How much of this is AI?

I agree with this assessment but for many applications it's a viable approach, until the attacker goes off and writes their own shader to solve the PoW. We go to back to threat mod…

So this is a basically a shill advertisement ending in "Your AI Agents can avoid captchas if you pay us." The last example is a false narrative, that captchas will only happen if t…

Until you scale past one machine…

This sure sounds like a marketer spending far too many words crying that they've lost surveillance on their customers. Boo hoo, don't care.

One other thing to add to the story is that the merchants can’t select what level of security they want from the credit card processor. For example, with authorize.net, you can acc…

Yet another “I cant’t parent so I’ll show my kids what a surveillance state looks like” post.

Caveat: I was employee 13 at Twitter and I spent a long time dealing with random failure modes. At extremely high scale you start to run into very strange problems. We used to say …

This a great idea, but it's a great idea when on-prem. During some thread, some where, there's going to be a roundtrip time between my servers and yours, and once I am at a scale w…

Great, so now my eyes and back are going to be f'd. Just step away from the screen and take regular breaks.

Didn’t we solve this already with slab allocators in memcached? The major problem with fixed allocation like this is fragmentation in memory over time, which you then have to reinv…

The trivial defense against this is time limited passwords for Wifi access. Deny all access until a valid password is entered, only permit that password and MAC address pair for n …

Two racists make a right (winger) I guess.

full of lies. for example, in downtown SF the options are few and far between. there is comcast for high speed, and well… there is comcast. If you want slow bonded DSL you can go t…

Buy our product !

Great idea but yet another blog post, which is actually marketing, which ends with “they did it buy our product so you can too”, which is probably not what Meta did.

not sure if this matters?

probably the hardest thing here is people read faster than they write. in the 1990s I helped build a dating site where people put their profiles on small voicemails. This is very r…

fantastic! I’ve been building game show buzzers and various PCBs for them for about ten years and used them at a lot of events. any chance you’ll open source this? My boards and co…

Articles like these which blame technology as the great evil, with a “what about the children! think of the children!” bent, are biased and troubling. The article starts by blaming…

it’s batshit insane reading an article about privacy and surveillance while a request for tracking cookies sits at the bottom of the screen

The gold standard for this Druid at very large scale, or ClickhouseDB. Clickhouse has a lot of problems as far as modifying/scaling shards after the fact, while Druid handles this …

back in my day we did this with discrete TTL or CMOS shift registers and no PICs. they are a luxury ;)

advertisement pretending to be helpful.
