The tail end of HN hearkens to the good old days of the Sun as it aimlessly courses the void in a pod metaphorical to itself. He'll be fine.

Yeah, that misses my point. But enjoy the wheel if you wish. Anyone that can say what you've said to me, simply doesn't care about anything I have to say.

Anthropic (and Google) now embed information in text, via 256bit keys, word selection, or whatever. But I wonder what the potential for theoretical abuse is here. Encrypting prompt injections, for any conceivable purpose seems a lot more vi

If we were to focus on principle over scale, could we not name many others involved in similar practices, from each 'side' and in between the shitstick? And should we not do so? In a way, it seems somewhat signaling that the prece

For those not afraid to apply some imagination, things could continue in this direction in other fields too. I think this is a glimpse of future compute, in general.

Can this not be used in law as legitimate and justifiable motive for evading ICE? People have a right to fear being tortured. They may as well start wearing skulls on their uniforms at this point. Wise people have been saying for decades th

So a chemist and his student walk into a bar. The chemist says "I'll have an H2O" Bartender says, "fine. What'll it be for you, young man?" Student says "I'll have an H2O too" And dies.

Thankfully most of us have a provenance detector attached to our faces. If you've ever worked with freshly harvested produce, the aroma is, well... distinct, which most store-shelf products aren't. Not preferable, but a semi-relia

Would that be partly affected by shifting/rotating keys?

Based on two years of research and patterning, while not dedicated strictly to accountability, I've found a lot of repeatable signals that for me, show these systems are designed with maximum plausible deniability as a primary featur

pstuart covered the cetacean bit better than I could have. On the simulation question... Not much, but we have a long way to go before any answers arise there. I could offer my insight on the subject, but aside from being sicker than usual

I read Lilly's Programming and Meta programming in the Human Biocomputer as a young man. Left me with a lot of questions, etc. That you replied to this post, indicates you may be familiar with Lilly? Anyway, if you have any published w

Bruce Lee cracked his knuckles a lot, and he died in his 30s. He was in great shape too. But I think it's mostly just escaping gases. Edit: ^ is my way of asking why this is on HN, which I never do, cause then someone could ask the sam

Taiwan should save it's energy and effort. Why would they need war drills? Certainly not for China. Taiwan has no ally. The US just squandered its arsenal on phantom nukes and proved itself unreliable to the world. There seems no chanc

That falls into the general category of 'authority groping' (yes, I coin my own terms) where a prediction engine without real reasoning, must apply numerous tricks to convey confidence, authority and substance where there may be l

I think I get your point; that the inverse of corrupt (I call it fake) capitalism is not necessarily communism, or something reactive. It might just be a system that works better, even if we have not named it yet...

Alignment is a very big word, and naturally it will miss some things. Institutional alignment is where I think the general path becomes more clear, and from thereon, I see no option for correcting. I see the best-case-scenario future as a r

Man, I totally get the foul sentiment, but I know myself pretty well, and I did a lot of research and learning prior to LLMs. Being ill, I have trouble retaining it though. An LLM, in seconds, can elaborate and remind me of thousands of thi

Strange that you say this. 90% of my Claude Sonnet 5 sessions are vicious arguments. Now 4.6, that could be if I allowed it, but then we are arguing about whether it's being sycophantic or not, a third of the time. At least I can explo

No shit. Rather than ask my myself WTF I was paying attention to, I went with it. What a different perspective than the original content... Edit: Hell of a track for the The Square too. Never heard Fever Ray before.

I have been getting flagged or near-flagged on many of my comments lately, so I will keep it short. Approximately a year ago, perhaps closer to two, I posted an Ask HN[0]. You can either review the post, or take my word for it, but I was to

I'm accused of being "way too defensive". For those who would consider this, tick "show dead" and review my comment history. Yes, you will find some slop, often a result of that implied above, but you will find quit

It's a Thiel product, and the subject here is Palantir and media. Ideological adjacencies in media affairs seems relevant to me at such high levels of influence and power integrations. But I must ask: in the anti eth0 club, or is this

Let's also remember: https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/15/can-ai-judge-journalism-a-... Objection (objection.ai), which proposes to apply AI to “adjudicate the truth of journalism.” Pay $2,000 to contest al

My thought exactly. I began rapidly recalling the hundreds of sources foreseeing this well in advance, citing it, raising alarm, and being ignored. I guess we are supposed to take numbers at face value, disregard what generated them and why

Thanks for having the courage to write this. Remember, the YouTube sensation, who made a Covid vaccine in his kitchen? Your concerns are grievously undermined.
