hn_go_brrrrr··on News publishers limit Internet Archive access due to AI scraping concerns
No they won't pay for it, unless they believe it's in their best interests. If they believe they can free-ride and get good data without having to pay for it, why would they lay down a dollar?
hn_go_brrrrr··on Major European payment processor can't send email to Google Workspace users
That and MS Office are pretty darn popular. Not the whole world, but a very decent percentage of your users.
hn_go_brrrrr··on X offices raided in France as UK opens fresh investigation into Grok
"don't cooperate"? "Yes sir, let me call the people downstairs who can help you." is not stalling.

If they're so impatient, are they going to somehow hack the badge-controlled elevators to make them go where they want?

hn_go_brrrrr··on X offices raided in France as UK opens fresh investigation into Grok
Not really? If the people want to get through the locked doors throughout the office, they'll need someone to let them through the doors. At least where I work, the receptionists don't have that access. They need to call people who do have universal door access to let them in. Unless the cops just want to battering-ram their way through all the doors for the fun of it...

Also, a raid without a warrant is not a raid. It's a friendly visit to someone's office.

What a strange assumption. The training is "summon the lawyers immediately", "ensure they're accompanied at all times while on company premises", etc.
hn_go_brrrrr··on Replacing Protobuf with Rust
I agree it's not super common, but Boq's in-process RPC feature encourages this pattern.
hn_go_brrrrr··on Replacing Protobuf with Rust
Because then they never would have needed the poorly-designed intermediate library.
hn_go_brrrrr··on C++ std::move doesn't move anything: A deep dive into Value Categories
C++ doesn't have zero overhead, though. The committee is unwilling to take ABI breaks and so have left performance on the table. For instance, unique_ptr<T> can't be passed in registers but T* can.

Zero overhead is a fiction the committee likes to tell themselves, but it's not true.

Has Germany tried to fine Cloudflare over it?
hn_go_brrrrr··on Cloudflare CEO on the Italy fines
He's just sucking up to them to get them to act on his behalf.
hn_go_brrrrr··on The Jeff Dean Facts
Did you mean Borgmon? Borgcron is just GCL.

Sawzall is another good example of an unreadable language.

hn_go_brrrrr··on 65% of Hacker News posts have negative sentiment, and they outperform
I don't use Blind often, but whenever I do I always feel better about my job afterwards. Yeah, there are definitely parts about my job that suck, but at least it's not that bad.
hn_go_brrrrr··on 65% of Hacker News posts have negative sentiment, and they outperform
You can develop pessimism without a conscious choice, but once you become aware of how negative your outlook is, it's a conscious choice to not try to do better.
hn_go_brrrrr··on A production bug that made me care about undefined behavior
Compilers implement the parts of the standard they agree with, in the way they think is best. They also implement it in the way they understand the standardese.

Read a complex enough project that's meant to be used across compiler venrdos and versions, and you'll find plenty of instances where they're working around the compiler not implementing the standard.

Also, if you attended the standards committee, you would hear plenty of complaints from compiler vendors that certain things are implementable. Sometimes the committee listens and makes changes, other times they put their fingers in their ears and ignore reality.

There are also plenty of places where the standard lets the compiler make it's own decision (implementation defined behavior). You need to know what your compiler vendor(s) chose to do.

tl;dr: With a standard as complex as C++'s, the compilers very much do not just "implement the standard". Sometimes you can get away with pretending that, but others very much not.

hn_go_brrrrr··on History LLMs: Models trained exclusively on pre-1913 texts
I wonder if it's an attempt to get foreign counterparts to waste time and energy on something the CIA knows is a dead end.
hn_go_brrrrr··on The C++ standard for the F-35 Fighter Jet [video]
Fortunately the major compiler vendors all have. Routing around the standards committee is getting more and more common.
hn_go_brrrrr··on Armed police swarm student after AI mistakes bag of Doritos for a weapon
More's the pity. The school district could use some consequences.
hn_go_brrrrr··on The fight between doctors and insurance companies over 'downcoding'
I was thinking the same thing. Would it be permissible to bring each underpayment to small claims court as a separate case? If enough doctors did this, it would very quickly be a legal DDoS attack, like we've seen happen with mandatory arbitration.
hn_go_brrrrr··on Gemini 2.5 Computer Use model
Presumably not. Whether he has any acts to keep secret is not relevant to whether he'd like to have any money left in his bank account tomorrow.
hn_go_brrrrr··on Find SF parking cops
I dunno, I don't think we should publish the real-time location of guards protecting sensitive government locations.
hn_go_brrrrr··on Ultrasonic Chef's Knife
Cutting garlic or meat will both require more cleaning than just a rinse.
hn_go_brrrrr··on Corporations are trying to hide job openings from US citizens
What are the disadvantages of the points system? In what ways do companies abuse it?
hn_go_brrrrr··on Many hard LeetCode problems are easy constraint problems
But sometimes also machines. ACLs are enforced by machines, and everyone is fine with that.
hn_go_brrrrr··on Ireland will not participate in Eurovision if Israel takes part
Maybe that's why Bush invaded Iraq, he just wanted the land of his ancestors

hn_go_brrrrr··on Ireland will not participate in Eurovision if Israel takes part
This statement betrays a deep lack of imagination about other things one could do against Jews. Killing them, for instance, or putting them in concentration camps are both far worse than any association you might choose to make with Israel.
hn_go_brrrrr··on Ireland will not participate in Eurovision if Israel takes part
GP didn't say this action is antisemitic, just that there are rising levels of antisemitism in Ireland. If the latter is true, though, it does suggest that this action is likely motivated by antisemitism. That is, not everyone opposing Israel is antisemitic, but all the antisemites oppose Israel.
hn_go_brrrrr··on How did .agakhan, .ismaili and .imamat get their own TLDs?
Someone paid to register them.
hn_go_brrrrr··on Monitor your security cameras with locally processed AI
I still feel that anyone who insists on "GNU/Linux" is a hippie crackpot.
hn_go_brrrrr··on Job-seekers are dodging AI interviewers
Self checkout is just fine, except for UNEXPECTED ITEM IN THE BAGGING AREA.

You can avoid this by preventing any traffic to or from the device except from Frigate.
