Tell HN: OpenAI keeps re-enabling the 'allow training' setting

I've reset this more than once and the last time I made a careful note of when I did it and to my surprise I found it re-enabled when I checked just now. Make sure you check this thing to see if it hasn't been re-enabled if you believe it to be off right now. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49643556 Points: 317 # Comments: 122

Trump Mobile didn't announce the price increase, instead quietly changing its website overnight. This wasn't a total surprise though, especially given the phone ships with […]

22 horas de um honeypot SSH: o que a internet faz com uma porta 22 aberta

Expus um servidor-isca de SSH à internet por 22 horas. Não precisei esperar por um ataque para ter o que analisar: ele já estava acontecendo, sem pausa, o tempo todo. Este post é o que os dados mostraram, do brute force inicial até o payload que os bots tentam instalar, com números reais, IOCs e trechos do que foi capturado. O que é um honeypot (e o que este faz) Um honeypot é um servidor "isca": ele finge ser um alvo real, registra tudo que os atacantes tentam e nunca execut...

Splash Screen and App Icon in React Native: Get it done right

A splash screen is the first thing people see when they open your app. It usually shows your logo, app name, or a short branded animation while the app is launching. Get it right and it feels polished. Get it wrong and users notice the delay. A lot of developers build a splash screen by creating a full React Native screen and using setTimeout to navigate away after one or two seconds. It works, but it adds extra wait time. If the app takes one second to load and your splash screen wait...

What Can You Learn from Detecting the Technologies Behind an Ecommerce Store?

Modern ecommerce sites are rarely built around a single piece of software. A storefront may combine an ecommerce platform, payment provider, analytics tools, customer support software, marketing automation, review platforms, shipping systems, personalization tools, and many other services. For developers, data teams, and people building ecommerce-related products, this creates an interesting technical question: What can we learn by identifying the technologies that power a website? ...

Fourteen years of blog posts, seven languages, one laptop: an open-weight model did our hreflang backfill

In May I had 5,892 blog posts spread over seven hosts, the oldest dated November 7, 2011, and not one field anywhere that said which post was the translation of which. Same company, same blog: French on fr.goodbarber.com, English on www, then es, it, pt, de and nl on their own subdomains. In our CMS each language blog is a separate site, and for fourteen years a translation was published as a new, unrelated article. Google's hreflang wants, for every article, the full list of its language versio...
