For whatever it's worth, I think your comment would be a whole lot more convincing without its first and last lines, which had the effect of making you sound (at least to me) like you're shallowly dismissing the article.

The author describes that site as such, which seems fair to rate as "terrible": > Some youtube downloader site. Has lots of assurances that the website and the tool are safe because they've been checked by "Norton Saf

Yes, absolutely, in my neighborhood in Manhattan, all the time; it's honestly one of the most pleasant things about this place. They're usually in small groups, and almost never "glued to screens", for what it's wor

It's been a rough couple years as a Fitbit user; ever since the acquisition, Google's been slowly but surely shuttering the service piece by piece, and pretty much everyone can see that Google's only interested in pushing the

I don't think any of us can know for sure, since the classification and sentiment analysis were both performed by an LLM, and I'm not seeing validation of the results by the author. You can imagine certain security/cryptograp

Funnily enough, it means both; the author's classifier lumps cryptography articles in with cryptocurrency (search for "homomorphic encryption"): https://github.com/corbt/hn-analysis/blob/main&#x

Is it just me, or does the article not show how posts were classified as AI vs crypto? I see that they "use an LLM" but don't see a code snippet describing how, or an attempt at assessing error rates, which seems like a basic

You've accused the researchers twice now of exaggerating the importance of the vulnerabilities they found. This comment is almost entirely unresponsive to the comment you're replying to, which states: > You can, according to th

Reading this article, it seems to me that the only evidence we have of a launch is one guy telling us he did it, and... neglected to do any sort of measurement / recording? The whole thing is suspiciously light on any sort of confirm-a

Thank you for the clarification! Appreciate the candor here re: Element not being able to afford audits on its own. I get now why you might perceive commentary about security research as an existential threat. For whatever it's worth,

This is an interesting question. Doesn't Signal rather famously not track anything about who you're talking to? Reputational damage to Signal's brand aside, I expect it'd be hard to sell advertisers on a black hole.

As noted in the article, the reporter confirmed out-of-band via email the day afterwards.

This assumption isn't true, though. APIs routinely get changed in minor versions, which can make it non-trivial to upgrade large codebases that use lots of features.

I think asking him to refute points gets to the heart of the issue -- in an environment where nobody has enough information to speak authoritatively on a subject, the people who are willing to do so anyways are advantaged. (Think about the

Definitely an amen to wanting the full transcript of the interview. It does appear that they did a brief rapid-fire response segment and published it in a separate article, though: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=133781

This is what surprises me about the interview. I was under the impression that, given his interest in politics, he was pretty well-informed. But his answers here are consistent with someone who knows very little about the topics he's b

Oh, I wasn't aware that I was implying that the current administration is without problems. I'm just really surprised at Thiel's answers in this interview.

To me, he comes off here as completely uninformed about virtually every subject in which he is interviewed. I'm not sure why he'd agree to an interview if he wasn't going to do _some_ preparation. Just look at this trainwreck

Having been through the opposite extreme, where a coworker refused to code review and constantly merged buggy code with no comment, I have to say that I definitely appreciate it when someone cares enough to pore over code I've written
