throawayonthe··on AlphaProof Code
still a big codebase: https://github.com/signalapp/libsignal
throawayonthe··on The Flash C Compiler
the comment isn't even about the quality, it's about the "from scratch" aspect (used to 'market' it)
throawayonthe··on Ask HN: Which TV do you recommend for privacy?
no, if you're plugging something in just pick a good tv and never connect it to internet :p
throawayonthe··on Show HN: Autonomous root for Tcl Android TV via CVE-2022-22706

throawayonthe··on Today, we hacked what we'd set out to hack: the iPhone
i mean, we already run all apps in separate VMs...

i run Vanadium on GraheneOS with javascript JIT off (the default configuration) and it's fine basically everywhere
throawayonthe··on Tell HN: I unknowingly broke the PHP RCE embargo. I am sorry
yes but if it reached you without an embargo it's kinda already not kept

and you weren't coordinated with

throawayonthe··on PHP2Shell: AI uncovers critical RCE in PHP
well it isn't apple, you should expect a different brand of professionalism :p
throawayonthe··on PHP 8.2.35

throawayonthe··on DeepInfer: High-performance inference framework for DeepSeek models
nice
throawayonthe··on Claude reveals ECDSA curve origins
seems like a pretty bad analogy because, yeah, i don't care about my lock being tested lol? it's not a security device
throawayonthe··on Muse Spark Open
not a metric, it's a parameter used at inference time
throawayonthe··on 11 year old unsoundness bugs found in Rust borrow checker
it's a joke, riffing on the "would rust have fixed this?" referring to any vulnerability
throawayonthe··on Solar panels that plug into your wall
> concerns that the energy being pumped into wall sockets could cause wiring in old homes to catch fire, but he says “that’s never happened in Europe,” despite its widespread adoption.

well old NA circuits are notoriously shittier and lower-amp-rated than in europe lol

i don't think it's a good argument against balcony solar but neither is that a good rebuttal

throawayonthe··on Safe SIMD in Rust, even on the inside
for this specific project, yes, since it seems to have progressed pretty quickly
throawayonthe··on Fingerprints are the new cookies
if your IP is fixed, surely no further fingerprinting is necessary?
throawayonthe··on FDA may allow some toxic chemicals to be added to food without safety review
this is not what i'm talking about at all, in this case it would be a similar situation if the labels said "contains acrylamide, a papermaking precursor chemical" or something else irrelevant to both the purported danger and use/reason for occurrence

and with the vapes thing, they could just say "formaldehyde is a human carcinogen, can cause permanent adverse effects to nervous system, irritate mucous membranes and aggravate asthma etc" instead of talking about tissue preservation yk?

throawayonthe··on European Alternatives
i pay for mailbox.org but i never use the webmailer haha, they support IMAP/SMTP
throawayonthe··on FDA may allow some toxic chemicals to be added to food without safety review
it's weird how they say "One TOR exemption that allows the rocket fuel chemical perchlorate to be used in grain bags..." as well as the article they link to https://blogs.edf.org/health/2019/01/11/fda-perchlorate-in-f... focusing on it being a rocket fuel component

i guess it sounds scary? but it almost implies rocket fuel is somehow involved in grain transport lol. the real reason for its use i guess is to control static electricity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perchlorate#:~:text=control-,s...

this is like that one time people came to my school to talk about vapes, and one of their talking points was "vapes can contain formaldehyde, and formaldehyde is used to preserve dead specimens/tissue samples" ; they did not get my issue with the lack of causal reasoning in that argument :P

throawayonthe··on Apple/macOS silently removed from official Unix registry
would be awesome
throawayonthe··on Apple/macOS removed from official Unix registry
oh no! security measures! scary!
throawayonthe··on What should we tell our students?
CS students should never use an LLM
throawayonthe··on Show HN: Making a flexible "neon" t-shirt with LED filaments
was it perhaps https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroluminescent_wire instead
throawayonthe··on New CRAM method offers giant boost to compressed memory reads
one would hope model weights are already high entropy enough and would not be improved by a general-purpose memory compression algo?
throawayonthe··on Shipping JPEG XL in Chrome
seems to refer to webp not jxl
throawayonthe··on Pixel 11 doesn't yet meet the GrapheneOS security standards and may be skipped
no lol
throawayonthe··on The state of SIMD in Rust in 2026
but like, this isn't the case
throawayonthe··on Ask HN: Who's still keeping a DOS machine up because the business depends on it?
they probably mean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_protection actually
throawayonthe··on Factorio that you can touch
at that point can't you just use the integrated gpu which definitely has access to more ram?
throawayonthe··on 'That's so AI ' What gen Alpha's biggest insult tells us
