They need to improve their spec on writing responses on Hacker News. Or maybe typos are an improvement by design to look human / increase engagement.

Not suggesting anything, but I'm wondering where the culture of having obvious misspellings without editing them out became the norm on HN. It's become the new em dash warning flag for me on forums.

I'm of the same opinion. Also apparently one recipient ended up with HPPD from this medical study, when they essentially only had 30mg of psilocybin every 6 weeks? I think prior history should be checked there.

Two serious adverse reactions were reported after psilocybin, 25 mg, including 1 case of hallucinogen persisting perception disorder.

The psychotherapeutic therapy probably did the heavy lifting for any positive effects. At least from what I can tell, for depression, the magic of psychedelics is the reckoning you're faced with to clean up your act and think of more than just yourself.

Still, always glad to see more studies on psilocybin!

Or maybe just add a script in package.json to run whatever patch-package does (eg, "install:patch": "npm install && patch-package") instead of whitelisting every package to have that power.

For journalists targetted by nation states, perhaps it would be better to use Brave or Chrome inside of Qubes.

Curious why Chrome/Brave is recommended? I don't think any modern browser is better for anti-fingerprinting like the Firefox-based ones, including TOR and Mullvad Browser? Don't install random extensions outside the defaults and you're doing a lot better than a Brave/Chrome install if you want a usable internet.

I imagine the 5% of issues are more likely to be related to Linux itself; then they hop back to a BSOD on Windows with forced updates or a buggy "stable" OS update on Mac.

When it comes to slow forum content, I think it's a fool's errand to try to determine if someone is using AI for their responses. Any of the tell-tale signs of AI are easily skirted by mentioning in their prompt to not do so. It goes back to how you can't sanitize human language which has been an issue with LLM's from the beginning.

Encouraging a culture of not using AI works to an extent, but I also tire of threads claiming the parent post is AI. There isn't a sure-fire way to know one way or another.

You're literally just adding extra parameters to the search request

Saw more options looking for Firefox extensions than Chrome for this, though that might be expected.

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough in my comment that it's a very trivial feature. Would you want a lmgtfy link instead?

edit: The irony that this very submission is probably AI generated? There's no link to their source code, and there's a tab titled "AI Generator" for AI generated playlists?

You could probably vibe-code it if it doesn't exist. You're literally just adding extra parameters to the search request. Hard part is creating the interface for it. Saw more options looking for Firefox extensions than Chrome for this, though that might be expected.

For most apps, yes, they won't require the MEETS_STRONG_INTEGRITY check in the Google Play Integrity API. But if your apps _do_ choose to use that Google Play Integrity API for a strong integrity check, then they won't be able to whitelist GrapheneOS's keys for it to pass. Unless you can convince Google to whitelist them.

Thus it's best if they use Android's hardware attestation API instead, as you can then decide to whitelist GrapheneOS to pass that strong integrity check.

Not OP, but...

Of course you would have to set a temperature of 0 to prevent abuse from the operator, and also assume that an operator has access to the pre-prompt

Doesn't the fact that LLM's are still non-deterministic with a 0 temperature render all of this moot? And why was I compelled to read a random blog post on the unsolved issue of validating natural language? It's a SQL injection except without a predetermined syntax to validate against, and thus a NP problem we've yet to solve.

And what I'm saying is that the people who actually matter are posting here. Because it's a trusted social platform. We want to talk to fellow experts of varied expertise, and I truly appreciate the discussions I have here. Feel free to have discussions of similar value on platforms with smaller, focused communities; I do the same for the tech I know. I do agree bots/astroturfing are prevalent here. But I've had https://news.ycombinator.com as my homepage for ages for a reason, as opposed to literally any other forum. I hope this doesn't become what reddit is now.

Did "hacker news" lose its stallman flavor in favor of venture capital investors? Yes, at the get-go; but that doesn't mean people have sold out their morals. We're all frustrated. We live in a society. At least in the US, you'll just call a representative who's getting paid by lobbyists letting your message fall on deaf ears. But I have seen so many great comments here by people with beautiful minds and good intentions; and sometimes I can even debate with them and get my ass handed to me, because they're much more brilliant than I.

edit: was curious on Luma. Is it basically meetup/radius/partiful/apple invites but for crypto bros?
