Artoooooor··on One Piece of Flock Camera Data Put This Innocent Woman in Jail for 13 Days
So now restore her life to state before arrest.
Artoooooor··on What even is an OS now?
So - yet another way to turn a computer into a subscription service (to pay for the AI providers). No, thanks.
Artoooooor··on Factorio that you can touch
A "screen" for blind people, where "pixels" would move up and down instead of changing colours would be so cool. Factorio would "display" the game world, something else would "display" text in Braille...
Artoooooor··on Thelio Mira AI Linux Workstation: 192 GB GPU Memory
Damn, what a misleading price.
Artoooooor··on Orbs
For you not to waste your precious time - "orb" is just a virtual machine. And the thing requires a phone number, which it tells you at the END of the registration. I have new marketing jingle for that company: "market your AI slop with non-AI slop".
Artoooooor··on Creepy Crawlies
How expensive would AI access be if every user paid their fair share instead of shoving it on the people doing the actual work?
Artoooooor··on California lawmakers unanimously pass Linux exemption from age-verification law
Now do it with all open source licenses, not just the most popular.
Artoooooor··on Disruption with Some GitHub Services – Resolved
Microsoft implemented a disruptive technology that caused...well... disruption.
Artoooooor··on Meta reaches $17B settlement over social media harms to children
That cases should end with prison sentences, not financial settlements.
Artoooooor··on Nitter and XCancel receive cease and desist notices
Remember, corporations may scrap you but you cannot scrap them.
Artoooooor··on ChatGPT Desktop (Codex Desktop) for Linux
About the damn time. Couldn't they vibe code the Linux version using the same very tool from the day one?
Artoooooor··on No Meat Proxy
In case of lmgtfy the receiver was usually the lazy person. The question was usually so simple that simple that asking it for nth time on public forum was the waste of everyone's time. In case of pasting LLM response verbatim the responder is usually the one wasting everyone's time.
Artoooooor··on GCC steering committee announces AI policy
Of course the trained models, being derived from GPL code, become derivative work, and by extension - also GPL? Right?
Artoooooor··on ZCode – Harness for GLM-5.2
I could use them as a provider if they shown concrete price per token. Or concrete number of tokens in each plan. Now I don't know what I would rent from them. If I were to buy hell knows what, I would go to Anthropic.
Artoooooor··on Jolla Phone (October 2026)
Another almost good phone without a mini jack :( User-replaceable battery, SD card port, mini jack, touchscreen that works consistently. Do I really ask for that much?
Artoooooor··on Springer Nature has removed two studies by Max Planck
Do I understand correctly that publishing the same paper in multiple journals is considered self-plagiarism? Who in the name of the great monopoly invented such name for that?
Artoooooor··on Half-Life 2 in a Browser
What a time to be alive. My suggestion: progress bars instead of throbbers during loading data.
Artoooooor··on Anthropic says Alibaba illicitly extracted Claude AI model capabilities
And if it includes at least one GPL source, they should release the weights on GPL license.
Artoooooor··on Identity verification on Claude
Every time I consider renting a service from Anthropic, they drop such bomb. Full capability with pre-agreed price per token and no ID verification. That's what I demand.
Artoooooor··on Show HN: Aastro – Extendable API Gateway in Go
First thing - it's very nice of you to explain what is it directly on the landing page, instead of "expand your possibilities, improve user experience".
Artoooooor··on AMD silently removes memory encryption from consumer Ryzen CPUs
How can they not anything to say about it? I demand answers both why they sneakily added it and then why they sneakily removed it. Especially if it was a burgerland government intervention.
Artoooooor··on The 2-Year Apartment Rule
I rented two apartments and it was quite stable each time. Normal breakdowns happened, but they were repaired on the owner's cost. They now serve people who live there now.
Artoooooor··on Statement on US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
US government should not have a say what members of other nations can and cannot use. Especially outside of USA.
Artoooooor··on AUR Packages Compromised with Infostealer and Rootkit
Thanks for the link. It contains link to list of the affected packages, that will be useful.
Artoooooor··on If Claude Fable stops helping you, you'll never know
It is as if Jetbrains told that "you can't use IntelliJ Idea to develop frontier IDE. We can introduce slight compilation errors if we detect you doing so".
Artoooooor··on Ask HN: What was your "oh shit" moment with GenAI?
Probably first usage of Claude Code. I only use pay as you go pricing, so I was equally amused by speed and by cost.
Artoooooor··on Bricks and Minifigs Stole a Man's $200k Lego Collection
How the "justice" system intends to undo the wrong arrests?
Artoooooor··on What we lost when we stopped letting kids leave the front yard
I won't criticise actual parents - these are their children, their decision, their responsibility and their either regrets or appreciation later. That is a trade-off and they will see in about 20 years whether it was worthwhile. Even not having children I know parenting is difficult (I just remember how hard it was for my parents). However I definitely appreciate that I was allowed to wander through my town (in central Europe) when I was a child/teenager. Moreover - I regret being so afraid of everything and not exploring more. Maybe it was a time to have that fear so that I could overcome it in later stages of life. Maybe.

To be a devil's advocate - maybe lower frequency of crimes against children is a result of that red tape? Or maybe not. I don't know.

Artoooooor··on Drone pilot makes US rescind no-fly zones around unmarked, moving ICE vehicles
Couldn't it be used to identify/track the ICE vehicles? Observe where drones suddenly become enclosed in a no-fly zone (do I understand correctly that operators get notification that they should land immediately)?
Artoooooor··on If This Road
Very interesting. Observations from 3 and 4 seem to contradict each other. In 3 author claims that previously we had to "soften" our views due to social pressure of people in our vicinity (room, street, city...). This moderated both us and people we interacted with. Now we often stumble upon virtual place with people of similar world views, where the society does not force us to self-moderate.

In 4 however the author claims that previously we could say certain things that we can't say now, due to social pressure.

And I certainly can confirm it. At the same time extreme world views are more pronounced (echo chambers in social media) and people lose their jobs because they said something "wrong". What causes these seemingly opposite changes to occur at once? Did we just lose ability to discuss things in civilized manner due to lack of...well, discussions in the isolated internet groups? Are we so far from each other that we replaced normal human talks with diplomatic relations, as we represent different echo chambers, despite living and working together? Maybe that previous self-moderation gave some room for discussion because we could assume our interlocutor at least had common problems and interests with us?

Thanks for sharing this book. I'm only at chapter (or "piece" as the author calls it) and already have something to think about.
