I don't think I ever felt as if Alyx was hitting on Gordon when I played the game. Fangirling, sure, but that's it. I can fully imagine Gordon's legend building up over time, however justified it might be. It didn't feel like pandering, just that you're amongst a bunch of very desperate people who've built up a myth around what happened in Black Mesa to help them keep going.

I mean if you’re just going to sling ad-hominems around and invent your own argument so you have a chance at winning it, sure. I’m not aware of the specific RFC’s du jour that are used for auto-configuring routers. But after spending some time looking it up, it seems relatively niche (not as widespread as UPnP), and it appears the last 3 routers I’ve owned don’t support it. (I run an openbsd box with pf currently, but my unifi gateway before that didn’t support it, and the shitbox gateway Comcast gave me before that certainly didn’t support it. I could run a service on my openbsd box to support it but it wouldn’t make a difference because I’m perfectly capable of editing my pf.conf as it is.)

But if you’re gonna dig up other posts of mine to try and get a dig in at me, maybe at least read the rest of the post? You certainly haven’t done a good job of that so far.

Because I indicated that of course a protocol like this ought to exist, but what percentage of users of the broader internet are actually running a router that supports this? If you wanted to come out with a video calling app that only worked if your users had PMP working, what market share would you be losing out on? That’s the topic of discussion here after all (not that that’ll stop you from inventing your own discussion as you’ve continued to do.)
I have an Indian colleague whose dad was in some kind of coma for few months after an accident. He had a real crazy time keeping the house running. His dad's number was attached to all kinds of bills - electricity, gas, milk, water, internet, cable, newspapers etc. Most of the services would send a verification sms to his dad's phone for any kind of interaction. No one knew the password. And it turned into a major nightmare. It wasn't just a question of paying the bills. Lot of these services had to be shutdown or have settings changed temporarily. And each one had a different set of documents/processes required to prove he was a relative.
So is CGNAT "real" ipv6?

Asking for a friend, like, what all the ipv6 use in the world is.

I'm curious. On the other side of CGNAT, you know, the mobiles, can they individually address each other, or can they only talk to each other through the CGNAT? I honestly don't know.

It's basically what every DOS graphics program has been doing before Windows. I'd say the article is being uncharitable here--a setup program isn't an OS. I'm sure MS made enough from Win 3.x to cover a graphical DOS setup program.
>Pyramid schemes are illegal, but Multi-Level-Marketing schemes are legal.

In this case, this wouldn't even fit the mold for a multilevel marketing scheme, or even affiliate marketing. There are real cash flows detached from a buy-in both of those schemes.

Again, there's cash flows underlying shares of a company. There's not in the case of a digital asset that people refer to as a coin or token.

> I'm interpreting the situation as a revolt against US and British influence over the gold market as the productive capital moves to Asia

This doesn't make sense. If you think gold is the new dollar, this is a story about gold being flown into America. Mostly from Britain, because of historic financial ties, but also from elsewhere.

One thing I like about IPv6 is the lack of CIDR so that every IPv6 address always has the same 48 bit site prefix and then 16 bits of subnets and than 64 bits of host. It is easy to remember the 48 bit prefix and then you can actually just sequentially number subnets and hosts if you want so an address can be prefix:1:1 if you want.

One thing I hate about it is that they used 64 bits for host which is just absurd. 32 bits or even 16 bits would have been plenty for a single broadcast domain.
The entire issue I have is that there was no substantiated evidence from Elon either, the public is left to speculate as to why.

Correct. Meanwhile in the “Count to the Eschaton” series, all the bad guys know enough of psychohistory to do a lot of damage. The future does not at all go according to the plan made by the good guys, and as time goes on a greater and greater percentage of the population knows and employs the mathematics of psychohistory in their daily lives.

In fact, that mathematics turns out to be much more widely applicable than mere Psychohistory, since it applies to all systems of all types and purposes, not just human societies. A small system like a web server is simple enough that you or I can confidently predict its eventual failure; the hardware simply doesn’t last forever so eventually a disk will fail or a capacitor will pop or whatever. But the company running the web server is a much more complex system that is much harder to predict. Does the company fail if it pivots to a different market and turns off the web server? Or if the cleaning lady unplugs it once a week to vacuum? If you want that particular web server, or the pages it serves, to last forever then you really have to design that corporation well. You don't want it to divert from the plans you gave it when the market changes and there is more profit to be made elsewhere. In fact to keep that web server running over the long term you really might have to design the society around it so that the situation _doesn’t_ change too much. Society will keep changing as fads come and go and people are born and die, but you want it to always orbit a chaotic attractor of your choosing in the phase space of possible societies.

