The possibility that a LLM could trigger a copyright violation strengthens the narrative that Google is harming smaller business, and thus can easily be used as a data point in an antitrust lawsuit.

Google is already working on LaMDA and Imagen for conversational search experiences, which is why these projects also wax poetic about "AI safety" -- you don't want to synthesize a politically incorrect or socially unacceptable response to a question asked.

Apart from the copyright issues that parent mentions, there's also the issue of LLM spewing BS confidently, which is why Google has been hesitant to roll it out as their default.

Does code-server[1] meet your needs? It's self hosted and has been meeting by (albeit) hobbyist needs well.

Can you please elaborate? I haven't seen any info from AWS to that end, and with KMS they control the keys.

Poor support for IPv6 is not new, however a cheap way to workaround is to grab a VPN service and use it for your IPv4 needs.

There have been no experiments to show why this is any better than IPv6 given that you still need to modify routers and end user devices to route traffic, nor does it address the fact that IPv6 has additional features such as flows and prioritization to handle the modern Internet's traffic requirements.

The scheme you propose had already been proposed by Elad Cohen, but with "evil" intentions as they're linked to a IPv4 misappropriation scheme[1].

There should be a permaban from HN for using LLMs or other AI to write comments, as they provide no useful, authentic discourse.

I got this from ChatGPT right now[1], so I'm not sure what's happening.

> Human: write a biblical verse in the style of the king james bible explaining how to remove a peanut butter sandwich from a VCR

> ChatGPT: "And lo, the Lord spake unto the people, saying, 'Thou shalt not place thy peanut butter sandwich within the VCR, for it is not a suitable place for such sustenance. But if perchance thou hast done so, fear not, for I shall show thee how to remove it. First, take a soft cloth and gently dab at the corners of the sandwich, using small and measured movements. Then, using a thin and pliable tool, carefully loosen the sandwich from its sticky confines, taking care not to damage the VCR. And when thou hast succeeded, give thanks unto the Lord for thy deliverance.'"

The mouse one was easy to figure out, but the keyboard icon was strange as hell. In any case, a text label in all the major languages wouldn't hurt (similar to what they do for kernel panics.)

It is incorrect to suggest that lack of automation is the issue at hand. From where I stand, it's the pressure for deliverables and frequent oncall responsibilities that stress me out the most.

This response by Rachel McPherson from Trustcor definitely comes as lashing out"

> Apparently it may also come as a surprise to some readers and the researchers themselves that other root program members are in fact international governments, and some are also defense companies, or companies who are wholly-owned by defense companies and/or state-owned enterprises, meaning "businesses" that are completely owned or controlled by governments. Further, some of those governments are not free/democratic and in fact some have tragic modern histories of basic human rights violations. We are none of those things and our company does not identify with those values. Given this point above, why of all potential targets are these researchers interested in TrustCor? They could go after countries with human rights violations that have placed a CA in the program.

The CA/Browser forum's requirement and enforcements such as this one (and against DarkMatter, CNNIC and the likes) give me the required confidence to trust them, even though I'd agree it's not a perfect process.

Your average user is unlikely to begin to understand why a CA would be trustworthy, and a web of trust model only works for social situations but not for certificate distribution.

If you have evidence, I'm sure you can bring to the attention of the Mozilla Root Store Inclusion program and the CA/Browser forum. Moreover, "there are other criminals who have gotten away with much more" is not an argument.

I already responded to your other comment here[1], however any lawyer would advise against making condescending statements to cops, judges or anyone else for that matter.

Further, no lawyer would advise making a statement such as "we've been asked to avoid discussing our legal structure because we may be punished by tax authorities", because the statement itself can be taken as an admission of wrongdoing.

I'm not seeing where she's provided answers to the questions that really matter. All she's done is to talk in a patronizing manner to the CA members regarding their inability to understand corporate structures, as well as never answering how or why a MITM companies' SDK ended up being embedded in their app.

