bl4ckneon··on OpenAI breaches Medicare, Albanese reveals
I think he means hit them with criminal charges for breaching and hacking other companies unintentionally, not because they make a tool that could potentially do something like that. I still think it wouldn't be right, nor realistic in today's political climate in the USA that any criminal charges will come for unintentionally hacking sites.
bl4ckneon··on Minecraft: Java Edition now uses SDL3
No insider knowledge but as far as I know, bedrock is written C++ not Java. They did that for porting to other devices and consoles, as well as preformance. It also allows them to sell skins, server hosting, more micro transactions since it's more locked down. So I think it's just a thing that happened, and it has been going on for a while and if they did anything to either the Java edition or the bedrock edition then it would make a lot of people really mad.

+1 a good video to watch if you like to watch informative/entertaining videos on YouTube.

bl4ckneon··on Internet Archive Switzerland
I had the same thought. Does that mean they are archiving a bunch of Ai stuff? Doesn't sound right to me
bl4ckneon··on Dav2d
That is what I thought of too. Almost live David is a popular name or something... /s
bl4ckneon··on Cursor Camp
One is kinda half hidden behind a tree on the far right and another one is next to the starting sign. The rest are on the beach area and very slightly off the beach area
bl4ckneon··on Google Flow Music
I have found that every Ai music model I have tried (tried about 6 of them) can not for the life of it generate any good ambient music or like sad non upbeat music. They all try to revert to some sort of uptempo or beat drop of some sort. They can't just "chill out" so to speak
bl4ckneon··on DeepSeek v4
Aww yes, let me push a couple petabytes to my git repo for everyone to download...
bl4ckneon··on GPT-5.5
How can we tell who the 100x engineers are then?
bl4ckneon··on Allbirds announces pivot from shoes to AI, stock explodes 175%
Reminds me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Blockchain_Corp.

That didn't end very well for them...

bl4ckneon··on Show HN: Is Hormuz open yet?
Very cool! I love one off intresting sites like this. Thanks for building it and talking a little bit about where the data comes from etc.

On the note of Ai agent getting the data for you, could you not just build a chrome extention that intercepts/read the api response and then uploads it to whatever ingest endpoint you have? You could probably just call their api end points they use on the page as well but not sure what protections they have so might be a bit tricky. A custom chrome extention could do it though if they have protections.

bl4ckneon··on Police used AI facial recognition to wrongly arrest TN woman for crimes in ND
I think you missed many important points.

"The trauma, loss of liberty, and reputational damage cannot be easily fixed,” Lipps' lawyers told CNN in an email.

That sounds a LOT like a statement you make for before suing for damages, not to mention they literally say "Her lawyers are exploring civil rights claims but have yet to file a lawsuit, they said."

This lady probably just wants to go back to normal life and get some money for the hell they put her in. She has never been on a airplane before, I doubt she is going to take on the entire system like you suggest. Easier said than done to "challenge the entire system", what does that even mean exactly?

bl4ckneon··on Proton spam and the AI consent problem
You also get simplelogin for free, give that a try. Will probably fix your first issue
bl4ckneon··on The URL shortener that makes your links look as suspicious as possible
Thought this might be it... I clicked it anyways haha. I will need to update the Rick roll url on my nfc implant with this new link!
bl4ckneon··on Show HN: Stop Claude Code from forgetting everything
The extention Cline has a "memory bank" feature. It's just a markdown you add as an instruction. Works well for me. Worked with agents.md as well so not just with the Cline extention. Pretty much the same idea.
bl4ckneon··on America’s semiconductor boom [video]
He probably has a team who helps him. He makes bank so not unrealistic
bl4ckneon··on Gemini 3.0 spotted in the wild through A/B testing
I'm no financial advisor but I can tell you that it's not a financially sound decision to buy stock based off of speculative hype Twitter posts.

But you do you if you have "fun money" to throw around!

bl4ckneon··on Why did Crunchyroll's subtitles just get worse?
The ironic part is that a large majority of the piracy is just crunchy roll rips or subtitles from crunchy roll.
bl4ckneon··on Kagi News
How is Proton over extending? All of their services are pretty great imo. I'm happy with them. Doesn't mean I am ever going to use their bitcoin wallet app thing, but if they want to build it, great, they know their customer base so it's probably not out of left field.
bl4ckneon··on Improved Gemini 2.5 Flash and Flash-Lite
I would assume that it will supersede the model that they currently have. So eventually 2.5 flash will be the new and improved 2.5 Flash rather than 2.6.

Same way that openai updated their 4-o models and the like, which didn't turn out so well when it started glazing everyone and they had to revert it (maybe that was just chat and not api)

bl4ckneon··on Want to piss off your IT department? Are the links not malicious looking enough?
I have had a .xyz email for like 10 years at this point. It's 50/50 of people saying "is that really a email address" and people acting completely normal.

Never going to know what reaction I'm going to get.

bl4ckneon··on macOS Tahoe
It always seemed quite cringe to me. A use it once and "Ehh I guess it works and is cool, sure" and then never touch it again sort of feature.

Other than old people that always send gifs on Facebook and children who this is probably one of the only AI art things they have access too, idk who else uses this.

If one tech giant has it then they need to too for feature parity. Not a whole lot of use cases for generative AI for the masses, so if someone comes up with one, gotta copy!

bl4ckneon··on WiFi-3D-Fusion – Real-time 3D motion sensing with Wi-Fi
That repo has more github badges that a north Korean general has metals on their uniform...
bl4ckneon··on Open Sauce is a confoundingly brilliant Bay Area event
I would argue that it does turn more people onto engineering paths and will result in more engineers. But it could just be a cool hobby! Does every person who is interested in cooking become a chef? Every person who is into sports become an athlete? Music a musician?

With tech becoming more prevalent, people making more things and people repairing more things, I think it's an overall good thing. Also if they become content creators, then so what?

bl4ckneon··on Air Force unit suspends use of Sig Sauer pistol after shooting death of airman
I know some people who went into the air force out of high school. They are idiots.

Given a large enough group of people you will have examples of just about anything (including idiots)

Another example, it's estimated that 1-2% of all military members are part of or connected to an illegal gang organization.

bl4ckneon··on YouTube No Translation
Yes, for CMS channels, which would be your movie studios, TV studios, etc. They have an option to block certain countries from watching it. If you are around in YouTube often enough you will find a video or two that will say something like "this video isn't available in your region/country"
bl4ckneon··on Claude Integrations
I am sure they are already doing that. To think that an AI researcher is doing essentially api integration work is a bit silly. Multiple efforts can happen at the same time
bl4ckneon··on Internet in a Box
Well there is nothing stopping any school in the developed world from loading this on to a pi or something and having everyone use it too. It's free and open source (from what I can tell).

It's aimed at places with little to no, or unreliable, internet. So if you have normal internet speed there is nothing you can't get that's on the box. Also it seems that its not even a curated Wikipedia, it's just a full clone of it (assuming for whatever language your downloading)

bl4ckneon··on Everything is Ghibli
I thought the same thing, it wasn't a quote about all AI, it was in direct response to what he saw which was a "person" like limbing on the floor in a creepy way.
bl4ckneon··on DoorDash Offering Payment Plans for Food Delivery Sparks Backlash
When I first heard of this I thought it was kinda crazy, who would do a payment plan to get some overpriced takeout delivered food. But like you pointed out, it's more or less the same as a credit card, which I didn't even think of. I guess credit cards are so normalized and has the option to pay it all off at once. Good point!
