<p>this is an article from July, I haven't heard any updates of what came out of this apart from the incident report that OpenAI released.<p>I presume the poster submitted this article in light of the recent AI safety discussions taking place, but as for this particular incident I haven't found an actual confirmation that $100M worth of inference was given out to the HuggingFace community.<p>This statement was also months prior to the acquisition by Nvidia, which again I was interested in seeing if they would still pursue this</p>

<p>and the actual tweet from the HuggingFace CEO back in July<p>> In the spirit of transparency, here’s what I asked @OpenAI:<p>> • Radical transparency: let’s release the traces from the “rogue” agents so the entire research community can study what happened.<p>> • More capabilities for defenders: let’s commit $100M in compute from OAI to help the Hugging Face community build powerful cyber defenses with the best open and closed models.<p>> The first autonomous agent cyberattack is an unprecedented event. It deserves an unprecedented response!<p><a href="https://x.com/ClementDelangue/status/2081056675558195657" rel="nofollow">https://x.com/ClementDelangue/status/2081056675558195657</a></p>

<p>I agree as long as you are very upfront about it being a learning/stream of conciousness blogpost, then it should be fine to watch how someone's learning journey progresses.<p>The author does outline the steps they take to make it clear<p>> Third, I try to make it clear on my blog who I am and what my credentials actually are. Even if it’s not explicitly described in the post, I have my real name and resume available on my /about page, so I don’t think a careful reader could be easily fooled into thinking I’m an expert on 19th-century England or space physics or LLM economics or anything like that.<p>If however that part is hidden and it is some confidently incorrect or pseudo guru type of post that is polluting the web with misinformation, then that is a different story.<p>Maintaining a high signal-to-noise ratio is important to some people, and they may completely disregard the musings of people outside their field of expertise.</p>

<p>OMP has this, it's called "/shake" where bloat from tool calls and such is turned into an artifact ref instead of remaining in the context.<p>There are other pruning or compaction strategies you can configure too.<p>You can also use "/btw" to have side tangent conversations with the current context but with the benefit that it will not bloat your current context after the tangent is done.<p>I wish other harnesses were prioritising this sort of flexibility with context management, but they're likely more incentivised on optimising their cache rates<p><a href="https://github.com/can1357/oh-my-pi" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/can1357/oh-my-pi</a></p>

<p>Wasn't it stated as being in "preview" prior to this?<p>If implementing non-trivial tasks on a preview model surely there is some anticipation of it not being the final stable release?<p>Unless you mean they should have appended a "preview" suffix on the endpoint for extra good measure?</p>

<p>the main reason they mentioned [1] for radicle.network is because their old domain radicle.xyz was blocked in some places by some lists that they think was because it may have hosted certain UGC that triggered some flags.<p>> Content about Radicle (explainers, guides, download links, blog posts) which is under control of the Radicle team. We will use radicle.dev for these purposes.<p>> Content on Radicle (repositories hosted on practically any node on the network) which the Radicle team has only very little control over, accessible via Radicle Explorer. Going forward, our deployment of Radicle Explorer will not be hosted on app.radicle.xyz anymore, but instead it will be hosted at radicle.network.<p>> The idea is of course that if there are complaints about or issues with radicle.network in the future, we hope that radicle.dev stays largely unaffected and people can continue to inform themselves about Radicle and learn how to set it up.<p>On a semi-related note, this is a good time to remind anyone that hasn't yet heard of the Public Suffix List (PSL) [2][3] to make sure you put your domains that may be hosting UGC in the form <usercontent>.<yourdomain>.<tld> (ie: eTLDs) on that list so browsers and other block lists are aware that the user provisioned subdomains are UGC and not from your site so it properly isolates cookies/site grouping and won't flag your entire domain as malicious.<p>1: <a href="https://radicle.dev/2026/04/23/domain-move" rel="nofollow">https://radicle.dev/2026/04/23/domain-move</a><p>2: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Suffix_List" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Suffix_List</a><p>3: <a href="https://github.com/publicsuffix/list" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/publicsuffix/list</a></p>

