Sounds needlessly divisive.

Why not criticize the content instead of the source or medium?

The US cannot produce most of what that TSMC can can. And those US factories aren't rolling yet either.

Hi! I have been following n-gate.com a small bit over the years, because I found it very interesting and it was a rabbit hole I wanted to go down.

I actually setup "xor-gate" for a while, which was trying to be a similar thing co-authored by a friend, but it was too time consuming and we gave up.

Did the author pass? I'm not trying to be crass, but I don't know the details.

I think the HN rule for "curmudgeonly" applies.

> Don't be curmudgeonly. Thoughtful criticism is fine, but please don't be rigidly or generically negative.

I think HN should be a place where I am excited to see what others have to add. When I see a post I am excited to see what takes and spins others have on it. I do want real criticism and a lively debate about important things, but there has to be a balance.

I want to see other comments that seem like they genuinely want to help steer something or build people up. Sometimes I get the impression that's not happening on HN.

Back 4 Blood?

Thanks for sharing. I have been enjoying Davids content for many years and hope he keeps making awesome stuff. The Time Rift Arcade has been neat too.

I'm so confused.

Not that it really matters because almost all the consumer roiter manufacturers are pretty bad, but TP-Link is really, really bad. I would highly recommend not using any of their hardware.

HN ongoing support and disdain for AI is perplexing.

I was given one and it had some fun gimmicks but if doesn't really last beyond a few sessions. The ecosystem is strange and I just went back to a "real" device a bit after.

Wine has had many different DirectX backends over the decades, including one before Vulkan existed obviously.

They added CRC32 lol

Does this meaningfully allow a person to push a modified version to their own TV without using a screwdriver?

It seems similar to operating an arcade or a movie theater and saying that you can have thousands of people enter but then only having space for a couple while still taking everyone's money.

I actually am from this town and I have watched this play out over the last five years. I moved away from Oregon because of these exact kind of problems. My daughter's e-bike was stolen and we had a tracker in it and we attempted to get the police to help us recover it from a homeless encampment where it has been tracked to. We have ever possible way to prove ownership of the bike from beginning to end multiple times over.

The Keizer Police laughed at us and acted like it was absurd that we would try to get our property back or that they would help us in any capacity whatsoever.

I have a video of a KPD officer telling me that he's not going to arrest a junkie because only some spit landed on my daughter because the junkie was spitting on my daughter.

It sucks because Keizer used to be a really nice town and it's where people went to retire. It's where I went to retire as well and that's not how it works anymore.

Oregon is a failed trash fire now. I moved to rural Montana and don't regret a second of it.

Its pretty widely used on HN from what I notice.

Here's a video of some guys de layering the chips for the Nintendo 64 lockout mechanism. It's pretty in-depth and it goes over a lot of different ways they do this.

I remember this source was released a while back and some people hacked it together to run on modern Windows.

Yay!

Copilot charges a 27X multiplier on Opus 4.7 prompts.

What are these Chinese pirate devices? This sounds fascinating.

The problem is that some of us are still on connections that charge per GB in rural areas. Here in Montana it's very common to pay about $0.25 per GB regardless of how much you use, so this is a $1 additional cost per desktop device. Places like public school districts have hundreds of computers and this will be somewhat significant for them.

I think it falls more into the category of needing consent like a crypto miner would. If I use a piece of software to do X and it begins using more resources to do Y that can be a serious issue and is at the heart of this discussion.

We've seen this on HN before as well. Companies targeting blogs and reddit with LLM generated content that "subtly" name drop products or services, fake praise, and even meaningless "support" requests on discussion boards.

The tweet mentions it being in a JSON blob.

Gemini gave 42

I think it's because of Wordpress sites, as their titles often have them and the editor automatically turns things into them. A large part of the Internet has been powered by WP.

What happens if someone does the exploit in WSL?

Why assume people lock knowledge in a box and charge for access?

What did I say was immoral?

An AI researcher can work anywhere they want, can't they? At the minimum they could work in a different field entirely. It seems like a false dichotomy to frame the question around laws.
