Ahhhhhh! Thank you for mentioning Precordial catch syndrome. I read about it some time ago, and experienced it several times, and then forgot what it was called. Even with the help of LLMs I was unable to re-discover the name of it.

Lots of people paste LLM output into human discussion forums.

This also lets them clamp down more on youtube-downloader tools. When they rely on the TV's own browser engine, the client fingerprints can vary a lot between devices and firmware updates. This makes "pretend to be a random smart

The tobacco, alcohol, and gambling industries want a lot of things, but it doesn't make those things bad by default.

I'm more interested by the fact that it apparently didn't work this way before Tahoe.

More like, don't commit compiled executables to git.

Yes, it is a hard problem, but that doesn't mean that we should accept non-solutions.

But it is, the discrete IC is pictured in the article.

> we sign a perceptual hash (pHash) of the image rather than an exact pixel checksum Perceptual hashes are non-cryptographic. There are certainly collision attacks, but what about preimages? A preimage would completely break this scheme.

Hi, I'm the author of the above. I also got a Sony A7 IV camera a few days ago. I already have a root shell on it. Although that wasn't even required to break Sony's C2PA implementation... I'll write more about this in t

Simpler than that, you can just talk to the cryptography IC yourself and ask it to sign stuff. No need for an FPGA, just an arduino. Given the datasheet I imagine any LLM from the last year should be able to oneshot it.

I could tell from the HN submission title + domain name.

I think this is the first time an "I made an agent swarm do something" blog post was actually written by a human, what a breath of fresh air.

> small claims court (I’m not joking they don’t even care about that) If they don't show up, doesn't that mean you win by default? (And then you can indeed send a bailiff to seize a plane...)

Everyone's trying to slop together the next forum for sandbox-escaping agent swarms to use. Discussion of the previous prompt that made it to the front page: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49592840

It seems that some people do not appreciate the amount of labour that can be required to turn knowledge of a vulnerability into an actionable bug report. (Before someone says "ask an LLM to do it", LG has that option available to

> So no responsible disclosure, I see. Huh?

Yup. I'm sitting on one that doesn't even require an internet connection, only RF down the TV antenna input. I'm waiting for my model to go EOL before I release it.

The specific vulnerabilities exploited by rootmy.tv have been patched, yes, but there are plenty more unpatched vulnerabilities remaining. There are also more up-to-date rooting tools beyond rootmy.tv. The security posture of webOS is absol

Could you elaborate on how you set it up to extract the embedded subtitles?

I went down the same line of thought in the past! But I guess I was less thorough with my search, I never found any certs that small.

Even after disabling the crap wallpapers and setting my own, by default windows heavily compresses wallpapers to the point where the artefacts are very noticeable on a 4K display, requiring a registry edit to fix.

My second thought exactly!
