Re:Intel stock collapse worsens as $3.5T chip rout spreads on Tuesday November 03, 2026 @01:06AM (#50348627)
Do you think that would happen under Dems and Khan being reinstated as the FTC chair?
If this is the case, then I shudder for democracies that look up to the US for inspiration on how to run their country.
Re:eMudhra to Exit Global SSL/TLS Certificate Business on Thursday October 22, 2026 @10:36AM (#50196005)
Beware even the countries internet regulatory authority (NIC) issued rogue certificates in past, about time NIC's root certificates should be ejected once and for all.

Some websites still using the revoked roots: https://privatebin.net/?cbaaf3a2eae7a2ff#JE3iPaf8Mek91YbFymM...

Particularly concerning is India's UIDAI https://lea.uidai.gov.in/

That would damage public perception of the current Indian government, so the administration will do everything to keep the CA afloat.
Re:Verisign .com Domain Name Registry Consumer Class Action on Monday October 19, 2026 @02:25AM (#50149016)
Operators for gTLDs specifically .com .org .net serve large bases and operate under extensive contractual obligations, which can constrain arbitrary targeted enforcement. Than, some ccTLDs that have weaker mechanisms for appeal, leaving registrars and registrants exposed to discretionary decisions by the ccTLD operator or relevant national authorities
It's called malicious compliance

It's not only about being open but predictability and unforeseen rug pulling.

Quad9 has horrible latency and frequent query failures, I hope Mullvad encourages them to improve their routes
Re:Ask HN: Who is using MCP in production? on Friday September 04, 2026 @06:33AM (#49562761)
I used Mistral 3. It costed me literally pennies. My workflow was kinda rudimentary but it worked really well. I suggest take a look at this https://github.com/docling-project/docling as well.
Re:Ask HN: Who is using MCP in production? on Friday September 04, 2026 @04:02AM (#49561857)
I OCR'd my Chinese textbooks and made a stateless MCP that allows me to ground my Chinese language studies according to the textbook only. With this I can start a quiz, understand differences between words that have similar meanings knowing no extra grammar is fed when reviewing. I specifically use it with glm 5.3 as it is the most language specific LLM that understands nuances.

I'm surprised some banks don't provide a CSV export for statements, even if some do, they format it a XLSX file with images and meta descriptions in as header

Re:Accelerating GPT-5.6 Sol Ultrafast on Thursday August 13, 2026 @06:25PM (#49292571)
What stops the LLM not to iteratively think and expound upon before emitting the final tokens?
Re:Taxi drivers rarely die of Alzheimer's on Monday August 10, 2026 @05:15AM (#49241247)
At one point the amount of human induced accidents will increase since no human can account for sudden erratic brakes of a self driver, even though it predicted a correct incoming accident with another V2V connected car.
Re:How I use LLMs to learn complex topics on Monday August 10, 2026 @03:35AM (#49240516)
This made me realize all those benchmarks which unlike loosely acts as a person being awarded with a certificate after his doctorate is rather worthless, for you never know when it bullshit-ted.
Here's another sandbox that I found interesting: https://github.com/ashishb/amazing-sandbox
I just made my own devcontainer that I copy on any project and load whatever harness I want in that repo. Harnesss' config and auth are simply mounted from the host, so no setup required at all.

Unfortunately, Chromium is widespread and extremely optimised for any HW it lays its hand on.

All mobile roaming traffic is tunneled through your home country. The host network simply forwards everything to and from your provider at home.
