Onavo, the VPN app-company that was repurposed by facebook for market intelligence, was only acquired in 2013, Instagram was acquired a year earlier in 2012.

But before 2013 there were methods on both iOS and Android for an App to get a list of all OTHER installed apps on the device.

Facebook had the means to know exactly at which rate each app was growing and how many of the users they have to share with it, the facebook app itself was gathering this info.

They could gather enough data to even calculate how much user-attention they lose after each app is installed on a users' device.

--

Onavo was then acquired in 2013, right when Apple started to lock-down those app-scanning methods with iOS7.

So it appears that the company was acquired to be able to KEEP doing something they have already been doing before that with the facebook app.

After living in London where in 20 years I only experienced one power cut that lasted more than a few minutes (and it was about 2 hours, unfortunately the evening before a university paper needed submitting (printed and delivered in person the following morning as they used to be)), I now live more in the countryside. Just the other night we had a 2 hour plus powercut, and we seem to get about one a year - but I wonder if that is more down to local building work than regional issues, and it has never been due to weather.

Thanks for pointing this out, I've deployed a fix. One of my goals for the project is to create a useful computing environment on top of any arbitrary locked down platform, so I'd love to turn it into an iOS app at some point.
Awesome!

yes you are correct, BitTorrent - sequential download also works exactly like that.

The government's list of requests is reasonable, moral and necessary. It's the taxpayers' prerogative to demand a merit based system that, in
conjunction, upholds the values and freedoms they hold dear.

The elitist and morally detached Harvard and its fellow privileged, largely useless, institutions can exercise their right to refuse the demands and the money.

No need to complicate it further.

It seems that the very idea that some employees in academia might be superfluous is very disagreeable for some HNers.

Why? Institutional bloat is a well known problem, it happens in private sector, public sector, churches, military, wherever you can think of. It probably already happened in Ur and Nineveh. Why should academia be somehow immune from this problem?

And if it is not immune, shouldn't it try to do something with it?

There was a massive increase in tuition in the last generation or so. How much of that extra money goes to the core mission of the universities, and how much is spent on "nice to have extras", starting with opulent campuses and ending with "Standing Committees on Visual Culture and Signage"?

Everyone has to trim the fat down a bit from time to time. Even Google and Meta. Why not Harvard.
Brexit literally just resulted in the UK having lower tariffs and a probable free trade deal with the largest economy on the planet.

There's an image on the second link you provided (the getting started overview page) that I think has a picture of all the components, but the image loads at very low resolution on mobile and if I click to expand it the click takes me to another page that doesn't have the image.

Would be great to be able to actually see all these components.
This is a great article, but I really hate the fact that we have to rely on weak security to make our devices consumer-friendly/usable. I'm looking forward to the EU passing some law that says that devices should work locally as well, and then everything can just be Zigbee. I love Zigbee.

I also have such a lamp. Supposedly it's USB-C connection, but it only works when connecting with USB-A to USB-C cable.

My guess is it's due to the requirement to comply with EU law about USB-C. But proper USB-C requires active circuitry but manufacturers don't add it to save a few cents.

As much as I want to geek out and run the things locally, if I have the money I just want to use a SaaS. I want to spend time creating new applications and not toy around with setup, infrastructure etc. I’d gladly pay ChatGPT even more if they keep up with features and they seem to have done that quite well since deepseek (new models often, best image gen hands down, very fast inference compared to 6 months back and even small things like memory).

I sometimes feel guilty though. With all this power, I’m just bounded by lack of ideas and execution.
"well seeded" means what exactly?

if i can send 2 copies of piece to 2 people immediately as i got it, then if my download takes 20 ms and sending it another 20 ms is it "well seeded" for those 3 people after 50 ms? or after how much time it is "well seeded" ?

It is possible to create the desired wavefront using many emitters. A phased array is doing exactly that. But, yeah, tolerances for a phased array of IR lasers are much tighter. I'm not sure if it's technologically possible right now.
I wish there were no "software products" at all. They usually just come in the way. I favor open source, and not imposing unnecessary constraints on users. Every piece of software should be swappable, and tying it to a vendor makes it less so.

> It makes no sense to say that you did not adhere to the contract if it allowed you to do something.

I think this is the point where I really disagree with you. I don't see how this is different for smart contracts, as opposed to, say legal contracts written in english. It is not true in general that just because a contract says something, that those exact terms are enforced. There is a whole body of law around what terms are enforceable, what to do in cases of mistakes, and so on.

I am now really unclear on what your position is. I thought originally that you were in favour of smart contracts, and that it was somehow unfair or unethical for e.g. a court to rule whether a smart contract was intended to do something different than what it did. So I am trying to understand why you think it is unethical. In this case I think it is unethical to obey the smart contract, and that what this kid did is unethical and should be illegal. Are you saying what he did is wrong, but he should be allowed to do it anyway? If so, why?
I didn't look at this video, but be vigilant when seeing one, as I was also surprised by someone demonstrating what they can do with Cursor and I went so far to install the exactly the same version of the app, use the same model and everything (prompt, word capitalization...) I could gather from the video and the results were nowhere near what was demonstrated in the video (recreating mobile web page from screenshot).
I know that LLMs are not deterministic machines, but IMO there is a lot of incentive to be "creative" with marketing of this stuff.
For the reference, this was less than two months ago.
I built a proof of concept doing exactly that a few years ago[0]. The codebase is unmaintained and the demo website has been down for a wee while too, but it's basically this idea.

Live streaming is, by nature, a "one-to-many" distribution model, where content flows from a single source to many viewers in real time.

