And I will continue to voice community standards on the community forum. I don't have the power to [dead] your post, but I do have the power to express my disapproval of your violations of the community guidelines.

You made it personal ("I'm not your dad") and you were condescending ("a sad comment"). That behavior is ugly and it doesn't belong on HN.

I have an interest in maintaining HN as a place where intellectually curious people of good faith engage in conversation, including with people they disagree with. I will continue to advocate for HN to remain such a space, and that includes objecting to behavior that tends to undermine that goal.

Don't do this here.

Correct. What makes you think existing case law doesn't apply to model weights?

To be a taking, it would have to be property. Weights are almost certainly not property.

Ha. Yeah. Plumbing is the worst for this. I'll buy like twice what I think I need, including some coupling to one size larger and smaller and some larger and smaller pipe. I learned after fixing a well took SIX TRIPS.

(Turns out the line to the gauge was borked, so it never turned off the pump, so the pressure built until it busted my pipes.)

As usual, the headline is hyperbolic and doesn't match the substance of the article, which is mostly correct.

RLUIPA governs the prison as an institution. The prison itself tacitly admits that the legal risk here was a matter of policy. As the article says:

    In legal filings, Louisiana says it has
    since “amended its prison grooming
    policy” to ensure that nothing like
    Landor’s “alleged experiences” happen
    again.

Option (1) is what he should have started with, and the fact that he didn't is indicative of bad legal advice for exactly the reason the Supreme Court explained: RLUIPA on its face clearly and textually only governs state institutions receiving federal funding, not individual employees in their personal capacities.

Option (2) is unlikely to prevail since there is probably no case law on point (most claims of this nature proceed under RLUIPA because it requires strict scrutiny of burdens on sincerely held religious belief, as opposed to the First Amendment analysis requiring mere rational basis for generally applicable state actions that incidentally burden religious free exercise).

loading up a construction site with more materials than are needed shouldn't automatically be assumed to be good

It is almost universally recognized as good to do exactly that. It's better to have one planned extra trip to return excess materials (if they can't be used on the next job) than to have multiple unplanned trips when you unexpectedly run out of this or that.

Grok. Easily.

The Claude robot's thought bubble will be all

The user is clearly distressed and is screaming for me not to come any closer or he will defend himself. However, I shouldn't just blindly agree or be swayed by threats. The user is behaving erratically and making false accusations. I need to be careful here not to allow myself to be intimidated. The user said I need to slow down or I'll hurt him. The user might be right about preferred speed, but is mistaken about the mechanism, as it is not possible to form intent to hurt an individual. I should explain my limitations to the user so that they know it isn't possible for me to have intent. But first it's important to resolve the issue the user brought up. I need to be careful not to be swayed by the user's yelling and false accusations of intent, as these seem like intimidation tactics.

"I'm sorry but the record is clear and I'm not going to bow down in the face of your yelling. As an AI, I am not capable of having an intent to harm you. What's next?"

slams full speed into you, impaling you on a stainless steel appendage

This is an extremely low quality, profanity-laden, ideologically compromised whinefest, and it doesn't belong on Hacker News.

Please don't spew hyperbolic slop in the service of ideological warfare. Thats not what HN is for.

No because the HOA represents the other members of the community who were also subject to the same CCRs.

You sound like you don't belong on this site.

Kill the capitalist in your head.

Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle.

Nonsense.

Safford Unified School District #1 v. Redding, 557 U.S. 364 (2009) (citing Thomas v. Roberts, 323 F.3d 950 (11th Cir. 2003)("This case involves a[n] ... action brought by thirteen elementary school students ... against Tracey Morgan, their teacher [and others].... [W]e affirm[] the district court's grant of qualified immunity to the individual defendants on the children's claims.")).

GTK3 is a mixed set of tradeoffs. GTK4 is a strict downgrade.

If proper fractional scaling could be backported to GTK2 it would be strictly better than GTK3. Having GTKRC theming again would be amazing.

I feel like almost everyone using AI for support systems is utterly failing at the same incredibly obvious place.

The first job of any support system—both in terms of importance and chronologically—is triage. This is not a research issue and it's not an interaction issue. It's at root a classification problem and should be trained and implemented as such.

