Incredible what mobile phones and browsers can do nowadays. I remember implementing this paper from 1993 (the absolutely OG for this topic and very readable): “Display of The Earth Taking into Account Atmospheric Scattering” by Nishita et al: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/2933032_Display_of_...

Rewriting it using an LLM is one. But did all the contributors became as proficient in Rust as they were in Zig over night as well?

That’s because of the primary energy fallacy: https://medium.com/@jan.rosenow/have-we-been-duped-by-the-pr...

TL;DR: the efficiency of converting fossil energy resources into something useful is poor.

Do they maintain the original connection between the fibers or is that not worth the effort and is a swap not a problem?

Wouldn’t using opaque tokens have avoided the problem altogether?

They do other unholy things. I don’t know what, but consistently while playing music on my HomePod opening that site makes it stutter within a few minutes, fully stop working shortly afterwards and it needs a reboot to work again.

TL;DR: medical case report of a guy who inhaled hydrogen gas, lit a cigarette, blew up internally and survived.

I think there are two angles to look at this. Yes, there’s the attack on the weblog. But there’s also pressure on archive.today, e.g. an FBI investigation [1] and some entity using fictitious CSAM allegations [2].

You repeat the same mistake here:

> I'm simply talking about the simple improbability of, out of all possible lives I could have had, mine being one this relatively comfortable and novel.

That implies that there is a separate organism and an “I” (I used the word soul for that) and that the two were assigned to each other. No, the two are the same. And the probability of you being you is 100%.

Your thinking is flawed. It seems to assume that you were pulled from a pool of souls and got assigned to an organism somewhere in time. That’s not the case. What makes you “you” is nothing but your brain cells.

I think “simulate” would’ve been a more accurate word than “build”.

Nice, thanks and I agree.

Well that depends on your luck, it could be a valid one about 1/16th of the time.

Anyone knows why this is called “decryption”? I thought that the mechanism was simply a fuse that would deny reading/debugging operations, is there actual crypto involved?

This article (with high slop vibes) and another article on their site (linked in the comments) seem to suggest that post quantum encryption mitigated the Sybil attack, without explanation. I fail to understand how the two are even related.

Cool theory but that should result in other attacks that peak in February too, can you give examples?

So do I read it correctly that good old detective work did the job, and that breaking e2e encryption and client side scanning wasn’t needed? Politicians tell me a different story.

I thought that your “background in literature” contributed to the “well-written docs”, but that was LLMs!

Anecdotal, and even meta-anecdotal, but hey: four months ago I started to supplement omega 3 thanks to this hyperbolic HN comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45169875

Unlike the commenter, I didn’t suddenly turn into a chess grandmaster, but I did notice that my winter blues didn’t show up this year, the first time in a decade!

Not weird, that’s tradition by now.

Oh wow, great find! That’s really early days.

Multiple people have coined the idea repeatedly, way before you. The oldest comment on HN I could find was in December 2022 by user spawarotti: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33856172

I used to believe that I was working with JSON schema through OpenAPI 3.0, but then I learned a hard lesson that it uses an “extended subset” of it. And what does that mean? It “means that some keywords are supported and some are not, some keywords have slightly different usage than in JSON Schema, and additional keywords are introduced.” [1]. Yes, that’s a bonkers way to say “this is not JSON schema although it looks similar enough to deceive you”. This word game and engineering choice is so bizarre that it’s almost funny.

Because they are at least 28 years old.

TL;DR. Author with “years of experience of shipping to prod” mutates globals without a mutex and is surprised enough to write a blog.

Classic. I see issues. Vendor’s status page is all green. Go to HN to find the confirmation. Applies to AWS, GH, everyone.

Edit: beautiful, this decentralised design of the internet.

I love Go. It makes that I get shit done. I picked up Go more than ten years ago, because it was HN’s darling and when I didn’t know about hype cycles. No regrets.
