And yours is a 4 year old hype account?
righthand··on Meta and Microsoft Limit Employee Use of Claude AI Tools
My thoughts were the reckoning would come when Infra teams started offloading AWS usage to LLMs and ended up token maxing and deploy maxing.

I think acids like lemon juice, vinegar, or mustard help too.

I use olive oil for mayonaise all the time and I don’t mind the sharpness/bitterness that comes from emulsification, it’s just another style.

How is that an attack on all Jews?

No it’s not, antisemitism is not equal to criticism of Israel.
righthand··on Florida woman arrested for allegedly making threats in an AI chat
I am confused, you submit The Verge link but if an international reader were to click the link in The Verge article itself they would still be blocked. How does submitting The Verge link help international readers?
righthand··on 500k facial scans at UK stations yield no arrests, 1 false positive
And I have repeatedly told you that the loud helicopter noises over my apartment building are not drones. If you have a brain defect that prevents you from understanding the difference between a helicopter and drone that is on you.

Businesses don’t have ears and brains. I’m not sure wtf your point is, mine sure as heck wasn’t some left field calculation about economics of crashing planes and helicopters. You would be fine if they hovered a helicopter above your house 24/7 for security theater?
righthand··on US sanctions force The Netherlands off Microsoft and toward alternative NixOS
As a US citizen and FOSS lover, I am absolutely pleased about this. Tearing down and tearing out US tech giants will only be good for computing in the long run.

Finally, the one thing users have been asking for! The N+1 Firefox redesign!

I am not misunderstanding anything. My beliefs are not incorrect. They are helicopters, I know what a helicopter sounds and looks like.

And furthermore, you're ignoring the entire issue is that PEOPLE OF NEW YORK don't enjoy helicopters flying overhead their city.

You are simply attempting to invalidate my statements but your links prove absolutely nothing in regards to the issue.

Instead of misunderstanding things and assuming your pro-helicopter bias supports your preconceived beliefs, then making further unwarranted attacks about my statements to reinforce your pro-security theater world view, simply google to see if those tags are helicopters. YEP! They are.

Don't project your FUD about what a helicopter is onto others. Don't reply to me and call me a liar and tell me I don't know what a helicopter is.

Your linked post is from 2 years ago, this has been going on for much longer than 2 years. Take your propaganda elsewhere.

No I'm not conflating them, I see the NYPD tags on the map flying directly over Brooklyn to their helicopter base 5+ times a day. [0]

No they are not necessary, the East River is right there to fly over. I also have never read "cops failed to catch criminal due to long helicopter route back to base over East River" as a headline or a logical train of thought.

I'm guessing you're related to, or are a police officer yourself. Which means you're conflating truth with misdirection.

Security theater is out of control. I just returned from traveling abroad to some major cities in Europe and getting back to NYC, it's the only city I've been in that let's the cops run wild and fly helicopters low over the city. Not so the cops can do any actual work but so they can take a 2 minute short cut to their private helicopter base instead of flying over the water. No person I have ever met enjoys the sudden loud noise from helicopters flying just above their head in the middle of the day/night. There are campaigns against it[0], and people despise cops. It would be such an easy win to gain some better relations with the communities and yet the cops keep on doing it.

The cops keeps doing it and the rich join in on holidays to take a shortcut to JFK from downtown Manhattan. The city were 9/11 was apparently a big deal wants to you feel like you're in a war zone all the time for shortcuts and a few $ savings on helicopter fuel.

This to me is the ultimate security theater environment, where the state is constantly pressing a false sense of FUD.

Gee…I wonder why no one likes cops? They’re all like the scarecrow: “If I only had a brain…”
righthand··on What happened to the Snowden archive
“The Media” is a bunch of diaper wearing cowards that capitulate to the feds. Plain and simple.

> Distros are a bad use case for P2P anyway since you depend on upstream as soon as you start upgrading and installing packages.

This is true for any distribution method not just p2p. You can even download a nightly through torrents so what does it matter how the data is transferred if it’s always going to require `apt update`?

righthand··on Single player games require age verification if they use Steam under EU KIDS Act
Helloooo torrent and software crack sites spike. Goodbyeeee software sales.
righthand··on Border agents can search cellphones without a warrant or reasonable suspicion
So carry a separate device while traveling. Or wipe your phone, then restore after the border. This is just going to lead to a service that does this for you and the overreaching feds won’t be able to do anything about it.

And as far as I can tell you still don’t have to give them your pin code.

People will just bring their bots over and you'll be back to square one. Bots scraping existed before LLM companies decided to go nutso on the internet.

Yeah I dont think they know why they think that.
righthand··on The madman's guide to stamp collecting
I participated in USPO’s 1800STAMPFUN as a kid and I loved it. The collectable cards and the unique stamps (looney tunes, monster movies, US Revolutionary and US Civil War heroes), all secured in my USPO stamp collecting binder. I still have it and look at it once every 5 years.

No one is upset that the AI companies are scraping the web, they’re upset how poorly implemented the scrapers, but the scraping itself is fine. Lots of people and businesses scrape the web.

Yes, HN is for human discussion. It is fine to flag and remove things that are not human written and cannot facilitate human discussion due to it’s false construction.
