Can you cite specifically what in the linked article or discussion leads you to say that?
Can you put the pre-LLM version of your post on your site somewhere? I (and presumably many others) would be much more interested in reading that, even if the English is a bit awkward.
I notice that a lot of scam texts use domains that start with a TLD followed by a hyphen, like:
https://wa.gov-phish.fit/dol
https://seattle.gov-phish.cc/dmv
(Real examples, with "phish" replacing a string of 3-4 random letters)In some ways, it's a more convincing fake URL, since even if you're used to reading the domain right-to-left, your brain wants to start from the hyphen since it's a different character following a familiar TLD. But that type of domain also seems a lot easier for spam detection rules to catch.
All that being said, I think it's a neat idea and a cool tool!
The "TRAINING" visualization does seem synthetic though, the graph is a bit too "perfect" and it's odd that the generated names don't update for every step.
Indeed, the whole "Ironically, switching from Apache 2.0 to AGPL irrevocably makes the project forkable" section seems misguided. Apache 2.0-licensed software is just as forkable.

I don't think it counts as recreating a project "from scratch" if the model that you're using was trained against it. Claude Opus 4.5 is aware of the stable-diffusion.cpp project and can answer some questions about it and its code-base (with mixed accuracy) with web search turned off.
(() => { let count = 50; const delay = 100; const interval = setInterval(() => { addSnakeNode(); if (--count <= 0) clearInterval(interval); }, delay);})()> Finds when the sun aligns with your street for a perfect sunset view (like Manhattanhenge).
> * Enter an address to check for alignment with the sunset (or more specifically, alignment a little before sunset, the last moment the sun is at 50˚)
> * Shows street bearing and sun alignment information
> * Displays coordinates and next henge date (if there is one)
The hash table has the significant advantage of having a much smaller minimum size.

Keep reading to "If keys and values are larger than 32 bits"
I think you mean HTML5, which exhaustively specified how to do parsing in a fault-tolerant, normalizing way. HTML 4 (and 4.01) predated XHTML 1.0, and HTML 4.01 attempted to take things in a stricter direction, introducing a "Strict" DTD that did things like drop the <font> tag, in pursuit of separating structure and presentation.
Apparently, "all you need is [...] this: [bytes]" is the hash of an undisclosed exploit proof-of-concept. And the relationship between Spengler and Linux maintainers has been somewhat contentious for the better part of a decade: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13312723
Inaccurate:
> Ruby Central also had not removed me as an “owner” of the Ruby Central GitHub Organization. They also had not rotated any of the credentials shared across the operational team using the RubyGems 1Password account.
> I believe Ruby Central confused themselves into thinking the “Ruby Central” 1Password account was used by operators, and they did revoke my access there. However, that 1Password account was not used by the open source team of RubyGems.org service operators. Instead, we used the “RubyGems” 1Password account, which was full of operational credentials. Ruby Central did not remove me from the “RubyGems” 1Password account, even as of today. https://andre.arko.net/2025/10/09/the-rubygems-security-inci...
Ruby Central didn't realize that they hadn't actually revoked any access to the previous maintainers (and that they didn't have the updated root AWS credentials) until two weeks later when André notified them.

> The investigation found that RealPage’s pricing software provides landlords with a shared logic that tends to raise rents. Two types of RealPage’s pricing software collect nonpublic, competitively sensitive data from landlords to feed the algorithms. Landlords who use RealPage software agree to provide their data, knowing that the software combines their data with data from other landlords. The algorithm then recommends rents — in many cases increasing them. In feedback to RealPage about its software, one potential client said: “I always liked this product because your algorithm uses proprietary data from other subscribers to suggest rents and term. That’s classic price fixing.” https://www.atg.wa.gov/news/news-releases/washington-ag-says...
Just "distributing marketplace data".
This is usually called a "blogroll", which has the advantage of being much less ambiguous/overloaded than "feeds".
