I would probably use one of the suggestions built in Firefox (Cloudflare, NextDNS) or Chrome (Cloudflare, Google, DNS4EU, OpenDNS, CleanBrowsing).

Gemini 4 Argon (High) looks comparable to Claude Opus 5.5 (High). https://artificialanalysis.ai/models/comparisons/gemini-4-ar... From that perspective, the benchmark is not too disappointing, given that there are only 8 days between the blog posts (September 30 vs. September 22).

The group is not afraid, but the individuals who got charged probably stopped all black-hat activity: there was an individual in his early twenties who "was sentenced to three years in prison and ordered to return $5 million", which is life-changing to say the least.

> Very interesting, potentially useful. But if doesn't spit up exactly what you want can't edit it further.

DALL-E 2 spits as many outputs as you want. Then you choose the one you prefer.

This situation becomes obvious when you want to use the search box to retrieve old conversations. I use Discord every day, so I fall in the first category in your post. However, every time I try to find an old conversation, Discord UX and search engine make it super hard, if not downright impossible. I can feel the pain of a user who would have just arrived on the server.

Somehow, I missed that. Thanks! I did not realize logging was part of the demo. :D

> I work at a company with >1000 google workspace users.

> That's enough that someone at Google will acknowledge what you're reporting is a bug on their end, and that they can reproduce it. But it's not enough to get the bug fixed.

I will try to remember that the next time I deal with an open-source project, either as a user raising an issue, or as a project contributor helping solve such issues.

Often, we do not realize how lucky we are that contributors to open-source projects help fix the bugs which we report.

These two people are respectively 22 and 28 years old. They have spent their time in cyber-crime environments since their teenage years.

Respectively, a third of his life for the first one, and half of his life for the second one. And that is a lower bound.

The first one had an account on a cybercrime forum 8 years ago, so he was 14!

> These last two nicknames correspond to accounts on several top cybercrime forums way back in 2013.

The second one had an account 13 years ago, so he was 15. Wow!

> [T]hat forum’s database says a user by the name “Damnating” registered with the forum in 2008.

It is clear by the mention of "several orders of magnitude" that we are talking about a database which fits in a few MB of disk space on a machine with a few GB of RAM.

If the interviewee has never worked with a database which would fit in the memory of the machine, and if the company only deals with such databases, then it is clear that it was not a good fit. Failing the interview does not mean that the interviewee is bad, just that they don't know how to count that low, and thus were not the person for the job.

Basically, you are presented with a small-scale (possibly toy) problem: the database consists of 50k entries and fits in 3 MB of disk space.

Then the interviewee starts wondering out loud whether he could load it in full on a machine with 8 GB of RAM.
