irtefa··on An aroma picker for the Le Nez du Vin game
Hey John! Do you have plans to refine or iterate on this design at all? What features would take this aroma picker to the next level?
irtefa··on The A.V. Club's AI-Generated Articles Are Copying Directly from IMDB
It seems like media execs are treating AI more as a cost-cutting tool than an enhancement. The tech just isn't advanced enough yet to fully replace human writing and editing. As a reader, I find these AI-generated articles pretty hollow. I'd rather wait longer between human-written pieces than get AI filler daily.
irtefa··on My Little MillionDollarHomepage Garden
I love this kind of internet archaeology. It's crazy to think how many sites like this have just been sitting untouched for years. What else is out there?
irtefa··on Career Magic Happens in the Office
Not a critique, but an observation. When remote work was "in", that's what all these publications were talking about. Now that there is a movement to get back everyone in the office, the same publications are pushing this new agenda.
irtefa··on Arm Holdings IPO Filing
Being involved in a lawsuit with their biggest customer (Qualcomm) is not a great look. If I were an investor, I would keep a close eye.
irtefa··on A blood factor can rejuvenate the aging brain
Remarkable that a single blood factor can have such a big impact on brain inflammation, plasticity, and cognition. Curious if PF4 levels naturally decline with age or if other factors cause the drop?
irtefa··on Bad Actors Are Joining the AI Revolution: Here’s What We’ve Found in the Wild
These communities are usually led by the most technically proficient members, who show off by taking ownership of competing servers, or even by sharing screenshots featuring information they’ve stolen from unsuspecting victims. They’re also actively seeking out other members based on their programming skills or potential to contribute to their campaigns.

"As an unintended consequence of these activities, the resilient open-source registries we rely on are facing an overburden of resources. Last month alone our security researchers confirmed as malicious a whooping 6,933 packages uploaded to the npm and PyPI registries.

We recently tracked the campaign of a Spanish-speaking group called EsqueleSquad which has uploaded more than 5,000 packages to PyPI. "

Holy shit this is scary. I think what's scarier is that for someone who's been using Python for over 7 years, this is not something I had to worry before.

Free marketing for YouTube Shorts and IG Reels.
irtefa··on Putting Down the Pen: Reflecting on Oryx’s Journey
"the act of writing feels repetitive, almost as if I've written every sentence before." - does this feel inevitable for most people writing online?
irtefa··on Cruise vehicle gets stuck in wet concrete while driving in San Francisco
It's not 100% perfect but I still get butterflies when I see a Cruise vehicle driving around on its own.
irtefa··on The Rise and Fall of Getting Things Done (2020)
My big takeaway was personal productivity is moot in organizations unless the organization adopts the same methods and processes to be productive.
irtefa··on The Rise and Fall of Getting Things Done (2020)
Thank you!
irtefa··on Ask HN: What is the best thing you read in 2022?
"Slight Edge" by Jeff Olson was pretty good. Lessons from the book helped me make progress towards my bigger goals every day. You don't need to read the entire book to get value.
irtefa··on Apple is becoming an ad company despite privacy claims
This is sadly the beginning of the end of Apple.

irtefa··on Cloudflare is blocking lookups for archive.is
It was discussed previously on this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19828317
irtefa··on Tell HN: Archive.is inaccessible via Cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1)
This has been a known issue for a while.

Unfortunately, Archive.is has to fix it from their nameservers and we cannot do anything from our side. You can ready more about it here: https://community.cloudflare.com/t/archive-is-error-1001/182...

How exactly would you do it in iOS? Would love to know!

irtefa··on Cloudflare launches 1.1.1.1 mobile app
Great question!

The app itself does NOT require any of these permissions.

However, Instabug, which is a third party library we use to help our users send bug reports or suggest improvements, requires these permissions to capture screenshots or screen recordings.

We only receive these when a user actively files a bug report or suggests an improvement to the app. Here is the documentation: https://docs.instabug.com/docs/android-integration

Furthermore, here is an excerpt from Instabug's docs: "Generally, the permission request doesn't appear unless the user attempts to use any of the features requiring the permission. The only exception, if you set the invocation event to be Screenshot. Then, the storage permission will be requested when the application launches."

We use these bug reports to improve the user experience and help build a better app.

The 1.1.1.1 app does not and will not collect any sort of private information.

Great question!

In most cases, your phone picks up the system resolver when it connects to a cellular or a WiFi network.

The system resolver collects data about what websites you are visiting by looking at the DNS queries your phone is making. This can lead to targeted advertising by your ISP.

1.1.1.1 is a privacy-first resolver, it does not collect any private information.

Haven't read such an easy to read technical article in a while. Kudos!
irtefa··on Cloudflare launches app development platform, announces $100M investment fund
There are developers (https://www.indiehackers.com/businesses/storemapper) who are making a significant amount of money from apps like these.

For some people 'copy pasting' is hard. Most people don't know how to code and don't want to deal with it.
