I mean that question seriously. I barely know who Gruber is. Do you guys just make shit up as you go along? And then delete people for it? Really?

As it's been a week now without answer from you - I'm going to have to assume you're refusing to answer. Which means it's very likely you never did ask to see the rejection letter. Which means you did not do the most b

Ummm... this seems entirely irrelevant to our discussion. Our discussion was almost a week ago, is lying dormant, and is completely unrelated to what you just posted. I'm having a hard time understanding how you could have made such an

Actually - I hardly know of Gruber - other than he's widely read. I recognize the layout of his blog, which means I must have seen it before. Is that what you mean? Wait - does this mean that HN censors people based on the hunches of

No. Issues don't need to be exploited to exist. As long as the exploit is possible security is impaired. This is not controversial. In the least.

Possibly. Do you have agents? Pull my repo and ask them to see if they can see any bugs in Donkey Kong.

The author claims that software has become no more secure - despite the avalanche of security fixes appearing for all software everywhere. Never mind the more subtle issues.

The most interesting thing I've found so far is the anti-tampering mechanisms. In Time Pilot - there are three routines that are called constantly from inside the main loop. Each routine computes the checksum of the other routine&#x27

I'm working on getting the "handholding" down to zero. Frogger is almost done and I haven't had to intervene once.

I've had a lot of success decompiling old video game ROMs in exactly this way. Like you say - give it a way of verifying correctness - put it in a loop - and they are quite surprising. https://github.com/qarl/arca

i'm realizing that this whole site is suffering from what could be called AI witch-hunting. i think that's what's going on here. very odd. hopefully it will go away soon.

Consider: If you want to record the motion of the planets, naively you have large tables of positions. To compress that, you may smoothly interpolate sparse positions. To compress that, you encode the laws of gravity and simulate from a sta

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree, my friend. You have a nice day.

No - really - my question here is an important one. If you did not ask for the rejection letter - that would indicate that you didn't even do the most basic checking to determine the facts. And that would seriously color your statement

Good. Because it seems pretty obvious that the algorithm profoundly influences awareness.

So you deny the algorithm profoundly influences awareness then?

I am making the fairly obvious point that Americans don't care about the Cubans like they did the Palestinians, despite the fact that the Cubans are directly suffering under the Americans, and in the case of the Palestinians it was ind

So where are the street protests for Cuba then? I marched for Gaza three times. I haven't seen a single one for Cuba. I'm not saying empathy is a Chinese psyop. The empathy is real. But empathy requires awareness - and awarene

Not really - China doesn't care about other nuisance issues. Look at how the TikTok kids (who went nuts for the Palestinians) don't give a crud about the Cubans.

Heh. The HN hivemind insists on censoring me without discussion. Does this seems like rational behavior, guys? Surely if I'm doing something wrong you can explain it to me with words, right? EDIT: WOW - the whole thread has been remov

Fair enough. Did you ask him for the full rejection letter? That's the issue I raised below. I'm wondering if he forged the app name. It seems like the situation still remains a little ambiguous - and forging the name on that le

My dear friend, both questions are asking about the same ratio, just using different language.

> We got a full-throated retraction. Not really. When he says "I was misled" he's passing the blame. Other statements are equally defensive. Notice how the retractions of larger publications do not make similar claims.

by qarl2 2mo ago
No. You misunderstand my question. Again. I want to know if the human effort, per story, is the same as other publications. Does Gruber make a real fact checking effort, or does he merely trust his gut?
