Hey, I've been looking for a tool that can do reverse NS lookup for a nameserver pairs (ie. which domains have nameservers ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com) but all the services out there that I've found can only do one. Is this something you would consider implementing?
No one said artificial neurons are “less powerful.” They just work differently, and the way we “train” them is much less efficient and extensible. So of course there’s value in trying to understand how our language mechanisms work.

You are 100% right about Switzerland (but its so far ahead that adjustments would not matter too much), for the others its probably barely double digit percentage adjustments.

My personal experience is that German supermarkets are priced extremely competitive (Lidl/Aldi specifically), and Italy felt more expensive by comparison to me (except maybe for local produce and cheese).

Comparing after-tax pay instead would help the US pull ahead for sure, but I feel a bit mixed about that because those taxes pay for stuff like child- and healthcare, which in the US is probably significantly more expensive out-of-pocket than the median EU citizens pays in taxes for the same.
Google’s Gemini AI is really good at watermark removal
>though nowadays they have more competition in that area

This is what is called lack of moat. If today, every router beyond 1Gig was made by Cisco then the moat would be so wide that the internet would literally not exist without it.

The three things that any value investor values in stocks - Great management, good reinvestment of capital and a really wide moat. Cisco didnt have a wide moat. Nvidia currently does, but it may go away sooner than later as they don't really have any special sauce to their graphics cards as such. Same goes with OpenAI, or Qualcomm (Apple made a modem now) or any other tech company with an illusion of a wide moat. Tech businesses only have a wide moat until someone decides to compete seriously and that can usually be done with a lot of money in a relatively short time.

Some of the businesses like Walmart and Cosco for example have a really wide moat in the sense that their business is not something that someone with just money can beat in a few years. Look how amazon setup physical stores with money and failed. It's extremely difficult to setup that kind of business. Trust from suppliers and consumers takes decades in those kinds of businesses.

If your business is relying on a moat that someone can beat with R&D and money in a few years, then you don't really have a moat.
And I'm telling you that designing an application with a coherent memory management plan still leads to teams producing errors and bugs that are effectively prevented with sound tools. Soundness is not a shortcut.

Notwithstanding the other comments about the effect GDP per capita might or might not have on individuals, how much of this GDP difference is driven by the strength or weakness of consumer protections within a given economy?

Is higher GDP per capita truly a strong argument against consumer protections?
I’m not arguing that purely Safe Rust has UB theoretically and I’m 100% sympathetic to the difficulty. I’m saying in practice unsoundness can creep in from the real world and even the std library is not immune from this. This is even ignoring unsoundness due to compiler bugs which are smaller issues for now (but will become more so as ecosystems lag on updating the compiler).

It doesn’t hurt anything to acknowledge that safe Rust can be unsafe due to mistakes in abstractions while simultaneously acknowledging that Rust still has orders of magnitudes fewer memory safety issues than c/c++ even with these problems.

As for this specific bug, this kind of bug took a long time to fix for what it’s worth since it can take up to 3 years for a new edition to allow for fixing it. And “fixing” it doesn’t actually fix the unsoundness in existing code - it just changes the responsibility of who’s supposed to validate the usage is safe. It basically shifts the “blame” to the user for holding their tool wrong because code patterns that had been documented as being sound are now documented as being unsound and the user has to figure out how to make it safe once more.

I’m not trying to cast blame or aspersions - mistakes happen and that this was dealt with shows the strength of Rust’s ability to solve these problems vs c++ which is hopeless. But pretending like safe Rust exists purely in a vacuum devoid of interaction with the real world isn’t helpful I think.

I say all this with the utmost respect to your expertise and we basically agree on a lot of rust-related things. I just disagree slightly on the messaging here.
There's no such thing as a perfectly-watertight roof, therefore there's no qualitative difference between fixing the roof and buying a bigger bucket.

Quoted from your link

> Safe Rust: memory safe, no undefined behavior possible.
Unsafe Rust: can trigger undefined behavior if preconditions are violated.

So Unsafe Rust from a UB perspective is no different than C/C++. If preconditions are violated, UB can occur, affecting anywhere in the program. Its unclear how the compiler could check anything about preconditions in a block explicitly used to say that the developer is the one upholding the preconditions.

True, I was mainly thinking about the enterprise field in which I work.

Of course those are also the fattest targets for these actors. We get some really serious stuff very regularly. Which I can't elaborate on, but I mean, the threat model for a small / medium business is also much less heavy.

Also, most enterprises have cybersecurity insurance that will just pay out (and thus keep this activity going, sadly). I don't think smaller businesses would have that.

Hah, I agree. I think the thing that made me like Capistrano was basically that someone else had written what was basically shell scripts for me and had worked out a bunch of details so that I didn’t have to on my own (eg rollbacks).

Whether cap or custom scripts, the thing I loved about that is… it’s simple enough that you can fully understand what’s happening. Not just at an abstract level but very concretely.

Show HN: I built an AI authoring tool to create courses in minutes, not weeks
Hi indie hackers,

Im the founder of coursegenerator.pro - an AI course authoring platform, for creating course content that actually delivers value to the learner.

Why I developed it?
A few months back I was running an agency, in an attempt to attract leads we began creating course as lead magnets. But we were losing time, so we started hiring freelancers then we lost money.

