• Inside Amazon's Operation to Gather Intel on Rivals

  This was definitively broadcast by a Tell HN post[0] that 'dang made 9 years ago. He has been consistent in his communication of the HN policies around paywalls across many comments every year, increasingly so over the past year.[1] Submitters should note that "hard" paywalls are banned. If readers can't use something like archive.today, 12ft.io, or archive.org to get around the paywall, then the article is not... - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

• We Need to Rewild the Internet

  Sorry for the offtopicness, but trollish usernames aren't allowed on HN, so we've banned this account. If you want to pick a different username, we can rename it for you and unban the account, as long as the username is genuinely neutral. https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comment&storyText=false&prefix=true&page=0&query=by:dang%20trollish%20username. - Source: Hacker News / 3 days ago

• T-Mobile Employees Across the Country Receive Cash Offers to Illegally Swap Sims

  Lazier than you think! You almost nerdsniped me into seeing how fast I could whip up a crawler but then I checked the search and found out it can find comments and use a custom date range. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateEnd=1700092800&dateRange=custom&dateStart=1649462400&page=0&prefix=true&query=swozey%20google&sort=byDate&type=comment. - Source: Hacker News / 4 days ago

• A Teenager

  We really do love pudding.cool[1]- I'd never bothered to go look at what it's actually all about till today, and you should too if you've not, because it wasn't exactly as I expected: https://pudding.cool/about/ [1]https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=pudding.cool&sort=byPopularity&type=story. - Source: Hacker News / 3 days ago

• El Prado Museum in Unprecedented Detail with New 360º Gigapixel Virtual Tour

  Https://medium.com/@heyulei/capture-images-for-gaussian-splatting-81d081bbc826 Feels a lot better when there is a simple Ui to cycle through the views, keyboard and mouse navigation locked on the y axis, and gaussians just look better. Pretty heavy though if the space is large. - Source: Hacker News / about 18 hours ago

• Implementing 2FA in JavaScript [Gist]

  I'm building a portfolio, out of nowhere I wanted to know how 2FA works and I figured a simple way: implementing 2FA with JavaScript and testing it with authenticator apps! It's all about beefing up online security, one line of code at a time. Check out my Medium article https://medium.com/@nechiii28/javascript-2-factor-authentication-but-one-timepass-word-number-18a6ed433908 for a quick dive into how it's done. - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

• 3Blue1Brown: Visualizing Attention, a Transformer's Heart

  IIRC, GPT-4 would actually be a bit _smaller_ to visualize than GPT3. Details are not public, but from the leaks GPT-4 (at least, some by-now old version of it) was a mixture of expert, with every model having around 110B parameters [1]. So, while the total number of parameters is bigger than GPT-3 (1800B vs. 175B), it is "just" 16 copies of a smaller (110B) parameters model. So if you wanted to visualize it in... - Source: Hacker News / 5 days ago

• Spectral Ray Tracing

  If you want to play with ray tracing implementation, it's surprisingly easy to write one by yourself. There's a (great free book)[https://raytracing.github.io/books/RayTracingInOneWeekend.html] or, if you know a bit of Unity (a very nice GPU-based tutorial)[https://medium.com/@jcowles/gpu-ray-tracing-in-one-weekend-3e7d874b3b0f]. The Unity version is easier to tinker with, because you have scene preview and other... - Source: Hacker News / 5 days ago
