New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: The ISP has a competing product so has decided to block my domain
Ask HN: The ISP has a competing product so has decided to block my domain
35 by qerim | 19 comments on Hacker News.
The ISP in my hometown (Albania + Kosovo) has decided to block my whole domain to my free legal streaming website because they also happen to offer IPTV services. I only found out after trying to access my site from Albania today, it just comes up with a “bad URL” request. The streams I serve on my site are public freely available TV channels, combined into a single page. Since EU laws do not apply to neither of these countries, is there any course of action I can take to prevent this sort of monopoly going on?

New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: How to build F-You Skills
Ask HN: How to build F-You Skills
25 by lakevieew | 18 comments on Hacker News.
The past few months have been stressful for most people in the tech industry owing to mass layoffs everywhere. Luckily, I survived the layoffs at my company. But I was very anxious during the period it was announced and it affected my mental health quite a bit. However, on talking to a few other engineers at my company, I realized not everyone was as stressed. They are confident in their skills to get a new equivalent job which would easily support their current lifestyle, even in the current market. They have what I would call, "F-You Skills - Enough skills to know that you would never have to worry about money in your life", a spin on the more commonly known term "F-You Money" [1]. I was wondering if HN users ever think of their own skills in this context. If yes, how should one go about building these skills. To be clear, I am not talking about interviewing skills, which are also equally important. But I am more interested in technical skills that people believe will easily fetch them "decent money" [2] in any scenario in the short term future. [1] F-You Money means "Enough money to leave one's job, etc. and enjoy the lifestyle of one's choice" https://ift.tt/FxrQLRf [2] not insane money to retire early, but good enough to support their current lifestyle.

I thought this could start a good debate on the subject. Myself I have had to make a short running web-scraping job that, given a change in the site, sends a notifying email. This running once an hour. It is 2022, so I had thought it would be tremendously easy and cheap, but it seems no solution is easily implemented.

Show HN: Factual AI Q&A – Answers based on Huberman Lab transcripts
7 by rileyt | 2 comments on Hacker News.
This is a quick prototype I built for semantic search and factual question answering using embeddings and GPT-3. It tries to solve the LLM hallucination issue by guiding it only to answer questions from the given context instead of making things up. If you ask something not covered in an episode, it should say that it doesn't know rather than providing a plausible, but potentially incorrect response. It uses Whisper to transcribe, text-embedding-ada-002 to embed, Pinecone.io to search, and text-davinci-003 to generate the answer. More examples and explanations here: https://twitter.com/rileytomasek/status/1603854647575384067

OP here, this was super fun to build. It all started from playing around with Nat Friedman's GPT browser https://twitter.com/0xferruccio/status/1599014988693180417 Then after having this running for our product for a couple of days or so we decided to give 10 customers access and they loved it! So expanding access now feels great :)

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Web search using a ChatGPT-like model that can cite its sources
Show HN: Web search using a ChatGPT-like model that can cite its sources
41 by rushingcreek | 30 comments on Hacker News.
We’ve trained a generative AI model to browse the web and answer questions/retrieve code snippets directly. Unlike ChatGPT, it has access to primary sources and is able to cite them when you hover over an answer (click on the text to go to the source being cited). We also show regular Bing results side-by-side with our AI answer. The model is an 11-billion parameter T5-derivative that has been fine-tuned on feedback given on hundreds of thousands of searches done (anonymously) on our platform. Giving the model web access lessens its burden to need to store a snapshot of human knowledge within its parameters. Rather, it knows how to piece together primary sources in a natural and informative way. Using our own model is also an order of magnitude cheaper than relying on GPT. A drawback to aligning models to web results is that they are less inclined to generate complete solutions/answers to questions where good primary sources don’t exist. Answers generated without underlying citable sources can be more creative but are prone to errors. In the future, we will show both types of answers. Examples: https://ift.tt/7d4VSqI https://ift.tt/sgzuxtA... https://ift.tt/kOsVovU... https://ift.tt/Atck3UE... Would love to hear your thoughts.

