I feel like this article was all over the place. Also, this person was really running a macOS box raw on the Internet, no firewall, nothing? :/

What on Earth are you talking about? Pixel Call Screening has been around a while (~2 years, at least), and definitely can be turned off.

Fuck X, and this place while we're at it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49403658

Cost me $500 (to a good charity, oh well) and guess what, I was fucking right. I have subby-tendancies but some of you put me to shame. Me personally? I don't like the taste of rubber.

lol, go try to just even sign up for a new X account and let me know how that goes. god damn sycophancy.

No, it hasn't. And yeah, man, I hope hackers give a shit about YC and Flock enabling the dismantlement of any semblance of privacy, and normalizing total surveillance culture.

The golden ones (as opposed the green variety that are more common in the US) are significantly tastier (at least, universally shared opinion among everyone I forced to try them) and have basically no fuzz/hair.

Matt, ... just log out and take a break.

There's always the big bad scary word, "decentralization".

But of course, even among HNers, there's amazing cognitive dissonance among "decentralization is hard and takes effort" and "omg, of course the next centralized platform won't be bought by an insecure dictator-wannabe".

I'm not that old, it's played out over and over. I shouldn't even comment here. Decentralization or bust.

the end of that post sure did turn out a disaster and I'm not even sure what I meant. Pretty... awful.

I do know how to spell ostracized ? I'm not sure if that's what I meant? Truly a mess.

I say this as someone does NOT disable JS in my main browser (because like, I have a job), but also knows a fair bit about why Firefox inside Tails now restarts in some cases...

It's the classic thing. Across every gdmf metric, excluding with "true empathy", no one *gives a fuck* until it affects them, or someone within (1-3) degrees of separatation. And having broad empathy is generally a good way to get yourself labeled/astrocized: both about as obvious "compriate" and obvious "adversary".

I think this is why I'm sort of excited about this, even if some of it's "misguided" according to some.

I haven't seen people really care and mobilize since maybe BLM?

These green laser pointers are bright enough to cause eye damage from the reflection off surfaces, for humans and pets.

I'd suggest you go look at DHH's own account, own tweets and then delete this embarrassing comment.

lol I'd say something about X, but man this place fooking loves X and it didn't go well last time. So, "oh nooooo".

1. I don't believe you. Or at best, they're A/Bing you and letting you read a tiny modicum of content before forcing you to login. Actually, I'll donate $250 to a charity of your choice if you show me you on x.com mobile browser, logged out, and then load that link. *Any charity you want.*

2. I never said that. Weird that you would feel the need to put words in my mouth. Why might that be?

GOD I LOVE HN, I CANT REPLY NOW. WHY DO I BOTHER? Since I can't reply, and I was wrong: https://files.catbox.moe/kksyqz.png

Yes? It's the fucking GDID. Anyone could've just looked and confirmed it. It's the GDID format; it's not a GUID; I'm not stupid.

EDIT: god, shocking, crazy, hard for this site to imagine but, I spent 10 whole seconds looking at my account, click on a device, looked at the URL. It's clearly a hex-encoded GDID. https://account.microsoft.com/devices/device?deviceId=global...

`001880098F23FCDB` but sure, I'm the idiot here.

I MEAN HOLY FUCK ITS LITERALLY THE GLOBAL DEVICE ID IN THE URL, IN THE EXACT FORMAT OF A 'GDID', BUT WHAT DO I KNOW?

And yes, it's totally normal for my Microsoft account to show me a machine named 'pelinore', registered to my account, when I literally don't know the first fucking thing about DnD, and I have specific machine naming convention that would never include 'pelinore' /s.

ITS COMPLETELY UNUSABLE (aka, unreadable) LOGGED OUT.

Are those of you on X really this out of touch?

Maybe this is obvious or overly reductive, but that rings well for me too and sounds so much like early (and still wise) guidance for Wikipedia and maybe the Internet at large.

Fun story, when my ex and I split a few years ago, I wiped all connections of my Microsoft account to the machine I built him.

Last week, when I logged into my Microsoft account, I had an extra machine with a funny name. Checking some logs, sure enough that was the hostname he gave that machine. Realized what had happened, refreshed the page, and it was gone.

The URL parameter for these devices in the Microsoft Account page is the GDID. So the Microsoft Account page showed me a GDID of a device I unlinked ~4 years ago. (And I'm slightly obsessive, I check on my Google/Microsoft account every other month.) Gooood job Microsoft.

Saily is a joke for pricing. I've never seen anyone beat Airalo's pricing. But they sure cornered those YouTubers!

Who here is old enough to know about PetSets, since we're talking this topic and k8s...

This stuff truly makes my head spin. How do these people think humanity came to be, to today? Do they understand we in historically safe times? I thought the pendulum was swinging back on helicopter parents but some adults, some HN adults, have more money and tech-bias than common sense, or self-awareness, or any awareness of what they're doing to the children. And then remarking that they get around those restrictions. DUH?! Jesus, do some people here struggle this much to remember their own childhoods???

Here I was, thinking it would be a very, very odd workout set to Moby's music.

Thank god the comments here are so apolitical. Would hate to interrogate how this is allowed to continue, alternatives to allowing it to happen, etc.

Rather concerned that there's exactly two comments noticing this. I immediately was like "um, it's an Office 365 form, are people this gullible". EDIT: Fortunately a few more people getting it now.

Maybe I'm the dingus but, just not good vibes. Apparently it's probably "fine": https://x.com/github/status/2072801888525840476

Shout-out to the downvoters, may you continue filling randomly linked, MS Forms blindly from nameless accounts, eat your hearts out.

Very nosily, I'm curious what prominent projects Google hosts OSS but has a meaningfully private internal version.

Started scrolling, immediately closed the page. Something is deeply wrong with a person who chooses to implement this shit on a webpage. Unusable garbage, I'm sorry, literally making me motion sick somehow.

Right, sorry, I'm trying to catch up (in general) here, and am working through assumptions to get my bearings.

What you say makes sense, but further adds to my confusion as to why those model names would appear in input sent to Claude at all, then. EDIT: I guess it might be because someone might point Claude at a compatible API, with its model in the URL, which is of interest to them.

Nice - one don't even have to click the URL to know what POS is involved.

I am also really confused and annoyingly stuck on this. I understand that the model name might appear in prompts for distillation (I guess? "You are RipOffModelv2, learn from these responses from Claude")?

I guess the only explanation is that there's a side-telemetry channel that still sends some data to Anthropic, regardless of ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL overrides.

Wow the timing, I spent a few hours trying to get my head around these three choices last night. Got to roughly similar conclusions. And I still don't know what to do.

I have more money than sense. I don't even know (yet) how silly it is, but maybe a Strix Halo, with 2x 5090s with p2p pcie patch? I'd do more 5090s but the power consumption and need to water cool is too much for me.

I'm also itchy because it seems like Ryzen Pro 495 is coming soon with even more unified RAM... (thoughts very much appreciate on any of this...)
