You Had No Taste Before AI

news.ycombinator.com Matthew Sanabria 2025-09-25 04:00:44

There’s been an influx of people telling others to develop taste to use AI. Designers. Marketers. Developers. All of them touting the same message. It’s ironic, though. These are the same people who never questioned why their designs all look identical, never iterated beyond the first draft, and never asked if their work actually solved the problem at hand. They’re not alone. The loudest voices preaching about taste and AI are often the ones who never demonstrated taste before AI. What is Tast

Outage - post incident review By Allan Jardine On 29th July 2025, the DataTables.net site had a major outage as a result of an attack. This took out the main site with its examples and documentation, the support forum, and the sub-domains, including, most importantly, the DataTables CDN. Digging into such an event, when something has gone so wrong, is not a fun thing to do, but it is important for me to do so I can learn what I can do better in future, for you so you can understand what happe

Active phishing campaign targeting crates.io users

news.ycombinator.com Sept. 2025-10-03 20:51:33

We received multiple reports of a phishing campaign targeting crates.io users (from the rustfoundation.dev domain name), mentioning a compromise of our infrastructure and asking users to authenticate to limit damage to their crates. These emails are malicious and come from a domain name not controlled by the Rust Foundation (nor the Rust Project), seemingly with the purpose of stealing your GitHub credentials. We have no evidence of a compromise of the crates.io infrastructure. We are taking s

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

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-18 17:58:25

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.

The Tiny Caribbean Island Investors Are Chasing for Their AI Plans

gizmodo.com Riley Gutiérrez Mcdermid 2025-10-19 12:00:54

The beaches of this British overseas territory are usually its biggest draw. Tourists flock here for soft sand, turquoise seas, and the sense of seclusion found on an island with just 16,000 residents. But in the age of artificial intelligence, Anguilla’s most valuable asset may be two letters that make up its internet domain: .ai. Back in the 1980s, when the internet was still taking shape, countries and territories were each assigned their own suffix, such as.us for the United States, .uk fo

PyPI Preventing Domain Resurrection Attacks

Preventing Domain Resurrection Attacks Summary PyPI now checks for expired domains to prevent domain resurrection attacks, a type of supply-chain attack where someone buys an expired domain and uses it to take over PyPI accounts through password resets. These changes improve PyPI's overall account security posture, making it harder for attackers to exploit expired domain names to gain unauthorized access to accounts. Since early June 2025, PyPI has unverified over 1,800 email addresses when

The Big Oops in Type Systems: This Problem Extends to FP as Well Building on Casey Muratori's critique (youtube) of "compile time hierarchies that match the domain model," this problem extends beyond OOP to encompass a broader pattern in static type systems, particularly functional programming approaches that attempt to "make illegal states unrepresentable."

Cloudflare Starts Blocking Pirate Sites for UK Users

Cloudflare has become the first internet intermediary beyond local residential ISPs, to block access to pirate sites in the UK. Users attempting to access certain pirate sites are greeted with 'Error 451 - Unavailable for Legal Reasons'. In theory, ISP blocking should prevent UK users from even seeing this notice, but a combination of Cloudflare's blocking mechanism and choices made by some VPN users results in a piracy dead end.

Introduction In 2025, phishing is still the most prevalent kind of cyber attack on the planet. Indeed, 1.2% of the global email traffic is phishing.
