I may be naive, but how would binary transparency be effective if they ship an update to disable that on a target device? As long as there is a need for legitimate automatic software updates, the possibility of pwn updates will always exist

I think that one of the reasons they (frontier companies and the gov) will be putting so much effort into curtailing bugs and vulnerabilities is to limit the blast radius of future AI models. Imagine with the new Sol Ultrafast, they could h

I personally wonder if the writing (and coding) smells are being leveraged for watermarking/steganography. Like, if it's quirky but intentional; they're biding the time, leaving breadcrumbs so they can more effectively sift n

When I run the Waveguide Simulator demo on my Alienware M15 Ryzen Ed. R5 (has a RTX 3070; Windows 11 Pro, Chrome v129), I hear a distinct high pitched flutter noise emanating from my laptop. I thought it was from the speakers, but no, with

No question, just want to say Bun is awesome and thank you. (minor nit: release article says "Uint8Array.prototype.fromBase64()" when it's actually "Uint8Array.fromBase64()" per the code sample. Same for .fromHex)

Or they could keep an archive of the annotations and provide a process for the video owners to choose to have Google 'bake' them into the video permanently after they've been shut off from being used by mainstream YT interfac

> The name just automatically angers a significant portion of the population, no matter who the president happens to be. I think that pretty much speaks to how shamefully bad politics has gotten here in the US. I see a couple of comments

Previous discussion about this in 2016: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11911116 Last I checked you can always give Chrome a stronger hint not to autocomplete using something like this: document.querySelectorAll(

Yup. Obfusticating using a tool like http://www.jsfuck.com would get around the lack of quotations. If the result was too verbose, you can always handroll your own JS: {{constructor.constructor(constructor.name.constructor

Makes sense because htmlspecialchars() doesn't protect against malicious Vue template expressions, it only converts characters that are used to represent html tags, entities or attributes (<>"'&) IIRC. I think anoth

I made something very similar for fun a few years ago[0] and added it to a repository called You-Dont-Need-JavaScript[1]. CSS-only for this sort if thing is totally contrived, but making it still proved to be a fun little exercise. [0]: ht

Reminds me of a time I once wrote a script in Node to send an endless stream of bytes at a slow & steady pace to bots that were scanning for vulnerable endpoints. It would cause them to hang, preventing them from continuing on to their

I once made a CSS-only Todo List[1] that demonstrated chaining sibling selectors, using the :checked psuedo selector, CSS counters and some other things to "enhance" a Todo without using JS (technically JS is used in a Jade templa

It's tough to say that Chrome made the right call, as I enjoy being able to (in theory) rely on browsers aiming to be standard compliant. The standard is there for a reason, no? I noticed that the Chrome team also developed a feature c

I think that if they are remotely serious (being almost April 1st) I think I'd like to see them offer to bundle NFC stickers with each product purchase, so that I can place them near the product's point of use should I want to rep

This might also work: <form action="//api.formspree.com/user.smith/gmail.com"> Truthfully, base64 is probably better at deterring email harvesters.

A stab in the dark would be chips made from Graphene or IBM's Silicene, if I am to understand what you quoted.

I deal(t) with the same thing. I made it so my web server would try to stream a page that never ends, and some bots would stay connected for hours and hours. But over time they seem to have adapted. I've also noticed some of them used

I used to use http://help.dottoro.com/ when I was learning to program. I would recommend it if someone was looking for a good go-to doc. But for quick reminders (which is rare) I use generally MDN or read the official spec.

What if a different robots.txt is being served up for the real Googlebots? EDIT: Based on the comments in their robots.txt it appears that they are whitelisting certain robots. You would have to apply for your robot to crawl their site at

Shocking. </sarcasm> I saw this a mile away. Anyone who didn't call this should work on improving their judge of character. Snowden is a patriot.

I agree that there are some way-off-base topics on HN, but I don't mind the politics that are related to the hacker community. Such involves Aaron, Snowden, Manning, WikiLeaks, various legal and political talk on Startups, privacy righ

While I wouldn't express my vision for linux the exact way Linus does if I were in his position, but I actually agree with Linus' argument. Sharp shouldn't be trying to enforce her cultural bias on Linus; it is just the way h

How does 'lob.com' make sense for a "Cloud Printing for Developers" company? At least 'netprint' (some imaginary word that probably has to do with nets, networks or internet, and prints or printing) better conv

They could have considered a four letter domain and a two letter top level, if they had to have a length of 7 characters. Even so... 'netprint.io' anyone? Would make a bit more sense than 'lob.com'. If they did actually
