Is HackMD good?

• Axios Compromised on NPM – Malicious Versions Drop Remote Access Trojan

  Many of the suggestions in this thread (min-release, ignore script) are defenses for the consumers. I've been working on Proof of Resilience, a set of 4 metrics for OSS, and using that as a scoring oracle for what to fund. Popularity metrics like downloads, stars, etc are easy to fake today with ai agents. An interesting property is that gaming these metrics produces better code, not worse. These are the 4... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• A decentralized peer-to-peer messaging application that operates over Bluetooth

  Bluetooth works most reliably across all devices (within its limited range), but all these p2p apps are indeed moving towards multi-transport support to diversify and widen the connectivity grid: https://hackmd.io/@grjte/bitchat-wifi-aware. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Building a Rust-Style Static Analyzer for C++ with AI

  Https://hackmd.io/@rust-lang-team/rJvv36hq1e I don't know if they later changed their minds. From the meetings notes it seemed they didn't want implement a C++ frontend in rustc. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Writing a Good Design Document

  Https://hackmd.io might fit the bill. I use it for some open source projects I work on, but don't really touch the advanced features. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Show HN: Improving RAG with Chess Elo Scores? (YC W25)

  - https://hackmd.io/@-Gjw1zWMSH6lMPRlziQFEw/B15B4Rsleg tldr; wikipedia iterates on , but that can go to zero or infinity. Iterating on stays between -4 and 4 in all of our observed pairwise matrices, so it's very well-bounded. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Show HN: Improving RAG with Chess Elo Scores? (YC W25)

  We tried a bradley-terry loss function, as calculated with https://hackmd.io/@-Gjw1zWMSH6lMPRlziQFEw/SJ8sRl1Zge We found that MSE after elo-adjustment worked equally well. And, MSE lets you shuffle (q, d) across the dataset which has good statistical properties (Versus contrastive, which makes you sample the same query many times within a single minibatch) In this case "InfoNCE" isn't applicable because the... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• # [derive(Clone)] Is Broken

  It's got a subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/rustjerk/ There's an "internal" community document entitled "The Core Team Is Toxic": https://hackmd.io/@XAMPPRocky/r1HT-Z6_t There's an entry on the tropes page about it: https://enet4.github.io/rust-tropes/rewrite-in-rust/ You're trying to make the case that this is a fever dream hallucinated by me in isolation?

• MinIO Removes Web UI Features from Community Version, Pushes Users to Paid Plans

  The most established option is Ceph, which has a (optional) web ui too. Before investigating it for eventual production use, I heard quite a bit about how complicated it was to use, but for my use case (storage for enterprise and academic k8s clusters) it's actually been quite simple to deploy and use. Cephadm (one of many ceph management tools) can handle nearly all our bootstrapping and management needs. Little... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• If it is worth keeping, save it in Markdown

  HackMD already does this. It has a dual-pane view for raw markdown and formatted output, supports WYSIWYG editing, and allows real-time collaboration. Surprised no one mentioned it. - [HackMD: Your Collaborative Markdown Workspace for Knowledge Sharing](https://hackmd.io/). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Tor: From the Dark Web to the Future of Privacy

  It seems, at the beginning of the 90s there were a lot of expectations in regard to DC-nets, considered to be a way better alternative to remailers of the time [1]. At least that's my impression after reading Tim May's FAQ (The Cyphernomicon) [2]. Any progress on this front?

• A list of SaaS, PaaS and IaaS offerings that have free tiers of interest to devops and infradev

  This is the first time in this space that a compiler is conducting a competitive audit contest! I strongly recommend reading my article as a preparation for the upcoming Vyper compiler audit contest: https://hackmd.io/@pcaversaccio/how-vyper-compiles-into-bytecode.

• A currently maintained fork of SSHFS

  I think SFTP is a good but underrated protocol, when mirroring a file tree bidirectionally makes more sense than cloning one to another. Having forked and studied from SSHFS' code, I am currently maintaining a list of resources and some personal thoughts on https://hackmd.io/@q/sftp-over-ws. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Firefox Finally Outperforming Google Chrome in SunSpider

  Thanks for the mention! Capyloon (https://capyloon.org) had a grant from Protocol Labs (the IPFS stewards) in 2022 so we focused quite a bit on that indeed. We learned a lot - especially about the maturity and usability of the IPFS stack. I'm still very bullish on the dWeb pieces: content based addressing, UCANs (https://ucan.xyz/) for distributed auth, new web app models (https://hackmd.io/@robin-berjon/tiles) to... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
