cluckindan··on AfD Leak: What 421,179 Hacked Emails Show about the German Far Right
HN doesn’t like the wrong political discussion.
cluckindan··on AfD Leak: What 421,179 Hacked Emails Show about the German Far Right
First they came for my email address…

I was referring to the Windows 3.x screensaver. :)

Cool story bro. Heroin use is practically nonexistent in Finland, opioid addicts use cheaper and easier to obtain alternatives.

Never heard of either. Are they some sort of ”kingfluencers”?

So that’s where the name ”idlewild” came from!

>My pediatric neurologist at the time actually suggested trying some wine

And people still believe anything doctors say.

Alcohol is not a good treatment for anything except acute methanol poisoning, and maybe as a topical disinfectant/antiseptic.

Long-term alcohol use will cause tremors, and many alcoholic beverages contain comparatively large amounts of beta-carbolines.

Whatever.

If you often feel that way, the problem may not be the ”f*ckin morons”.

Are you a bot?

> because, who the fuck are you? Are you a doctor specializing in my disease? Are you also a sufferer of my disease? Are you a caregiver for someone with my disease? No? Then go away "dude who read something one time".

That’s a bit hostile. I happen to have been following research around beta-carbolines for almost two decades and am curious whether clinical practice follows that research. My replies may be curt simply because I am writing on a mobile device.

It is interesting that you should decide to die on that hill, when the parent poster clearly did not have an issue with my question. It was neither directed at you, nor did it concern your disease.

Are you certain of your own motivations?

cluckindan··on OpenAI engineer arrested in bugging of executive conference room
This is a feature in modern wifi routers and every single one is capable of detecting presence of multiple people within an apartment. With some training, movement can be distinguished from the data.

There are some indications that specific beta-carbolines (harman/norharman) could be a causative factor in genetically predisposed people. Coffee, tobacco smoke and fried/grilled food are the most significant sources.

See e.g. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12311-015-0751-z

Has anyone told you to avoid beta-carbolines in your diet?

We aren’t doing the general public any favors by blurring these distinctions. People can mostly understand that a car usually has an engine, but in this context people can’t tell how the box is moving.
cluckindan··on Artificial Insanity
Are you saying an engine with a steering rack is a car?

Em dashes are underappreciated — they are visually pleasing, not cluttery like semicolons or definitive like colons.
cluckindan··on Hackers activate automatic defrosting in supermarket fridges across Europe
Europe is a geographical and cultural area. The European Union is a union of many but not all European countries.
cluckindan··on Yandex bot traffic down 99% after data center attack
How do you know that?
cluckindan··on Artificial Insanity
Neither a chat or an API are an LLM.
cluckindan··on Artificial Insanity
I don’t see people driving engines around, since that is impossible. You actually need the rest of the car around the engine to have it function as a drivable vehicle.

It is a pretty practical distinction.

cluckindan··on Artificial Insanity
It is a practical distinction. An engine is not a car.
cluckindan··on Artificial Insanity
An LLM did not do those things! An agentic harness around an LLM did those things.
cluckindan··on 3rd Yandex Cloud Data Center Was Hit
Yes, capitulate to the attacker. Cease to exist as a country, nation, people, culture. Presumably that is an option!

That’s what the autoclave is for.
cluckindan··on We're working on a new RuneScape MMO
Doom is actually a 2.5D game and it cannot have free look or rooms over rooms. Quake can have both, since it’s genuinely a 3D engine.

Anthropic has been putting the clamps on the Pope trying to get that endorsement. This seems to be a continuation.

Replacement of generic office workers has been tried many times now and every time it has ended up in business catastrophe.
