I meant "easy for a non technical person to use". Things like limewire were dead easy back in the beginning. The isps were not paying attention, so you did not need a VPN, there was no setup or anything it worked right after you downloaded it. So it spread in a socially viral like way very quickly. And was being used by fairly non-technical people without assistance.

They do seem to make it easy to push people over any moral objection to piracy. Often more because of fragmentation than price, but pushing the price makes it easier. And the platforms (Jellyfin as one example) make sharing what you have with family/friends easier now also.

I don't have a great view, though, whether this is even visible to the streaming platforms. I suspect they don't really lose much notable revenue from piracy anymore. While it's matured some recently, it's not as easy as "download limewire".

The Precogs don't see what you're gonna do, they see what you're gonna do if you're not stopped.

Ah, that was the first one I owned. The little 1520 4 color pen plotter you could get was incredible. Printed on receipt paper. It was also eventually my bridge to the BBS world via the 300 baud vicmodem.

The companies that don't want you using the lite version are waiting for full version to completely go away before blocking the lite one. No sense driving you to that. So, check back in a couple months and see if it's all still good.

This would be a bigger deal for the commissary locations outside the US, though I see none are on the list. Many of the very junior enlisted make very little money (~2400USD/month), and the low pricing at the commissary helps quite a lot. In the US, you would typically have some affordable off-base options. Overseas, it depends. Many of the locations are remote, or in places where the local groceries are significantly more expensive.

There is a Configure type subsystem, so you'll see stuff like this: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/156277/changes#diff-4...

  -g
  --grow

Grow (append to) the specified zip archive, instead of creating a new one. If this operation fails, zip attempts to restore the archive to its original state. If the restoration fails, the archive might become corrupted. This option is ignored when there's no existing archive or when at least one archive member must be updated or deleted.

They could even start identifying "pre-crime" :)

Not as far fetched as it sounds even. Plenty of not-quite-a-crime things they could track if desired.

I'm no expert, but it feels like this exact thing is how it ends up eating itself. For two reasons.

- Eventually the universe of "provably done before" is now mostly LLM genned code. So the training data quality starts a slow decline.

- That it's "good enough" now for 90+% of the work kills the pipeline for any new human software experts. So they never gain the experience and insight to be able to steer the AI to produce ok-ish code. Existing experts age out. This cycles with the bullet above over time. And at some point we're stalled, all code is now mediocre at best and while output is high, innovation/evolution is low. Or whatever innovation we have is coming from a very small circle without much natural competition.

A fairly deep dive into it

Scapegoat as a service. You hire them to put a stamp of approval on any silly idea you have, implement it, etc. Then, if it turns out badly, well...it wasn't your fault.

The video talks about "orchestrated objective reduction".

They could just mean that foreign enrollment in US postgrad programs is down significantly, or other forms of specialized visas, etc.

> You can also use "/btw" to have side tangent conversations with the current context

Ah, something I needed, but did not know I needed. Comes up ALL the time. I want to know something that is well off the task, but it's the best time to ask due to the specifically loaded context.

I don't see it via openrouter, but it is in the dashboard if you log into CF.

$3/$0.30/$15 ( input / cached input / output, all per 1M )

Sure. 3.6.9 (which was affected) was the most recent iTerm2 when that CVE came out.

Even newer ones. Iterm2 had CVE-2026-41253 recently. Or things like Tmux.

Health insurance actuaries would be a concern also.

I also think an LLM isn't going to just spit this all out and viola, it boots. I imagine there were many rounds of jtag debug, copy/paste into the LLM prompt, with enough human knowledge/context to say the right thing, suggest some existing implementation snippet, etc.

The responses all seem a little harsh. If you poke through the user's history, this kind of thing isn't new for them, going back to pre-LLM-could-do-this days.

I think the docs are light because the primary goal for them is not to provide everyone with a well documented linux on esp-32-s31 guide, but rather this that they shared:

"I'm currently working on a hackable music player and I used to prototype with the OG esp32, and tbh if I wasn't for Bluetooth audio I'd move on to S3 already" ( from the links in this comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49134987 )

Cloudflare's is $0.05 per GB if your traffic exceeds the 1,000 GB free threshold.

> awk wasn't very portable because you still had the awk,nawk,gawk flavors

Debian and Ubuntu both ship with mawk and Alpine has the busybox flavor of awk (nawk like). MacOS still ships with a default nawk. I don't know the scene has changed much, still many flavors out there.

BitTorrent used hash pinning earlier than that even.

Last I tried, there's still often (not always) fighting with typing, mypy, pyright because of the dynamic nature you mention. I think the complaints about it are sometimes misinterpreted as "disliking types".

Might come off like a flippant joke, but it might give you what you're after.

> reasoning-token clustering at 516/1034/1552

Interesting. So 516 probably means initial 512 byte buffer and a 4 byte header. Then 516 + 518 = 1034...so another 512 + 4 byte header + 2 bytes for a linked list ref or similar, 1034 + 518 = 1552, etc.

One area I think is really going to get slaughtered by LLMs are marketplace plugins. Those monthly fee plugins people release for things like Jira, Shopify, Salesforce, etc. There's a subset of those that don't have some backend that's hard to replicate, and asking an LLM to reverse engineer and make your own plugin is trivial.

When it was, it was typically some amount less than inflation. 1-2%

Maybe not, but I have the feeling Google doesn't like that FF continues to support manifest v2.
