The recital by Christopher Eccleston is more dramatic.

Human writes the requirements, contains flaw. Human or AI translate that to specifications, and eventually code.

It does not matter if the middle man is human or AI, or written in "traditional language" or "formal verification". Bugs will be there as human failed to defined a bullet proof requirements.

> 2,863 Live Keys on the Public Internet

It will be more interesting if they scan GitHub code instead. The number terrified me. Though I am not sure how many of that are live.


2k feels very small considering the number of business sites that embed Google Maps. I guess a lot of those sites use other website building services that handle the Google API keys for them, and/or they're old and untouched enough that no one enabled Gemini on them.

I had the same thought. I guess a lot of those keys may belong to dormant/deleted accounts and only a % of people who have enabled Gemini (presumably it required user action)

I did. Specifically the part about "When you enable the Gemini API". This doesn't take into account that people may have had years old forgotten about other services they use.

Either way it requires action, there is nothing to presume about that

Fair enough. It's a reasonable expectation of someone that enabled Google maps 15 years ago that enables Gemini 6 months not to understand the fundamentals of how Google treats their keys. If it wasn't explained on the enabling Gemini screen, what do you expect the user to do.

Totally agreed. But it clearly requires user action. I have some old projects that only use Google Maps for websites and that wouldn't magically be impacted. Google needs to do better though

Below are a few valid reason to increase the price a software company charge their customer.

1. R&D 2. Increase salary 3. Increase OpEx


Fixing the problem requires 2 resources, the knowhow and the money. People need to know how to execute it safely, and people need to have the disposable income to run their PDS.

Even for tech people in HN, not everyone will have the disposable income to self-hosted every digital life lands on. Somehow, somewhere one may need to use free services paid by VC money.


Surely Addy Osmani can code. Even he suggests plan first.

This only reinforce the image, software/hardware from China and no ethics. They will do whatever they can to get hold of their user's info.

I'm still baffled why you don't see JavaScript is fast, but how page rendered is the issue.


I’m baffled you don’t believe in benchmarks, but, uh.


Speaking about benchmark.

Node vs Lua shows Node faster than Lua. https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

Node vs C, only 4 to 5 times slower. https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

Looking at its root, it is not too bad as a JIT compiled language.


Now, instead-of hand-written vector instructions, look at programs transliterated line-by-line literal style into different programming languages from the same original:

“Only” 5 times slower? Imagine if every website that takes 10 seconds to load instead took 2 seconds…


You know that CPU-bound performance would take a really small fragment of those straw man 10 seconds loading a page, right?


If you think 10 seconds is a strawman, clearly you haven’t used sites like GitHub on a cheap device.


But that's not the javascript, it's how it's used (react or whatever)

You can write terrible non-performant code in assembly and C, and perfectly speedy pages in html and javascript (say the page you're on at the moment).

You wouldn't write a new cutting edge video codec in javascript - not one you wanted to use anyway - but given that we had performant guis running on 286s at 12MHz, Javascript being 1/10th the speed of C isn't the problem.


Case in point, github is server side rendered. I don't think it uses any client side framework.


Try opening it with JavaScript disabled and you will see exactly how much is server-side rendered.


> “Only” 5 times slower? Imagine if every website that takes 10 seconds to load instead took 2 seconds…

All you need to know about the level of knowledge of average JS hater/muh native performance.



life finds a way ?


Self hosting could be an option, but it does not help when a country require you to identify if a user is adult or not.


Doesn't self hosting usually exempt you? Most such regulations only apply to commercial entities above some minimum user count.

While I personally strongly favor federated solutions those are of significantly more concern in this regard.


Good luck telling a FOSS project what to do. At the very least you'd have to pay for the work and it seems to me they could claim whatever price they want.
