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 unacceptab

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

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 prio

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

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.

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 ave

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 argu

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&#

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 nev

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

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.

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 r

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 lar

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 th

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.

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 t