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Publish from GitHub Actions using multi-factor authentication
Show HN: Publish from GitHub Actions using multi-factor authentication
10 by varunsharma07 | 1 comments on Hacker News.
The backstory about this GitHub Action: I discussed with an open-source maintainer why they publish npm packages from their local machine and do not use CI/CD pipelines. They said publishing should require human intervention and want to continue using multi-factor authentication to publish to the npm registry. This led to building the wait-for-secrets GitHub Action. It prints a URL in the build log and waits for secrets to be entered using a browser. Once entered, the workflow continues, and secrets can be used in future steps. The latest release of "eslint-plugin-react" to the npm registry used a one-time password (OTP) from a GitHub Actions workflow! https://ift.tt/X27Sgbx...

Ask HN: Was I pwned?
62 by wasipwned | 56 comments on Hacker News.
A few days ago, I noticed that my home network performance would degrade substantially to the point of being unusable. I would just power-cycle all my switches, and the issue would resolve for a while. It happened again this morning, so I decided to try to look closer at what could be causing the issue. That's when I noticed that my Linux desktop was doing a lot of traffic, and here's what I observed: - My desktop has a private IP address, let's say 10.0.0.2. - Running `iftop`, I saw all the traffic coming from a different source IP address, 10.0.0.3. It was transferring ~300Mbps. - Running `tcpdump`, I saw that all of this traffic was going to a public IP address (AT&T). All of the source port/dest were ipsec-nat-t. - I saw that `10.0.0.3` showed up as a client on my switch with a randomized MAC address (presumably, since I couldn't find the MAC prefix in a vendor list). - I could not find any references to `10.0.0.3` or the random MAC address on my desktop (looking at kernel logs, system logs, ip a, ifconfig). - During this period, my network was degraded (high packet loss across my switches). It was at this point that I decided to try blocking the MAC address from my switch, and performance immediately returned to normal. I tried unblocking the MAC a few minutes later, but it has yet to return. That plus the fact that the issue happens at seemingly random times (especially the middle of the night) makes me think that it's not automatically connecting and instead being triggered remotely. I've since disconnected my desktop from the network and am in the process of rotating keys. I'm especially perplexed at the traffic showing up from a different source IP on my desktop, but I did not see any interface that matched. I tried to look and see if it was potentially a VM running, but I didn't see anything in virsh. I did have Docker containers running, but I assume I would have seen the IP address show up on one of my interfaces. I'm at a bit of a loss and was wondering if anyone has ever seen anything like this before, and if there is any suggestions for things I should check.

Ask HN: Are companies becoming increasingly pushy? If so why?
47 by ciwchris | 33 comments on Hacker News.
I don't remember the timeline. I believe browsing Pinterest anonymously was always limited, therefore I pretty much always avoided this site. At some point LinkedIn changed to require a login to view profiles, well most of the time. Maybe this change occurred around the time Microsoft bought them. I avoid LinkedIn too. At some point both Instagram and Twitter also started aggressively limiting content for anonymous users. Medium and Substack have been increasingly nagging and/or limiting content too. Spotify seems to be trying to increasingly cross sell podcasts and audio books. Just within the last week they've also made multiple attempts to get me to enable push notifications for various communication. And then just this morning I browsed Indeed to keep an eye on what's going on in the local area and found they are limiting search results to one page without logging in. The only one of these I pay for is Spotify, so I guess fair enough, except for Spotify. This certainly isn't a comprehensive list. I feel I'm having to be increasingly defensive. I'm finding I'm spending more and more time blocking, dismissing or having to give up on sites and services. Is this trend increasing? If so what are some reasons why this is occurring? Is it the changing economy? Because companies dominate the product and so they feel they can get away with it? Because companies grow and lose their first principles? Because of the pressure to always be growing? I'm interested in hearing the thoughts of others on this topic? Is this behavior increasing? What is contributing to it? Is this something we will need to learn to accept or is this something to contest? Is there a positive aspect to this, such as this behavior will create opportunities for other players?

