New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: The ISP has a competing product so has decided to block my domain
Ask HN: The ISP has a competing product so has decided to block my domain

The ISP in my hometown (Albania + Kosovo) has decided to block my whole domain to my free legal streaming website because they also happen to offer IPTV services. I only found out after trying to access my site from Albania today, it just comes up with a “bad URL” request. The streams I serve on my site are public freely available TV channels, combined into a single page. Since EU laws do not apply to neither of these countries, is there any course of action I can take to prevent this sort of monopoly going on?

New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: How to build F-You Skills
Ask HN: How to build F-You Skills
25 by lakevieew | 18 comments on Hacker News.
The past few months have been stressful for most people in the tech industry owing to mass layoffs everywhere. Luckily, I survived the layoffs at my company. But I was very anxious during the period it was announced and it affected my mental health quite a bit. However, on talking to a few other engineers at my company, I realized not everyone was as stressed. They are confident in their skills to get a new equivalent job which would easily support their current lifestyle, even in the current market. They have what I would call, "F-You Skills - Enough skills to know that you would never have to worry about money in your life", a spin on the more commonly known term "F-You Money" [1]. I was wondering if HN users ever think of their own skills in this context. If yes, how should one go about building these skills. To be clear, I am not talking about interviewing skills, which are also equally important. But I am more interested in technical skills that people believe will easily fetch them "decent money" [2] in any scenario in the short term future. [1] F-You Money means "Enough money to leave one's job, etc. and enjoy the lifestyle of one's choice" https://ift.tt/XinzIwY [2] not insane money to retire early, but good enough to support their current lifestyle.

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Factual AI Q&A – Answers based on Huberman Lab transcripts
Show HN: Factual AI Q&A – Answers based on Huberman Lab transcripts

This is a quick prototype I built for semantic search and factual question answering using embeddings and GPT-3. It tries to solve the LLM hallucination issue by guiding it only to answer questions from the given context instead of making things up. If you ask something not covered in an episode, it should say that it doesn't know rather than providing a plausible, but potentially incorrect response. It uses Whisper to transcribe, text-embedding-ada-002 to embed, Pinecone.io to search, and text-davinci-003 to generate the answer. More examples and explanations here: https://twitter.com/rileytomasek/status/1603854647575384067

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Publish from GitHub Actions using multi-factor authentication
Show HN: Publish from GitHub Actions using multi-factor authentication
11 by varunsharma07 | 1 comments on Hacker News.
The backstory about this GitHub Action: I discussed with an open-source maintainer why they publish npm packages from their local machine and do not use CI/CD pipelines. They said publishing should require human intervention and want to continue using multi-factor authentication to publish to the npm registry. This led to building the wait-for-secrets GitHub Action. It prints a URL in the build log and waits for secrets to be entered using a browser. Once entered, the workflow continues, and secrets can be used in future steps. The latest release of "eslint-plugin-react" to the npm registry used a one-time password (OTP) from a GitHub Actions workflow! https://ift.tt/mDUVxIo...
