I know you're joking, but none of these things actually foster fair competition so it's not making it into the language of a real bill. It's possible to enforce meaningful interoperability without forcing source code disclosure or enforcing a particular IDE/language.

"Sight (2011) – A Dystopian Glimpse into the Future of Augmented Reality" [video]
SIGHT is a thought-provoking 2011 short film by Eran May-raz and Daniel Lazo that imagines a future shaped by augmented reality (AR) technologies. Set in a world where information is constantly overlaid on our vision, the film explores the profound effects on privacy, relationships, and human interaction. Created as a student project at Bezalel Academy, it has since gained recognition at various film festivals and tech expos. This visually captivating film raises questions about the potential dangers of a hyper-connected society, making it a must-watch for anyone interested in the intersection of technology and humanity.

There are really two aspects two 2FA:

1: you as a user might want to protect your account

2: A website provider wants to secure their own business

If it's about 1, then the argument "I don't reuse passwords" hold some water. It doesn't protect you from somebody getting access to a plaintext copy of your requests (for example on the load balancer that terminates the TLS), but that's only a small part of potential attack surfaces.

But from the perspective the website owner, they might suspect that many of their users reuse passwords between sites. 2FA is a great defense against that, and also against brute force attempts.

I've done both and the only major reason I used jellyfin was to track watching on that server rather than Infuse as for some reason Infuse tends to reset stats on me.

Of course transcoding on the fly and stuff is there but I just want to stream the direct file to the tv so none of that matters.

*edit: For anyone else reading down here the parent's solution was better for me vs Plex. Simply streaming through infuse via SMB removes all the issues I don't want to deal with with Plex as it has gotten worse over the years and has invaded my purely local setup more and more. As long as it is encoded in a way Infuse can read it works great. I didn't have a file Infuse couldn't play.

I wholeheartedly agree, and perhaps it was just how I was interpreting the author's statement in the article. If it's saying that the "default" way of using GitHub Actions is dangerous and leads to subtle security footguns, I completely agree. But if you know the proper way to use and secure Actions, saying "everyone else does it a bad way" is irrelevant to your security posture.
This is true. Commercial interests have been waiting for the day when they could start mining the seafloors globally for these nodules. I was in college ~40 years ago and it was a topic of discussion back then. The technology to conduct the seafloor mining was not available though everyone knew that the day would come when it became feasible if industry required these minerals. Someone would work on solving the problems of access and recovery. The processing part was already done.

No one wondered how it would disturb the seafloor since so little was known about the deep sea environment back then.

The nodules were going to be the answer to mineral shortages that would naturally occur as you deplete all the economically recoverable deposits in your own country or as deposits in friendly countries become unavailable due to geopolitical changes. Countries that have little mineral wealth of their own but do have a coastline that gives them access to deep water could benefit by opening their offshore areas to seafloor mining.

I think the discovery or the notion that oxygen could be produced in the deep sea by processes acting on or with these nodules is not unusual. Extremophile organisms able to live in anoxic conditions in total darkness on the seafloor should surprise no one. It also should surprise no one that some of the organisms may have evolved to produce oxygen as a by-product of their interaction with mineralized rocks.

It's a big ole beautiful world out there and we don't understand a lot about it. It seems unlikely that in 4.5 billion years nothing has evolved to fill that niche. Personally I think it's bacteria all the way down.

You have to keep this tank sealed or the water gets slightly oxygenated by contact with air, you have to keep it in the dark and at stable temperature or other reactions could disrupt your experiment. How do you measure the oxygenation without introducing potential error in this context ? You can't just make an instrument appear in the middle of the tank.

I just want to add. Many people believe that Musk's involvement in politics what is hurting the share price, but the reality is that the company itself is in a tough spot. Tesla has long struggled with build quality issues and competition from chinese automakers is growing at an astonishing rate. On top of that, Tesla's stock has been trading at extremely high PE ratios for some time, signalling investors expect unrealistically high growth. Serious effort will be needed to get the company back on track, regardless of who is CEO.
There’s a bit of truth to all of what you said.

These tools aren’t useless, obviously.

But people do really learn hard into confirmation bias and/or personification when it comes to LLMs.

I believe it’s entirely because of the term “artificial intelligence” that there is such a divide.

If we called them “large statistical language models” instead, nobody would be having this discussion.
I think due to drones there will be a trend towards very lightly armored vehicles that spend most of their time loitering with short periods of shoot-and-scoot. When even tanks can be destroyed by drones it doesn't make much sense to keep pursing stronger, heavier, and more expensive armor.

The versatility of the CyberTruck manufacturing chain would make it pretty easy to pump out many variants for different roles and easily change the variants as tactics progress.
I never thought about it until now, but it’s insane that the companies who offer both LLM products and cloud compute services are double dipping— they get the LLM product to sell, as well as the elevated load egress (and compute, etc.) money. When you look at it that way, where’s the incentive to even care about inefficient LLM scraping, leaving it terrible makes you money from your other empire, cloud storage egress costs.

