I do find myself frustrated by Cloudflare and other bot checks and captchas on seemingly almost every everything I do. It’s hard not to think Cloudflare are ruining the internet

Very disappointing. I have no reason to use Orion on my iPhone if it isn’t matched by a Windows version. Immediate uninstall for me. Orion on iOS is slightly subpar, so idk why anyone would use it over Safari.

I was very excited about the possibility of having some rendering engine competition on Windows.

Kagi now gives you 50 free searches, at least if you're not signed in.

This is incredibly normal language and quite close to how I would write this quote, so what makes you think this is LLM text?

MinGW and MinGW-64/MSYS2 are just as inscrutable, fragile and new-user-hostile. The fact that you have to choose between MinGW (which has a 64 bit version) or MinGW64 (completely separate codebases maintained by different people as far as I can tell) is just the first in a long obstacle course of decisions, traps, and unexplained acronyms/product names. There are dozens of different versions, pre-built toolchains and packages to throw you off-course if you choose the wrong one.

If you're just a guy trying to compile a C application on Windows, and you end up on the mingw-w64 downloads page, it's not exactly smooth sailing: https://www.mingw-w64.org/downloads/

FWIW I think I was experiencing the same hangs as you, and they seem to have resolved on their own now. Worth checking again just in case

I would guess that there needs to be a clear, cheap, easy to use alternative to discord in order for a large numbers of communities to move over. It probably has to be a single clear alternative as well – multiple will exacerbate the decision cost

> > Microsoft has now confirmed in a statement to The Verge that it has received this negative feedback loud and clear, and is planning to make some important changes in 2026.

This line isn't in the article or the archived version of the article you linked - where did it come from?

I’m not sure it’s quite fair to call this hypocrisy. Lumo was introduced separately after the Proton Unlimited subscription, and it was never claimed to be included in Unlimited (they also have a handful of other products like Standard Notes that are not included)

Funny, I disagree. I think copilot truly sucks compared to the other options. But you can uninstall copilot, so I don’t see why it bothers people at all.

> Now if only they would listen to the feedback about windows 11 and their forced copilot we might be onto something.

You can just uninstall Copilot? It’s nowhere on my Surface Laptop 7 with W11.

I can't figure this one out - is it only a browser extension? The site keeps trying to trick me into installing a browser extension, which seems incredibly sketchy

Have you upgraded to the new .mdc file format? I didn't get around to .cursorrules before this format came out, but I'm finding .mdc is reliable if configured well (e.g. with the right file extensions)

This rings so completely true to me. Every time I notice a reproducible bug and try to report it to Apple I'm stunned by how difficult they make the process. Even reporting something as basic as incorrectly transcribed podcasts is an awful experience.

Triaging and categorising bug reports at scale really feels like something LLMs should be able to assist with significantly.

Lots of sites that return a ton of images, like an of the image search sites (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGO, loads of porn sites etc.)

Seems like something LLMs should be useful for, if not now then soon enough

+1, works well with Edgeium + uBlock.

It's so they can do exactly this sort of thing. Firefox has their won chrome wrapper on the engine, you can sign in with their sync account and it has inbuilt Pocket, tracking protection etc.

First hit for googling "Spectre Javascript POC": https://github.com/ascendr/spectre-chrome

>I get a noticeable weird feeling in my gut if I'm working in a environment where there are too many unknowns.

That's fear for me. Always a chance I'll knock something important over...

> * Practice empathy

Any tips on how to do this? I don't often feel things for myself and it's even rarer to experience empathy at a level I can detect. I meditate to try to better understand and learn to detect my feelings, but haven't made much progress yet (I use Headspace).

Amazon.com? Ebay? Hard to think of any major development at either in recent years

Sort of like the internet :)

Improved caching TFS puts a lot of effort into caching the disk to speed up disk accesses. It uses machine learning to learn patterns and predict future uses to reduce the number of cache misses.

See that does sound like a good idea - I've always observed HDDs with an SSD cache to have a phenomanly useless caching system

It says it right in the article:

> "We performed an investigation to identify other potentially similar methods and ensure that our fix addresses [sic] more than just the issue reported," Microsoft said through a spokesman, who answered emailed

If MS had immediately patched CVE-2017-0199, only for someone to reverse the patch, discover an identical exploit somewhere else in the code and commence immediate abuse, people would crucify Microsoft.

From the article, it seems clear that Microsoft scheduled a public release of the patch as soon as it became clear it was being publicly exploited.

Not really, according to the article the sequence of events went

* Microsoft warned in March of active attacks

* Microsoft schedules patch for April 11th

* McAfee sees attacks on April 6th

* McAfee publicly explains how to use the exploit on April 7th

* April 9th attack-kits are publicly for sale

* April 11th Microsoft releases public patch as scheduled

McAfee fucked up here.

Easier to compose an eloquent and effective reply in chat than in person. Time to think over the messages etc before responding. Can pick my nose while talking to you etc.

HN isn't populated solely by hackers any more. Personally, I like reading stuff like this because it's "bite-sized" and doesn't take very long. It's also simple and clear enough for someone that doesn't have your god-level scripting skills to implement.

I was thinking media editing/consumption (e.g. Video production, music making etc.). Presumably the Machine Learning GPU crowd get some use out of Windows machines too

3D/VR design and creative activities (or even just consumption), Cortana, higher performance media editing/creation... plenty of possibilities.
