I guarantee the RTMP process on a Playstation 5 is not running as root.

Well, the server just responds with acknowledgement information, the client is doing most of the work and most of the complex parts of RTMP are hand waved and faked by both the client and the server because no one cares about how Flash used to work.

So somewhat unlikely to be able to exploit it but have at it hass.

I'd imagine it'd be easier to exploit the server side, actually.

Imagine if they just let you specify your own RTMP destination. Crazy thought, I know.

I've been on DDG on all my devices for a few years. I used to use !g somewhat regularly but these days it's extremely rare. I realized that I would just search DDG with my first stab at a query and then revise the query when using !g and I'd get the result I wanted. So I just stopped using !g and just revised my query on DDG and then I basically never had to use Google Search.

This, please refrain from using standard HTTP headers in non-standard ways. Why not use something like X-Accept-Programming-Language so that the semantics of Accept-Language can remain for human language, since the docs site is going to return text in a human language as part of the response anyway.

I think we just have different ideas of what the word "reasonable" means.

Probably because it's their only account, and this story is why they are here.

What's ridiculous is the constant complaints about flagging and downvoting. It's bad form. If you think something was flagged when it shouldn't have been, vouch for it.

Seems like people who complain are unaware that anyone with a modicum of karma can flag and down vote.

Can anyone shed light on why there's a button for copying specifically for LLMs ("Copy for LLM") and why there's also an "Open in Claude" option on these articles?

Regarding the former, there's no normal Copy button so presumably this just copies the content of the article. Not sure why it needs to be clarified that its for LLMs.

Buried by the distraction of the semantics of "opt in" vs "opt out", the more interesting conflict isn't addressed in the sibling threads.

> and at the same time seemed to have lost the ability to centrally disable training on prompts for your entire organization

> Vibe (Teams): Administrators can disable data training usage for the entire organization.

Is the document out of date? Or did Mistral reinstate this ability after the fact? What's the story here? Others seem to be stating they have and have had the ability to opt out of training centrally for a long time.

EDIT: Oh, it is addressed just a bit hard to find with all the opt in/out explanations: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49549102

Indeed, I'm basing my statement on observation, I don't think they've ever disclosed exactly how the math works.

Don't forget the post score is a balance of up votes and down votes. This mean 2 down votes and 0 up votes registers the same (-1) as 10 down votes and 8 up votes (-1).

So there's no sense treating it like the community has forsaken you.

Did you just quote an LLM as a citation? That's not how citations work.

And has a dead simple one today.

Also worth noting simple horizontal centering of divs was never a problem, margin: auto was defined in CSS Level 1 in 1996 [1].

It was vertical centering that took a very long time to crack, which really became trivial with Flexbox which was first drafted in 2009[2] but became available unprefixed in browsers between 2012 and 2014 [3] about 13 years ago.

Subnote: I'm not counting the display: table hacks.

This is where we've come to where people proudly proclaim using an AI to do what is a single line of CSS.

But you have 3 mistakes you can make, and you spend one when you accidentally place a sunflower. I played through all the daily puzzles and have started into the master puzzles and I'm glad flower is double click, because a misplaced X is free, but a misplaced flower is not.

It would be far too easy to accidentally tap the screen and burn a Mistake, and if its your last one that would be frustrating.

An attempt was made, but just run `help get-item` in powershell and tell me whether it sparks you with joy.
