• I Know What Your Password Was Last Summer

  Something to add to their list of common passwords is the What3Words database of locations https://what3words.com It's something like 50trillion sets of looks-random strings.

• No rapid numbers on driveways

  I’m waiting for these guys to make a breakthrough here. Source: 6 months ago

• Unique Challenges of Geocoding in India

  I assume this is the problem that https://what3words.com/ is trying to solve. But I guess it being in English makes it a less good solution. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

And just for that reason, the parks department uses the app What3Words to help people share their exact location with emergency responders.

• Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2024)

  Anything this common becomes noise, since it doesn't add any new information. Heres' another way to look at it: since the idea of HN is to be intellectually interesting (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=curiosity%20optimiz%20by:dang), repetition is the most important thing to avoid... - Source: Hacker News / 2 days ago

• Hotwire: HTML Over The Wire

  At least as far as Hacker News is concerned, I'd call htmx way more marketed. It has hundreds of HN submissions in the past year alone [0] including one that broke 1000 points, compared to Hotwire which is sitting at about 40 submissions in the past year [1], the most popular of which is this one.

  Authorities compel tech companies to hand over data and place backdoors. They typically abuse secrecy laws to avoid public backlash, but their public demands have gotten bolder since the Snowden disclosures. https://www.reuters.com/technology/cybersecurity/governments-spying-apple-google-users-through-push-notifications-us-senator-2023-12-06/... - Source: Hacker News / 5 days ago

• 1-Bit LLMs Could Solve AI's Energy Demands

  Yes but please try to avoid repetition on HN. The GP's response was rude and broke the site guidelines but https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=hachyderm.io%2F%40inthehands&sort=byDate&type=comment does look excessive to me. - Source: Hacker News / 6 days ago
