No. These resolvers only deal with rules disputes, i.e. disputes over the fine print. This is only applicable if you are gambling on polymarket. The probabilities while the market is open are set by market forces. Of course you have to read

Shield from what exactly? The Linux kernel is not a legal entity. It's a collection of contributions from various contributors. There is the Linux Foundation but they do not own Linux. If Linux were to contain 3rd party copyrighted cod

This rules out entire classes of app and would make using a computer a miserable experience. For example let's say you want to make an app that every day writes a backup to a particular location e.g. 1Password can do a daily backup of

The US Department of Peace has also been outright murdering civilians aboard vessels in international waters, including double tap strikes intended to murder the wounded. It's not the bait on HN that you need to be worried about but th

Most of the time when I'm using Claude my working tree is already dirty because I'm mid-task. I usually try to do a throwaway commit before every interaction with Claude, but it's easy to forget, or to leave the "accept

I don't often praise Apple, but their kernel hardening on macOS has been in the form of a deliberate, decades-long plan to move kernel extensions to userspace by providing the appropriate SDKs. Meanwhile Microsoft is running around lik

I'm amused by this saga. Wireguard is working just fine on my machines (Linux and Mac). Apparently nobody at Microsoft considered that blocking critical software hurts Microsoft more than the open source developers being blocked.

Technically, nothing. But psychologically git commits represent a unit of completed work, whereas with AI agents what's needed is a kind of agent-wise undo history such that you can revert back to the state of the repo 1 minute ago bef

I neither want the article to be wrong nor right. I don't care who Satoshi is. The article is written as if it's by some crazed conspiracy theorist. It's dripping with confirmation bias at every turn. Tiny coincidences are se

If Mr Carreyrou is such a good writer then he should be embarrassed to publish trash: > In keeping with this belief, Mr. Back made his Hashcash spam-throttling software open source. > Satoshi did a similar thing. He released the Bitco

Stop supporting Windows as well. Open source developers are doing Microsoft a big favor when they support Windows and publish Windows builds and installers. It's a substantial effort, and apparently that effort isn't appreciated.

The US military is a paper tiger. All of the planes, ships and missiles are of limited utility when they're so afraid of 1 pilot getting captured. That's not to say the rescue mission was wrong, the psychological advantage of Iran

Alignment is a subspace of capability. Feeling good is nice, but it's also a manifestation of the level that the model can predict what I do and don't want it to do. The more accurately it can predict my intentions without me havi

That's why the US won in Vietnam. Guerrilla warfare was no match for the planes and ships of the US military which swiftly defeated the Vietnamese and installed a friendly capitalist government.

Yes, it's becoming clear that OpenAI kinda sucks at alignment. GPT-5 can pass all the benchmarks but it just doesn't "feel good" like Claude or Gemini.

It's as close as you can get to useless knowledge. It's like asking a pilot "exactly how will the aircraft break apart if you nose dive it at high speed into the ground?"

There's nothing essential to know about what happens when a destructor throws other than it's bad and don't do it. Especially if the effect is to terminate. I hate this style of interviewing which is more about the interviewe

Let's assume that the tweet is proposing to spend $10 billion per year to end homelessness in the entire US, since it contrasts it with genocide which is clearly a national objective not a local one. A quick Google gives on the order o

Don't need to require hardware 2fa tokens. Just a mobile app would be sufficient. Publish to a staging area then require confirmation on mobile to make it go live. Maybe include a diff of changes files for good measure.

The most important (if not entertaining) things you can do in space don't involve humans. Telescopes, communications, earth observation, sending probes to distant bodies, etc. It's nice that we can send humans to space and it&#x27
