Banditoz··on Google is dead. Where do we go now?
I will say I have no experience in the ad space, but surely the SEO/ad companies will figure out how to game LLMs to make their sites more likely to be picked up by it, no? Or OpenAI would just directly sell ads themselves.
Banditoz··on We pwned X, Vercel, Cursor, and Discord through a supply-chain attack
I'm curious what caching architecture a docs site needs, it can't be more complicated than a standard fare CDN?
Banditoz··on MIT Report Claims 11.7% of U.S. Labor Can Be Replaced with Existing AI
Didn't MIT also publish a similar report saying most AI implementations don't add any value, or something similar?
Banditoz··on S&box is now an open source game engine
I have never heard of this. It looks like a crypto thing. Can they really hold a candle to Facepunch?
Banditoz··on What they don't tell you about maintaining an open source project
For me, it could be:

> it's not better. it's different

> automation isn't lazy. it's sustainable

> it's not about gatekeeping. it's about making debugging possible

This is everywhere in the article.

Banditoz··on Steam Machine
Many do, especially at higher resolutions.
Banditoz··on You will own nothing and be (un)happy
What
Banditoz··on Sora 2
I genuinely don't understand the consistent rhetoric on this site of:

> new AI feature/model comes out

> "it's going to replace people in this field! they better start looking for a new job!!!"

why is this a good thing?

Banditoz··on Launch HN: Strata (YC X25) – One MCP server for AI to handle thousands of tools
I think having the gallery viewable without an account would be valuable.
Banditoz··on Notion API importer, with Databases to Bases conversion bounty
Someone's given it a shot: https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-importer/pull/424
Banditoz··on Jiratui – A Textual UI for interacting with Atlassian Jira from your shell
Github's UI used to be usable, at least.
Banditoz··on Libre – An anonymous social experiment without likes, followers, or ads
No HTML sanitization?
Banditoz··on Auf Wiedersehen, GitHub
Gitea's interface feels nice to used compared to the UI of GitHub and Gitlab of today. It's mostly server-side rendered.
Banditoz··on Xfinity using WiFi signals in your house to detect motion
Is their network good, though? They try to keep my data in their network as long as possible affecting latency to certain places, which is significantly worse than what fiber providers in my area do.
Banditoz··on Discord Is Threatening to Shutdown BotGhost
Hmm, good point, but Discord can't control the security of a third party platform like this.

Not saying it's the right thing to do, but it seems to be their reasoning.

Banditoz··on Discord Is Threatening to Shutdown BotGhost
Playing devil's advocate a bit, if this service hosts a Discord bot you create for you, that means it uses the bot token, right? The service has to store and secure hundreds of thousands of tokens, if all of those get breached/leaked, an attacker can do a lot to a lot of Discord servers assuming it has the requisite permissions.

However, they do claim that Mee6 (the biggest Discord bot by # of servers, iirc) offers a similar feature but Discord is letting them slide?

Banditoz··on The Cost of Being Crawled: LLM Bots and Vercel Image API Pricing
Yeah, curious too.

Can't the `convert` CLI tool resize images? Can that not be used here instead?

Banditoz··on The "Take It Down" Act
The article says it passed the Senate.. does it have a chance to pass the House?
Banditoz··on Apple's Software Quality Crisis
I mean.. at least system settings are in one place on OSX instead of scattered between the control panel, new system settings thing, and a few other spots.
Banditoz··on Bench accounting services shutting down
Nitter also offers better UX for those who just want to read a Twitter thread and not interact with it. It's been like that even before the Musk acquisition.
Banditoz··on OpenAI: Sora
What are some of the open source video models?
Banditoz··on Internet Archive: Security breach alert
It says it's remote though, so doesn't seem too bad?
Banditoz··on Show HN: Infinity – Realistic AI characters that can speak
Why did you make a brand new account to comment this?
Banditoz··on MongoDB takes a swing at PostgreSQL after claiming wins against rival
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2F-DItXtZs
Banditoz··on Valve New Employee Handbook (2012) [pdf]
This is what's crazy to me. It feels like other PC game stores haven't caught up in feature parity to Steam from over 10 years ago.
Banditoz··on Hacking the largest airline and hotel rewards platform (2023)
Anyone know of other blogs similar to Sam Curry's web API exploitation stuff?
Banditoz··on Gitlab is reportedly up for sale
Gitea/Forgejo seem pretty snappy and lightweight (on the UI side at least. Reminds me of old GitHub before they went all in on clientside rendering)
Banditoz··on Jeremy Rowley resigns from DigiCert due to mass-revocation incident
> We also found that the bug in the code was inadvertently remediated when engineering completed a user-experience enhancement project that collapsed multiple random value generation microservices into a single service.

Interesting. What is the value of a microservice that generates random numbers over just using a language's SecureRandom equivalent?

Banditoz··on The Marshmallow Test does not reliably predict adult functioning
I don't know. Usually I see arxiv posted a lot here, and I can access those without issue.

If I do pay, do the authors of the paper get my money?

Banditoz··on The Marshmallow Test does not reliably predict adult functioning
I'm confused. How do you access the full text of the article? Why is it behind a $15 charge?
