I do some occasional tool and game programming for 8-bit machines for fun because it's so close to the metal and different from modern software development. It has nothing to do with feeling older or younger. I also despise forced anac

This is like asking for the title of the Bible after a psalm was quoted on a forum for religion. It's "The Art of Computer Programming", volume 3 (Sorting and searching) by Donald Knuth. HTH

lol, your "irl examples" are fantasies, made up on the spot by you to support your own made-up claim that "Success rarely comes from what we aim for". You should at least google some of the existing but exceedingly rare

Privacy, freedom, huge selection of models, no censorship, higher flexibility, and it's free as in beer.

In the second example charging 28% more for 90% less traffic, starting in 3 days. That's straight up illegal in some parts of the world, but apparently not in the US?

I already have the minimal number of features in my new tab in Firefox and I didn't even need to install a 3rd party addon: it's called "Blank page", you can find it in the settings.

Yes, but. It's not "happy survivor stories", as if 20% of all children died on their way to school thirty years ago. It's overwhelmingly normal stories, and child deaths were always exceedingly rare.

Make a userscript that adds the checkbox and inserts a marker in the user's comments. Add the option to hide anything that doesn't include the confirmation marker. That way you only have to interact with the best, most diligent us

It's basically autocomplete, spellcheck and refactoring, just based on a new technical approach. Those are not new or unusual features for a text editor.

Finally, the highly reputable science publication LA Times provides proof that LLMs are in fact large language models, rather than large math solvers or large fact models.

My response remains the same: There's no need to publish the victim's name on a website for the whole world to see.

I've seen people on HN and Reddit discussing this strategy, so he likely picked it up from the internet rather than being a genius.

You can get a court involved. Or you, the accused, could simply ask Github for the identity of the claimant. Publishing private details of everyone involved on some website, for everyone to see, is not a prerequisite for due legal process.

by elpocko 2y ago
They do reveal their identity to the court, just not to any Joe Shmoe who stole their work, or to any rando who's looking at a Github repo.

And Github does not seem to be violating DMCA when they redact the claimant's real name for good reasons. So all is well, I guess? You can request the data from the courts, or whatever. It's not Github's job.

No need. Github is already doing the right thing by protecting the victims by not publicly doxxing them by default, because that would be insane. Sucks for you guys I guess.

by elpocko 2y ago
I'm not in the US, and we do not punish victims by publishing their names for everyone to see while keeping the perpetrator unnamed. Our system is much better than yours, we still have a basic notion of privacy and victim protection. C

Maybe the person who infringed on my rights can know. In some cases, as long as my right to privacy is guaranteed to be respected. That doesn't mean that the entire world is entitled to know my real name via Github's issue tracker
