I am not sure there are many instances where I would be comfortable uploading my slides to a random website?

New comment by antonly in "100+ reactions to 100+ solutions"

It really pains me to read the responses here to this and the AHM statements. It feels like HN people here are talking with such... privilege. These are the smartest people on the planet saying "hey, please don't do this, it's seriously hampering our work in this field". And then people on here say that mathematicians are... gate keeping? Not embracing progress? Who are you to say that? How do you know? What happened to empathy for others? I don't understand you all...

I just tried this and the results look very off. I put in the MiniSat[1] Paper, and the result appears catastrophically wrong: https://imgur.com/a/i3RHwcQ

What did they do with their benchmarks? I've never seen Qwen3.6 27B this close to Qwen3.8 27B in any aggregated summary... Makes one questions the entire accuracy section.

I wonder how common of a problem this will be in the future. The experiment will fail due to improper setup, the human will at best glance over the logs and declare victory, and everyone just believes.

Tell HN: Silent Netcup Domain Registrar DNSSEC Failure

antonly — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 12:01:02 +0000

Netcup (a European registrar) has had issues with parts of their DNSSEC infrastructure, leading to many domains advertised DS records not matching Netcups DNSSEC keys.

You can verify this by grabbing the DS records for one of the affected domains (pikz.cc):

    > dig @1.1.1.1 pikz.cc DS +short
    33487 8 2 4AF88BD043D909E290E2CC69626E619CC4BC54F98469042AB696027F DB981B8E

and comparing it to the DNSSEC key:

    > dig @root-dns.netcup.net pikz.cc DNSKEY +multiline
    
    ;; ANSWER SECTION:
    pikz.cc.  86400 IN DNSKEY 256 3 8 (
    
    ) ; ZSK; alg = RSASHA256 ; key id = 51649
    pikz.cc.  86400 IN DNSKEY 257 3 8 (
    
    ) ; KSK; alg = RSASHA256 ; key id = 37505

Note how neither 51649 nor 37505 are the advertised DS of 33487.

I noticed this issue on Saturday, and have contacted support three times. I received an "issue fixed, boss" on Monday, but issues have persisted.

The worst part is that this only shows up on DNS servers implementing DNSSEC, which apparently my uptime monitor does not use, so I never got a warning except for a dip in traffic and a "domain unreachable" error in my browser.

Google (8.8.8.8) and Cloudlflare (1.1.1.1) notably do enforce DNSSEC, so the pages are down when using their services.

How do we know free tier models will continue to provide adequate services? They are pretty good right now, but only because all big players are happy to burn enormous amounts of money.

But it won't even do that. In the pursuit of extracting maximal capital, better models with "better" knowledge will be gated behind higher prices. If you pay more, you get more.

How does it help equalise, if the commodity is sold "at market value" by the richest, and all intellectual input is immediately fed back into the tool. Looks at best like a weapon to supress

How is it an equalising force if the commodity is sold at "market value"? This will just lead to more wealth concentration, no?

Alright, here I go.

I don't think you are AI. I merely lament the fact that you found it appropriate to post a clearly LLM generated comment.

The problem with LLM generated comments for me is not their content, but rather their nature. I am not addressing the "actual discussion", as in my personal opinion, there is no "discussion" to be had. The post constitutes an automated response akin to an answering machine (be it much more sophisticated), and I generally do not find discussions with answering machines interesting at all.

I find it interesting that you request me to discuss subject matter when your post is intellectually equivalent to: "I generated this sequence of numbers using my pseudo-random number generator"

Hello, could you please put your over-sensationalized, overly-long, AI-generated comments somewhere else? Thank you.

Kindly, the HN Community.

A Meal Deal is literally £3.85. What are you talking about?

I beg your pardon?

This is not true. The UK has a £3.85 meal deal that is a sandwich + a snack + a drink. It's hugely popular.

Germany has the Döner Kebab, it's now about 5-9€, but the have cheaper options available too. Again, hugely popular.

I'm sure most European cities have these.
