Why is D3 so Verbose?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-10 03:12:35

Why is D3 Code So Long and Complicated (or Why is it So Verbose)? D3 is a b***h of a language at first glance. It’s long. It’s complicated and verbose. You have to enter what feels like an obscene amount of key strokes to draw one line. I’m currently about one-third of the way through my journey of learning D3.js, having finished Interactive Visualisation for the Web by Scott Murray, and now picking my way through D3.js in Action by Elijah Meeks and Anne-Marie Dufour.

Weaponizing image scaling against production AI systems

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-10 05:20:53

Picture this: you send a seemingly harmless image to an LLM and suddenly it exfiltrates all of your user data. By delivering a multi-modal prompt injection not visible to the user, we achieved data exfiltration on systems including the Google Gemini CLI. This attack works because AI systems often scale down large images before sending them to the model: when scaled, these images can reveal prompt injections that are not visible at full resolution. In this blog post, we’ll detail how attackers c

The Download: Ukraine’s Starlink repair shop, and predicting solar storms

technologyreview.com Rhiannon Williams 2025-11-10 11:10:00

Starlink is absolutely critical to Ukraine’s ability to continue in the fight against Russia. It’s how troops in battle zones stay connected with faraway HQs; it’s how many of the drones essential to Ukraine’s survival hit their targets; it’s even how soldiers stay in touch with spouses and children back home. However, Donald Trump’s fickle foreign policy and reports suggesting Elon Musk might remove Ukraine’s access to the services have cast the technology’s future in the country into doubt.

Scientists Built a Beer-Fridge-Sized Reactor That Brings Fusion Closer

Notion gains offline mode, but it’s not quite automatic

Notion has introduced a long-awaited feature, adding offline mode to the AI-powered project hub. However, documents don’t just work offline by default. Instead, Notion has designed offline mode to be, well, a separate mode. It needs to be enabled manually for each document you want to access without an internet connection. For some subscriber tiers, offline mode can apply to certain documents without flipping the toggle, but there are still some parameters to be familiar with in the new system.

Appeals court says NLRB structure unconstitutional, in a win for SpaceX