Show HN: Widget.json and Widget Construction Set
16 by bmalicoat | 6 comments on Hacker News.
My friend and I just finished this project last week. I'd love to hear your feedback. widget.json brings a dynamic window to the web to your device's home screen. It's kind of like RSS for widgets, you make a widget.json for whatever web data you want and then subscribe to it in Widget Construction Set, our iOS widget.json viewer. We've made image of the day and word of the day widgets, Youtube channel widgets that show the latest videos, RSS widgets, Prometheus counter widgets and more. You can imagine a GitHub CI widget showing the last build status with a link to view it. Friend groups could make a shared scratch pad of text and images. Househoulds can make a shared TODO or grocery list widget. Widgets can use local device launch schemes which enables widgets to initiate text messages, calls, emails, shortcuts apps, and more. With this, you can make a widget that shows images of your favorite people and when you tap their image it FaceTimes them. If you're worried about Twitter, you could even make your own one-way Twitter replacement where your text and images show up on your followers home screen! Ideally, sites add a widget.json feed alongside their RSS feed. widget.json files have a one-click subscribe link to easily add them to Widget Construction Set. This gives sites and creators a simple, direct connection to their users without the need of building a separate app or having their users remember to visit their site. For Patreon or other user-supported creators, they can offer private widgets that are only granted to their supporters. We couldn't figure a way to make a business on this, but we liked what the technology enabled so we're releasing it all for free, with the exception of a one-time $2.99 purchase to view private widgets. Though since the widget.json format is open, if $2.99 is too steep, people are free to make their own private widget viewer as well. Widget Construction Set: https://ift.tt/tikCpKT...

Show HN: Unclutter – Reader mode, but better
24 by phgn | 11 comments on Hacker News.
Hey everyone! In the last months I've been working on Unclutter, a modern reader mode browser extension. In contrast to all existing approaches, it unclutters articles by modifying their CSS instead of extracting the text content. This results in a more visually pleasing result that reuses the original article style. The idea is to remove friction so you use the reader mode more often. There are a few more features around saving articles automatically and taking highlights -- more details are on the website. The extension has about 400 active weekly users right now, mostly from organic web store traffic. Monetisation has proven to be hard and for freemium there would need to be much higher numbers anyways. Do you think I should keep working on the project?

New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: What is the thing you've build you regret the most?
Ask HN: What is the thing you've build you regret the most?
7 by Octabrain | 5 comments on Hacker News.
Given the very interesting comments on the "Ask HN: What is the most impactful thing you've built?", I was wondering about something similar: Things you regret based on ethical implications, bad technical decisions you made convinced you were right but regret/cringe about later, failures on miscalculations on budgets that provoked a bad outcome in the company etc whatever. Thanks in advance.

New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: How do I find my “purpose”?
Ask HN: How do I find my “purpose”?
33 by trollerator23 | 67 comments on Hacker News.
(This is a serious question, despite my username) There are plenty of studies that show that having a "purpose" and working after it is correlated with higher happiness or well being. "Purpose" is vague enough, so to make things worse I am going to conflate it with "life meaning", "calling" or "personal values". I recently came across the Japanese "Ikigai" which seems related. Ok, I buy this, however, what is this "purpose/ meaning/ calling/ value" thing? What does it mean, really? How do I find mine? I think this is the kind of thing a fair amount of people here in HN have thought about, so I thought of asking. Is there any research that goes into what is "purpose" and how to figure it out? I've come across plenty that talks about how good it is, but nothing that goes into how to find it. Any serious books that you may recommend?

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Metadocs, kinda like Reddit, but built into every documentation
Show HN: Metadocs, kinda like Reddit, but built into every documentation
23 by ritinkar | 6 comments on Hacker News.
Hi, I'm Ritinkar and I'm building metadocs, which is kind of like reddit built into every documentation ever. It's a chrome extension that allows discussion on any webpage to happen there itself. Currently I have built threaded comments, and a upvote/downvote system. Plus I've built this cool feature called Highlights, which lets you discuss specific lines in any documentation. As well as a feature called Top Hightlights, which shows the most interesting hightlights on any webpage. Hope you guys will try it out. And if you have any questions, feel free to ask me here. Thanks.
