I guess we won't know if that's what was used (and maybe even provided as part of the prompt given that both Alpöge and Mathew are mathematicians) since they decided against sharin…

I don't think it is nonsensical at all. The author and his collaborator both appear to be bright people, so there's a good chance they had to offer non-trivial insights to guide th…

I mean the front page is full of LLM smells, so presumably the games are made that way too. And that's fair; this whole thing could be one-shot with any of the leading models.

> got flagged for some reason From a quick look at your profile, the majority of your submissions have been Show HNs. HN only allows some fraction of your submissions to be Show HN…

You may find tools like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/consent-o-mat... useful then.

And the cookie consent form is one of those that require you to click a gazillion toggles. Hasn't it been established now that opt-out must be no harder than opt-in?

Time for https://itsid.cloud/index2.html to be acquired by one of the big players, I guess.

The time is ripe for deterministic AI; incidentally, this was also released today: https://itsid.cloud/ - presumably will be useful for anyone who wants to quickly recreate an open…

Based on https://github.blog/changelog/2026-03-25-updates-to-our-priv... , it looks like they are going to go for “legitimate interest” which seems clearly overridden by data subje…

Would you be able to comment on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47522876 , i.e. explain the legal basis for this change for EU based users? If there is none, you may have to e…

What is the legal basis of this in the EU? Ignoring the fact they could end up stealing IP, it seems like the collected information could easily contain PII, and consent would have…

The endorsement system already works along that line: https://info.arxiv.org/help/endorsement.html It's probably not perfect but in practice, it seems to have been enough to get ri…

Has the Apple situation really improved? I'm probably out of the loop, but last I checked, to put an app somewhere that's not the official App Store, they required you to pay their…

The workaround for me is to always resize by clicking Alt, right click, and drag. At the end of the day, that's probably just straight up easier, since you never need to bother get…

Does Germany require that all DNS providers block Anna's Archive? I thought that was mostly handed for ISP DNS providers.

I remember Tor being significantly more usable, and not having random 3 second delays on websites.

How about Quad9?

One thing it should mean is that anyone using Cloudflare is doing so while risking that its CEO suddenly pulls the rug and closes down the service; not a dependency you want in you…

> just said "no go ahead, keep building"? What happens to the companies if they just keep building? As the article also touches upon, this already happened in the particular case o…

So, publicly admitting that you broke the rules and are part of the reason we can't have nice things. Why?

Another meta simulation of the thing we're already doing, because apparently we needed to simulate commenting on a simulation. I'm sure the AI-generated cynicism will be indistingu…

It's still pretty confusing: Uunchecking the box doesn't seem to do much (is it actually unchecked when you click it? There's still a checkmark); you still have to click Accept to …
