Help me build a better bot blockerhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49265322I got annoyed enough with bot blockers making me wait several seconds to access a site or go through a CAPTCHA, that I decided to make something better.I'm doing bot filtering/blocking using only Apache config options. I started with a basic filter that blocks HTTP clients that don't support HTTP/2.0, and clients that don't support brotli. To ensure clients don't just spoof brotli support, the root index.html is only available in brotli. I'm planning to add a hidden link to a brotli bomb, since it compresses much better than gzip. A 1GB ASCII repeating sequence compresses to under 1kB. My site has low traffic, under 10k hits per day. With the h2 & br filters active for 2 days, no malicious bot crawlers are getting through.I'd like to increase bot traffic to around 100k hits per day to help test the filters. Any suggestions on how? Perhaps just posting the site here will attract bots: https://solarsi.ca/My intention is a false positive rate of under 0.1%.

Show HN: Get an email when Dario Amodei (or 230 others) gives an interviewhttps://recordal.appI follow a handful of people to understand how they are thinking about the future. I kept finding out weeks later that one of them had sat for an interview somewhere. Subscribing to and tracking tons of YouTube channels and podcasts is a waste of time. So I built Recordal (https://recordal.app/). Pick the people you like and get an email when they do a new interview.The hard part was filtering out news coverage, SEO junk, and re-hosted copies of the original. Nothing is ranked or recommended; the email is chronological.230+ people are tracked so far. If someone you follow is missing, tell me, and I'll add them. I would love any kind of feedback!Aug 11, 2026 8:41 PM

Tell HN: Striking a Balance Between Stating Your Requirements and Griefershttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49261515The frontier models have become very capable, so that I'm able to give advanced algorithms and tasks for them to complete autonomously. These sometimes go over the heads of low-IQ bullies who dropped out of their computer science courses because they were too difficult, and went into a career in bullying programmers.I've noticed that when I make my intention and acceptance criteria very clear to the models, sometimes it's the only part the griefers understand, since the computer science portion goes over their heads. So they focus their bullying on just breaking the intention and final result, whatever is actually truly important.This puts programmers like me in the awkward position of either talking to the models without telling the models the final intention or reason, i.e. the acceptance criteria, or risk putting it in plain language so the model knows it, but then allowing a bully to fuck that one thing up because it's the only thing they understand, not understanding data structurAug 11, 2026 5:23 PM
