h33t-l4x0r··on How will OpenAI compete?
10 seconds to buy my wife a Pepsi? Why that estimate seems quite absurd.

First I would have to walk 10 miles into town. Then I would have to locate a purveyor of goods that carried Pepsi-Cola products...

Then I reckon we would spend a fort-minute dickering over price.

And finally trudging back home with my Pepsi product in tow.

Why, I'd be lucky to accomplish this herculean task in the very same evening.

h33t-l4x0r··on IDF killed Gaza aid workers at point blank range in 2025 massacre: Report
I mean by that definition, USA's immigration enforcement constitutes ethnic cleansing. I guess I just question your moral authority to second guess Israel's handling of their very unique situation.
h33t-l4x0r··on IDF killed Gaza aid workers at point blank range in 2025 massacre: Report
Obviously Palestinians were displaced and that needs to be addressed, but ethnic cleansing is a tough sell. Their population has multiplied by 20x since then.
h33t-l4x0r··on Terence Tao, at 8 years old (1984) [pdf]
Next time think of it as a story of a nice guy, who turns into a jerk, and at the end he's a nice guy again.
h33t-l4x0r··on Show HN: Sowbot – Open-hardware agricultural robot (ROS2, RTK GPS)
We're gonna need it to play a midi of "Swing low sweet chariot" when the harvest cycle comes online.
h33t-l4x0r··on Pope tells priests to use their brains, not AI, to write homilies
The flip side of that is, if you care about your community you want to deliver engaging homilies. And that may not be your personal strength.

Also I believe we're talking about Leo not Francis.

h33t-l4x0r··on Pope tells priests to use their brains, not AI, to write homilies
Hang on, you're saying I still get soul credits toward the afterlife if I send my AI agent to sermons?
h33t-l4x0r··on Pope tells priests to use their brains, not AI, to write homilies
Well maybe they just need to start recording confessionals. Just imagine what Gemini 3.1 could do with 1M tokens of that stuff.
h33t-l4x0r··on “Playmakers,” reviewed: The race to give every child a toy
There's no content there for me but I'm curious. Perhaps someone can paste the content?
h33t-l4x0r··on Two Bits Are Better Than One: making bloom filters 2x more accurate
Hmm, Bloom filters seem important. I'm wondering why my CS education never even touched on them and it's tbh triggering my imposter syndrome.
h33t-l4x0r··on I found a vulnerability. they found a lawyer
Being self-taught isn't the problem. I've self-taught myself 10x more than I learned in school (and yes I was CS in school).

You might as well make them sequential if they're numeric, making them non-sequential just puts more load on your server when the brute force happens.
h33t-l4x0r··on Halt and Catch Fire: TV’s best drama you’ve probably never heard of (2021)
That's honestly an ridiculous criticism. The idea that a simple thing like intonation was not well considered in a show with that level of detail...

You need to do yourself a favor and drop whatever you think you know and re-binge.

h33t-l4x0r··on Thinking hard burns almost no calories but destroys your next workout
Why would it be more than any other activity that involves making decisions?
h33t-l4x0r··on Peter Thiel: 2,436 emails with Epstein from 2014 to 2019
So you're saying he was drinking their blood? That makes sense.
h33t-l4x0r··on Peter Thiel: 2,436 emails with Epstein from 2014 to 2019
Okaaay... Except Thiel is the one guy we know wasn't fucking any underage girls.
h33t-l4x0r··on Show HN: Knock-Knock.net – Visualizing the bots knocking on my server's door
Or you could just choose a strong password / disable password auth? Why would DO side with anonymous abuse reporters over their customers?
h33t-l4x0r··on The Feynman Lectures on Physics (1961-1964)
That that doesn't break my heart? I guess my heart is just tougher than yours.
h33t-l4x0r··on The Feynman Lectures on Physics (1961-1964)
I can't help imagining his wife nagging him about taking out the trash just when he was about to solve quantum gravity.

I'm not saying it's ok... But it doesn't break my heart.

I guess it depends on how much pressure he applied.

h33t-l4x0r··on The Feynman Lectures on Physics (1961-1964)
His wife accused him of choking her when she interrupted his science. She also accused him of playing the bongos too loud.

This was during divorce testimony. She got the house and he got the bongos.

h33t-l4x0r··on Moroccan sardine prices to stabilise via new measures: officials
That's a relief, sardines are all I can afford because of my low salary as a prinny inspector.
h33t-l4x0r··on Hackers (1995) Animated Experience
Rumor is, it will get you into the pentagon. But you have to guess the ip.
h33t-l4x0r··on The largest zip tie is nearly 4 feet long and $75
That's a really heavy zip tie.
h33t-l4x0r··on From Tobacco to Ultraprocessed Food: How Industry Fuels Preventable Disease
That article suggests that toxic chemicals are sometimes found where tobacco grows, but that would not be the case for my neighbor (I hope).
h33t-l4x0r··on From Tobacco to Ultraprocessed Food: How Industry Fuels Preventable Disease
No, the strawman's ok. Anyway he only comes once a month, and I only feed his goods to my goat.
h33t-l4x0r··on From Tobacco to Ultraprocessed Food: How Industry Fuels Preventable Disease
So is tobacco ok if it's local? I eat mostly local food and once in a while someone offers me some locally farmed tobacco and I try it. That's not "industry" but it's also probably not great for me.
h33t-l4x0r··on You can just port things to Cloudflare Workers
It is mostly just workers though. There's a teeny tiny link there that says "are you looking for pages?".
h33t-l4x0r··on You can just port things to Cloudflare Workers
I like Workers in general and I've had good experience with it. Here I'm talking about deploying Astro to Pages though, which is not nearly as polished as deploying Nextjs on Vercel.
h33t-l4x0r··on You can just port things to Cloudflare Workers
CF workers are v8 isolates FYI
h33t-l4x0r··on You can just port things to Cloudflare Workers
I tried to port a nextjs project to cf + astro recently and it was a nightmare of usability and build issues. I'm sure they will work it out eventually but I won't be trying it again any time soon.
