You must be young. In time, you will see that it's the general model for how things work throughout the system. Double standards. From LE, Banking, Industry, Mil, to the piratebay -- it's the inverted pyramid of power. Look around

I see this comment has made someone angry, but it may be the most plausible answer anyway. DuckDuckGo over-affiliates results with user-IPs, which is why I often don't use it. Not because of 'privacy', but because when I sear

Aside from a gratifying term, perhaps the absence of thumbnails, icons, or whatever you call those favicon buggers that distract from the important part of the search results?

If it's a real thing, no. I have been trying for far too long to stay vegetarian (ethical, not health), and doing poorly. I also don't do much dining. There was a 'fancy' burger place around FL for a while, named Square

Respectfully, allow me to make subtle, but not insubstantial correction: "“a hamburger is healthier than salmon”" to “a hamburger is healthier than farm raised salmon” That holds closer to the actual context. I admit, the ultima

Gee, you might want to look in the mirror of your own words: " upvote " How would suppressing upvotes solve the occasional appropriately hostile comment to other hostile comments? That does not even make sense, just as the mythi

Appreciated, and I apologize not to the target-audience for my other vulgar comment, but to yourself and anyone else who may disagree with me, but at least has the dignity to stand by reason. One has to wonder why anyone would want to make

Pardon, but how the hell is my hamburger packed with preservatives? And how, other than grinding, is it ultra processed, especially if the beef was given to me by a local rancher? I do not understand? And where the hell did the corn syrup c

...."no matter how obvious those should be in cell tower, Flock camera, and other data that they supposedly have handy......" I think there is a lot, and I mean a LOT, of overlooked potential data here. I frequently say the same t

Not sure what year it was produced, but I am running Void Linux on an old Macbook Air. Resume from suspend is buggy, and Linux touchpad support is atrocious (I use synclient to help) but otherwise, I really dig it.

Too soon, I think. It's the curse of exponential progress. AI has the potential to help solve the world's problems, from engineering, medicine, to philosophy. But it will be abused. And in the fight to 'secure' it, will

I'd say you have a solid point or two there.

I appreciate the unusually friendly comment. I tend to look forward a lot, enough that I often miss my own nose. But there is implausible credit due there. I say that not to be humble, but because think I know the reason, which isn't a

Man, that is a little treasure. And a modest tribute to the majesty of good Ramen. I actually ran yt-dlp on that one... I am existentially opposed to, among a completely unreasonable large number of things, eating. I am often embarrassed to

I have a little script (also visible in my comment history) which (respectfully) scrapes the algolia side of HN, and dumps the entire comment history of mortal users. As noted, it will break on legends, ie Thomas's, certain Books, etc,

Identify themselves as LE, and of course physically represent as such, unambiguously, then demand the person put down the firearm. "Active Shooter" has no meaning just because the word is used. Also consider what everyone long for

It is almost certainly not the worst. And with the reckless/wanton damage the US is doing to civilian infrastructure in Iran, I think the only sane position is to brace for something much worse, inevitably. The CIA and many independent

No. The journalist who wrote the linked story, and covered a verifiable topic. Do you object to the personality, the face, the name, or the data? Please address the actual subject and data presented here, and save the ad hominems for later,

I will tell you this, and if you fund the polygraph, I will take an MRI too: I cannot get an honest conversation from any US AI in July 2026. However, all the things I cannot discuss with our four frontier champion shill models, I can with

I've been casually documenting, or studying, the astonishing sophistication of built-in, preemptive, reactive, and all around maximization of plausible deniability in frontier models. On the surface, it may seem "no shit, duh&quot

This is a forbidden subject here. In my opinion, the foremost subject in the entire world, but for whatever reason seldom discussed and always dismissed. All four frontier models contracted with the Pentagon. Claude already having been invo

I love art, and I have a particular weakness for the style of art you're using for the project. Not sure if you'd give a fig, but I have bookmarked it just to watch. I guess there will always be something new, and live humans are
