CNN caught up and has posted the same pictures. NYPost these days isn't an outrageous tabloid like people say. "Page Six" is which is related to them. The news they post is generally right leaning version of CNN these days.

Visited Iran twice. They had a huge billboard that says “Down with USA”. However that sentiment is nowhere to be found in the individual-level interactions during my stay there.

So essentially - it only works with Latin script? Because without fonts, every other script is NOT going to render.

They’ve done a dip-in-a-toe thing many times, then gave up.

If I was in charge of a business, and I’m an Apple fan, I wouldn’t touch them. I’d have no faith they’re in it for the long term. I think that would be a common view.


how many changes(% of all changes) need an entire infra stack spun up? have you tried just having the changes deployed to dev with a locking mechanism?

I just learned this one, and am gradually starting to use it! It applies for loops too. I saw it in ChatGPT code, and had to stop and look it up. Rust is a big language, for worse and for better.

It is, but that doesn't bring value for the owners on its own. Something else has to exist on top, or you'd have to run the service and moderation on donations. The forum on its own has negative value.

6 alphanumeric, case insensitive characters only allow for about 2 billion unique combinations. I’d have guessed there were more reservations made than that?

Or are PNR locators recycled after a while?


> We trained users to treat their devices like unruly animals that they can never quite trust. So now the idea of a machine that embodies a more clever (but still unreliable) animal to wrangle sounds like a clear upgrade.

I wish I didn't agree with this, but I think you're exactly right. Even engineers dealing with systems we know are deterministic will joke about making the right sacrifices to the tech gods to get such-and-such working. Take that a step further and maybe it doesn't feel too bad to some people for the system to actually not be deterministic, if you have a way to "convince" it to do what you want. How depressing.


That's my take. I break the DRM off books I've bought. I own those copies. I'll format shift them for my own convenience. Bought on Kindle but want to read on my Kobo? It's impossible to make me feel guilt about that.

But I don't read books I haven't legally acquired, whether through a paid bookstore, or temporarily borrowed via Libby, or Standard Ebooks or whatever. I won't yell at other people for doing that, but I don't do it myself. In a nutshell, I follow the same rules as with physical books I own (or temporarily possess).


a perfect example in this context would be when a company is successful and it's attributed to culture not product market fit, funding or luck

And asbestos just gives you a little cough. If I weren't already so cynical, this entire thread would certainly do it. You people are so goddamn dismissive in the most repulsive, condescending way.

They also support Group Policy and JSON based configurations, depending on the OS. So you could install a config that disables a lot of that before you even install the Brave Browser.

Heck, they could probably sell that as a premium/business feature for extra funding (hint hint if anyone from Brave reads this).


Hi can someone explain how to create a wallet drainer

Two things that are as (maybe more) important to me as server location are the data use restrictions and the profit model of the site. If (for example) Kamunity explicitly said that data would not be sold, and was explicitly a non-profit I'd be more interested. Wikipedia and Mastodon have their problems, but at least there's not an obvious need for them to exploit their users to make money.

I wasn’t aware. It’s kind of useful to imagine a world where those products and the backing of Amazon. I’m not familiar with the market, but I can imagine availability of cheap competitors was the proximate cause of this company’s demise.

> closing off their escape route and de-facto enforcing the sell-off to the Chinese.

There was only one escape route? And it happened to be the one they selected themselves? That seems dubious.

> organizations that have expressly indicated that they want to break up the big companies

We literally have laws which _require_ them to do this. This isn't ideological targeting it's the consequence of the "due care clause" of the constitution. You should ask why previous iterations of the FTC have ignored this responsibility not why the one in question actually tried to live up to it.

> A simple "Request For Evidence".

These are publicly traded corporations not hapless individuals.

> I also suspect there is a partisan slant to this.

You've tried to obscure yours but I suspect the same thing of you.

> You operate in the fog of war.

This is goalpost shifting to the level of propaganda. You operate in a market. If you fail your assets will be auctioned off. The death of a corporation is a natural consequence of the system we've developed. It's required. It caries none of the weight of the death of an individual or of war.

> We could easily be telling a different tale if the bet paid off.

> In 2022, one cannot go back to the 2010s and repair whatever bad business decisions have been made.

This seems contradictory. We could easily be telling a different tale if the 2010s played out differently; however, as you say, one cannot go back.


The 'we' is doing a lot of work there. 'You' might know, but many do not and explicitly have different views. An example thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46330028

Excellent feedback. I'll have a look at the running of html5lib tests again.

I thought you were going to point how this phrase (and others) make it painfully obvious this article was written by AI.

FWIW, NYPost is also characteristically sensationalist. A lot of the stuff in that feed isn't super salient or necessarily incriminating.

Chomsky Hierarchy pertains to "languages" defined in the theory of computation: i.e., it is a subset of the set of all finite sequence of alphabets (for some fixed notion of "alphabets"). If a sentence (a particular finite sequence of alphabets) is in the subset, then it is a "valid" sentence of the language. Otherwise it is invalid.

It should be already clear from this that this notion of language is rather different from natural languages. For example, if there is a formal language that contains "Good morning" and "My hovercraft is full of eels" as valid sentences, then nothing distinguishes these sentences any more. (Of course you could add annotations and build semantic values but they are not essential to the discussion of formal languages.)

It gets a bit more ridiculous when you try to connect LLMs to the Chomsky hierarchy. Modern LLMs do not really operate on the principle of "is this a valid sentence?" yet provide vastly superior results when it comes to generating naturally sounding sentences.

I think LLMs have put an end to any hope that formal language theory (in the style of Chomsky Hierarchy) will be relevant to understanding human languages.


China is not murdering millions of people halfway across the globe on a regular basis. Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, everything Israel touches with our bombs...

Is it possible to implement something similar but with a protocol that supports compression? Can we have a zip bomb but with a compressed http response that gets decompressed on the client? There are many protocols that support compression in some way.

exactly

That's a really cool concept. Naively replacing words might work, but sometimes the context is needed. Maybe a model like gemini 2.5 flash lite would be fast enough but still maintain better context awareness?

If I saw these levels loading in the browser as a teenager I would freak out! GTA? NFS? Very cool!

More for the landfill I guess
