Traffic still goes through it. A seeder attaches and says "I am here and have these hashes". The a leecher connects and says "who has these hashes". So yes, data "goes through it". Do you think law enforceme

“ APNIC's research group held the IP addresses 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1. While the addresses were valid, so many people had entered them into various random systems that they were continuously overwhelmed by a flood of garbage traffic. APNI

I'm well aware of how trackers and torrents work. But again, do you think law enforcement understands the nuance of that? Also the government and private companies have argued in the past that the hashes and lists of peers is induceme

This doesn't show the whole picture. YEs, I have super reliable high speed internet in my house. But I do about 1/2 of my interneting on my mobile phone. And despite living in Silicon Valley with 5G, it's totally unreliabl

Of course not. But first a copyright holder tells the police, and then the police enforce it. The police rarely find crimes on their own -- they are almost always acting on a request from someone else.

This is like when cloudflare picked up the IP address 1.1.1.1. They saw a ton of traffic to it as soon as it went hot, because a bunch of people had scripts pointing at it.

Do you think the police understand this nuance? Especially since most of the traffic that will go through there is probably copyright infringement? They'll just see tracker and assume it's illegal.

Curious, when you tell someone they need to access a website securely (or any other case where you might use the term TLS or SSL), do you: 1. Say SSL or TLS? 2. How old are you (or did you start working before 1999?) I'll reply with my

That loop is still there. They have to get the AI to write the right code. And beyond that, do they really need to understand how it works? I never learned how to calculate logarithms by hand, but I know what they are for and I know when

If I were a professor, I would make my homework start the same -- here is a problem to solve. But instead of asking for just working code, I would create a small wrapper for a popular AI. I would insist that the student use my wrapper to c

In playing with this it was unclear to me how this differs from a pre-programmed 3d world with bit mapped walls. What is the AI adding that I wouldn't get otherwise?

Indeed. A few times now I've needed a quick computer part and been sad that there wasn't a place to get it. Apparently there is a line around the block at Microcenter right now, so it looks like we weren't the only ones who

Usually by Series C, you're at a point where you could be breakeven or profitable, but it's because you're tackling a huge market with a lot of opportunities, so it makes sense to take on capital to accelerate growth to attac

Well the side effect of everyone playing nice with Putin is that he's most likely a multi-billionaire, possibly even in the top 10 richest in the world. It's billionaires helping billionaires.

They have nuclear bombs. A lot of them. And the person who controls them has little to lose in using them. So we have to be nice and keep that person happy.

Fair question. I use HN Replies, which emails me when people reply to me. On my computer, if I click the link in the email, it opens in Chrome. But on my computer my normal browser for HN is Safari. I use separate browsers for different

With piracy they make nothing, so they'd still make more than they make today. Almost all of the pirates are people trying to watch from outside the coverage area. It's not like stopping piracy gets those people to pay. They jus

Sure, but I use at least five different browsers for HN, some on my phone. That’s a huge pain. Being able to check a profile box would be a lot easier.

Follow user is antithetical to the idea of HN -- content should be upvoted because of what it says, not who said it. But I agree dark mode would be nice.

We have thought harder. We know the solution. But you have to trade off privacy for security. It's having every person get a cryptographic key from the government to identify themselves. Some states are trying this now with porn sit

That's precisely the problem. Everyone gets a different experience. No shared cultural experience. Until recently, everyone in the same village/town/city/country had the same experience, and could talk about it.