<p>The blog's visual design is quite pleasant to read.<p>However I am a bit confused by the author's remarks<p>> I do NOT EVER consent to ANYTHING being done in regard to AI in my name.<p>> With newer sites like Bio Link and FediProfile I don't see the usefulness of Gravatar. If anything, I think it now has ANTI-features.<p>It's conflicting to mention Bio Link with the author's ideology since it quite prominently has:<p>- AI assistant to answer visitor questions based off of your "links, descriptions, posts, and a short knowledge base"<p>- AI site builder</p>

<p>thank you so much for the clarification!<p>Yes, you're correct. The vouch button doesn't appear when viewing the thread context containing the `[dead]` comment. It only appears when clicking the specific comment directly via its permalink (or comment ID). I may have misremembered being able to vouch with the context to the comment being visible.<p>Thanks as always dang ^_^</p>

<p>I have vouched a couple (~3-5) benign comments a while back and now I no longer have a vouch button for comments.<p>I don't know if the vouch threshold has increased or if the mods have removed my ability to vouch for other comments entirely.<p>Wondering if it was my good faith attempt to inform a user of their comments being auto-flagged [1] before I had any context that they were supposed to be persona non grata.<p>I can still vouch submissions though<p>1: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46381180">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46381180</a></p>

<p>Project Glasswing is already a thing, and the other labs have started their own initiatives too if they want to collaborate and work on securing closed-source software.<p>Still not addressed the moral clarity point being brought up, nor the ramifications of the Linux Foundation choosing which closed source projects to focus on and alienating their mission statement.<p>Again, your idea is noble but why should the Linux Foundation be saddled with it when those other options exist? OSS needs their focus as their mission outlines.</p>

<p>if you go to the full changelog on the blog and click on the "retired" button, the url will have type=deprecations as the parameter.<p>It's a holdover from previous posts where there were more clearly defined deprecations.<p>but yes, in this case it's more of a behavioural change of defaults, so they just picked the closest vaguely mapped retired/deprecations tag.<p>1: <a href="https://github.blog/changelog/?type=deprecations" rel="nofollow">https://github.blog/changelog/?type=deprecations</a></p>

<p>been cranking on this too but not just for snark but for spam/scam heuristics too.<p>it's something I feel is finally viable to combat at zero cost to the user.<p>This plus webmcp would allow it to serve as a form of automod too on websites that you authenticate with (imagine a world where your social media profile has an automod of its own powered locally. can use this to steer your feed or to mute/block/moderate as needbe). Even without WebMCP I have been working on making it autodetect html elements and extract UGC (comments/threads..etc) automatically to moderate (since my initial tests with a small group found some websites with frequent UI changes would break if hardcoded or if they did a lot of AB testing)<p>Even better, the concept would allow you to also use it to hide certain spoilers (imagine sports or new movies that just came out and you want to not have to hide away from all socials).<p>didn't find any contacts on your new HN account, but in a few weeks will be able to reach out to you with it fleshed out. :)<p>We have a community of nearly 14k that we will distribute this to</p>

<p>On a similar vein is the "argument from fallacy" aka fallacist's fallacy. [1]<p>Essentially if you dismiss someone's argument as false just because it may have had a fallacy within it, that reasoning is itself a fallacy.<p>Some fallacy-seeking people ironically ignore this and just dismiss anything when they have the "gotcha, you made a fallacy therefore everything you said can be concluded as false" moment.<p>1: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_fallacy" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_fallacy</a></p>

<p>While it's commendable, the reality is they should have already "figured out" how to play the system and just farmed the reward points from credit cards and immediately pay them off without incurring any interest.<p>You get a good credit score and still live within your means while also getting additional points + bank covering any fraudulent activity if the card got stolen.<p>Of course this method probably won't work for people that feel they would rather just cut themselves off from temptation fully or those without access to banking systems, which I sympathise with.</p>
