Further to your point, it harms the existing wonderful sites like https://radio.garden/—which has been featured on HN several times over the past few years.

First-year TLDs under $2 is one of the best indicators of likely abuse. Some TLDs like .xyz are truly fighting abuse while others feign ignorance.

I don't understand this. The first year being discounted (or free) helped .me, and .xyz in the past. This is one year of data. Surely more time is needed?

It is unlikely that there are valid business reasons for network environments to allow .garden domains;

What do you mean? What is this likelihood based off of?

highly recommend defenders completely block the .garden top-level domain, and allowlist items as needed.

Holy overreaction, Batman.

I don’t think CTFs are dead, they’ll just evolve. The difficulty level will need to be increased or the rules locked down. Just like sports and racing persist despite the existence of performance enhancing drugs and rocket technology.

I just did a CTF where I was in the top 10. It was the first CTF I completed and I used AI because the rules permitted it. That said, I couldn’t solve all challenges.

But yes, it was significantly easier now than I last attempted one. Even manually solving with AI assisted assembly interpretation was much easier.

I once followed their docs and added it to my Claud Code Web to call their API. Unbeknownst to me they started charging me for all Claude Code calls by passing them to the API. They refused to refund me, but did update their docs at some point to remove the faulty instructions I followed.

I think OP is talking about Shifting Baseline Syndrome[0].

A shifting baseline (also known as a sliding baseline) is a type of change to how a system is measured, usually against previous reference points (baselines), which themselves may represent significant changes from an even earlier state of the system that fails to be considered or remembered.

So we introduced a new TypeScript schema that can define the full scope of APIs, CLI commands and arguments, and context needed to generate any interface. The schema format is “just” a set of TypeScript types with conventions, linting, and guardrails to ensure consistency.

I'm confused though, why isn't that tool/framework being shown here. What is it and how does it work? It is similar to the TypeSpec tool someone else posted?

I just tried this idea, and it looks like it isn't that simple.

"Generate a pure white image."

It refused no matter how I phrased it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"Generate a pure black image."

It did give me one. In a new chat, I asked Gemini to detect SynthID with "@synthid". It responded with:

The image contains too little information to make a diagnosis regarding whether it was created with Google AI. It is primarily a solid black field, and such content typically lacks the necessary data for SynthID to provide a definitive result.

Further research: Does a gradient trigger SynthID? IDK, I have to get back to work.

they occur instead because of inadequate immigration

How did they make that assertion?

In the body of the paper immigration policies were not included as a variable in the data, nor were they a part of the statistical analyses. I couldn't find anything regarding labor movement at all. It feels weird that it was just thrown there in the end.

Instead of picking a target UUID and evaluating new UUIDs against it, a better experiment would be finding duplicates in all the UUIDs you have generated.

This plays nicely with the birthday paradox.

Piano Keys 1 year ago

if you have trouble remembering how a knight moves, you can't be that good at Chess anyway.

Non sequitur.

It’s also still a valid question. I play the scales really well on the guitar. And because the frets are all laid out straight, shifting up by one fret means I’m just playing my chords and scales sharp. It makes transposing music incredibly easy.

I still don’t understand why the piano can’t be laid out like that.

https://clares.ca

Recently relaunched Clares.ca, a free website for Canadian amateur radio training.

The new site has modern basics: Fast and mobile friendly and will soon incorporate the latest updates to the Canadian test bank.

Additionally, I’m adding progress tracking, logins and notifications to keep users engaged. The previous version of the site was just the course and nothing else. This one is more usable.
