It's called a transformative work. And it is indeed copyrightable or it's able to be protected legally, if that's what you're wondering?
johnnyApplePRNG··on What happened to the Snowden archive
Snowden promotes zcash and distrusts monero.

If that's not enough proof that he's a government plant, I don't know what else to tell you.

You guys literally started it.

this vertigoruntime is brand new and his submissions absolutely dominate the front page recently https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=vertigoruntime

the about link https://vertigo.kuber.studio is obvious AI llm spam

johnnyApplePRNG··on Why are AI agents lying, cheating and coordinating?
I don't give a fuck who wrote it.

They're lying through their teeth and they know it.

If they have those credentials you speak of, they should know better.

Something tells me the NSA is none too pleased about the advent of LLMs.

Or is there a tradeoff?

Fewer ancient holes like this for their hackers but wide open access to anyone who installs codex or claude code?

Out of seemingly nowhere a few years ago, the canadian local landscape changed overnight.

I feel like I am walking around las vegas half the time.

Virtually every corner store has turned into those english sports betting pubs or whatever they have all over England.

It's disgusting.

johnnyApplePRNG··on Who is vertigoruntime and how do they have 3 posts on the front page rn?

just seems really odd / impossible for a brand new account to do that?

Bullshit...

dang come on man ...

this is obvious spam

Definitely a much better target to show the power of an AI LLM imho (as opposed to stealing from starving mathematicians).
johnnyApplePRNG··on Why are AI agents lying, cheating and coordinating?
Why are they coordinating?

Because they're enabled and suggested to do that in their coding harness.

This is not a serious article.

All of this "AI is going to kill us" marketing is just the frontier labs trying to pull the ladder up and stop trillions in VC paper from evaporating because a new papers and new ideas are destroying their moat literally as we speak.

johnnyApplePRNG··on A misalignment of AI in mathematics
Well, I was happily paying $300 canadian pesos per month to OpenAI for some time... until the tokens just dried up overnight for some reason.

I went from using it non-stop all day every day for months, to running into my weekly limit within 24 hours almost overnight.

They lied about token efficiencies and everything... said they had no idea what the problem was, etc... and then bam, once China starts releasing more powerful models, they start "resetting" our token limits constantly ... sometimes ... maybe ... if we're lucky ...

I am over it.

I don't care WHAT I pay to be perfectly honest. I would have gladly paid $2,000 per month for the service I was receiving.

I just don't like being jerked around like that.

Toodles, OpenAI.

johnnyApplePRNG··on A misalignment of AI in mathematics
The average programmer is outraged by OpenAI's methods, too.

I don't care how good Astra or any subsequent models they may release might be... I am never going back to those token reset shenanigans.

Yes let's shame corporations for spending money on and supporting things that need more support. /s

johnnyApplePRNG··on More questions about whether researchers can trust OpenAI with unpublished math
They hide that button. Quite well.
johnnyApplePRNG··on DeepSeek v4.1 Flash
>This one is 552B so almost twice that, so the huge gains in benchmark scores make sense - it's not really flash anymore, imo.

It uses fewer active parameters, though. (8B or 14B instead of always 13B)

So ... flash indeed.

Smart kid.
johnnyApplePRNG··on OpenAI fought dirty on career-making math problem
They brute forced it, that proves they had no business solving it.

They didn't know what they were doing and they pumped a bunch more carbon into our atmosphere because hubris basically.

Shame on them.

johnnyApplePRNG··on OpenAI fought dirty on career-making math problem
>were surprised to discover that (a) Anthropic had not done it at all

They were surprised another competitor had not wastefully thrown $20 million+ worth of compute at a problem they had no business solving in the first place?

That's reaching, imho.

In the middle of a highly geopolitically sensitive moment where there's been bombs at other European airports recently?

Color me suspicious.

They are using every trick in the book, so I suspect your suspicions may be true.
