There isn't vitriol, or atleast I didn't mean it that way. The point I was trying to make is that I've seen malicious code like viruses and keyloggers and rootkits being distributed via github and they use the 'this is for education' as a cop-out when the rest of the repo makes it extremely obvious what the real intention is

I understand that this is to drive research and help security researchers in this case, but I personally think Github should take a harder stance against this kind of repo, education purposes or not - saying it is for educational purposes is definitely not going to stop someone (especially people who wouldn't know how to develop this level of rootkit on their own) from going and using it.

Also the specific details in README regarding 'make sure you randomize this or you'll be detected!' makes it feel even less like it is explicitly for educational purposes since you are providing users easy instructions on how to work around countermeasures this code.

One thing that is unclear to me from the article:

Is the idea that it will manufacture all of these chips and then both the 'factory' and the resulting materials will return from space, or that the factory would stay in orbit and send materials back?

Archive link as it seems the site is down: https://archive.is/afYvQ

In my experience, we've used playwright significantly for unit/integration tests combining it with react-testing-library to verify individual components and also whole (mocked, we used something else that I can't seem to remember for E2E tests) flows within that React application

This is just my personal experience, but even with the current UI, there can tend to be a learning curve with GIMP. Alot of it probably comes from figuring out where tools and functionality that are readily available upfront in other paint programs are hidden 2-3 menus deep in GIMP

Is anyone else having trouble loading the proxyman website? (Firefox, Windows 11) - it freezes the entire browser..

> no workaround

> IPv6 users that do not configure the system to accept router advertisement messages, are not affected.

Maybe I'm missing something but isnt that a workaround?

Out of curiosity, if you don't mind sharing, what is the sort of profit you see on that 126,000 as i'm assuming alot of that goes to paying the restaurants?

Aside from the security issue, it seems like an awful idea for a government (or governments, in this case) to say 'hey, you need to follow this standard for invoicing. But also, you have to pay to see the entire standard'.. almost feels like extortion a bit

They already have well over double the US solar output (US solar output is about 750 Twh according to this source, while China's is a bit over 2000 Twh) and their YoY solar increase is about 4x the US (600 Twh increase in China vs 150 Twh increase in the US)

They are also increasing coal usage, you are correct, however in the past 2 years, their solar output has increased significantly, to the point where it increased more than their coal output in 2024.

My point is that the comment you are quoting is actually technically correct, if you compare 2023 and 2024 in that graph for example, solar was the largest increase in output.

I think he should be mainly throwing it at the VST vendor, as opposed to the protection software, since the main issue in the article comes from the vst vendor protecting the installer but not the actual software (that said, they also show that the protection software is fairly trivial to hook and bypass)

This unfortunately wouldn't work quite as well in states where cars arent required to have a front facing license plate (like florida)

Question: Why go through the effort of removing most of the key throughout the article just to have it in a chunk of code in the article anyways? I'm not trying to throw shade here, I am legitimately curious about the reasoning

No offense to the OP (what you did is great - as someone who had to pick up expo/RN on the fly for my newest job, it can be a bit annoying, and that is before all of the compliance nightmares associated with push provisioning) but the title does seem a bit disingenuous - it is phrased to make it sound like the app he built specifically is processing $6M/Month, where it is actually the platform that the app was built for that is

Besides this being spam, the linked leaderboard is pre-chatgpt, it doesnt care about comments made now

The combination of the moving goalposts for donations (they changed it from $1000 goal to $4000 after hitting their goal[0]) and the fact that they have have a large donation like this pending but simply haven't completed the paperwork kind of rubs me the wrong way a little bit.

Perhaps I'm in the minority here, but I feel like it would be much more useful to link to an article instead of a video in order to be able to digest and compare the information to other sources.

I understand news platforms use videos as an engagement method, but I'm not sure if in this case it is more productive for causing useful discussion

Never say never. All it takes is one case of the encrypted data being outside a secure setting due to the 'human' factor, and then this mandated backdoor can be used to decrypt it.

Of course, they won't ever mandate a backdoor be added in their encryption system

Atleast for the photo/image editing part, GIMP is FOSS and, while it definitely has a learning curve compared to some other software, does a pretty reasonable job

If he isn't a con man, then please explain promising Level 5 (full self-driving with no supervision) autonomous driving repeatedly[0] when they've still only ever gotten to level 2 (requiring full supervision of the self-driving) autonomous driving? [1]

That is pretty black-and-white him lying to people to get them to purchase the vehicles and a subscription for FSD.

What platform are you talking about in this case?

If anyone here is a conman, it is Musk - given that he literally had people pay a subscription for something that never materialized, repeatedly promising 'oh it'll be here soon' - that is literally the textbook definition of a conman - 'a person who tricks other people in order to get their money'[0]

I can load it fine, and it loads quickly.. I'd be very surprised if HN could hug the mlb website to death, considering it probably sees significantly more traffic than we'd end up causing them, especially with an ALCS game going on right now

This is decidedly not a 'new' repo but shows up there anyways: https://github.com/mdn/mdn/

Also, design sidenote: the purple font that the navigation bar takes when an option is highlighted makes it next to impossible to read against the dark gray background

The issue is that if you have to make more requests overall, there is a non-negligible rtt for each of those requests, which on slow connections can add up very fast

I'm assuming you don't play many games with anticheat though since they'd flag it running in a VM

Maybe it is because I'm a bit too deep in the React ecosystem at this point, but once you start trying to do any reasonably complex task, this seems like it would be significantly harder to reason about.

Also, unless I'm misunderstanding it, this revolves a lot around the backend returning HTML to do backend-as-frontend, which given my previous experiences with the concept, I wouldn't want to touch with a 10ft pole. When you consider users with extremely bad internet connections (there are still people on dsl/older satellite/2G), having to make more requests to the backend that return larger blobs of html (as opposed to fewer requests that return JSON when it is relevant) will result in a significantly more degraded user experience

I don't have a super deep understanding of the underlying algorithms involved, but going off the demo and that page, is this mainly a model for image related tasks, or could it also be trained to do things like what GPT/Claude/etc does (chat conversations)?