I was on the Jellyfin train for a while. It has enough frustrations (absolutely forsaken anti-support for subdirectories, trashfire Chromecast sync/control issues) that I switched back to UPnP/DLNA.

It's been pretty good! Gerbera has worked pretty well as a MediaServer. Every TV I have has a builtin MediaRenderer, and some of my controllers like BubbleUPnP on my phone let me cast to Chromecast. I love that gmrender-ressurect is a really good MediaRenderer I can run on laptops and desktops. Bubble also has a media transcoder that as part of their pro package, which was pretty affordable & an easy to use proxy.
But we already know strip mining is absolutely horrible on the surface of earth, especially when water is running through the mine tailings, and this would be strip mining while in the water which already makes it worse before we even get to other unknowns. I think the onus should be the people that want to mine to show that it isn't likely to cause problems before they start mining it.

With diagrams, it's still worth getting the code for the same reason we ask LLMs to write software using a programming language rather than directly giving compiled output.
When you opt in, Cloudflare will automatically deploy an AI-generated set of linked pages when we detect inappropriate bot activity, without the need for customers to create any custom rules.

AI Labyrinth is available on an opt-in basis to all customers, including the Free plan.

It's opt-in for now anyway so if it is causing pain people should find a way to contact the website operators in question and have them open tickets assuming they are not on the free plan and get the AI tuned. When all else fails they can create Tell HN threads here and provide details. Sometimes those threads get the attention of Cloudflare executives here. I would bookmark these [1][2]. Excluding non-executives that are also here.

I am personally not against the idea of having squirrel wheel traps for bots as I have created very simplistic ones in the past that worked well against poorly coded bots and sometimes even crashed them to the point where bot operators would block my domains from being crawled. I do not have the skills of CF to make something more advanced like they did or I would and since I do not use CDN's I am on my own unless someone makes an open source version that can be plumbed into HAProxy or Nginx. I guess that makes me a skiddie.

Cloudflare WAF Rule Generator – Because I Kept Blocking the Wrong Things
I got annoyed tweaking Cloudflare WAF rules—too many typos, wrong fields, and accidentally blocking legit traffic while chasing bots. So I threw together a tool over a weekend to make it brain-dead simple: the Cloudflare WAF Rule Generator (https://alivecheck.io/waf-generator).

It’s got two modes:

AI-driven: Type “block requests from Russia” or “stop SQL injection attempts,” and it spits out a clean rule. No docs diving required.
Manual builder: Dropdowns for fields (ip.src.country, http.request.method), operators (regex, equals, etc.), and values. Real-time rule generation.
You can copy rules with one click or save them with metadata. It’s free, no login nonsense. I’ve been using it to lock down endpoints and kill bot traffic without the usual trial-and-error pain.

Thoughts? Anyone else wrestle with WAF syntax enough to build their own fix? Open to feature ideas—I’m still iterating.

And similarly the battery prices are very outdated. I don't blame the author for using those estimates, I frequently do too just because getting access to current data usually requires paying money.

But making decisions on that data without understanding that current prices and near-term prices will be about half of that price will lead to bad decisions. And when thinking 5-10 years out, not taking the full exponential drop in battery and solar prices is beyond foolish.
How about if they claim to be google chrome running on windows 11, from a residential IP address? Is that a human or an AI bot?

The gentleman is spot-on in his assessment. Nearly everything cultural is "slop" from an educated, elitest perspective. And that's fine! It gives people who are into that thing a place to excel and establish their unique identity and contribution.

But most everything cultural is awful: most TV, movies, food, architecture, fashion, etc wouldn't pass professional muster. AI art can be slop because it's produced and consumed by regular folks. But it can also be not-slop.

> it's able to generate essays on anything and everything

I have tried various models out for tasks from generating writing, to music to programming and am not impressed with the results, though they are certainly very interesting. At every step it will cheerfully tell you that it can do things then generate nonsense and present it as truth.

I would not describe current LLMs as able to generate essays on anything - they certainly can but they will be riddled with cliche, the average of the internet content they were trained on with no regard for quality and worst of all will contain incorrect or made up data.

AI slop is an accurate term when it comes to the writing ability of LLMs - yes it is superficially impressive in mimicking human writing, but it is usually vapid or worse wrong in important ways, because again, it has no concept of right and wrong or model of the world which it attempts to make the generated writing conform to, it just gets stuck with some very simple tasks, and often happily generates entirely bogus data (for example ask it for a CSV or table of data or to reproduce the notes of a famous piece of music which should be in its training data).

Perhaps this will be solved, though after a couple of years of effort and a lot of money spent with very little progress I'm skeptical.

from another angle it's actually good in the long run because ai generated content is not copyrightable which means they wont own the models as they can and will be distilled by other ais making it a public good. so maybe instead of complaining and trying to fight it, just accept the new reality that anything that can be accessed will be accessed by whatever and instead maybe we should just have apis for everything with rate limits and different tiers.
