> But Apple doesn't give me a legal way to freely run an iOS simulator nor even a macOS VM on my linux machine, I have to pay money, to buy their hardware to see if my site will work on Safari.

Try GNOME Web (Epiphany). It's webkit based, keeps up with Safari, doesn't disable access to the Safari devtools, and it sends the exact same user agent string. Should be essentially bug-for-bug compatible. It's otherwise an anemic browser, but you don't need much for testing.

Haiku OS is similarly hard-line about this, and is also starting from the point of an extremely clean codebase.

Neat stuff, though I can't say AI policy is the biggest priority when I choose projects to use, plenty of projects are using it in a measured and sane way without needing a complete prohibition.

Indeed, I was just giving some perspective on the number (and how it was a 2100 target and not a 2030 target), which is thought of as the "quite bad but the overall order of civilization keeps going" scenario

Note that the original Paris 1.5°C target referred to keeping under 1.5°C for the entire period from 2015 to 2100, requiring sustained action between 2020 and 2030 to have any hope of setting that trajectory. We are so, so far away from that goal. The maximum by 2100 is going to be at least 2.2°C for sure, but 2.5°C and beyond are more likely.

Vi Hart's claim to fame is extremely verbose and meandering math explanations... hope she keeps doing that, because it's awesome

The Polymarket account on twitter is a satire account where half the posts are made up news headlines... maybe switch this link to something else

Tried doing this with Proton Drive one time. It broke in several different ways simultaneously. Doesn't seem to be ready yet, but maybe some day it will be good for this.

I mean sure, you could still win if almost no requests are opening the database in write mode

Is the CGI process opening up the SQLite database for every request...? That would have the most insane contention ever.

Why exactly the fuck did Tor partner with a VPN company? Of course something bad was going to happen. The incentives at play could not be more at odds.

Jev is almost certainly not immune to prompt injection

Ah yes, a random irrelevant anecdote that doesn't prove anything

AI companies should not be allowed to have an internet connection if they keep doing this shit

I guess I'm over-selling by implying it's a solution from scratch. Thanks to the nearby integrals that the software is able to serve up results for instantly, the tool is what lets you quickly explore until you run into something that will support a slight modification, as well as still be beautiful even after the modification. And of course, selection of the interesting questions is perfectly permissible in the ethic they were going for. Thinking about it like this, I could probably do the trick myself... time to refresh on my rusty calculus.

> It looks like OP's most recent post was deleted

Apologies, I had figured out what distinction you were getting at right after writing my reply, so didn't feel the need to keep my misunderstanding up. But thanks for the detailed explanation!

Edit: Actually, I'm confused again. To be clear, it sounded to me from the discussion in the Joe McCann video that there was no tweaking the answer to get the question, i.e. that doing anything other than verification in reverse would have been against their ethic, that the answer must truly follow the question for it not to be cheating. The integral is fixed in place, and then legitimately solved by a highly competent Reshetnikov who is good at this, afforded plenty of time by scheming in advanced (as opposed to the illusion of only taking 3 hours), but is too lazy to formalize their work or is interested to see a 'clean' solution unbiased by their own approach to the problem or by the software that aided their work. And then it's verified trivially using differentiation (something symbolic math software almost never fails at), as opposed to my original misunderstanding that there still would have been uncertainty. Right?

AI capabilities keep getting bumpier and bumpier. There's no reason to believe it won't stall out on a front that it is already quite bad at (correctly formalizing in human language)

As I understand, he was specifically targeting problems that symbolic math software had given up on. He was only using symbolic software to solve the similarly shaped problems first, which allowed him to be fairly confident in his conjecture, as he became quite keen on how to slip his way from the output of symbolic math software from one solvable formula to a closely related formula that broke the software.

Reshetnikov didn't confess to them being reverse engineered, though. He confessed to them being conjecture arrived at after working on the problem for a bit by tweaking similar integrals in symbolic math software / numerical approximations. Every post was a gamble because it could have been wrong.

Of course, that could be a lie, but he came clean about other things that make sense retrospectively.

Joe McCann and his audience discovered that Cleo was a ploy at ragebaiting the math forum in order to drive engagement for more useful proofs. A real-world Cunningham's Law social experiment.

So maybe OpenAI's ridiculous approach to mathematics has value in how it's ragebaiting us to scrutinize and/or come up with better proofs!

> and was wondering why I saw a giant blob of dynamic nonsense instead of a small bit of markup.

It's 4.5x the size of the original. Which sounds bad, until you notice this means it's 2540 bytes and serves the explanatory text in 6x the number of languages. And it's now served with brotli compression, for a total of 1713 bytes. Or 334 bytes if you only request the HTML (which still has a usable page with the full English version of the explanatory text), like a basic scraper or a health check would. So for the vast majority of traffic, it's now half the size of the old version.

I notice it's been through several revisions, the pre-2025 version of the site most people are familiar with is 1270 bytes because it didn't make use of any minification, and it also triggered an unnecessary `/favicon.ico` request because it didn't use the trick to cancel the request.

What makes you think it's edited?

Yep. They recently changed it to require a free account. The days of nytimes gift links being non-enshittified are over.

The NYT subscriber links recently changed, it now requires making a free account to use the link.

But to be clear, the rule is against unofficial mirroring. Officially sanctioned methods are fine.

IIRC the staff will usually intentionally elevate bypass links to the top whenever they see them posted in the comments. (And when a link has already been posted they tend to sink comments like yours that complain without providing a link, lol)

The HN rules are that paywalled content can be posted only if it's trivially bypassable via a free tool. The NYTimes links work on fresh IP addresses as part of a free allowance for new readers, which is why the proxy-based archive website archive.today is able to get through. I'm not a big fan of this being allowed, but there is some thought to it at least, they aren't just allowing anything.

Genocide doesn't actually work as a tactic, especially in an urban setting. It strengthens the victim's resolve. The Palestinian people are not known for giving up on survival.

They don't, that's the point. All of the street view footage is from before the start of the current genocide. Gaza is under one of the most complete internet and media blackouts on earth, even the roaming international sim card loophole has been closed.

Is this a joke? Why would you want to use a random word generator on production infrastructure configuration? Cloudflare should be blocking these malicious/incompetent users, not enabling them.

All of this culture is gone except for Google Doodles. Sterilized to the bone.

The people writing suicide hotline PSAs aren't hopped up on the most idiotic internet mental health pop-science nonsense, and are not based on a random number generator.
