I think tagging on HN is an idea whose time has come. We already had informal tags for "Show HN" and "Ask HN" for some time. A few fixed tags chosen at submission time might suffice, for example: - Global news, AI, Softw

That's exactly the questions that I expect to complicate cases, and force even the smallest chatbot malfunction to become an expensive legal ordeal. And why we should have strong answers to that before it becomes a widespread problem.

Just to reiterate what OpenAI did, from someone who works in security: 1. They were running experimental models in sandboxes that had access to a "proxy" (Artifactory) to download tools from the internet. This proxy is full of com

What trigger would you setup to protect against thieves ? I can't think of any that has the right sensitivity (not triggering if I start running to catch the bus), and won't escalate the violence (like my fingerprint wiping the p

That matches my understanding too. Unfortunately it sounds like the poster was suggesting to wipe the device after the government requests access, and was probably not planning on telling the officers about the trigger.

IANAL, but I would bet that's still destruction of evidence. Judges are human, for better or worse, and can see the intention behind cute tricks like this. It might work if your fingerprint was used while you were unconscious, but an

Doesn't "police informant" include whistleblowers and other useful roles? I don't see why a person who reports lack of PPE on a worksite should be grouped with a cop that asks for bribes. I'm also curious what kind

Most fire hydrants are never used either, but we don't consider them wasted. In your opinion, what chance of QC would warrant PQC migration? Would you be ok with a 20% chance of everyone being caught unprepared? 30%? 50%? Keep in mind

Having read the article, I still don't understand the point of 3D modeling emoji. Even the user interviews didn't mention it, and problems like "what the back of a smiling face looks like" sound entirely self-inflicted.

Which one do you use? I'm really curious if there's an alternative workflow that is just as good as GMail-view, or people just learn to accept the limitations.

I had seen both of these. The add-on implementation is too complicated and affects too many systems (contacts, attachments, etc) that change frequently, so it had many subtle bugs and unimplemented features: https://github.com&#x

I had tried this, but the grouping only happened among messages of each folder. And Sent is a separate folder, so it doesn't get included. Or did I miss something? Do you see your replies in the threaded view?

It's just a syllable of the whole name, which is a German surname in a certain old dialect. And its pronunciation has been mangled after 150 in a country that can't pronounce it properly, so it's a mess all around.