Since the courses, we're cresting so many leads, I decided to use an AI course generator, but all of them were build for corporate training and not course authoring for e-learning, so that is why I built it
The effective number of bits (ENOB) is only ~8.7. Originally designed to have an ENOB of 9+ bits, but silicon bugs lowered it.

> provide optional remote attestation to verify OS and baseband integrity

And lock us out of our computing freedom while they're at it.

Remote attestation enables discrimination against free computers owned by users rather than corporations. They could theoretically allow users to set their own keys but it's not like apps and services are gonna trust people's personal attestation keys, they're only gonna trust Apple's and Google's.

This is among the most dangerous developments in cryptography to date and it's gonna end free computing as we know it today. Before this, cryptography used to empower people like us. Now it's the tool that will destroy our freedom and everything the word "hacker" ever stood for. Malware is a small price to pay to avoid such a fate.

It's not going to be "optional" either. Every major service is going to use it. Guaranteed.

I also see it translated into my local language, and indeed the title was localized into the equivalent of underpants. Maybe OP was retranslating it back to English?

Strange enough, the description has a hint about the translation, and I even can turn it off to get the English original, but this is not working on the Headline or the website itself.
I agree things like the slit experiments are easily explained by classical waves, and thus seem to point to particles being waves; and I see no inherent reason to bring up probability distributions and such to answer that observation.

Where I'm struggling is that classical waves will always spread out spherically, and their energy must do so too. The issue here being that if a photon is a minimal quanta of energy, but is just a classical wave, what prevents it from spreading out and having sub-photon energy? Or if indeed it does, how does that sub-photon quantity get measured? -- if these experiments claim to be emitting a time-series of single photons, classical wave interference won't occur (again, being separated in time).
Because SO at least requires you to THINK a little about what do you have a problem with.

With LLMs, you don't even need that. Just copy paste the error and you get a response. Copy and paste the Jira ticket description and you get a response. This wasn't possible with SO. Yes, none of those will likely work straight away but the point is that less thinking is required.

Hopefully, the junior's code will be reviewed before it gets merged
If my reading of the paper was correct, this kind of hash table is incredibly complicated to resize because resizing would invalidate all previously handed out pointers unless you only do chaining?

The other challenge is that computing N hash functions is quite expensive so in practice I think this ends up slower in real world terms despite the big-O speed up?

Does this actually end up beating open addressed hash tables? It seems more like a neat hypothetical CS result that wouldn’t have any actual real world application? That’s cool in and of itself but I’m curious if there’s any real world reason to do this.

Yes, but for a company our size, to have something notable exfiltrated you are usually speaking about large volumes as well, which are easier to detect.

And yes compromise detection is of course the priority. But it's not just one or the other. We do everything at the same time. The swiss cheese model and all that.

Action isnt the only measure of meaning or the only determinate of caring.

Caring exists on a spectrum, and isnt black and white.

Thoughts and prayers are a form of caring as well, and an important one. It isn't always what a utilitarian wants, but it is part of a package deal when working with real humans with emotional and social lives.
I think the better statement is that, if, say, you're running the Miller-Rabin test 10 times, you can be confident that an error in one test is uncorrelated with an error in the next test, so it's easy to dial up the accuracy as close to 1 as desired. Whereas with an LLM, correlated errors seem much more likely; if it failed three times parsing the same piece of data, I would have no confidence that the 4th-10th times would have the same accuracy rate as on a fresh piece of data. LLMs seem much more like the Fermat primality test, except that their "Carmichael numbers" are a lot more common.

The problem is that it's erasing a lot of precedent that has existed for hundreds of years in the US, and it's not apparent that the erasure will be a good thing for us. For example, the idea that the president has some kind of soverign immunity from murder or theft or graft while they are the president as long as they can justify it as carrying out a duty of the office is pretty abhorrent. Military officers in the US have pretty strict requirements not to commit war crimes and there is a pretty strong concept of an "illegal order." And what we're telling the president now is that because he or she is the executive there can be no such thing as an illegal order. So now the president can personally shoot people and they have immunity from that because they are the president.

And you have people arguing that on the one hand the executive has had too much leeway to regulate, but then in the same breath saying that the executive now needs to unilaterally ignore the orders of past congresses in order to fix whatever perceived problems have led us here. Which is a kind of irony that makes me think that this is being done not to solve problems but to reshape our government for some other end. And all of this is compounded by the legislature's unwillingness to exercise the exact power that they have been granted, which is to change the law of the United States.

So in this situation it's hard to see the courts siding with these people as simply rationally applying the law, because the law itself as written by past legislatures is simply being ignored, as are past judicial precedents, because they are inconvenient to the goal of dismantling the US government. It's also extremely dangerous because the "full faith and credit" of the United States depends on us honoring our commitments even when they are inconvenient to us.

Yes, the project does not make a ton of sense but it was for me the opportunity to learn ESP32 and have some fun. The outdoor module is constantly in deep sleep and only wakes up for a few seconds when the button is pressed. I put a 1000 mAh cell as that was the biggest capacity that fit the enclosure, that's probably way too much as in deep sleep the ESP32 barely consumes anything.

The indoor module is plugged straight into a wall socket so no batteries. When someone is at the door I am notified by Michael Scott: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umDr0mPuyQc (maybe I will get tired of this, for now it's still fun)

Back in the day code compilation was a greenlight to hop over onto the web and read. Then everything got really quick and us devs had to keep our noses to the grindstone.
