i’ll never really understand this comment. why would labs do this if they know private benchmark evals will come out in the next week?

Peter Santenello does a great job of this.

Give it a rest, you've gotten the point across.

I wonder if I could start a US-based company with good data regulation and just serve open-weight models at a competitive price. I feel like the real barrier is just that most companies willing to adopt AI usage enough to make it worth it at this point don't want to be using inferior models.

You've gotta leverage your network and find friends you know who work at Meta/IG. I was able to get my account back without asking friends at IG (because mine wasn't fully disabled just password changed), but people I know who lost their accounts have had to ask multiple people very up the chain at IG to do some special restoration.

I don’t use this account as a personal account. It has 0 followers. It’s solely used for design inspiration.

This happened to my instagram yesterday night while I was asleep. I don't have a particularly high value username (it's probably worth somewhere in between $300-500), but still incredibly frustrating to deal with. True to the article, I had already enabled 2FA last night and it didn't matter.

Thankfully, IG gave me the option of restoring my username when I logged back into my account today.

should be more f’s and da’s in there

I don't follow. It seems obvious that there's more to gain for attackers using AI agents to exploit open source repositories, than there is for good samaritan defenders. In this new closed-source world (for Cal.com), there's nothing stopping them from running their own internal security agent audits, all whilst at least blocking the easiest method of finding zero-days - that is, being open source.

This really just seems like Strix marketing. Which is totally fair, but let's be reasonable here, any open-source business stands to lose way more by continuing to be open-source vs. relying on the benevolence of people scanning their code for them.

Submarine marketing?

A combination of https://selfcontrolapp.com/ and Hammerspoon automation and you can lock yourself out of pretty much everything.

It would be easier if we could just block comments from green users. I get that it loses ~.1% of authors who might have made an account to comment on a blogpost of theirs that was posted here. I'd rather have that loss than have to deal with the 99.9% of spam.

This can't be a to-die-on rule though. Retail would've never bought GOOG, or TSLA, or AAPL if that were the case. Maybe I'm just being pedantic.

Noticeably yes much more than usual. It’s quite bad. I need to start blocking accounts.

Is there any hard evidence that this is true compared to say 20 years ago. I’ve heard it repeated a million times but no one’s ever provided evidence

Who do you think your target customer is? Curious to know if you think the money is in short form, traditional YouTube videos, or even movie studios one day.

Great website btw. The onboarding was very pleasing

what qualifies as old?

This is true! I hadn't thought about it like this to be totally honest. It's hard to point fingers at old institutions, especially given they're mostly located in prime real estate locations across the country (Cambridge, Palo Alto, etc.), and it's not really their fault that they need land to operate.

I recently graduated (class of '25), and the thing I heard most often about my school's management was that over the past couple of decades, they more closely resembled a real estate holding company than a research university.

There's a great student op-ed about _a_ proposed solution (firing the deans): https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2022/11/29/anderson-burea...

Just check comment history, each comment follows the exact same structure

The amount of green accounts that are obvious LLM spam has increased what seems to be 10x in the past couple of months. What's going on?

Anyone who disagrees with this, please check the OP's previous comments. That's all the proof you need.

And then, as an exercise, ask yourself why you were willing to give this comment leniency?

I don't know why more school districts don't force this for essays. It's so straightforward with Google doc editing history too. And yeah, sure, you can get around it if you _really_ want quite trivially, but I imagine it would solve for 99% of students, and force them to actually engage with whatever AI-generated stuff they inevitably type by hand more than they were before.

I've always wished there was a "block comments from this user" feature that didn't rely on vibe-coding my own Chrome extension (and thus not work on Safari where I spent at least 50% of my HN time). I imagine it could even work like Sponsorblock does, and we could crowdsource people who's comments are inflammatory.

I've also noticed that very obviously LLM-generated comments are called out, and the community tends to agree, but those that have any plausible deniability are given far too much leniency, and people will over-index on the guidelines to give them the benefit of the doubt.

I don't think a captcha is the solution, as it'll degrade conversation by an OOM though.

Go Hoos good work Wadehra

This is awesome! Very smooth. I love when people build things to solve their own problems. Hope your son and grandfather enjoy the games :)

you could probably write an extension to accomplish this in a couple of days with GPT-5 now

What was the incentive for companies to train juniors into seniors in the past, post job-hopping era? Curious to know if that incentive has warped in the past two decades or so as someone who's starting their career now.
