galaxy_gas··on Amazon’s Ring to partner with Flock
They dont have any better to do. When I was living in south bay (nice suburb area) during short contract role the " nextdoor nanny state stay at home drunk soccer moms " would record out the front window, call the police in anyone POC, keep notes of what time you car leave and join

its like HOA mental illness. Different people had chased my amazon driver with a phone accusing them of being illegal, calling police for while I was cooking indian food... Ide rather have the crime in the city in contrast to this nonsense

I genuinely believe if I had dog at the time they would had poisoned it for barking once

galaxy_gas··on Read your way through Hà Nội
So many website that use custom font cannot render the diacritics. I hate to see the single letter font change constantly. Maybe this is related?
galaxy_gas··on What Is Yarnpkg.cn?
1.. There is mirror in China for most service. The rawgit gitcdn npm yarn maven all that. Because the network and GFW is performance really bad and oversold international lines. So they will mirror it locally or it's unusable

2. All .cn site has to link to gov cn in bottom. It does not mean they are related to government or affiliated with government. To publish website in China you require this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICP_license - a permit issued by the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) to permit China-based websites to operate in China. The ICP license numbers for Chinese websites can often be found on the bottom of the front webpage. All websites with their own domain name that operate inside China are required to obtain a license (whether hosted on a server in mainland China or provided into China via a CDN), and China-based Internet service providers are required to block the site if a license is not acquired

(This is from the wiki article, not a LLM)

galaxy_gas··on GifCities – The Geocities Animated GIF Search from Internet Archive
Ad, data collection, sale

You can't hotlink giphy and access a direct image send you to full page of ads. Same like imgur.

galaxy_gas··on I almost got hacked by a 'job interview'
You can download it from virustotal with the id in the blog (e2da104303a4e7f3bbdab6f1839f80593cdc8b6c9296648138bd2ee3cf7912d5) if you work for a vendor

Whole post reads like ai though.

Why do people do this.
galaxy_gas··on Using a laptop as an HDMI monitor for an SBC
I use Comet in remote field by plug the ethernet it expects to the laptop. Both will set up the link local IP and accessible in browser without internet

GLI Comet is much better from my experience.

This is the worst shilling I have ever seen.
galaxy_gas··on Decoding Netflix's AV1 Streams
probably a PM or TPM
galaxy_gas··on Ask HN: Can you uninstall Notion from macOS?
Applications are stored in /Applications and not Users/USER/Applications I though?
galaxy_gas··on Decoding Netflix's AV1 Streams
Taking screenshot of netflix on my device results in black square, I dont know if this applies on lower levels of Widevine but if it doesn't then the quality will be much lower as Netflix do not serve 720+ video unless there is protected DRM path
galaxy_gas··on Decoding Netflix's AV1 Streams
I wonder why there is 4 year gap there. Their English is not even bad ! Its better than mine and definitely does not need any kind of GPT copyediting
galaxy_gas··on Decoding Netflix's AV1 Streams
I would 100000% rather read the author's own writing even if English is their 10th language

Rather than this inflated slop that look like I am trying to reach word count in a paper and one sentence becomes 15 useless ones

Edit: This is not so much commentary on AI than it is the core of your post is a few tables. Just post the tables and one or two sentence of conclusion and that is all ! It is so tedious to read through dozens of paragraph of autogenerated unnecessary nonsense -- that contribute nothing of value to the data

galaxy_gas··on Ask HN: Where do YC websites come from?
Tailwind UI

Inter Font

galaxy_gas··on Show HN: FingerprinterJS – A tiny JavaScript library for browser fingerprints
the code seems like poorly generated ai with unnecessary comments in different languages.

there's no explanation for why certain actions or choices are made.

it doesn't make sense why phantomjs gets a score of 7 while chrome headless gets 8, or why phantomjs and selenium aren't considered headless browsers or automation tools. why the most common legitimate screen resolution is flagged as suspicious or why tools like curl or wget which download conten, are running javascript instead. they would be in a stack that checks ua server side, not in js

galaxy_gas··on Trump announces 100% tariff on branded or patented pharmaceuticals from Oct. 1
Not necessarily related to this but this applies to USA definition

Outside of USA the word tariffs does means prices. You internet provider will give you list of tariffs .. which plan you wish to realise -- your hosting plans page will be titled Tariffs often not Pricing or Plans

How is that even worth the packaging cost

galaxy_gas··on Yt-dlp: Upcoming new requirements for YouTube downloads
When I try it for a month, the worst part.. your entire download queue fails forever unless you manually remove hundreds of items one by one

There is no way to remove the stuck item if it's been pull from streaming library or you in country that -- such traveling etc -- does not have r ights to it. You simply cannot open the track to undownload it

galaxy_gas··on Feds say 100k-card farms could have killed cell towers in NYC near the UN
They are almost definitely either proxy, SMS verification or SMS spam

This is 10000% not to break the cell tower. It is proffessional bot farm for SMS verify (imagine its TIKTOK account, FB account, TWITTER account..)/spamming. They want cell tower up to be able to continue this activities.
