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.

You’re conflating offsite backups, a type of backup, with the class of backups. Backups can be on-site. Is it as durable? No. Is it a backup? Yes.

What was the motivation for this? Why this particular tablet?

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.

Maybe I wasn’t clear. I was following the docs on their SDK. See here: https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/sdks/typescript

This is for their API, and I was on Claude Code Web.

It wasn’t clear to me that following the SDK docs and introducing the environment variable as in the examples would magically enable API billing for Claude Code.

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?

As someone that zooms into websites including HN by default, I for one appreciate the text size :)

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.

I didn’t say it was state sponsored mass surveillance, nor did I say the method of obfuscation was good.

Just that it’s a pragmatic approach (no matter how flawed in practice) and concerning that it needs to be done.

To me it feels pragmatic.

I find it more concerning that mass surveillance has come to the point where someone can’t safely express their frankly-not-that-controversial opinions without obfuscating the subject’s name.

Now we just need to put two hams with 2m/70cm radios to make the longest line-of-sight QSO on the planet. Bonus points for QRP.

Definitions:

* Hams: Amateur radio operators.

* QSO: conversation or contact between two radio stations.

* QRP: Low power, typically under 5 watts.

That’s not end-to-end encryption. By that logic HN, and any other website over HTTPS is E2E encrypted.
