So we're worried about cops violating civil liberties by not getting a warrant, but we'd rather they go harass random (potentially innocent) civilians to do investigations?

Why dodge the question? Clearly they care today, and I live in today. If we're doing to defer to industry, does only the opinion of website operators matter, or do browsers and CAs matter too? Browsers and CAs tend to be pretty importa

But skills where you tell the LLM to shell out to some random command are safe? I'm not sure I understand the logic.

Would this article not be evidence the part of the industry that makes up the CA/B Forum (i.e. CAs and Browsers) disagree?

Is massive capital expenditure not also required to enforce the GPL? If some company steals your GPLed code and doesn't follow the license, you will have to sue them and somebody will have to pay the lawyers.

I don't know for sure because I don't live in Tampa, but it is generally free (minus the opportunity cost of your time) for these types of tickets, no lawyer or other expense required.

No, the real law is what's written by the Tampa/Florida legislature (or I guess you could say the "real real" law is judges' interpretations of what is written). While it may be inconvenient, if you are falsely issu

How would you find a government entity? This is just moving money from one government budget to another. The USPS is like this because of the persistent belief that it's not enough for government entities (think USPS, Amtrak, etc) to p

If you want to adopt this in your project, you can add a linter that explicitly bans innerHTML (and then go fix the issues it finds). Obviously Mozilla cannot magically fix the code of every website on the web but the tools exist for _your_

Not them but the formatting screams LLM to me. Random "bolding" (rendered on this website as blue text) of phrases, the heading layout, the lists at the end (bullet point followed by bolded text), common repeats of LLM-isms like &

To be fair, I should have said something like "claiming software has a health benefit based on vibes/feels". I personally prefer the look of night/dark mode (or whatever you call it) in apps and the browser, but I'm

I'm not an MD or expert in this field enough to know if OP is right or wrong, but I think it's fairly reasonable to be irritated people are claiming software has a health benefit based on vibes/feels. I thought we as a societ

Sandpit should be a personal (often local, if possible) dev environment. The reason people get mad about dev being broken for long periods of time is that they cannot use dev to test their changes if your code (that they depend on) is broke

I would not consider myself an expert on LLMs, at least not compared to the people who actually create them at companies like Anthropic, but I can have a go at a steelman: LLMs allow hostile actors to do wide-scale damage to society by sign

Obviously, if you could just delete the ads without changing anything else the world would be better, but that's not how it works. Lots of businesses sustain themselves on ad revenue - would the world be a better place if we had no ads

Also, anyone can flag a comment, not just the thread starter (I personally suspect flags from the thread starter are actually down-weighted). HN flagging is not meant to hide people you don't want to see reply to your comments, it is m

I'd recommend thinking of this (and other accident forgiveness schemes from competitors) as a gesture of goodwill that rarely happens rather than an official part of the billing policy. If you actually look at your contract, no cloud p

The trick of selling via Amazon is that although Amazon (and thus the government, if they subpoena'd that info) could easily see you're using Mullvad, they could not figure out which Mullvad account was yours.

Cloudflare's primary raison d'être is messing with the response they serve to users - to perform caching, to inject CAPTCHAs when they detect a DDoS attack, etc. If you don't trust Cloudflare to not abuse this to inject ads,

The difference is expectations - people buying professional cameras expect and are used to needing to buy additional gear. In this case, "shot on iPhone" is obviously intended to deceive consumers into believing something that isn

My understanding is that the original Internet Archive library worked under the 1:1 lending theory. Then, during COVID, they decided to open up what they called the "National Emergency Library", offering unlimited copies of the bo

Agreed, but I am not the original commenter, I am making my own point separately from them. I agree with you that Tesla isn't gaming anything by having a good airbag.

Tesla is not gaming the system by having a good airbag system that only deploys when necessary (that's actually really good!). Tesla is gaming the system by excluding accidents where the airbags don't deploy from the "Autopil

Wouldn't the most obvious method of cheating be the site owner peeking at other player's hands and/or the deck? Which this doesn't (and cannot) prevent? I guess I'm not sure what publicizing their PRNG is meant to p

Probably too unreliable to use in real life - for example, I suspect many crappy corporate proxies will block HTTP 103 responses as some unknown danger.
