I think they mean the fees / commission

I think those attributes might be distributed differently in USAF officers than other branches

I disagree - IMO the idea of having superdelegates is terrible. Any way of picking your party's candidate that deviates from how the candidate is selected in the general is setting…

You might want to investigate this further - IIRC a lot of email services retrieve images in advance server side to avoid leaking whether the client has interacted with the email. …

Do you feel the same way about insurance in general?

For me personally, I placed a bet for my non-favored candidate so that either my person wins, or I win some amount of money. I'm using it kind of like insurance or hedging. Unfortu…

But if their having placed a bet makes your opposing bet cheaper, then it can! : )

I think that this assumes a uniform distribution of "interestingness" in the competing posts across all of those dimensions and I wouldn't be surprised if that isn't the case

Maybe it would help to use a box cox transform on the score distribution?

I've actually thought about free will in the context of wolfram's ideas before, and I like the idea that our minds are computationally irreducible - I think it is a very close anal…

The only person I'd add to that list is Simon Peyton Jones. I could watch them talk all day!

They're saying they put a poison pill in the job listing itself, so if an applicant copy and pasted the entire job listing into an LLM the generated text will have some kind of "te…

Yeah - maybe "user agent"?

I'm not sure what is meant by "exact" here - do they describe their binarisation process at all? This seems more like an XOR benchmark than a rag benchmark, no mention of recall or…

Maybe scrub cookies and authorization headers by default, but make them an opt-in for bugs where they're relevant? Edit: it looks like this is already the case!

> I suspect we will need to move from sequential modelling to graphical modelling to level-up again, though. Out of curiosity, would you mind elaborating on this?

This seems very reasonable, similar to GREASE with tls.

With a Turing complete language, you can't know whether a given program eventually yields the string, or continues indefinitely

The more I've used the language, I'm starting to think that this decision makes sense in the context of Zig. Common string operations involve allocation, non-constant time access, …

> Please don't comment on whether someone read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that". From the HN guidelines…

I have a hard time believing those are all honeypots. I think it is more likely that deployment configurations (with LBs, proxies, etc) are more varied than the author expects. It …

I don't think we should be regulating things from a place of "I can't imagine ever needing X; we should mandate technological controls to prevent it." We should regulate things as …

Aliasing is one example of the huge-array-of-bytes abstraction being broken
