singoldon Ask HN: Is OpenAI login broken for OIDC logins?

I'm having the same issue, there's also other people on Reddit talking about this.

I suspect it may be a configuration issue because it seems that openai is a customer of arkoselabs, but who knows...

singoldon Koreans react to startling results in Pew "what makes life meaningful" poll

My grandma used to say that and added "que lo demás, todo se arregla" (that everything else can be fixed).

singoldon Cryptography experts trash NFTs on first day of RSA Conference

I get the difference between different blockchains, but what I can't see is what value I get when I buy an NFT. As I see it I only get the brag rights of "owning" something on some blockchain and the posibility of reselling that right.

But I may be missing something

singoldon Cryptography experts trash NFTs on first day of RSA Conference

I understand the decentralized nature of the blockchain, but couldnt I mint the same painting on multiple blockchains?

I'm not an expert, but I can see the value on cryptocurrencies and ETH and all the smart contract tech. But I can't see the same value on NFTs, as more than speculation.

singoldon Cryptography experts trash NFTs on first day of RSA Conference

What I dont understand is what stops you from minting the same thing on multiple NFT blockchains and why is it any diferent than something centralized, and thats why I dont like all the NFT hype

(I may be dumb and dont get what NFTs really are)

singoldon Checklist.video – Research backed tips for great video calls

I've also noticed in my case that bluetooth headphones interfere with my laptops wifi, but am not sure why. And the hardware bottleneck makes a lot of sense for me because those headphones didn't interfere when weren't connected to the laptop (the same happens to me with my phone)

singoldon The Exclusive Website

Same here, Reminded me of a youtube parody "the closed cafe - so exclusive it's closed all day"

singoldon Sea Levels Are Rising Faster Than Most Pessimistic Forecasts

That makes sense but was not what I understood. I may have to re read the article

singoldon Sea Levels Are Rising Faster Than Most Pessimistic Forecasts

I'm not a crazy conspirationist denier, but saying "no" to what I've experienced in MY life, is a little too much and is really not effective to convince anyone of anything, let alone a conspirationist that would think that you are a judeo-masonic-reptilian.

Nonetheless I'll tell you that my sources of information as kid were the 3 private TV news of my country and later some "science" shows from cable TV.

We can discuss if that was true science or not, but it was what lots of people were exposed to, and those "predictions" didn't happened. If your sources of information are peer reviewed scientific papers, good for you, but that is not what happens to the 99% of the population.

singoldon Sea Levels Are Rising Faster Than Most Pessimistic Forecasts

I don't define myself as a denier but in the last months I'm more sceptic about all of this. I also live in a coastal city and remember clearly (we also have lots of archive on the internet) how when I was a kid there were lots of news about global warming and the rising of sea level to life changing amounts in few years. More than 20 years have passed and I don't see any of that here, not even minor changes on the coast. I see more problems (here at least) because agrochemicals and deforestation than from global warming.

singoldon Sea Levels Are Rising Faster Than Most Pessimistic Forecasts

I'm not a climate scientist or anything near, but from skimming the article I understood that the new model estimated worst predictions than previous models. Like you can't talk about "reality" of the future that didn't happened yet. Please correct me if I misunderstood something

singoldon Sweden's cashless society is no longer a utopia

You don't have all your paper money in your wallet with you all the time, right?

If I lose my wallet now I can go to my house and I have money to eat. If I lose my phone (or my wallet with card in a cashless society) I'm in a bigger problem in the short term

singoldon Rhetoric around the blockchain hints at problems with techno-utopian ideologies

http://www.epeso.uy/

Nothing technical there but it is a central bank backed digital currency that IMHO exists as a consequence of cryptocurrencies.

My 2 eCents :P

singoldon How do I go from poorly organized to executive level organized?

GTD and a trello board works for me (when I have the discipline to keep it up to date)

I've used this guide (https://hamberg.no/gtd/) to start and really didn't need anything else

singoldon Facebook Secretly Saved Videos Users Deleted

This is why I've never really deleted my FB account, I've just deactivated it. If I don't believe they would truly delete the data I might better have it available if I want it

I dont have the data but probably most applicants are 20-30 too.

singoldon How 4000 Physicists Gave a Vegas Casino Its Worst Week (2015)

My grandfather worked at a casino decades ago, and they interchanged the roulettes between tables, I can't remember if it was daily or weekly

singoldon Bitcoin Bubble Makes Dot-Com Look Rational

To be fair, I don't think paper money is backed by anything more than "trust" in the goverments that print it, and that people will accept that as payment.

If you "trust" the bitcoin network, and think that someone may accept bitcoin in exchange for something that you want, it looks pretty similar (obviously not comparable in scale yet)

singoldon Bitcoin Bubble Makes Dot-Com Look Rational

AFAICT transaction fees aren't the reason someone "invests" or buys bitcoin, if you buy bitcoin you don't get a fraction of those fees. If you want that you should invest in mining, so I think the initial part of the analysis is flawled.

The second part looks like nothing to say, backed by a lot of non sensical numbers, but I'm not a native english speaker and also generally don't read nor like economic "analysis", so I may be wrong

singoldon Why we never thank open source maintainers

This. A lot.

I work at a company with less than 500 people and for IT open source is evil.

I've seen people been told by IT to find another software that does the same thing but paid, and we have a law that mandates us to prefer FLOSS when possible...

singoldon Show HN: Using machine learning to recommend dashboards during incidents

I like the idea. It is something that we may buy at my job, but it being "cloud based" is a deal breaker for us, any plan for some self hosted version?

singoldon FBI pushes private sector to cut ties with Kaspersky

I kind of like Kaspersky more than the NSA o CIA, but don't forget that they have their own interests too.

That's cool, did you manage to get a job that way back then?

singoldon Facebook listening to conservations?

How possible it is to reverse the app looking for syscalls to the microphone api or something?

You should probably discard user initiated audio recording if available but looks doable for someone with the knowledge.

Disclaimer: I know almost nothing about reversing