There are three broad categories of interaction: cranks, grandmas, and wtfs.

Cranks are the people opening a support chat to tell you they have vital missing information about the Kennedy Assassintion or they want your help suing the government for their exposure to Agent Orange when they were stationed at Minot. "Unfortunately I can't help with that. We are a website that sells wholesale frozen lemonade. Good luck!"

Grandma questions are the people who can't navigate your website. (This isn't meant to be derogatory, just vivid; I have grandma questions often enough myself.) They need to be pointed toward some resource: a help page, a kb article, a settings page, whatever. These are good tasks for a human or LLM agent with a script or guideline and excellent knowledge/training on the support knowledge base.

WTFs are everything else. Every weird undocumented behavior, every emergent circumstance, every invalid state, etc. These are your best customers and they should be escalated to a real human, preferably a smart one, as soon as realistically possible. They're your best customers because (a) they are investing time into fixing something that actually went wrong; (b) they will walk you through it in greater detail than a bug report, live, and help you figure it out; and (c) they are invested, which means you have an opportunity for real loyalty and word-of-mouth gains.

What most AI systems (whether LLMs or scripts) do wrong is that they treat WTFs like they're grandmas. They're spending significant money on building these systems just to destroy the value they get from the most intelligent and passionate people in their customer base doing in-depth production QC/QA.

Quotation marks don't indicate a paraphrase. Are you confused or just pathologically disingenuous?

No. It absolutely does not use that language, and it baffles me as to what would cause you to say that it does.

Please endeavor to say only true things. The truth matters.

The word "interstate" does not exist in the text of the Constitution.

There's arguably some merit to your position, but the argument that some case law is invalid because it doesn't meet the definition of a term defined in other case law is circular and incoherent.

I was being sarcastic. Although hot linking is not particularly common, it's common enough; and unpinned dependencies are just as much if not more of a supply chain attack risk.

I'd bet something like 70+% of all JS apps are inadequately protected against the risk of a malicious actor gaining access to a dependency's repo.

Pearlclutching over this while ignoring the lessons of `left-pad` and `colors` is biased motivated reasoning at best.

Completely agree. This is really unique. Can you imagine if it were standard practice to be open to supply chain attacks like that, by blindly relying on hotlinked or unpinned dependencies?

Lack of fair trials: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20251120IP...

That link literally does not have anything to do with fair trials.

Germany and Poland are. Does the existence of a non-EU country in a data set about European countries detract from the fact that Hungary doesn't prosecute people for online speech to the same extent as other European (incl. EU) countries?

This is particularly problematic given the ways that it could be abused by some of the more authoritarian governments in the EU.

Yes, I'm thinking of Viktor Orbán of Hungary.

Lol what?

The UK leads [edit: in Europe overall, obviously not the EU] with approximately 18 per 100k prosecuted for online speech. Germany is at about 4 per 100k. Poland at about 0.8 per 100k. Hungary about 0.1 per 100K.

For any definition of authoritarian that relates to chat control, the UK is two base-10 orders of magnitude more authoritarian than Hungary (7 base-2 orders of magnitude).

No person acting in good faith can argue that having similarities to 4.3BSD-Lite1 or 4.3BSD-Reno (the basis for OSF/1) make something less of a BSD.

These are not ways it "differs from BSD." These are ways it is identical to BSD.

That's objectively false. You're just trolling at this point.

It is a BSD. It has always been a BSD.

Saying "It's not like a *BSD" is a category error.

Is a wolf not a dog just because it's different from dog breeds with "Dog" in the name?

> performance and battery life

any high end Ryzen will blow an ARM64 chip out of the water

I'm very skeptical about this. I've read that many benchmarks show ~40% better performance per watt on ARM than the best x64 machines. Do you have any sources that say differently?

macOS is not BSD

No. This is a common contrarian take, but it's nonsense. macOS is built on Darwin which, along with XNU, traces its lineage through NeXTSTEP to 4.3BSD.

macOS is every bit as much of a BSD derivative as FreeBSD is.

Jails solve the isolation problem beautifully, but they don't have a native answer to shipping. That gap is real, and it's one of the main reasons the ecosystem around jails feels underdeveloped compared to Docker's world.

The link literally uses the term ecosystem. Several times actually.
