Web Bot Auth

Web Bot Auth is an authentication method that leverages cryptographic signatures in HTTP messages to verify that a request comes from an automated bot. Web Bot Auth is used as a verification method for verified bots and signed agents. It relies on two active IETF drafts: a directory draft ↗ allowing the crawler to share their public keys, and a protocol draft ↗ defining how these keys should be used to attach crawler's identity to HTTP requests.

In Search of AI Psychosis

news.ycombinator.com Scott Alexander 2025-11-29 14:30:50

AI psychosis (NYT, PsychologyToday) is an apparent phenomenon where people go crazy after talking to chatbots too much. There are some high-profile anecdotes, but still many unanswered questions. For example, how common is it really? Are the chatbots really driving people crazy, or just catching the attention of people who were crazy already? Isn’t psychosis supposed to be a biological disease? Wouldn’t that make chatbot-induced psychosis the same kind of category error as chatbot-induced diabet

You know what’s wrong with people? They’re too sure of themselves. Better to be wrong and own it than be right with caveats. Hard to build a personal brand out of nuance these days. People are attracted to confidence — however misplaced. But can you blame them? (People, that is) Working in software, the most annoying part of reaching Senior level is having to say “it depends” all the time. Much more fun getting to say “let’s ship it and iterate” as Staff or “that won’t scale” as a Principal.

Spiders Hijack Fireflies to Create Devious Glowing Death Traps

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-12-02 06:25:48

Fireflies glow to attract mates. As new research shows, however, a certain species of spider has learned to take advantage of this luminous natural phenomenon. In a Journal of Animal Ecology paper published August 27, ecologists report that the sheetweb spider (Psechrus clavis) appears to exploit firefly luminescence to attract more prey. Observational analysis and lab experiments revealed that, by using firefly light as bait, the nocturnal predators improved their hunting success. This is the

The ninth episode of Dan Da Dan hit the ground running with an explosive rematch between Okarun and Evil Eye.

The thing that surprised me most about traveling to China back in 2019 was how quiet it was. I expected chaos, noise, pollution—all the stuff you associate with a developing country. Instead, I found electric bikes gliding silently through tree-lined streets. We lived there for five months until COVID hit. About a week ago, I went back to visit Yunnan.

‘Tron: Ares’ Uses Elements From a Decade-Old Script

When Tron: Ares hits theaters in October, it’ll be the end of a 15-year roller coaster ride. The second Tron, Tron: Legacy, was released in December 2010, and almost immediately, talks began about a sequel. In that time, multiple writers (15, in fact), directors, and actors attempted to return to the Grid only to fall short. But now, it’s coming, and it’s very different from what fans expected 15 years ago, though some key elements remain. One of the first writers brought on to pen Tron 3 was D

Mississippi’s age assurance law puts decentralized social networks to the test
