Mozilla Firefox's extension store being flooded with malware

news.ycombinator.com Connor Jones 2026-01-07 16:44:06

Mozilla is warning of an ongoing phishing campaign targeting developers of Firefox add-ons. The browser maker urged devs to "exercise extreme caution and scrutiny" when reviewing seemingly legitimate emails from senders pretending to be Mozilla or AMO (addons.mozilla.org). Although phishing emails can take many forms, Moz said this campaign usually lures devs into clicking through a malicious link to update their account.

Facts will not Save You - AI, History and Soviet Sci-Fi

news.ycombinator.com Seva Gunitsky 2026-01-04 06:16:18

A few days ago Microsoft published a list of the 40 jobs most likely to be replaced by AI. The first two entries are translators and historians, which made me laugh. The two jobs have one thing in common — they are acts of interpretation that are never recognized as such by outsiders. It’s probably self-evident in the tech world that history is a matter of assembling facts. A kind of mechanical curation, like sweeping loose pebbles into neat piles. This delusion reflects a larger hubris— the bel

As Silicon Valley has pushed the world more and more into trying to make the generative AI boom sustain itself, Hollywood is still standing on the precipice of a transformative moment. Studios are grappling with the purported potential (and demands for cost savings) artificial intelligence models may bring, weighed against the legal minefields exploiting such technologies can represent—and an increasing public backlash to the technology.

Tesla Approves Elon Musk’s $29 Billion Pay Package Despite Political Risks

Despite the headaches Tesla has faced from Elon Musk’s political antics, the company’s board just signed off on a new pay package for the CEO that is worth a whopping $29 billion. The new compensation terms come after a Delaware judge blocked a previous $55 billion compensation plan from 2018, siding with shareholders who argued the deal was unfairly approved.

Alienware’s AW2725Q 4K OLED gaming monitor is down to its lowest price ever at Amazon

theverge.com Brandt Ranj 2026-01-07 17:41:35

If you prefer gaming on a PC instead of consoles, you should hook it up to a display that can support playing games at higher frame rates for a smoother experience. Most gaming monitors require you to choose between prioritizing resolution or fidelity, but you get both with Alienware’s AW2725Q. The 26.7-inch 4K OLED display has a refresh rate of 240Hz, with just .03ms of latency (lag), so fast-paced games should look smooth instead of stuttering — so long as you have the graphics power to suppor
