Wonder if author name is Alice

I think the paypal response at the bottom needs to be lifted to the top. It's way more terrifying to see "data breach" and "exposed data" when you don't know how many are affected and whether unauthorized access was part of the story or not.

The links to the full testimony from expert witness (https://techoversight.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Exhibit...) is certainly worth a good skim-through (and if you have the time, full read). Very insightful and eye-opening data and quotes from staff at Meta.

This is like someone posting a link to Venmo and you saying "There is CashApp already"

I don't know a lot about The Register, but I thought it was a news platform?

Although, this post surely isn't "news" as much as it is, as you said, a summary of a conversation being held on other platform(s).

So maybe it is just a blog post?

Was this from a specific model or all of them?

lol the title of this post immediately feels like something I'd see on buzzfeed or my google news feed in mobile chrome.

Posting this on Github is a brilliant move by the NSA, and it showing up on HN amplifies it even more.

It's certainly not the first thing they've released (selinux, for one, and then all the other repos in the account), but this repo showing up on HN, with a prominent call-to-action to look at a career with them, is a great way to target the applicants you want ("those who would find this project interesting, because it's just the sort of thing we need them to work on")

Atlassian used to do (maybe still does) this in bitbucket if you open dev tools - a link to their careers page shows up

It'll be funny when his first task on his first day is un-slopping the trough bucket

I only ever played with a sparcstation 5, and mine had a whopping 128MB and felt like room to spare.

This is the beefiest SPARC I have ever seen. Very cool this is running. Getting this set up is no easy feat if you haven't tried before. Props to OP

Google Alerts

These are the ones I look for every time a new model is released. Incorporates so many things into one single benchmark.

Also your blog is tops. Keep it up, love the work.

I've been rolling my own data viz of NFL and NBA stat trends and am curious if this could come up with some better ways to display and analyze the data than I'm currently doing. I would really like to see some solid examples of something similar before investing time (and likely money) into this.

Thanks!

This is very cool to see all compiled and easily navigable.

The thing I want to see next would be the sister calculator: what it would take for a business of X size employees, Y revenue, Z other expenses, to increase wages to these standards.

This feels like it would help to close that gap. Give a business owner a concrete path to take. Just saying something is broken isn't going to get it fixed.

Just typing all this I think I have my weekend project lined up.

Thanks MIT!

So how do we know (other than obvious, NSFW servers) if we are in a server that is not "teen appropriate"? I don't feel the need to prove I'm old af, so if I'm in a server for sports betting, is that not teen appropriate? What about a pokemon server with a lot of swearing? Or just a custom server made by a friend for web dev, but has lots of random politics thrown around?

I really just don't know what isn't "safe" for teens, so hopefully this will be pretty clear somewhere.

OpenAI, ChatGPT, Codex

So many of the things that pioneered the way for the truly good (Claude, Gemini) to evolve. I am thankful for what they have done.

But the quality is gone, and they are now in catch-up mode. This is clear, not just from the quality of GPT-5.x outputs, but from this article.

They launch something new, flashy, should get the attention of all of us. And yet, they only launch to Apple devices?

Then, there are typos in the article. Again. I can't believe they would be sloppy about this with so much on the line. EDIT: since I know someone will ask, couple of examples - "7MM Tokens", "...this prompt initial prompt..."

And why are they not giving the full prompt used for these examples? "...that we've summarized for clarity" but we want to see the actual prompt. How unclear do we need to make our prompts to get to the level that you're showing us? Slight red flag there.

Anyway, good luck to them, and I hope it improves! Happy to try it out when it does, or at the very least, when it exists for a platform I own.

You just gonna leave the title with a typo?

Can't wait til this gets crawled and trained on for the next GPT dataset

I love you, Veronica!

I have yet to encounter a reason to take more than 3oz of liquid with me on a flight somewhere.

Once the restriction was added, it seemed like "oh no how dare you" but in reality, I'm never carrying enough toothpaste to make this a problem.

Are other people truly struggling with this limitation? Feels more like a perceived issue than a practical one.

Very shallow, naive approach to child safety. This is like banning children from riding scooters on a highway. They're just going to use a bike instead. Danger still exists.

VPNs are not the only way around this, so if you want to ban the "method of access" you need to be much more broad, and get the parents involved.

ahhh ok thanks!

Dont even need to read the article if you been using em. You already know just as well as I do how bad it gets.

A door has been opened that cant be closed and will trap those who stay too long. Good luck!

Doesn't work for me? Latest chrome, RTX 4080, what am I missing?

lol this is a very good point

if you have the balls to do this next to someone, they will immediately recognize what you're doing right after they stop (if they stop).

that's gonna be 100x more awkward than asking them politely would have been.

I don't think this is really the idea behind this post

It's about enclosed spaces (airport) or open, quiet ones (hiking)

Why would earbuds be the defacto standard here? Get headphones. They're great, I promise. I'll even send a link https://www.bestbuy.com/product/sennheiser-momemtum-4-wirele...

lol for so many negative points this question has, there sure is seemingly a lot of support too. I guess I found the divide in our community

Am I the only one that has no idea what this is talking about? Even the "About" section just dumps a ton of jargon about something being a problem for "pubs" - which, very unclear from the homepage, is actually talking about bars/places to drink beer/etc in the UK.

But again, now I know it's talking about that kind of pub, what is the actual issue? Some sort of rate being added to something? What rate? Is this related to a rating system? Taxes? Is it affecting the consumer? The owner?

So confused.