The series takes this idea to its logical extreme, giving the main characters access to and control over larger and larger systems until they are controlling vast galactic superclusters. The degree to which the many myriad intelligences, human and otherwise, in those vast systems can carry out the main character’s purposes over deep time depends on how well the rules they have devised work and how well those intelligences understand and implement them.

Nobody actually knows what year Jesus was born, so setting "1 AD = Jesus' first full year of life" wouldn't be accurate. It's more or less the same puzzle as COBOL's alleged default.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_of_the_birth_of_Jesus#Acc...

The current year numbering is because a monk called Dionysius Exiguus thought the existing system of numbering the years since Emperor Diocletian was stupid as Diocletian persecuted Christians. Dionysius decided the year in which he invented his calendar was 525 years since the birth of Jesus and created the Anno Domini system.

Dionysius didn't really explain why he thought Jesus was born 525 years ago (in December of 1 BC). Many historiographers have tried to understand his logic. Thankfully, unlike COBOL programmers, Dionysius documented his reasoning for picking 1 BC as the reference year, so we only have to argue about whether he was correct.

So your idea is to open up access so all the IT orgs that can't keep their systems secure ...

... which is ... virtually all of them ...

get p0wned on a massive scale? You know, now with AI powered assaults for extra special vulnerability levels...

And then a magic wand happens, and the IT orgs that couldn't even install patches will be able to back-discover all the compromised hard drive firmwares, rootkits, and nth-level security holes after the fact?

I get a NAT wall isn't perfect security. But pretending it is NO security is disingenuous.
Which of these scenarios is more likely:

* The government is paying claims for people who are 150 years old.

* The database is using 150 year olds as a sentinel value for a missing data.

Given that the people making the claims for the former are reportedly young people (who thus have less experience with the quality of data in actual databases), who are outsiders and thus have not had training on the actual data entry procedures for the database in question, I find it extremely plausible that they made a search term for old claimants, claimed it as clear fraud, and never realized (or even bothered to ask) that it could just be a sentinel value. Especially given Musk's history of contempt for experts who tell him he's wrong, I don't think Musk's explanation that it's fraud holds up to any scrutiny, even given a lack of knowledge of the particulars of the database in question.

> The single most nakedly corrupt government body in probably the past century?

The last president was forced to issue multiple preemptive pardons for his own family after being dogged for years by serious corruption allegations. That probably counts as worse and it isn't even particularly outrageous by the standards of the US Congress, it seemed to be pretty routine stuff. I'd expect most members of the US congress to struggle if real scrutiny was bought to bear since their financial circumstances often don't appear to make sense.

Then beyond the personal corruption there is the lobbying network that constantly tries and succeeds in writing law for various unsavoury interest groups. Realistically if Musk is doing something corrupt - TBD in my opinion - his major mistake is being directly associated with the changes, he should have learned from the experts and done it discretely like everyone else does.

I wonder how widely this question is asked.
Not sure that's the right distinction. Many people watch performing artists or professional athletes and wish they could do what they see, regardless of whether or not they realize they could not (and some who definitely cannot don't realize that they can't).

Very few people, relatively speaking, can read source code at all, and even fewer think wow, I wish I could have written that. Some do, for sure.

Very few people, again, relatively speaking, who only use software wish they could write it, or have the slightest inkling of what it takes to operate, say, Microsoft 365. And almost nobody wants to do it.

Many, many people wish they could have been Wayne Gretzky, Michael Jordan, or Simone Biles, to name only a few. Comparatively, almost nobody has even heard of Ken Thompson or Niklaus Wirth, let alone wanted to be them.

Similar boat here. I used to hate running and joked that it was playing sports without the fun game part. Why would anyone want to do that??

I'm not running any races or training for anything in particular. I just run for me and my physical and mental health several days a week. It's my "me" time. I definitely get it now.

