> CSP is one of the worst pieces of Web security infrastructure

I disagree. Like many things, it's a trade-off, in this case between configurability and extensibility for those who know what they're doing and security for those who don't. In the grand scheme of things, it seems pretty reasonable.

1f60c··on The New York Times Launches a Strong Case Against Microsoft and OpenAI
Microsoft owns GitHub, so an explicit Copilot carve-out is but a TOS update away if they wanted to.
1f60c··on Happy New Year HN!
Happy

  sum(n**3 for n in range(2, 10))
to all! May we continue to learn from one another.
1f60c··on Hidden gems of moreutils
One typo that's easy to make is:

  sort file.txt | sponge > file.txt
(i.e., using redirection rather than passing the path as an argument to sponge)

This is wrong and will not work! I've been bitten by it before.

1f60c··on Don't Say Velcro (2017)
(2017), according to https://eu.usatoday.com/story/money/2017/09/26/velcros-video...

They're trying to avoid genericide. I think if they didn't do this, they could actually lose the trademark.

1f60c··on NY Times copyright suit wants OpenAI to delete all GPT instances
I believe that ChatGPT is fair use, just on a much larger scale than we're used to.

Please don't post baseless accusations. I think dang has said that he tries to moderate less, not more, when YC companies are involved. (Although it's impossible to say what he would do in this situation.)
1f60c··on DeskHop – Fast Desktop Switching
> Ever tried to move that YT video slider to a specific position but your mouse moves too jumpy and suddenly you are moving your hand super-carefully like you're 5 and playing "Operation" all over again?

On YouTube specifically, you can scrub through a video frame-by-frame using the , (comma) and . (period) keys, no custom hardware required. :-)

1f60c··on A copy-and-patch JIT compiler for CPython
This is awesome.

I don't want to spoil anything, but please read the PR description. You won't regret it (or your money back!).

1f60c··on Beeper Mini removed from Google Play?
I just tried to load it and got a 404. Caching is fun!
1f60c··on Otter, Fastest Go in-memory cache based on S3-FIFO algorithm
What about https://pkg.go.dev/sync#Map?
1f60c··on Otter, Fastest Go in-memory cache based on S3-FIFO algorithm
This entire time, I thought it had something to do with Amazon S3.
1f60c··on ViewStats – YouTube Channel Statistics
If ViewStats is to be believed, that's nothing compared to T-Series—estimated revenue: $19.8 million in the last 28 days.

1f60c··on Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (December 2023)
Additionally, the directory listing is public.
1f60c··on Ask HN: How should I setup a phone for a newly blind relative?
"Every blind person this person has helped uses an iPhone" doesn't imply "every blind person uses an iPhone."
1f60c··on ChatGPT with voice is now available to all free users
The reference to [OpenAI's] exact number of employees is interesting in context.
1f60c··on Elevated Errors on API and ChatGPT
I've been logged out of the app, and I get an error when I try to sign back in.

On the web, I now see "ChatGPT Alpha," with an "Alpha models" dropdown ("Default" is the only option). Trying to chat with it fails with a generic error message as well. What does it all mean?

1f60c··on Reptar
Sounds like the real story should be that Google solved the halting problem. :-P
1f60c··on Lightweight Linux Distributions for Older PCs
> An odd comment.

The article reads to me like it was (partially) written by AI.

1f60c··on Porsche Open Source Platform
I knew I was missing something. Thank you!
1f60c··on Porsche Open Source Platform
> porsche-design-system/porsche-design-system

Why do companies open-source their design systems? Other people aren't allowed to create a website that looks like Porsche.com because of copyright and trademark laws anyway.

I always assumed it's because properly securing it is too much work for little gain (because of the reasons above), but maybe there's more to it?

1f60c··on Casino-like apps have drained people of millions
From my experience playing a popular blackjack social casino game, they seem free to make you hit a blackjack at just the right time to keep the dopamine (and real money) flowing.

(2020)

But more to the point, these "social casino games" (as they're known in literature) should probably be outlawed.

1f60c··on BitTorrent pirates won't receive ISP warnings in NL, but details can be revealed
I do not pirate content, but I hold a special dislike in my heart for the BREIN Foundation. Somehow, we've decided we're okay with them being the judge, jury and executioner regarding piracy in the Netherlands.
1f60c··on Copying Angry Birds with nothing but AI
There’s a list of Nitter instances here, if the flagship instance isn’t working (this happens from time to time): https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances
1f60c··on Copying Angry Birds with nothing but AI
And then it’s like, “thank you for telling me about this, I’ll remember that for next time,” which is how a human ought to respond but not how ChatGPT actually learns.
1f60c··on Apple unveils M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max
It’s strange that Vision Pro suddenly no longer has the current chip. (But it’s possible that they announced it with the M2 and started working on putting in the M3 as soon as it became available internally.)
1f60c··on Embarrassingly Simple Text Watermarks
FWIW, almost anyone can submit almost anything to arXiv.
1f60c··on Should you be scared of Unix signals? (2016)
I think this is also good life advice generally:

> don’t be afraid! be careful!

1f60c··on Windows 10 warns me to use a "Microsoft-verified" app
What about the message is defamatory? I think it's scummy but not illegal.
