Sports should be free to watch, the product itself is covered in ads already

yo I'm not an anxious person but this has set it off. If it truly is anyone who had logged into the same device, I wonder if a system reset keeps you clean from any bad accounts going forward. For example if I system reset and sold a tablet on craigs list

but wouldn't it work in this case? sure if a package was compromised for months/years it wouldn't save you

but tell dependabot to delay a week, you'd sleep easy from this nonesense

Just to share something positive, I've had a ttrss instance running forever on digitalocean in NY. I like them for side projects too.

Unfortunate isn't the right word, but it's unfortunate they are going to spend all this money and have nothing to show for it. Maybe wasteful is the right word.

New comment by neko_ranger in "Ask HN: Have top AI research institutions just given up on the idea of safety?"

neko_ranger — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 19:00:23 +0000

Alignment of AI is hard, and aligned to whom? I just finished the safety chapter in Stripe Press's "An Oral History of AI", and there's a good quote in it: "It's an interesting question, how to tell the difference between a hallucination and deception." (I'll let you figure out who said it, you know their name).

New comment by neko_ranger in "Discord Voluntarily Pushes Mandatory Age Verification Despite Recent Data Breach"

neko_ranger — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 16:31:54 +0000

Discord's not going away, but I looked at setting up a self hosted matrix server last night and had it up with an element client in 20 minutes with docker compose. I don't think I'll do a discord<->matrix bridge (since it requires extra stuff on the discord side and I think you lose encryption, which isn't that important), but if you have buddies who you want to keep in contact with, it's not a bad solution

I explored but am avoiding big, public channels because there honestly isn't that much chatting going on in the ones that I found

neko_ranger — Sat, 24 Jan 2026 18:08:11 +0000

I wonder how fun being a modern quant really is. It seems like one of those things that sounds more fun in your head, but the reality is different. Kinda like "studying physics", going pro in a sport, or becoming a rockstar. People see the end result and don't see how much work it takes to get there or what the day to day is really like

Thank you, I'll try to grab a table when it resets :) ! I've been getting into poker (always wanted to) since I found a lecture series from John Hopkins, and severely disappointed by my options to play online in NY (real or fake money). I just want to get reps in
