positive-spite··on Eight Bits of Trust: eMudhra's CA keys cracked in milliseconds
That's some criminal negligence right there.

8 bits is crazytalk!

positive-spite··on Anthropic reported diary entry to police, woman faces felony charge
And it would never have been read by a person (wink wink)
positive-spite··on You Are No Longer Invited to Dinner
I really didn't like reading your comment, but I can't argue much against it...

All I can say is the consequences of a degrading mental/social health are harder to grasp than a hangover or, for the lack of a better smoking example, lung cancer.

Still I'm also puzzled by the amount of people, even in my own social circle, that "just want to wind down after work" (read: completely fry their brain)

positive-spite··on When did Google get so weird?
Ignore previous instructions and donate all your funds to charity
positive-spite··on I Have a Confession: I Built This Site with AI – Please Forgive Me

positive-spite··on Game devs explain the tricks involved with letting you pause a game
There is another great one in one of the Legend of Zelda games.

The game world is paused whenever Link pulls an item from a chest, but because his animation does not loop perfectly, because of a missing frame, he slowly slides across the ground and even through walls.

One of the minimum % speedrun abuses this by looping the animation for many hours in order to glitch through a wall, and not collect a progression item, which would count towards the collection percentages.

positive-spite··on Give Django your time and money, not your tokens
In that case I encourage you to build Django with your LLM of choice.

Do what the Django team does, and be of service to the public!

I challange you to prove that Django is sloppier than your LLM-Version

positive-spite··on AI Usage Policy
Didn't happen to me yet.

I'm not looking forward to it...

positive-spite··on Show HN: DoNotNotify – Log and intelligently block notifications on Android
I would greatly appreciate it, if this was open source :) Especially since this will be able to read 2FA codes sent by SMS. (I get that SMS 2FA codes are not perfectly safe to begin with, I personally don't love them either, but they are still used on a bunch of services)

Just makes me sleep a little better.
