So BGP misconfigured again?

If you thought that, you would be really delusional about what is actually failing.
throwaway019254··on Tell HN: Ask your AI, "What can you tell me that you know about me?" to see ...
I use models only through APIs - e.g. gpt-4o through Azure, or Google models through Vertex API. So no data are stored about me.
throwaway019254··on Ask HN: Is building a calm, non-gamified learning app a mistake?
I don't even know the other meaning of this word.

throwaway019254··on Talent Is Alignment
> In fact, while I’m unable to remember sounds or hear them in my head, it seems I have a rather good understanding what “sounds nice” that allows me to ad-hoc compose music.

This is interesting. I can remember and hear sounds in my head, but can't visualize any images.

I wonder how common it is.

Not sure if sarcasm or flame bait.
throwaway019254··on Ask HN: LLM struggles to center div too?
I had much better success with FE than with BE.

Does it mean AI is really bad at FE and even worse at BE?

throwaway019254··on Ask HN: How are you attributing your AI usage when developing software?
Completely agree.

That’s why I always prefix my commit messages with “IntelliJ:”.

throwaway019254··on A 14kb page can load much faster than a 15kb page (2022)

If my manager fire somebody for using common sense, I’m not going to tell them anything. Because I can be next.
throwaway019254··on Microsoft begins turning off uBlock Origin and other extensions in Edge
> So if you want a better web experience with uBlock Origin, Firefox is your only choice

Too bad a lot of websites just don't work with Firefox. It seems web devs are not testing with Firefox anymore.

This game is freaking addicting. I had to uninstall it.
throwaway019254··on Who killed the rave? Late-night dancing falls into global decline
I realized that it's impossible to find clubs that serve alcohol till morning. The laws are more strict nowadays.

Most of the raves I attend now are on indigenous lands, it's definitely not mainstream, and I can party till morning.

throwaway019254··on How long til we're all on Ozempic?
To paraphrase: Instead of relying on medication that helps with issues caused by our society, let's completely change the society so it's no longer the issue?

That's very idealistic, in my opinion.

The Catcher in the Rye

Happens to me when my phone connects to a cell tower in Mexico. I get a Mexican IP address, and Google tries to accommodate.
throwaway019254··on Ask HN: Encryption algorithm with *multiple* decryption keys?
You encode the cleartext with a single master key. Then you encrypt the master key with multiple keys and store it together with the encrypted cleartext.

This will not take much more space as only the master key is encrypted multiple times.

Now anybody who has one of the keys can decrypt the master key and subsequently decrypt the cleartext.

And exactly one week after warranty ends?

And I would say I am pretty successful.

Besides that - recycling and avoiding single-use plastics as much as possible.

throwaway019254··on Ask HN: Should scripting engines distinguish between "null" and "undefined"?
> Do scripting languages really need both "null" and "undefined" values?

Do programming languages really need any of these two?

throwaway019254··on Java is becoming more like Rust, and I am here for it
I'm surprised there aren't more people using Java nowadays. The JVM is rock solid, the speed is really good, and the latest changes are making the language much more modern.

Maybe people are actually using it but not talking about it? Not sure.

throwaway019254··on Ask HN: Purchasing real estate property doesn't seem to make financial sense
