> I am entitled to know how you've processed it.

How: "your email address is stored in our servers and kept until your account is active, then delete 90 days after. We also may share it with Jane Corp, because you gave us consent to, but not David Inc, because you did not give consent for it"

You are asking "show me the complete record of my ban, because I want to know who did it and I am entitled to it because that requires someone knowing some of PII." It's not that your data ended up somewhere you did not consent to or that they did not tell you how your data is processed, you are just uttering "gee-dee-pee-arr" and expecting to be enough to give you some information about you.

Are you sure that this is the intent of the law?

This article is basically nothing more than a headline - there is nearly zero reporting attached to it...
It also reminds me of that Arcade Fire song about how "we used to wait" for letters to arrive. The novelty isn't just in the thing, it's also in anticipation of the thing that you had to take out of the dust jacket and set up.
you need a lot more than 2 bidders for the theory to hold. Repeating the auction just seems pointless, but another avenue could be for the assets to not be sold, and the claimants to receive 100% of the equity of the business. Then over time they can potentially see a better recovery than what they are getting from a sale.

I know you jest, but I think it wouldn't be a bad idea at all. There are languages whose grammar forces the speaker to explicitly clarify the source of information; Eastern Pomo, for example, has different verb forms for whether it's something you know first hand, saw, are repeating, or deducing. I imagine it's not only useful for the listener, it also helps the speaker realise if maybe they are building a shaky argument to make a point. I, for one, would be interested to see that system in English, it could lead to interesting developments.
The claim that he owns the account is not the same as claiming to own its contents. E.g. a landlord that owns an apartment typically does not have a claim on their tenant's property in the apartment, except under special circumstances. They may have some liability for their tenant's property in some cases, e.g. if they knowingly allow a bomb factory. But Section 230 is an explicit waiver for that liability in terms of speech.

Both parties are very interested in limiting the scope of that waiver in different ways, but that's the current law, and it tends to be broadly interpreted.
What is a "cope out"? I've never seen that term and googling doesn't show a definition for that phrase. You use that same phrase - "a lazy cope out" - twice.

Then why not 60 Minutes? That is the traditional interview one does ahead of an election. He had tried before, and walked out in disgust when given even the slightest fact check. It would seem the only critical interviews he can finish are those he's too stupid to realize are making him look bad ("I don't want testing").
From what the internet says, it didn’t go to the highest bidder.
It is useful for me to help calibrate my predictions. Right now, I can look at the cabinet picks and policy statements that the incoming administration has announced and make some estimates about what impacts that will have, and I can do the same 4 years from now. But unless I remember to compare my thoughts about what might happen after reading this article to what actually happens after waiting a year, those predictions won't get any better.
This should be flagged: it’s hyperbolic, not actual news, isn’t very interesting, and doesn’t create good discussion.
However, given how low-level a language C++ is, we can actually break this assumption by setting i to y-x. Since &x[i] is the same as x+i, this means we are actually writing 23 to &y[0].

But that is undefined, you can't do x + (y - x) ie a pointer arithmetic that ends outside of bounds of an array. Since it is undefined, shouldn't C++ assume that changing x[..] can't change y[0]

edit: welp, if I read a few more lines into article I would see that it also tells it is undefined
Given how much the US is a target for hackers, it’s probably a good thing that we stick to analog technology because it’s far harder to tamper with. Mailed ballots are a great example. The only thing that I really want fixed is tax returns but the lobbying is strong with that one.

Does it really matter? While it may not adhere strictly to the rules of grammar, it's not so incorrect that it becomes confusing or changes the intended meaning. This is simply how language evolves over time.

Have you lost a loved one because health insurance refused or delayed payment for treatment? I can't take you seriously when you say the system isn't that broken when I see people sharing their experiences of how people died and suffered unnecessarily because some health insurance company fought them on it. How is that not insanely broken?

Here in Germany, I've never had to worry about whether my healthcare would pay my treatment when I've had to go to the hospital and had to be operated on. The idea that this is possible in other countries is unfathomable to me. I didn't choose to have whatever illness I might have. My doctor decided the best way to treat my illness. Why does some third party get to decide "but nah bro, it can't be that bad, let's just wait and see how the patient does in a week or two". Why can they override what a doctor thinks is best?

And why are there people like you who thinks "it's not that bad/broken".

Show HN: Running local LLMs inside Godot
Hey everyone! I wanted to share something we’ve been working on: NobodyWho, a Godot plugin that brings local LLMs into game development. It’s completely offline—no API keys or internet.

The idea is to use language models in ways that feel alive and interactive: smarter NPCs, dynamic storytelling, branching narratives or even creating ai-driven game logic. It’s open source, and we’re really excited to see what others might build with it.

Key Features

- Runs Locally: No network or external services—everything stays on your machine. This is also true for the end user who will play the game.

- GPU Acceleration: Leverages Vulkan (Linux/Windows) and Metal (MacOS) for fast performance.

- Multiple Contexts: Its possible to have multiple contexts only from one model without incurring the overhead of loading another model (you still pay for the kv-cache).

- Embeddings: Make interactions smarter by understanding meaning instead of just keywords. For instance, “I’ll slay the dragon!” and “The beast must die!” are treated as similar ideas and can be used as triggers in you game.

- Sampler: Adjust settings like temperature or penalties, letting you control tone and style for each character or scenario.

- Real-Time Streaming: Generate dialogue word-by-word for a natural, immersive feel.

What’s Next?

One of the things we’re most excited about is exploring is
LLM-driven game logic. Imagine an NPC who, when asked to open a locked door, triggers an in-game event—or a player influencing the environment just by talking to a character. We want to connect what characters say with what they can do in the game.