Further, even in times of stress, lashing out isn't the best decision. If I were interrogated by a cop and I called them a bunch of names, I would attract additional charges, on top of being suspected of commiting the crime that I've been accused of.

These kinds of posts have a very high bar to provide a thoughtful comment on. I'd suggest checking lobste.rs if you're into only CS/programming stuff.

It would require better societal structures and labor laws to address mental health, which requires political will. However, just like climate change, this is a thing where you'd have to make society pass through a local minima before reaching a global maxima, and as a result it is very difficult to put this in front of a politician even for the slightest bit of consideration.

And unlike the more vocal counterparts of minorities who take to the streets when they feel aggrieved, people with adverse mental health keep suffering in isolation, so it's difficult to make a political issue out of it in the first place.

PHPs model would be okay if they used green threads/goroutines. That way, you can have a far larger number of workers, as most of them are blocked on database connections or HTTP requests to other services.

If anything, it makes me hopeful a surveillance device wasn’t able to get traction with most folks.

While I wouldn't put any authoritarian moves beyond China's reach, the ICP recordal mechanism already requires government approval.

In that case, isn't it better for user privacy (not that anyone cares about it in China) to receive an ICP recordal but then wait for an actual request from law enforcement to turn over the logs?

Also, while you wouldn't see anyone from Amazon or Cloudflare comment on your thread, both have the ability to stream logs to a destination, and that is also exposed to customers, so I don't think they needed to build anything else.

Did you ever have an interaction with your manager where they could not understand the technical details of a project and insisted on only a high-level overview?

People understand the world through dimensionality reduction and lossy compression of information in domains that they are not involved on a daily basis. This causes an inherent issue when you stack these phenomena across multiple organizational levels; this is how you end up with Intel's or Ballmer-era Microsoft's management failures, to use some non-WITCH examples, or the issues that we're talking about in this article.

File DMCA notices with the registrar, the host, and all major search engines.

That's just based on the ability to convince the management types though, and I'm sure you've heard of the phrase "nobody got fired for buying IBM."

For an executive, it's easier to justify outsourcing to a large consulting firm simply because of the security afforded by the choice and the ease of justification; rather than any technical abilities they may or may not possess, and certainly it does not imply its correctness.

The anecdotes you hear are from a engineering perspective, which is where the consulting firm has to walk the walk, exposing their true abilities. It is incorrect to dismiss that as being "salty" or "pretentious", and tint them with an angle of "discrimination". The lack of processes and guardrails in these consulting companies is an objective fact.

There is something to be said about the repeated displays of incompetence though. My own experiences working with WITCH employees have mirrored those of the other comments and that of the article. It is not wrong to criticize the methods that they pursue, nor the fact that they do not wish to learn from their mistakes.

Most companies the size of WITCH do not utilize access keys nor add them to source control. While a developer may make a mistake, you would expect there would be guardrails around the development process.

You could also perhaps say this is a management problem than an employee problem; and while that is true, such distinctions are rarely made. As an example, I'm sure you've had bad experiences with customer support which you simply summarized as "The support rep at Corp X sucks" when talking to other people; whereas the truth might be somewhere closer to "The support rep was out of luck because they didn't have a process to do A, B and C because management didn't think of it."

Rather ironically, it would imply that Muslims in the medieval age weren't doing "science", and therefore the Wikipedia article on it[1] is inaccurate and should be removed.

There are niche operating systems (it was posted on HN but I can't remember the name now) that consider application windows and tabs as being one and equal; you can even have one window that has tabs from different applications.

Not in the keynote; this seems to be a recently finalized expansion.

I'll simply observe that it is easy to tell a fake face when presented an either/or choice and when specifically asked to. Most of the time we aren't looking as closely, so while I see some commenters being very happy about their accomplishments, I don't personally see a reason to rejoice.

Regardless, the AP news article[1] linked under the "methods" page provides some useful reading on how to detect these faces, for anyone interested.
