I like per recipient emails, but I worried how I would know I authorized that sender to send to lonely chicken. The original site could have been compromised.

That's why I bought my email domain and use <domain_name>@hnrobert42.com. It helps to use a password manager.

I get a lot of convincing emails to linkedin@hnrobert42.com. As well as zynga, wework, etc.

My god this guy needs a non-technical cofounder.

I read the Wheel of Time series. It's all I read. It took about 18 months. It's great, though. I'm sad it's over, and I'm going to miss the characters.

I wonder if the article will get translated and spammed to authorities in his locality.

Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads.

If it doesn't support GP's position, it doesn't count.

I think the filing number is 17-59.

I'm pretty sure they don't need comments on the federal site for that. They could get the same from reddit or here for that matter.

Do you have any examples of the government exploiting that?

I read the whole article, and I am still confused. I get that test case reducers find the smallest error causing string. I don't understand why that is particularly valuable.

Also, do test case reducers work on integers or other numbers? What about reducing some other complexity? Is this for developing unit tests or just debugging?

Generally nothing. In Singapore, there are some risks.

That's exactly what I mean. This is how animals live.

Not authority, but likelihood of astroturfing.

That said, unlike GP, I don't think you were accusing OP of astroturfing. Your comment was confusing, but it seemed you were complaining about astroturfing in general, not about this post in particular.

It's 2026, and I still can't read a PDF on mobile.

I must be doing something wrong. I'm using FF Focus. Is that it? I tried Safari. Either they moved the reader button, or it's not present for PDFs. Help me Obi-Wan.

No. I didn't think you were an astroturfer. I wonder where you derived this objection.

Also, good luck with your bottom. Perhaps look into your consumption of UPFs. ;-)

I agree in part. By definition, the conglomerates have many parts. Some of those are not objectively bad.

I also agree that people have choices.

I disagree that it is simply people choice it. When large corporations perform research to find hyperpalatable foods, spend billions on marketing, and capture regulatory apparatus to lock in their dominant position, it absolutely is that they are pushing it on people.

Hoho, you are right! In what is left of my addled mind, I substituted one questionable word for another. Thank you!

I wonder about the folks who work for tobacco and industrial food conglomerates. Are they not aware of the part they play? Do they rationalize it somehow? Do they just not care? Did they end up there through mergers?

Cynical arguments are facile. I'm not interested in hearing that people are dumb or evil. I am genuinely curious how these companies attract talent.

I've heard this objection a lot, even from folks I respect. Its ubiquity makes me wonder it is astroturfed.

The definition I have heard is "food made with ingredients or processes not commonly used in ghome Unfortunately, when I looked to leading scientific orgs, they are dithering on releasing formal definitions, but all say something like what I'd heard.

Conflicting information doesn't mean an abysmal situation. I'd argue the opposite. Everyone "knew" the sun orbited Earth.

No. It's really a small few. It's largely Republican politicians, especially Trump, protecting coal and petrochemical companies.

I stayed in a mongoloid home in Tunisia last year. It was lovely. It was a large, central, below-grade courtyard with dugout, underground rooms branching off it. The rooms were cool all day. By being below grade, the courtyard was in shade most of the day and didn't get too hot. Through clever tunneling, the rising heat generated a draft.

I also learned that mongoloid, at least in Tunisia, is not considered a derogatory term.

This really bothers you, huh?

Two other books in that vein that I really liked:

1. A World Lit Only by Fire — William Manchester

2. One Summer: America, 1927 — Bill Bryson

I don't believe I overpay. I use my phone for hours a day. It is a marvel. I find it far superior to Android, which I used for years.

Yet I didn't buy the phone for the maps app. I have other choices for maps providers. It is perfectly acceptable to me that Apple charge me for additional services like maps.

I was a littLe annoyed by that, too, but mostly because there isn't an option to pay for an ad-free experience.

Yeah, but what about ...

Maybe, the proof of work can run in the background.

Huh. I didn't assume it was LLM-generated. I liked the article. I appreciated that author cared about the 14K phish recipients as if they were proper users.

I will say, I've grown bored of folks complaining about AI generated content. But, to each their own. Good luck storming the castle.

Funny you should mention robots burglars. I just read this:
