Here is a link to Lee Robinson saying they will do better to be more transparent with future releases.
> Agree with the feedback we should have mentioned the base up front, we will do that for the next model!
like a precursor to reddit's own API pricing changes that made it hard for 3rd party clients to compete.
The saving grace with these API wrappers is that local models being a thing can still let them hedge against the underlying AI labs eating up their stack.
Good reminder to use a password manager as well (as it would also catch the 'npnjs' typo squatted domain too).
Similar incident happened to the HIBP guy who mentioned ignoring the password manager safeguards due to being half asleep while on the plane.
Also keep in mind you can disable install scripts in npm from running (if you happen to not do your development in an isolated environment) via configuring your .npmrc with
> ignore-scripts=true
Stay safe out there
Do you have an example of this as it is against ICANN's rules IIRC.
The only instances I have seen about this were the posts here on HN when someone didn't read the registration price being at a discount compared to the renewal price thereafter.
If there is of course a legitimate instance of reclassification into a premium domain after the fact, you have a big case on your hands.
Not necessarily, you might be thinking of malapropisms but yes probably a closer word would be the general term: protologism.
Another commenter added some useful info on the evocative alteration of metaphors [2]
Might as well create a crawler bot on github and slurp up all the GPL/AGPL for your new AI-coding startup, iterate fast, make profit, then pay a pittance in legal fees and a small "We're sorry".
Last time this was brought up it was just referencing the fact both "git" and "dolt" refer to variations of calling someone a dimwit.
It's like if you come across a project called "dunce" that is "git for X" or whatever tagline you imagine.
For context this discussion from 2 years ago probably might be worth reading[1]
> and if the spirit of HN is to judge without facts - then I apologize.
Although snarky, I am sure you would appreciate if HN doesn't devolve into sensationalist titles such as: "PHP sucks" ad nauseam since there are plenty of social media networks that get flooded with titles like that already.
Just as we (the audience) in good faith read and judge based off of the merits of the article's content - one could also argue that an author should treat the audience with similar courtesy of not needing to:
> misleading (purposely, because it attracts interest)
Not saying this applies to this article since in my subjective view I didn't find the title misleading or egregious.
You might also be interested in seeing the recent edit history of titles on HN
I am neutral to this conversation but thought you might not want to justify this point as it is against the spirit of HN. Specifically in the guidelines:
> Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.
Which would give the submitter permission to change the title to something more substantive.

There are some 'open-back' and 'open-ear' headphones that let you hear your environment passively.
Others that have more active environment passthrough such as Ambient Sound from Samsung, also exist.
This might be a useful gift for a cyclist or jogger that needs situational awareness.
> Please contact sales for pricing details.
It is in the preview stage so perhaps that's why.
But as for the whole "3 days before he bought the shares" - He's been accumulating for far longer than that and even the CEO of Twitter mentioned they were in talks with Elon about being on the board "in recent weeks" [1]
With that said, yes it may be manufactured coincidence mostly driven by the new CEO change and not by Elon buying shares

Perhaps some folks over at /r/DataHoarder [0] might have something?
Might want to start with their sister sub /r/DHExchange [1] depending on how the main mods would view this situation.
Wouldn't that be classified as spammy ads from a valid message (when done using dark patterns with no one-click unsubscribe option)?
When you say "outperform most domestic US groups", are you normalising for the same skillset and education levels?
Perhaps a source to accompany your statement will help shed some light.
Here's a screenshot for your convenience [1]
I agree with you that I prefer to get straight to the point, but this pet-peeve tangent doesn't seem to be a productive discussion of the actual merits of the tooling.
Conversely, it will also be great for any possible sideloaded app to also have the system give the user that same choice.
Now if one side starts to impose their choices on the other is when we start having a problem.
A friendly correction of a non-standard word does not deserve derision.
Having an open source and self-hsotable alternative (that also has a SaaS equivalent if you so choose) seems to be the more prudent choice.
> GPL licensing exception
If you instead replaced "exception" with a warranty disclaimer then your intent would've been more clear in your original post.
Alliteration especially when paired with "The rule of 3" is an easy example of a technique you can use to disseminate a memorable message to most people.
Is it useful when writing code? Probably not, but it can help your company when you do your fundraising or pitch to investors.
Over recent years Facebook has been clamping down with those same sort of messages (sometimes it will appear after a few days or weeks for people I know) and for better or worse the main fix was having a picture with a face on a brand new account.
Older accounts don't have this problem though.
It's a similar tactic to how in recent years twitter lets you sign up without a mobile number but after some time you will suspiciously get your account locked until you "verify" with a mobile number.
Here is dang's comment about that topic/meme [1]
> So instead, we ran the same tests (echoing headers and measuring TTFB via Catchpoint) against our own platform
Who's to say that the performance of the services won't coincidentally perform better after you've given your request to test?
I am sure they might mention some legalese of "avoiding putting arduous strain on the services which may cause disruption to our other users" as a justification, but that PR speak won't fly with me since there is a separate section that already references that.
I say this as a big fan of Cloudflare and I am sure they don't need to use such underhanded tactics to make their services look good.
What would be my preferred VPN/Mail/Payment/Storage/Encryption tools?
The one that has been scrutinized by TLA to catch these groups. On a long enough time scale, it can expose if they truly are "no logs", "fully encrypted", "privacy-conscious" or if it's just marketing buzzwords when they actually face a warrant.
