Interesting read, good to see some nuance in this space for once: not evil, can be used for evil, not good, can be used for good, but requires a lot of safeguards. What really got me is the concept of "Human Reserved" - man that i

So the attack surface would be a bit flip on a domain name? Or more specifically, a unicode conversion flip, where an attacker could redirect to a malicious IP? Impressive to have found such a vulnerability!

Is it common in these Launch HNs to have a "Live on Hacker News" on the website banner. What does that mean? The link doesn't even point to this thread, but only the main page. Perhaps this is common, but I just don't ge

2nd link doesn't work. That would be a neat tool, to find the original article and see how many levels of AI summary it has gone through, a game of AI telephone!

So, if this does help reduce the cost of tokens, why not go even further and shorten the syntax with specific keywords, symbols and patterns, to reduce the noise and only keep information, almost like...a programming language?

I built this very simple tool, inspired by Hacker News' simple yet convenient UI, to create a community around the latest freight developments (I run a last-mile delivery fleet in NYC). I'm mostly posting about NYC freight news, b

If a ping to a specific IP times out, I wouldn't say the IP is blocked. It could be that ICMP specifically is blocked, following some network rules on the firewall. This is pretty common in entreprise networks to not allow endpoint dis

So running a SQL query and returning GeoJSON? Sorry that didn't work - hopefully you can work on another system like this soon, with someone who actually understands the benefits of tiles!

I've found some waterways traffic data, but it seems to be previous day usage data, and not real-time usage or position. I'll dig to see if there is some info, as that would add some value to the dashboard for sure!
