to like Fastmail or Proton to get Kagi with it. There's likely a fair cross appeal there.

I Googled anonymous hosting providers.

I wanted to see what advice would be offered
ot someone who just wanted to get set up
and be safe.

The first link on Google as:

"Best anonymous hosting in 2025: ranked"
by "Cybernews"
https://cybernews.com/best-web-hosting/anonymous-web-hosting...

Listing such known privacy maniacs
1 Hostinger
2 Namecheap
3 Dreamhost

Yeah......

Then we had TechRadar, they are more known
"Best anonymous hosting of 2024"
https://www.techradar.com/best/anonymous-hosting

- Hostinger
- Hostgator
- Namecheap.

Then a whole bunch more that all seemed to find
Hostinger to be THE PLACE for your anonymous privacy

They're all recyclable. Just not into grades of plastic anyone wants to manufacture things out of.

Recycled plastic are used heavily in things that people touch and need a lot of chonk to them relative to their strength to feel substantial and high quality or stuff that'll almost purely be loaded in compression (like bolt on plastic pads that prevent metal to metal contact or allow nice sliding).
The people who claim it's that hard to do these things have never heard of or used constrained/structured generation, and it shows big time!

Most other related issues of models these days are due to the tokenizer or poor choice of sampler settings which is a cheap shot on models.
A solution:

AdGuardHome and WireGuard running at home. WireGuard connects on-demand when I leave home.

I choose to run it at home because there are cases where services and/or sites block datacenter IPs, and I have complete control over what and how I block, no proxying through any blocking service.
Really? I doubt that. How large is a node on the plane?
Auto-translating content with Newspeak to prevent thoughtcrimes.
I would bet a lot that more than 200k people in the US care very deeply about this. I agree that the crux of the issue is that the topic is deep and complicated and requires nuanced good-faith discussion and iteration over a long period of time to achieve good outcomes. However, I think the main blocker is that parties in America have succeeded in boiling it down to a naively simple and highly partisan issue, causing all progress to stagnate.
They don’t want foreign businesses having a solid foothold in the country.
iOS ad blockers primarily work through the content blocker API, since several years ago. An app gives Safari a blocklist (which it's responsible for updating) and Safari applies that to any URIs it's asked to load.

I've been using Wipr for a few years now. It's basically set and forget.
Unhelpful for this situation, but NearlyFreeSpeech.Net is a pretty great host and their general policy is to tell people to pound sand for any requests.

Specifically in the face of a subpoena from a US court, they are bound by law to comply. There’s really no way around this. If a company wishes to remain in operation, they cannot flout the laws of the jurisdiction they operate within. That said, their policy is firm that they require legally binding instructions before acting and that they will alert you unless bound by law not to. This is a stronger guarantee than most hosts.

From their privacy policy:

> Unless legally prohibited, we will inform you of any cooperation we provide to any law enforcement authorities.

Delta courtesy of T-Mobile has been solid in my experience. A few times not but in general it works really well.
My impression is that YC weights the founders more heavily than the idea.

For example, Justin Kan's initial idea for JustinTV was strapping cameras to himself and streaming over the internet. I think YC bet on this because they thought the founding team might be able to make that happen despite the technical hurdles and ramen funding.

My advice is to optimize for your users, not for your YC application. It's not a college application and there is not a set of right answers that gets you in. YC bets on execution. Good luck.

It seems llms are very useful for some people and not so much for others. Both sides believe it's all or nothing. If it's garbage for me it must be garbage. If it's doing my work it must be able to do everyone's work... Everyone is very emotionally about it too because of the hype around it. Almost all conversations about llms, especially on hn are full of this useless bickering.
1Blocker works quite well as well.
The article misses one critical point in these attacks:

practically all these attacks require downloading remote files to the server once they gain access, using curl, wget or bash.

Restricting arbitrary downloads from curl, wget or bash (or better, any binary) makes these attacks pretty much useless.

Also these cryptominers are usually dropped to /tmp, /var/tmp or /dev/shm. They need internet access to work, so again, restricting outbound connections per binary usually mitigates these issues.

> He was a Scout leader, so he obviously sought ways to be close to children.

Not necessarily. Mormon scout leaders didn't get the assignment by their own volition, a church leader would pick them instead. Depending on the scout sponsor group how the leader is chosen could vary.

> We know how that turned out – no one hears about abuse by priests, and they are silently moved by the Church to another parish, to continue their abusive ways for decades.

The issue with the Catholic priests was twofold. First, instead of involving cops and prosecutors early on, church goers would instead reach out to church leaders about the problem. If it did make it's way to the cops, the church would go through extra efforts to make the priest go away to a different perish. (of course without informing the parishioners about the past).

Then of course there is an issue with cops and prosecutors treating religious abuse with kid gloves. Slap on "this is a religion" and all the sudden laws matter a lot less.

> In other words, enforced secrecy does not protect potential victims. There's a balance to be found, but it is hard to know what that is.

And, to be clear, I'm not trying to say we should have total secrecy about these sorts of abuses. I think a news report about a priest or a scout leader being charged is appropriate and that cops disclosing to anyone related to the incident that they are in the process of charging the individual is also appropriate and indeed necessary (after all, the individual could have injured their kids as well which would be a part of collecting evidence). A news organization naming the priest or scout leader would likely not be appropriate.

What I'm against is things like mugshot sites publishing every arrest and name associated with the arrest as an arrest is not a conviction. It's something that can hurt innocent individuals.

I don't even have a problem with sites like this publishing the mugshots of convicts.
A more positive view would be that the security team may have had different priorities to the product team.
just imagine, like just for a second how it becomes illegal to train anything that does not then afterwards produce, if publicly used or distributed, a copyright token which is both in the training set - to mark it - and in the produce - to recognize it.

I applaud the effort and results, but I would also like to see some perspective and a broader view in this article.

For example, it could include graphs showing the estimated amount of plastic being dumped into the ocean yearly, the current total amount of plastic in the ocean, and the amount they have cleaned up on 2024/so far to provide a clearer picture of the overall progress.

LunchMoney is cool. When Mint shut down I tried several apps (LunchMoney, Copilot, and Monarch). Unfortunately, I couldn’t get LunchMoney to work with one of my credit unions. I reached out to them but they couldn’t really do anything about it. I wanted to support the solo dev but I ultimately chose Monarch because it just worked with all my accounts out of the box.

Yes, true, no good documentation has ever been written in Markdown. Good point.
I understand about the contact thing. They have had contact with me directly and via my host and Cloudflare. They have asked for information about the account from the time their story was published up until now. So it's not just about that.
