So what is the alternative? It took me a while to get around the data schema / modelling that a database like Cassandra imposed, but when it finally clicked it really clicked for me, so much so that I wish I could have the same perform

Legitimate file hosting services present the biggest total volume of newly discovered phishing pages / unique hostnames. Another (similar) angle is using unrelated legitimate domains which are compromised (think insecure Wordpress) to

Can we please stop posting here every time Claude or OpenAI are down? These are not critical services like AWS / S3 where downtime means that your application is offline. Nothing is easier than switching to another provider, mid-sessio

Cloudflare is really good at launching features that facility low-friction deployment of malicious content (such as phishing) on the Internet, piggybacking on their hosting reputation and the fact that you can't easily block their ASN

This is gonna be amazing for phishing, like most of the features Cloudflare offers (free Turnstile for fresh accounts, CF tunnels, pages.dev, r2.dev).

It is smart enough that I use for all my coding tasks, and a lot of other mundane tasks. It is probably not smart enough for "design this whole architecture of this complex system from scratch, make no mistakes", but that is not s

Depends on what you mean by "local". On your Macbook, large dense models like Qwen 3.6 27B will be slow, sure. On a local workstation with a dedicated RTX card you can get > 100 tps, which is more than good enough to work with

No KV cache quant, context length 50% of original, MTP absolutely. These are the relevant cmdline attributes. Getting around 100t/s with this setup, even when watt-limited to 450W. --temp 0.6 --top-p 0.95 --top-k 20 --min-p 0.00 --

Same here, I use Qwen 3.6 27b (Q6 quant) with llama.cpp on an RTX 5090 using the pi agent exclusively now. The fact that it's local means that I never have to think about token pricing, quotas, time of day, or data sensitivity. I have

Local AI models are already more than capable enough writing code that surpasses the ability of any bad or even mediocre engineer. That is not something we need to worry about. In a way, this is less of a cost issue than the fact that some&

Serious question: Who actually builds stuff on Cloudflare workers? I mean large software projects / services, and not just side projects where the ability to scale-to-zero is perhaps more important than the scale-to-infinity direction.

I just saw the headline fly by yesterday and thought that this was just another dumb bug in what is the slow decline of GitHub. To find out today that this was very much intentional is even worse.

This is amazing, thank you for launching it. I know this webapp itself will make me more likely to look at raw photos on my Fuji once again.

by heipei 6mo ago
Like the native Fujifilm software, this does not do raw conversion itself. It uses the processor in the camera to do the conversion.

Fair enough, I just loaded some pages and some of them are even bigger than 2MB. But then again those static resources would be cached client-side. So unless you have 450 million unique visitors who only ever go to one URL on your site, you

Yes, and I didn't mean to imply that a single VPS is all you needed. But I wanted to put things into perspective for the other posters who claimed that you couldn't possibly serve a site like this from a single machine, purely in

The post said 450 million pageviews, likely since November. If we make very generous assumptions and assume that each pageview is a megabyte (very generous based on my own experience scanning billions of websites), then that's 450TB to

Yes, the wildcard cert, but not the actual hostname under that wildcard.

Thank you for sharing, this looks really cool. The simplicity of setting this up and operating it reminds me a lot of nsq which received a lot less publicity than it should have.

I still don't get how folks can hype Postgres with every second post on HN, yet there is no simple batteries-included way to run a HA Postgres cluster with automatic failover like you can do with MongoDB. I'm genuinely curious how

The client is supposed to monitor availability themselves, that is how these contracts work.

I'd rather he'd still be working on Nomad to be honest, but Ghostty is a good consolation prize ;)

Obligatory reminder that "GPU utilisation" as a percentage is meaningless metric and does not tell you how well your GPU is utilised. Does not change the usefulness of this dashboard, just wanted to point it out.

Yeah, that was the first thing I checked as well. Being suited for small / tiny files is a great property of the SeaweedFS system.

Sounds complicated. I just use autossh from the CLI and it reconnects if my laptop (or the remote machine) wakes up again.

If you want to see what the phishing site (npmjs[.]help) looks like: https://urlscan.io/result/01992a3e-4f8c-72bb-90a9-c13826f2d8... - Was still up and running 2 hours ago.

I agree, and I don't get where the claims that ES is hard to operate originate from. Yeah, if you allow arbitrary aggregations that exceed the heap space, or if you allow expensive queries that effectively iterate over everything you&#

ScyllaDB discontinued it's free and open source version, so I personally wouldn't build anything new on it.

Counterpoint: I once wrote a paper on accelerating blockciphers (AES et al) using CUDA and while doing so I realised that most (if not all) previous academic work which had claimed incredible speedups had done so by benchmarking exclusively