BT, on the other hand, is fundamentally designed for "many-to-many" distribution, where peers share pieces of content with each other over time.
This isn't just a question of tweaking the protocol—it's a fundamentally different problem. Unless you're willing to compromise on the immediacy of the stream, using BT for true live streaming isn't really a good fit.
This is pretty cool. You should also attempt to scan resources if possible. Similar to the tool injection attack Invariant Labs discovered, I achieved the same result via resource injection [1].

The three things I want solved to improve local MCP server security are file system access, version pinning, and restricted outbound network access.

I've been running my MCP servers in a Docker container and mounting only the necessary files for the server itself, but this isn't foolproof. I know some others have been experimenting with WASI and Firecracker VMs. I've also been experimenting with setting up a squid proxy in my docker container to restrict outbound access for the MCP servers. All of this being said, it would be nice if there was a standard that was set up to make these things easier.

The reason I don't use Github is Microsoft's hatred stance on open source.

Anyone remember Microsoft calling Linux a "cancer"? Or Microsoft threatening open source developers for violating 200 patents? Or their official stand where they whould threaten and fear Linux devs? The secretly funded lawsuits against Linux? They even threatened lawsuits at companies for just using Linux.

This company is rotten by the executive level.

Genocided is certainly the wrong term. It is not on all Palestinians but the government of Gaza did attack Israel. It fired an insane amount of rockets before their latest attack too, but that has already been seen as normalized. Which is ridiculous as well.

If oppression justifies these rocket attacks, a lot more than some rhetoric can be justified as well.
and there is no reason for bittorrent to not being able to send/download 3000 TS chunks / static files for 3 hour movie in sequential order.

I hate to say it but Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.

Phase one is adopting it (you are here). Phase two is somehow turning it into a Web standard deeply integrated with Chrome which they have no real competition from and takes billions of dollars just to stay apace with.

Not sure about Extinguish to be honest, Google just wants the monopoly and they already have it.
Question: Does this use single file or something similar? I've basically been dying for an easy to use local bookmarking service that uses singlefile?

Second question: How easy is it to crawl the local store and apply LLMs or RAG?
I got something similar running with nginx myself with purpose of getting access to my internal services from outside. The main idea here is that internal services are not on same machine this nginx is running on, so it will pass around to needed server in internal network. It goes like this:

server_name ~^(?<service>(?:lubelogger|wiki|kibana|zabbix|mail|grafana|git|books|zm))\.domain\.example$;
location / {
resolver 127.0.0.1;
include proxy.conf;
proxy_set_header Authorization "";
proxy_set_header Host $service.internal;
proxy_set_header Origin http://$service.internal;
proxy_redirect http://$proxy_host/ /;
proxy_pass http://$service.internal;
}

Basically any regex matched subdomain is extracted and resolved as $service.internal and proxy passed to it. For this to work, of course any new service has to be registered in internal DNS. Adding whitelisted IPs and basic auth is also a good idea ( which I have, just removed from example ).
Neither does Temu. They're misrepresenting what Temu does, at least in my experience.

If you choose a star rating below five, Temu asks if you'd like to request a refund or seek other assistance. The one time I said yes -- it was a keyboard where a shift key wouldn't trigger consistently at the peculiar angle that my typing style hit it at -- it immediately gave me a 100% refund and said just keep it.

But I've left other low-star rating without trouble. The refund/assistance suggestion is an entirely optional sidetrack.

>The argument isn't that Harvard should never draw from its endowment, like it's saving for retirement or something

The argument I was replying to was actually of exactly this form.

That argument also implied that any endowment spending to cover shortfalls would necessarily be of the principal, but that is also incorrect.

In fact, the White House just responded with a $2.2B funding freeze—an amount that would have been covered by last year's endowment return.

But the person receiving the package doesn't receive the package until they've paid the tariff.

You don't have to pay it -- if you don't, the package gets returned to sender or destroyed.

The post office delivers you a slip with information to go to your local post office to pay it and pick up the package. With UPS and FedEx you get a notice to pay online, and they deliver it once you do, as far as I know.

I've never heard of something being delivered without the tariff already having been paid, and then it going to collections. Has anyone ever experienced that personally? I don't see how that would be legal, or why a delivery service would expose themselves to risk of nonpayment.

While the author gave a contrived need of controlling this device like the others, they may be simplifying their motivations for the purpose of focusing the article.

homeassistant allows you to perform follow on work or even long term analysis. For example the author could use the information to decide what times of day during which seasons are best for airing out the house (more popular in Europe than North America), or if air quality dips happen to coincide with their leaky clothes dryer spewing fibers and soap particles out into the home, or when they cook on their gas range, etc.

Yeah, async Rust is needlessly difficult. I can't quite put my finger on it but having to sift through 10+ crates docs definitely left a very sour taste when I had to modernize one tokio 0.1 app to a 1.x one.

My point is that we're not just talking about A/B of 100, but rather A/B of 10000000000000 or more. If you're inverting the ratio we're estimating, then instead of estimating the value at 0, we're estimating it at infinity (or, okay, if you want to use Laplace smoothing, then a million, which is far too low).

There are situations where you would use rejection sampling because generating 100x more random numbers is much cheaper than doing the complex calculations required to accurately model the space in question. Maybe 50 dimensions (and the 13 orders of magnitude difference) isn't big enough to raise those concerns. If we instead talk about 100 dimensions, then we're dealing with a difference of 40 orders of magnitude, and if you tell me that still doesn't matter, then I don't know what to say.
