I think GP is (correctly) claiming that you don't actually own your account handle on social media services, including X. But I don't think it was a particularly relevant response at that point in the comment thread, and I agree Meta likely bought the usernames from the band on the various platforms.

ToS doesn't constrain the owner.

Do you think they got the @muse Twitter handle through deception or force? Or again, perhaps through a voluntary economic transaction with the band? I don't really see any reason the band would be silent about this unless they were compensated.

I see this has been covered already in the other thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49629382

> The exact circumstances surrounding how the accounts changed hands are unclear

Maybe, you know, Meta bought the account from the band in a voluntary transaction?

This is a great example of confirmation bias.

It is exactly what he is saying. He's justifying "drivers intentionally try[ing] to drive [GP] off the road or hit [GP]."

Do you think these people don't realize it's wrong, or that they do this kind of things during the 10 minute practical test?

As an engineer, I know what I'm getting paid to deliver is the work product. I don't have too much attachment to any particular set of tools to get there.

> Is it that we might think the 'Harvard study' in question is literally clairvoyant?

Yes, that is a straightforward interpretation of the headline!

It's a pretty straightforward reading of the headline. Of course almost everyone understands it would be impossible. But like, you can also just write more clearly.

You're missing out, for better or worse.

What percent of ChatGPT users do you think know the company behind it is OpenAI? 10%?

Also, "most." Presumably most attempters were not participating in the study's surveys, so it would be impossible for the study to predict for them.

If you know absolutely nothing, though: expect usage of something used by humans to scale with the number of humans.

Only because you've redefined dislike to encompass portions of what most people would call like.

Global population is still rising. In general you should expect numbers to go up.

If you want a 16MB window, use `--long=24` (2^24 is 16M). (I believe this is larger than the default window for zstd level 3, but smaller than the default window at higher compression levels.)

(They do. The "matching" is just a fundraising gimmick; essentially a lie.)

The aside about C++ seems a little confused too?

> C++ doesn’t have this problem at all, since virtual dispatch always goes through pointers and return types are always pointers too.

Uh. C++ can return objects by value. Maybe it isn't idiomatic. And I don't know if there's a convenient spelling like `Self`. But it runs into the same problem, of course -- you would need to know the concrete value type returned to have storage for it.

And Rust has the ~same solution as imagined for C++ here, I think? Have a `DynClone` trait that returns `Box<dyn Trait>` instead of `Self`.

Europe isn't on or remotely near the equator, which is somewhat favorable for launches.

It's not obvious to me that the borrow checker actually knows, so much as it can prove there are no illegal conflicts between mut and non-mut references to the same object.

If you somehow need this property in your programs, I think you can just add a 1-byte member and use pointer equality. (I'm not a Rust expert.)

Refresh rate does kind of matter. 1Hz imposes an average 0.5s latency on any update, which would be obnoxious in some situations.

Read to the end. It isn't really clear how much causality can be inferred from the hours after thing.

The idea that you'd get notified of infringing activity on corporate network and deliberately shift to residential without changing the activity is crazy. Like, it's hard to believe anyone is that dumb.

> Meta also flags a contradiction in Strike 3’s theory that downloads were switched to the home connection hours after the March 2025 warning. Strike 3’s own complaint alleges that Meta’s “off-infra” activity started in 2018, and that downloads on corporate IP addresses continued long after the notice.

Oh. The connection is maybe more tenuous than Strike 3 claims.

Between that and the tenure, yeah.

Grandparent comment has zero to do with the article. It's just GP generically bitching about Meta. (Your "quote" of the comment does not appear anywhere in the actual comment.)

"Avoid generic tangents" / "Please don't complain about tangential annoyances."

Right. If we merely define "dying" to mean something other than dying, it's possible for a not-dying company to be "dying."

Are we getting a new Opus 5.1, then?

I totally believe that someone has gotten it this wrong, but personally I've never seen an SMS 2FA on a Passkey authentication. My most common Passkey complaint is that a service doesn't support them yet.
