Thanks for trying it. The vpn stuff is shaky right now, but the proxy stuff has been great - on a really small sample size.

My humble attempt to detect residential proxies while limiting false positives on things like CGNAT. So far, its pretty successful detecting SOAX, BrightData, and a custom proxy ap…

Prediction: AI ends humanity not via some super cool/scary/robopocalypse - but as a marketing stunt gone wrong when a Frontier LLM accidentally knocks out water/electric/gas by hac…

This is fun, but what does it prove other than a good tool used poorly produces bad results? The analogy du jour for me is describing AI as the iron man suit. If you are tony stark…

It feels like if he triggered a wipe - that is destruction of evidence; but if it auto-wiped he's fine. If it were a box of drugs and he triggers an incendiary device - he's in tro…

I take out your electric grid and blow up water treated facilities and natural gas terminals. Food rots, no water for hospitals, no heat in the dead of winter - arguably the virus …

1st place my head went. Realistically though, whats worse - this thing going rogue or OpenClaud breaking out of its container and shredding a nation's infrastructure like a platoon…

Preach! Dedicated Infrastructure > automation > ad hoc scripts > non deterministic llms from a dependability perspective alone. Using an LLM to do something that prettier could hav…

For whatever its worth I built this about a decade ago because I am a non academic who can't think in tableaus, but still wanted to solve optimization problems. I created a json li…

Maybe I'm not paying close enough attention (probably) - but I feel that China is providing a glimmer of hope that this (only the uber elite can get good AI assistance) isn't true,…

Brutal own goaling by the USA. I'm glad it happened, but the USA had a golden opportunity to subsidize domestic providers for 10 years and lease to China to discourage competition …

tldr; I wanted to see if I could make a QR Captcha (like reCaptcha did) that didn't rely on Google PLAY (like reCaptcha does). Inspiration here: [ https://news.ycombinator.com/item…

This also exists: https://abrahamjuliot.github.io/creepjs/ TBH, its never anything super exotic (though it helps) but simple stupid basic things like cookies that does 70% of the w…

its ease is also vastly inflated. If it was as simple as this site makes it out to be, companies like fingerprint.com don't exist.

Literally where my head was. Take every negation statement and append "...yet!"

The world isn't binary. People want to look for jobs and network. At the same time they don't want their data turned over and sold to the kind of people who scrape LinkedIn. Plus -…

Fingerprint (and its ilk) use a tiered identification system to identify you, with a decrease in confidence with each step down. They start with a supercookie approach (first-party…

Thanks! That's really cool - thanks for sharing!

Sorry about that...public now. So the whole selling point of this approach is that after coordination with other browsers - the server is completely out of the picture. All telemet…

I wanted to play an FPS with my kids. Every option required creating accounts, installing launchers, granting permissions, downloading companion apps — a 20-minute ordeal before an…

The API cost...ughhhhh I set $10 on fire the other day as I was running through some tests. Like old school arcade games "Please insert more ${money} to keep playing...". Local, sm…
