    This article is somewhat misleading. The court only ruled that "OpenAI" is descriptive. It did not rule that it can never be registered. A descriptive trademark can still be regist…

    This sort of rejection is quite common. You can overcome the objection by submitting evidence that your mark has acquired distinctiveness through use. So there will be plenty of tr…

    docker-rollout also works well: https://github.com/wowu/docker-rollout The readme covers connection draining with Traefik which should solve one of the issues the author mentions

    Phrasing like “Honestly?” and “It’s not just [x], it’s [y]” multiple times Every list is a set of 3, and most lists have a bolded intro phrase, one even has the famous slopperific …

    We’re still waiting on a solution for https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/incidents/391rky29892m (which actually started a month earlier than the incident reports) In the meantime, as…

    Yes this is clearly verbatim output from an LLM. But it's perfect HN bait, really. The title is spicy enough that folks will comment without reading the article (more so than usual…

    Yes. The over-use of bold in the intro (hell, in the first sentence) is a good hint. All of it aligns with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writing Maybe the ima…

    It’s entirely written by an LLM.

    Great post and a great little tool. Some of my experience using these techniques in production: 1. Trilateration mostly doesn't work with internet routing, unlike GPS. Other commen…

    Much of the internet still does not support IPv6, so most providers will give you an IPv4 address. In fact only a few providers even support IPv6 at all. Even with IPv6 it's not a …

    Working on improving the data pipeline for https://iplocate.io - an IP intelligence service I've worked on since 2017. A couple of recent focuses: 1. VPN and proxy detection. We al…

    It won’t end up in our proxy detection database, but we track hosting provider ranges separately: https://www.iplocate.io/data/hosting-providers/

    There are plenty of VPN and proxy detection services, either as a service (API) or downloadable database, which are surprisingly comprehensive. Disclaimer: I’ve run one since 2017.…

    Most of these providers are in fact open about the fact that these locations are “virtual”, so it’s misleading to say they don’t match where they claim to be. There is however an i…

    Our government has been paying Deloitte & co. to produce slop for years before AI was being used to generate said slop. Can we get a refund for all of the others too?

    ISPs have no obligation, although the ubiquity of sites and apps relying on IP geolocation mean that ISPs are incentivized to provide correct info these days. I run a geolocation s…

    I thought this was going to be an analysis of articles that are clearly AI-generated. I feel like that’s an increasing ratio of top posts, and they’re usually an instant skip for m…

    G2, Sourceforge (yes, that one), and Gartner’s Capterra/GetApp/SoftwareAdvice all have the same business plan: charge vendors $x,xxx+ per month to outrank other vendors in their ma…

    I've tried variations of this. I find it will often cause it to include cringey bullshit phrases like: "Here's your brutally honest answer–just the hard truth, no fluff: [...]" I d…

    LLMs seem to use them at a rate far higher than the average person, same with the words “delve” and “robust” (and many others)