Did DOGE reveal anything, or did Musk just make an unverified claim?

If the claim is true and it's really a case of fraud, isn't that a case for the courts and DOJ to handle?

Or he is really trying to undermine trust in the government, like his false Gaza condom claim?
Rundeck uses this with its Docker images, though I haven't seen it anywhere else. Has anybody really used it in anger?
And while that's not an unreasonable rebuttal, my first argument (in agreement with yours) is that Google does not sell their users' information, and neither does Apple.

Being up in arms about the lack of privacy from Google is fair, and something I agree with. But Apple doesn't offer dramatically more privacy from Apple that I'm aware of. Both allow, but discourage, free accounts, and run ad networks (that they don't sell user information on)

I'm not even arguing there's no difference, just that there's less than everyone likes to pretend

I have a couple cars, some german. It absolutely does not cost $700 to change a dead battery any more that it costs $100 for a bottle of water. The cost of goods is cheap. You do need to tell the computer it is a new battery, since it adjusts charging voltages based on battery age, and if you don't do this it may overcharge the battery.

Talking to the onboard computer is free beyond the initial equipment and it isn't even locked or anything, tools that can do this can be had for cheap, connect to your phone via bluetooth etc.

It is related. The belief that a phone number maps to a single person, the one paying the the phone bill, is a form of belief that a phone number uniquely identifies an individual. The reality is that the number identifies two individuals: the mom paying the bill and the user of the phone.

Trump and Musk are not truly worried about debt. Their current top goal is to commit to trillions in future debt to cut taxes for the top 0.1% of earners. The current Treasury estimate is these tax cuts will cost $4.5 trillion and accumulate to the wealthiest in the country.

Putting aside the particular accusation that I have raised for a moment, I am curious to understand whether Hacker News (HN) has established any formal, informal, or otherwise broadly accepted community guidelines, rules, policies, or best practices regarding the usage of comments generated with the assistance of artificial intelligence, specifically through ChatGPT or similar AI-driven language models.

My inquiry is motivated by the observation that AI-generated text has become increasingly prevalent in online discourse, and different platforms have adopted varying stances on whether such content is acceptable, encouraged, discouraged, or outright prohibited. Some online communities prefer organic, human-generated discussions to preserve authenticity, while others are more permissive, provided that AI-generated responses align with the spirit and intent of meaningful discourse.

Thus, within the context of HN’s commenting system, does the platform have an explicit policy, a tacit expectation, or any historical precedent regarding whether AI-assisted comments are permissible? If so, are there any specific constraints, recommendations, or guiding principles that users should adhere to when leveraging AI for participation in discussions? Furthermore, if such a policy exists, is it officially documented within HN’s guidelines, or is it more of an unwritten cultural norm that has evolved over time through community moderation and feedback?

I would appreciate any insights on whether this matter has been formally addressed or discussed in past threads, as well as any pointers to relevant resources that shed light on HN’s stance regarding AI-assisted participation.

Ask HN: What is the most hackable (not crackable) electric car?
As background, I'm a relatively deep IT/Dev/Ops geek, and I have a pretty extensive home automation infrastructure (through Home Assistant, MQTT, ESPHome, and some custom stuff).

I currently have a Tesla, and while I like the car, there are some annoyances. There's decent third-party support for telemetry and commanding using the Tesla Custom Integration on HACS, but it's never really been smooth, and it feels like you're working against Tesla, rather than with them. Also, Elon has gone insane, plus the car is getting older.

So what I'm looking for is another electric car, preferably using the NACS, which has good range (I can look this up) and is relatively hackable (this is harder to research). I'd like to be able to get geolocation, battery status, and environmentals as a bare minimum (I use these all the time on the Tesla app and in HA).

Do you have any advice on brands and models to check out (or avoid)? Thanks in advance!

> I mean... We constantly hear that European colonization was due to Christianity ..

Who is "we" and why do they hear that?

Eg: Australia was colonised to take land possession ahead of the Dutch and the French, for finnancial gain, and to utilise the prisoners piling up in hulks on the river flats once the thirteen colonies in North America stopped taking them.

The thirteen US colonies were largely established as hard nosed business ventures with substantial private investments that looked for an eventual return.

The South and Central American colonies were pretty much all established to support plantations for sugar and other goods.
