CqtGLRGcukpy — Mon, 13 Jul 2026 01:59:36 +0000

A problem I see is that what someone may consider to be AI-generated actually isn't. And the AI checkers aren't reliable enough to definitely enough say something is AI-generated.

TLDR: "Netherlands-based Oceanwide Expeditions said in a news release it was "managing a serious medical situation" on a polar expedition ship, the MV Hondius, which was off Cape Verde, an island nation in the Atlantic west of Africa."

I like what Ian Campbell (who is a Security ops engineer for DomainTools) said on Mastodon / Fediverse:

"Like every other Cloudflare service, this was likely designed to enable threat actors, amplify abusability, and reduce accountability."[1]

"I see Cloudflare's willful negligence and threat actor enablement every day."[2]

I've used whereby in the past on a free account, I've found it easy enough for anyone to use. I stopped using them because they now limit free accounts to 30 minute meetings.

FYI: Be skeptical of Be Giant. As they are backed by the Weston family[1], which owns and runs Loblaws and Shoppers Drug Mart in Canada[2].

New comment by CqtGLRGcukpy in "I'm betting on ATProto"

CqtGLRGcukpy — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 00:07:56 +0000

I've realized not to bet on any social media.

For example, pre-Elon Twitter, I thought Twitter was going to around a long time and I would continue to use it for many years. I left Twitter when Elon bought it.

While I'm on various social media sites now, I can fairly easily pick up a new one as I see fit. And if my audience doesn't want to follow me there, they don't have to. And I can find different people to follow on that new one.

You never know what is going to happen.

FYI, HN guidelines state "Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff part of the time, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity."

New comment by CqtGLRGcukpy in "Ask HN: Are AI mandates a good idea?"

CqtGLRGcukpy — Sat, 21 Mar 2026 02:38:55 +0000

No, because as Jan Schaumann said "Starting to think the real risk is not AI replacing junior staff, but senior staff quitting because they just can’t take this AI bullshit any longer and just opt for early retirement."

“But to have that reviewed by the arbitrator cost $24,000. Essentially, we must pay to show we cannot afford the costs. We had no choice but to withdraw. So even though we wanted to continue pursuing our last remaining claim, we couldn’t move forward because we could not afford the cost — this was economic exclusion from the legal process.”

"Adobe allegedly made it clear that if the judge were to make the company pay for Carter’s legal fees, it would pay them at the end of the process — meaning Carter would have to pay the costs upfront. "

CqtGLRGcukpy — Thu, 12 Mar 2026 02:09:29 +0000

I think society has evolved to the point where people want to make as much money as possible, so instead of shareware the person creating it charges money.