We’re also tackling:

- Context Shifting: Ensuring conversations flow naturally, even over long or complex interactions.

- Memory Books: A structured way to store important narrative events, player choices, or character relationships, so NPCs can “remember” and refer to past interactions.

- Contextual knowledge about the game state: Using vector databases to store and retrieve information about the game world and player actions.

Try It Out

The plugin is open source and available on [GitHub](https://github.com/nobodywho-ooo/nobodywho). If this sounds like something up your alley, try it out, and let us know what you think. We’d love your feedback—and if you like it, a star on GitHub would be amazing.

I just found this while researching for my other comment in this thread; re: "Fund of Funds Investment Agreements",

Would Rule 12d1-4 (2020) apply to holding funds versus holding individual stocks and/or ETFs? What about the 75-5-10 rule for mutual funds?

From https://www.klgates.com/SEC-Adopts-New-Rule-12d1-4-Overhauli... :

> Rule 12d1-4 will prohibit an acquiring fund and its “advisory group” from controlling, individually or in the aggregate, an acquired fund, except for an acquiring fund: (1) in the same fund group as the acquired fund; or (2) with a sub-adviser that also acts as adviser to the acquired fund. [4] Rule 12d1-4 requires an acquiring fund to aggregate its investment in an acquired fund with the investment of the acquiring fund’s advisory group to assess control
How does this compare to other comparable containers? Because that relative usage would show us if "it is thriving" is acually true.

```
for repo in node python php ruby golang; do

echo "${repo}: $(curl "https://hub.docker.com/v2/repositories/library/$repo" -H 'Accept: application/json' -s | jq .pull_count)"

done

node: 5457781829

python: 7821948426

php: 1208701378

ruby: 1468243407

golang: 2272339163
```

Or: it's the last in line for these alternatives.

Also, containers build on other containers. E.g. the highly popular phpmyadmin or nextcloud images build on top of php. So each "nextcloud" pull, will result in a pull for php too. Are those developers? Does that mean hundreds of millions less pulls?
UK GDPR applies to anyone processing UK residents' data. EU GDPR applies similarly to EU residents' data.

That is why American companies that deal with people in those countries comply with both. Some American websites block traffic from both.

> But my point is that it's not.

This is entirely a matter of opinion whether you believe that a democratic process should be able to direct individuals' funds to public works projects or not. I believe that it is. But when you assert one way or the other you're challenging an axiom.

So sure you could completely redesign the taxation system, or you could work with people to convince them that paying taxes actually confers benefits.
I don't believe the "I'm entitled to all messages discussing me because of the GDPR" is correct, though the UK GPDR may be different in a way I don't know about.

It's an interesting take (what is "data" anyway? does it include "the CEO thinks <person> is a dick" if that record is kept on company infrastructure?) but I don't think it'll hold up in court. If the author decides to press the ICO to take action, perhaps we may find out one day.

That said, scraped data about you definitely falls under GDPR protections even if you never provided any data yourself.
I say this sincerely: The userbase here actually isn't that different from Reddit.

There's a slightly heavier technical leaning, but otherwise most political and social positions are essentially Reddit perhaps owing to Silicon Valley roots and culture.

Damages are only required (in certain countries) for a legal case of slander to be successful, they're not needed to fulfil the definition of slander.

It would be slander if I said the words "HN user drw85 has never said a sentence that didn't contain racist abuse", even if my saying it has no impact on you or anyone at all.

(Just as it would be libellous - the equivalent of slanderous but for written rather than spoken lies about people - if I wrote a comment here on HN accusing you of being a mass murderer, even if you don't notice the comment and no law enforcement ever consider it of interest nor any other effects.)
>Wordpress.org is IIRC run by Automattic, which receives payments from the UK so there is even a way to enforce fines.

No. WordPress.org is owned and operated by a private American citizen who receives no payments.

Automattic is a separate for-profit organization which does fall under GDPR. WordPress foundation would also fall under GDPR. WordPress.org does not.

Yea, we were all pretty surprised to hear that WordPress.org is a privately owned and operated site.

> It is not a "rug pull" for someone to stop giving you gifts.

I'm not sure that the developers contributing code from outside the company see it that way. An easy way to tell if contributors see a license change as a rug pull is if the forks that happen after the rug pull get traction.

> The new license seems perfectly reasonable, given how much companies like Amazon have exploited the gift economy to the point where it threatens these startups survival.

Most of the time, though, open source limits growth - and doesn't threaten the original author's startup. This is a really important distinction because there is a trade-off in choosing open source as a marketing strategy - you do potentially face competition from other contributors, users and parasites that will moderate growth.
the literal 1 is not an object in C or C++ hence it does not have an address. If you meant 'x', then also no, oracle() can't return the address of 'x' because of pointer provenance rules.

Wagtail is amazing! It did everything we needed and more. My primary frustration was in building reusable server-side rendered components and "interactive islands" (as popularized by Astro). The Django/Jinja templating language can be pretty verbose and difficult to parameterize reusable functionality. I found myself constantly doing this:

```
{% with field|contact_label as label %}
<div class="relative mt-5 my-3 md:my-5">
<label class="{% if placeholders %}hidden{% endif %} bg-white absolute -top-[9px] block ml-2 px-2 text-black text-sm rounded" for="{{ form_name }}_{{ field }}"
id="{{ form_name }}_{{ field }}_label">
{{ label }}
</label>
```

(the "with" templatetag)

Over time these templates just became very difficult to work with. Part of that is likely also because I've been a full-time React dev for the better part of a decade, and I'm just faster with it.
