Threads challenges X by offering free support for up to 10K characters, plus prominent links

techcrunch.com Sarah Perez 2025-10-16 14:00:00

After recently being spotted testing a way to share longer text, Threads, Meta’s X competitor, is now officially rolling out the feature that allows users to attach up to 10,000 characters of text to their post. The addition has been designed with the needs of creators in mind, as it supports linking out to content outside of Threads, like newsletters, blogs, podcasts, and more. Before this update, Threads supported 500 characters — which is already far more than the 280 characters offered to X

Ask HN: Gandi is holding my domain hostage. What can I do?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-18 07:58:25

The short version of the story is that I was on a two-year internet hiatus. During that time my Gandi account with a decade-old domain name got locked. I have been emailing back and fourth with their Abuse department for the better part of a week and they’re slow-walking me at best. I had assurances from the CEO, who I reached via text, that if it wasn’t resolved today to text him back. He has now gone dark on me. I used to love Gandi, but they’re holding my domain name hostage.

VibeVoice: A Frontier Open-Source Text-to-Speech Model

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-18 15:44:01

VibeVoice: A Frontier Open-Source Text-to-Speech Model VibeVoice is a novel framework designed for generating expressive, long-form, multi-speaker conversational audio, such as podcasts, from text. It addresses significant challenges in traditional Text-to-Speech (TTS) systems, particularly in scalability, speaker consistency, and natural turn-taking. A core innovation of VibeVoice is its use of continuous speech tokenizers (Acoustic and Semantic) operating at an ultra-low frame rate of 7.5 Hz.

Using JWT to establish a trusted context for Row Level Security

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-19 09:32:51

Row-level security (RLS) is a great feature. It allows restricting access to rows by applying filters defined by a policy. It’s a tool useful for cases when the data set can’t be split into separate databases. Sadly, using RLS may be quite cumbersome. RLS requires some sort of “trusted context” for the RLS policies. The policies need to filter using data the user can’t change. If the filter uses some sort of “tenant ID”, and the user can change it to an arbitrary value, that would break the RLS
