cauefcr··on Kiwi Farms is down across all domains as DDoS-Guard terminates service
>If someone is the leader of a mafia and it is known without a doubt and you know their location you should call the police not put it in the news.

Fair enough.

>What does "government leader" means?

>what does "anyone in a position of power" actually means?

I'm not a lawmaker, it's one of those "you know it when you see it" things.

>Man it really didn't take long for people to forget things like the CNN reddit kid dox or even more recent the twitter account from tiktok dox by journalists active still today.

That's exactly why I put the above caveat.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwi_Farms It doesn't seem a very controversial statement.

"Can you just not be confusing and ignore what you want to do with your life? That would mean the world to me."

This is what you said.

Documenting any of:

- leader of a mafia

- any government leader

- billionaires in general

- anyone in a position of power

Investigating their crimes and doxxing them is very different from "lmao look at this piece of shit loser, let's bully it to death".

Were any of them made _for_ stalking/doxxing/harassing? It's a totally different ballpark.

Same for the asymmetry of anonymous KF users vs a random LGBT person, so what's the point?

KF was made _for_ harassment, that's very different.
cauefcr··on Why A4? – The Mathematical Beauty of Paper Size
You need at least two points to determine the slope of the thermometer, 0 and 100 as freezing and boiling point of water makes that reproducible.
cauefcr··on Why A4? – The Mathematical Beauty of Paper Size
Yeah, having metric everything makes it easy to do conversions and correlating with different properties of matter, you're using the language of science (and most of the world), with proper definitions in terms of reality: atoms (for kg), distance in terms of c*some_time, volume related to mass (1ml of water => 1g of water, you can get very precise with temperature as an input). Having a standard for orders of magnitude that's consistent (micro, milli, kilo, mega, giga) is just the cherry on top.

cauefcr··on Ask HN: State of malware in 2022? Share your stories
I went hunting for shitty websites and the browser bugs they abuse, googling for "free paypal money" and similar unreasonable things, I wasn't careful enough, and the machine started crashing and lagging after a particularly nasty pop-under, i couldn't get this install back to working condition after that (and couldn't trust the install, so formatting time). (Chrome on Manjaro)

value === value, fairness was never a feature in capitalism.
cauefcr··on If You Want This Job, We Must Interview You Forever
Could be one of those ~stress interviews~ to ~see if you'll break or harden~ under adversity, I love arguing, so i got the job after one of those, and had the owner explain it to me exactly like that. It was the worst job I have ever held, you dodged a bullet on that one, as bad as it was.

I love the group with myself trick for whatsapp notes.
cauefcr··on 1 in 4 Gen Z-ers plan to become social media influencers
I would argue recognition by your peers is a sort of fame, and many want that without associating it with "fame".
cauefcr··on How fat does a fat binary need to be? (2021)
Just don't compare against tour-de-forces from these geniuses, much easier (and what I do).
cauefcr··on Analytics: Every Web3 game has 40% bots on average
Fuck the cryptocurrency bullshit, hash "mining" is no basis for an economic model.

And that's how you scale mental problems on the cheap, just double the kids again.
cauefcr··on The culture of rejection in computer science publications
There are PR reviews worse than the #2 reviewer of most papers, so it's all about new software or forks, don't even bother upstreaming. /s
cauefcr··on The False Prophecy of “AGI”: A Quick TL;DR
I prefer Gwern's critique of "Tool AI" as a path toward AGI, similar to her 5th point: https://www.gwern.net/Tool-AI

The recent interview with John Carmack on Lex Friedman also made me hopeful that at least people in the field (of AGI research) are working of the issues with the current approach of strapping models together directly on the required input, instead of agents in a virtual world (or worse yet, with some connection to the outside world) that's running as fast as possible.

Gato's [1] more general approach of using different inputs and actions in the same format is probably a good path towards this kind of agent-in-a-world AI, which is much closer to how a natural organism interacts and lives: serially, always-on, and in a universe.

That's because they couldn't log in to complain. Recreating the broken contact form effect.
cauefcr··on Ask HN: Is RSS dying? Or coming back?
It would be nice to have an RSS of your aggregator, but i love it already.
cauefcr··on Brazilian ISP threatens with lawsuit instead of fixing vulnerabilities
Well, i found a state-wide news station (open!) backup server in a port scan of local addresses in my previous Brazilian ISP, everyone living in one big happy switch, so these things don't surprise me anymore.

Edit: at least i had proper IPV6 on that one, current one is a horrible ipv4-only cgnat.

With emojis you usually also get unicode, which is great for all the non-ascii-languages out there.
cauefcr··on Famous HNers and their sites
Ah, yes, thing I do not like is vapid, and half the population is also vapid. :thumbsup:

"females" is just the cherry on top.

cauefcr··on Me and Monotropism: A unified theory of autism (2018)
Well, i do hope you back that assumption with some actual statistics, otherwise you're just using what is "common sense" or your experience with "x people" as a proxy for data.
cauefcr··on A weird epic ramble about Etsy homepages from the middle 2000’s
I am curious now, too, maybe it's about proper linkage for a paperclip-chain?
cauefcr··on The Home Computer Generation
Yeah, specialized computing leading to FPGAs and ASICs is quite an interesting path, I've always wanted to compile my code as a processor instruction/co-processor/fpga thingmajingle to cut down on all the bloat at once, mister is so much on my to-buy list.

Imagine writing haskel and having it become literal hardware, like https://github.com/clash-lang/clash-compiler

cauefcr··on Brazilian Amazon lost 18 trees per second in 2021
Well, just you wait for the 100 year Bolsonaro bullshit censoring of his government corruption https://brasil.elpais.com/brasil/2021-08-08/cem-anos-de-prot... to be lifted, and such number is likely to be updated, and also, Lula did not get convicted.

Edit: trickle down economics has no basis in reality either.

cauefcr··on Show HN: MemScroll – Simple program memory visualizer
Hey HN, i just wanted to show this simple Go program i wrote that had quite a splashy effect (to me), i was inspired by https://justine.lol/memzoom/ but did wanted something that preserved the perceived value of the bytes in the visualization.

I used mozilla's mache[1] for reading program memory, and ebiten[2] for the UI, for the byte to color transformation I chose turbo[3] but it should be easy to change if you're colorblind for something like Viridis or Inferno.

[1] https://github.com/mozilla/masche [2] https://ebiten.org/ [3] https://ai.googleblog.com/2019/08/turbo-improved-rainbow-col...

Any suggestions, criticism and etc. are appreciated!
