Re:Anti-AI fonts are useless and harmful on Thursday August 20, 2026 @02:02PM (#49378029)
It's simply that a font won't solve anything. That concept is worst than security by obscurity, as it causes more problem and add more constraints than what it solves... for a very limited time until AI bots are adjusted to decode those fonts properly.

For your information, PhotoDNA is a CSAM related tool. I do not think that comment is appropriate.

Honest question. In which scenario do you care so much about the size of the DLL , these days ?

Uh, ads in HN comments now ?
I get the idea, the motivation behind it, but as an employee, the first time I get an AI-generated performance report on myself is the day I change company. Can't be bothered to offer a real, human experience when providing performance reviews ? Then I won't bother to work.

HR is one of the area where chatbots should NOT be reigning. It is literally named "Human Resources".

Did you miss the part about the GPU being stolen ?
Re:Message Deduplication with RabbitMQ Streams on Friday July 30, 2021 @03:38PM (#28011509)
I don't get this ... Why is it the broker's responsibility to make sure the publishers are not duplicating ? Rather than fixing the code and fix the root cause ?

With this feature, the producer still needs to implement a strictly increasing sequence value, make sure its state is persisted, and use that as the publishing ID.

What if you need to restore your DB after a crash, and need to reprocess data to catch up ? If you stored your publishing ID sequence in that DB, your "smart" broker will happily drop these messages ... !?

Unless there's something I don't understand, that sounds like a really bad "good idea".
