> Now the games industry will try it again for real

Will? It's already happening:

* Amazon Luna: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Luna

* Nvidia GeForce Now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_Now

* Xbox Cloud Gaming: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_Cloud_Gaming

We keep having to learn this same lesson.

Yes, and then children grow up and realize that how "other people" act on "other people's opinions" has real direct and indirect effects on their lives.

> Anthropic states that these rules may be modified for “contracts with certain governmental customers … if, in Anthropic’s judgment, the contractual use restrictions and applicable safeguards are adequate to mitigate the potential harms.” The company has previously contracted with the US military.

So, you're still not safe from the spooks, but the spooks are safe from you. Thanks Anthropic!

Good question! I've looked into this a bit myself and I think the best overall match is Akzidenz-Grotesk Condensed, albeit not exact: https://www.myfonts.com/products/condensed-regular-akzidenz-...

The G is different (look at the lower right corner), the 0 (zero) has a slash which looks custom, and the Q is very different (it looks like a letter O with a piece of another O added for the tail).

And yes, since it's the standard comment about fonts, this is a commercial font that costs an arm and a leg.

This "no, Virginia, they aren't pelicanmaxxing" article is what broodbucket is probably thinking of: https://dylancastillo.co/posts/pelicanmaxxing.html

In any case, pelicanmaxxing comments without any further proof or evidence probably fall under the "Please don't post shallow dismissals" guideline.

> old Twitter decided to censor a NYPost article

Again, which article, about what subject?

howunfortunate didn't answer, just deflected:

> Are there NYPost articles you feel people should be prevented from DMing? Or posting, for that matter?

qerghnui's reply was flagged to death:

> Why do you refuse to answer the question?

> The story you are referring to involved the New York Post or its affiliates breaking in to Hunter Biden's laptop (a felony) and publishing his personal correspondence, complete with unredacted phone numbers and email addresses. This violated Twitter's policies against doxxing and dissemination of hacked materials. Characterizing this as censorship is misleading; the story contained no newsworthy information and its publication violated longstanding Twitter policy. It's hard to imagine Twitter functioning without such a policy. I don't see any reason the New York Post should get away with violating it just because it claims to be a newspaper.

> The Wall Street Journal, a Murdoch rag like the Post and hardly known for its liberal bias, declined to publish this information, which is why it wound up in the disreputable Post instead. Respectable journalists have ethical standards. Act like thugs, get treated like thugs.

> P.S. Twitter is free to make whatever editorial decisions it pleases. Trying to make them publish something they don't want to publish is compelled speech. Compelling speech in the name of freedom of speech is hypocritical.

> I'm willing to bet a nonzero amount of its training material is GPL

Image data?

> GPL licensed instead and use it however the fuck I want

GPL is not a "use it however the fuck I want" license. Maybe you're thinking of the WTFPL?

> old Twitter decided to censor a NYPost article

Which article, about what subject?

If someone discovered AGI for real, they're going to broadcast it in a lot more places than one social media network. The AI revolution will not be tweeted.

Experts in my field don't use Xitter, they use arXiv. Experts in my hobby don't use Xitter, they use forums and databases.

This is inordinately harsh, though I agree with wanting to just play the original Amiga game. It's available at the following link from all the way at the bottom of the article: https://bithunch.itch.io/babylonian-twins

N.B. quickarxiv.org just redirects to alphaxiv.org, so the following (i.e. change "ar" to "alpha") works just as well:

https://www.alphaxiv.org/abs/2608.29530

Obvious follow-ups: How does the A/B test choose between A and B, and how can it be manipulated into choosing A instead of B (or vice versa)? It's software, it has to be deterministic at some level.

Not good enough. Creating an account still leads to the "Your account was suspended for reasons, now you gotta dox yourself" dance. See previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49442907

Goomba fallacy strikes again! https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Goomba_fallacy

Previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43591225

Is Xitter still doing the "Your account was suspended for reasons, now you gotta dox yourself" dance? (EDIT: Yes, according to debazel's reply) That'd be a reason why "You could make an X account" isn't a reasonable suggestion.

Follow-up question: Does an enclosed stall count as "public space"?

And then some incriminating photo is made with your forged signature. "Not like that, not like that!"

Like many things that "nobody's talking about", people really are talking about it. Discussion from two months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48734373

With the important difference that scans sent to Anna's Archive are, you know, archived.

No it's not, because "one person" has to keep sitting up and begging for access, every time there's a new release, over and over and over and over and over.

> If those were real people making those comments

Really, does it matter? Lots of YouTube comments are zero-effort attempts to juice a video/channel's engagement metrics (aka "commenting for the algorithm"), and whether they're accomplices/sockpuppets, or just unimaginative parasocial parasites, is basically unknowable from the outside.

Neither can anyone deny that 'productivity gains' are worthless if what's being produced is worthless.

I was nerd-sniped by the above link (which I've added spaces to, to keep it from being truncated) and thought "Huh, since when does Wikimedia Commons use tracker barf?" So I found the page for this image:

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pen_Register.jpg

then copied the full-size image's link... and sure enough. I guess they want to keep tabs on sites that hotlink their images and don't even practice good link hygiene.

In addition to those from the above link, Sonniss released another sound effects pack in 2026:

> Qwen 3.8 27B is only the second local model after Gemma 4 that managed to correctly reason through one of my private benchmarks.

I don't expect you to blab publicly about your private benchmark, but what sorts of reasoning does it require?

Only if we can also normalize not double-dipping via payment and ads. Too often, paying money to avoid "If you're not paying for the product, you are the product" just turns it into "You're paying for the product and you're still the product".

And there's still no adequate explanation for what "Korean lunch mode" is!
