CubsFan1060on Time-Series Anomaly Detection: A Decade Review

I'm still playing around with this one: https://grafana.com/blog/2024/10/03/how-to-use-prometheus-to... (there's a github repo for it).

So far, it's not terrible, but has some pretty big flaws.

CubsFan1060on Ads chew through half of mobile data

1Blocker works quite well as well.

CubsFan1060on Perplexity got ads

Is the assistant similar to perplexity? Or something different?

CubsFan1060on MitmProxy2Swagger: Automagically reverse-engineer REST APIs

https://docs.mitmproxy.org/stable/overview-getting-started/#...

Seems like the proxy handles all the SSL, and likely strips any SSL Specific headers, etc..

But also, many, many, many companies do this exact thing. Just one example: https://knowledgebase.paloaltonetworks.com/KCSArticleDetail?...

CubsFan1060on Google's Results Are Infested, Open AI Is Using Their Playbook from the 2000s

Have you looked into Kagi? I'm very happy with it.

CubsFan1060on Ask HN: Predictions for 2025?

A search for CSGO skin betting brings up a ton of sites, but I still have no idea what it is. Can you explain it? I don't really understand what is being bet on there. (Also, I'm slightly scared of the answer)

CubsFan1060on Ask HN: Predictions for 2025?

There are even more restrictions aimed at stopping kids using social media. Restrictions on phone use in schools, who can sign up for social media, etc..

Additionally, that it'll eventually prove to be a wild success, with significant benefit to kids.

On the darker side, the same technologies and restrictions will be applied in various ways to adults (similar to the porn verification laws), which will have significantly more negative effects.

CubsFan1060on Apple must ensure interoperability of iPhone with rivals, says EU

Tell me this -- whatever the next technology is, why would a business spend the time or money to develop it?

Why would Apple, Google, or any of the EU Phone OS developers bother creating a new feature that they will immediately be forced to allow everyone to use?

CubsFan1060on Electric (Postgres sync engine) beta release

I may be misunderstanding, but does this boil down to essentially a partial read replica?

CubsFan1060on VictoriaLogs: A Grafana Dashboard for AWS VPC Flow Logs – Migrating from Grafan

Are there any stats including price? Say something like a TB of logs a day, retention for a year? Obviously the older they get, the less likely they are to ever be looked at.

CubsFan1060on Stephen King to shut down his 3 radio stations in Maine

I can't back this up with data, so this is just my opinion.

Economies of scale are better in almost every way, if the benefits of economies of scale are somewhat evenly distributed, and that the benefits don't come with significant negatives somewhere else.

However, most of the time, the majority of the benefits of economies of scale tend to go to the wealthy. The small amount of benefits that do go to consumers/people make them think that they are the beneficiaries, and often the societal cost is masked.

CubsFan1060on Stephen King to shut down his 3 radio stations in Maine

> When it comes down to it, most people would rather save money and pay less than shop at small businesses.

You hit the nail on the head exactly here. People are very good at maximizing their short term situation, even at the detriment to their community. A good example is people who travel to nearby cities to buy things because they have lower taxes. They don't seem to understand that (for the most part), taxes in their own city benefit their city. Taxes they pay to a neighboring city don't benefit them or their neighbors.

CubsFan1060on Amazon S3 Adds Put-If-Match (Compare-and-Swap)

Thanks! Do they mention when the comparison is done? Is it before, after, or during an upload? (For instance, if I have a 4tb file in a multi part upload, would I only know it would fail as soon as the whole file is uploaded?)

CubsFan1060on Amazon S3 Adds Put-If-Match (Compare-and-Swap)

I feel dumb for asking this, but can someone explain why this is such a big deal? I’m not quite sure I am grokking it yet.

CubsFan1060on Gross Apple Marketing

As someone whose watch called 911 for me when I was in an accident, and who got a call when my mother fell, fear or not there are real, tangible benefits that probably can't be overstated.

CubsFan1060on Apple Intelligence is available today on iPhone, iPad, and Mac

FWIW, the more major things aren't included yet. Image generation, emoji, Siri improvements haven't arrived yet.

CubsFan1060on Apple introduces iPad mini built for Apple Intelligence

Using Goodnotes (because it has pretty good search) and https://shop.astropad.com/products/rock-paper-pencil, made it a much more enjoyable experience for me.

Of course, I'm also pretty bad at taking notes in general, so I don't use it nearly as much as I should.

CubsFan1060on Google threatened with being broken up by US

I think it's unclear what the results would be. For instance, and I honestly don't know, if gmail was split out would it still be able to be free? Or would they start charging for it?

CubsFan1060on Canvas is a new way to write and code with ChatGPT

How/where were you notified that you got it?

CubsFan1060on OpenAI rolls out Advanced Voice Mode with more voices and a new look

I dunno, it's a single button press on my phone to access it. That seems plenty fine to me.

CubsFan1060on Show HN: Oodle – serverless, fully-managed, drop-in replacement for Prometheus

Where do you keep the code?

Found it: https://github.com/oodle-ai/grafana

Why do this instead of just build a data source?

Edit: Not to be that guy (but I'm about to be that guy). You have links to grafana.com (which, is your competitor), all over the source in your page. This also lists the version as 11.1.0, which was released 6-21.

All of the versions in your fork repo mention 11.0.0-pre. Did I find the wrong repo, or are you using code that you haven't published?

The reason I mostly care is that this is the sort of reason that good open source projects get closed down, and that makes me a bit sad.

CubsFan1060on Show HN: Oodle – serverless, fully-managed, drop-in replacement for Prometheus

The UI feels _very_ similar to Grafana. Even the dashboard folders look exactly the same to me. I would have thought that Grafana being AGPL woudl specifically forbid this?

Edit: Or maybe the AGPL just requires releasing any code you change? I could be confused.

CubsFan1060on CrowdStrike Update: Windows Bluescreen and Boot Loops

The only thing I can think of is they were trying to defend from a very severe threat very quickly. But... it seems like if they tested this on one machine they'd have found it.

CubsFan1060on CrowdStrike Update: Windows Bluescreen and Boot Loops

Correct. Many just end up in an endless loop and never actually boot.

It's about as bad as it gets.

CubsFan1060on Brave launches Search Ads in key markets after successful test phase

I really am hoping that Orion is a thing that works out.

CubsFan1060on Apple M4 benchmarks suggest it is the new single-core performance champ

I think the theory is that there is going to be a large on-device AI push at WWDC. And iPads generally have a very long refresh cycle. In order for iPads to participate, they needed the M4's.

CubsFan1060on Apple must open iPadOS to sideloading within 6 months, EU says

1Blocker works amazing for me.

Another option here, though it looks like releases have slowed considerably. https://github.com/wtfutil/wtf
