phillipseamore — Sun, 07 Jun 2026 23:20:26 +0000

The Nordic countries have had artist's salaries since the 1950's, many countries have subsidies or funding for various arts on a project by project basis. All considered to be worth more than they cost.

New comment by phillipseamore in "Ask HN: I made an image watermarking tool. What are the issues open-sourcing it?"

phillipseamore — Sun, 07 Jun 2026 22:33:06 +0000

Watermarking is for fools. Those doing the generation and watermarking will control what is perceived as false or true. Watermarks have historically been about proof of ownership or origin. Watermarking fake creations works in reverse, all of a sudden what's void of watermarking is true, but those that control the watermarking can either add them to truths to turn them into fakes or skip watermarking for certain people or organizations, making their fake creations become truths.

Been a while but remember it as a fine series.

All traffic includes stylesheets, JS, images and so on that your typical browser will faithfully retrieve to render a page but most bots or scrapers will ignore some or all of them.

New comment by phillipseamore in "What Dot.com Bandwidth Taught Me About the AI Token Cost Panic"

phillipseamore — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 15:41:19 +0000

Bandwidth usage isn't bound to power cost, e.g. a 10x increase in BW between NY and LA doesn't use 10x more power or likely even increase running costs outside of what could be called noise. Token generation however is more or less tied to power costs. There is nothing comparable between the .COM and AI bubbles and the likely outcomes.

nginx+fpm should beat FrankenPHP when actually configured. Socket instead of TCP to FPM, upping nginx limits from the default max 1024 sessions pr. worker, fastcgi_keep_conn etc.

I've spoken to CF about that all the way up to VP levels, not likely to happen (available to enterprise customers).

Some DNS service providers allow whitelabeling, e.g. you create ns[0-4].yourdomain.de as the NS records.

Very unimpressive study. Patients were allocated to the next empty room but they end up with 18 patients in "long stay" NW rooms and 11 in "discharged earlier" SE rooms. Patients in rooms facing the sun do draw the curtains.

FFS this all falls apart in an emergent situation. Tattoo the PKS on your ass (or whatever part you wouldn't normally leave exposed in public).

phillipseamore — Fri, 29 May 2026 14:42:50 +0000

What am I missing? It can't even list countries in NATO correctly, chatjimmy.ai can do that and output 17000 tokens/sec on cheaper silicon.

This again, truth is US lacks good data on death from heat.

Site uses up to 2 cores at 100% and 392MB RAM, so State of AI in design probably bad?

I wouldn't say the examples there are usable.

That HN exception from text autosizing shows very well that most of these quirks have nothing to do with Chrome.

I wouldn't trust anyone that thinks planting a PWS in a flower bed can be used as a source of truth or even as comparison to offical WS which are used for the calibration of models. Just the difference of measuring wind at under 1m and next to flowers and bushes against at the standard 10m above ground...

If Safari and Firefox had the exact same lists of sites and fixes I might agree, but they don't.

They are always trying more. Final match of the day, Real Sociedad vs Real Betis is over in about 80-85 minutes so see what changes after that.
