@dang can you update the domain extraction logic for hn titles to include the 3rd level domain for .name domains? It's a little too poetically unfortunate that HN lists the domain on this article as `fraser.name`


Sure. We have this for countries, like "example.co.uk", so I made "name" be a country and it...just works (maybe).

You only get a first name and a last name and a .name though. You can't be robert.louis.stevenson.name - just louis.stevenson.name.

(Incidentally, this was a Claude suggestion. The change only took a couple minutes but figuring out what mechanism in the code could do this would have taken me a lot longer.)


While we have you here - I've seen this discussion multiple times - does @dang "do" anything to get your attention, or did you just happen to see it because you were scanning the comments manually, and therefore email is better for letting you know something?


We don't monitor @dang. We only monitor emails. Someone emailed me in this case.


thanks!


I'm confused... The introduction allows twists of 60 degrees, but the explanation seems to switch to assuming 180 degree twists.

What am I missing?

edit: ah, I missed an "at least" at the beginning. He shows god's number is *at least* 27 (I misread this as meaning exactly 27). And he does this by showing god's number for the uncolored flat cube is 27. The uncolored flat cube happens to be equivalent to the colored cube with 180 degree twists.

Though... given that, the colors like a bit of an unnecessary red herring. Just a literary bridge I suppose? From his amusing introduction about a magic schoolbus running over rubik's cubes?


180 degree was for Rubik’s cube, not this flat cube.


+1 I use this all the time and can't live without it


Your own descriptive comment got downvoted and the only other comment I see is bashing you.

It seems you rub people the wrong way, but so far I'm scratching my head as to why you're receiving this degree of hate. Is this common for you? Does someone have a vendetta against you?


I think you’re way off. Hate is absurd, I don’t even know him. He’s automatically being downvoted for hyping his own product on HN, although he’s certainly not plugging it too hard.



Yes, without a fender my rear wheel throws mud all over my back. This is not the right shape to serve as a mud shield


It’s directly above the wheel. I just use an ass saver and while that’s way inferior to your setup, it reduces the volume thrown up a lot.


wait, what was the sound from the industrial metalworking factory like?


It was likely quieter on average and likely not working during the night.

BTW, I grew up a few blocks away from a steel foundry, and it typically was emitting a low humming noise. It faded into the background and was not a problem. We could hear loud clangs from time to time, but not at night.


Presumably much less- the datacenter was apparently not that disruptive until they tore down the trees between it and the homes. The manufacturing facility may not have been 24/7 either


It likely didn't have the power requirements either. I'm just guessing here, but that sounds a lot like turbine whine. (I've heard them elsewhere, not to mention been around plenty of aircraft) My guess is that they brought one on site like they've done to other facilities to provide on-site power where the local grid isn't sufficient.

The pledge by their CEO to shut down crypto-mining equiptment feels like a deflection to me, because I don't think that's the source of the noise. It's the turbine generator, and switching to AI I don't think will change the power requirements any. We'll see I suppose.


Doesn't curl still validate ssl certificates? So long as I'm curling an https url from a trusted domain, don't I still have a chain of trust?


Curl does verify certificates [1]. That does confirm that your connection is to the right server, but it does not confirm that the files were unmodified.

SSL/TLS/HTTPS is more about encrypting the traffic and ensuring that there was no tampering with the file between you and the server. The steps that I describe are more about ensuring that there was no tampering between you and the original source. Those are two separate problems. If you just rely on HTTPS, somebody can replace the file on the server with a modified version, and you would not know.

But where do you get the checksum from? I realize in some cases you are downloading from a mirror (thus as long as you trust the source of the checksum, that is quite useful) - but if it is from the same host - then you are just comparing against the same webserver.


You raise a good point. This is why people sign the checksums. The signature confirms that authenticity of the checksums. That somewhat moves the goalpost, though, since it then depends on where you got the source's public key, but it is still a more secure practice overall. The advantage of having the public key is that you only need to get it once and you can check many downloads later.

It is also possible to have a signed file that you can use to check the authenticity of a downloaded file directly without having to use checksums. Rust [1] does it that way for its other installation methods.

If you're training this on your own timing patterns, do you worry that eventually captchas will pick up on this and you yourself will no longer be able to prove you are a human?


Not particularly. I'm not yet convinced people's mouse movements are unique enough to our identity that they're useful as a fingerprint, whereas it's very easy to classify whether something looks bezier or looks human.

Eventually I'm hoping to collect enough data here to train a biased decoding model, so you could input some randomized personality vector (which implicitly encodes slow movement, jerky motion, trackpad, mouse, etc) and have that impact the RNN generation. So in theory there would be infinite combinations from the larger subspace we're sampling from.


I think the way to do it is to think of this as your own browser that can also be used by agents (with granular permissions). I use the browser for 5h today and my patterns then inform another 12h of agent use


Try from inside the signal app itself instead of system settings? On android Signal has an option at hamburger menu > Settings > Notifications > Notifications (toggle switch)

Oh... hmm, two toggles actually. One at Settings > Notifications > Calls > Notifications toggle, and the other at Settings > Notifications > Messages > Notifications toggle
