I strongly suspected that there was some pre/postprocessing going on when trying to get it to output rot13("uryyb, jbyeq"), but it's probably just due to massively biased token probabilities. Still, it creates some hilarious output, even when you clearly point out the error:

  Hmm, but wait — the original you gave was jbyeq not jbeyq:
  j→w, b→o, y→l, e→r, q→d = world
  So the final answer is still hello, world. You're right that I was misreading the input. The result stands.

Hah, based on the title I assumed it was exactly the opposite - that it was the automatic approval that had been suspended

I see this point a lot but it never really made sense to me. What exactly does IPv6 bring to the table that makes it unnecessary to remember IP addresses? Especially for anything more advanced than just looking up a hostname.

IPv6 addresses can be plenty memorable. Mine starts with 2a10:3781:xxxx, and the rest of the address is whatever I want it to be. About as recognizable as my IPv4 address.

If I wanted to memorize the addresses for some reason (maybe I broke DNS or something?), I'd just start numbering devices at 1 and keep going up.


> maybe I broke DNS or something

I break my DNS very often, or at least, often enough that it'd become nuisance that I can't instantly recall IP address of every machine in any of my 5 VLANs, AND type it in manually within 3 seconds.

With IPv6, I'd have to drop whatever I'm doing and fix my DNS first.


If you use SLAAC and don't use mDNS, I suppose, maybe? But if you break DNS often enough that you need to remember IP addresses, you can just do DHCPv6 if you want IPv4-like address allocation.

It'll be even easier because you can use numbers greater than 254 for your local devices, or l33t-style hex addresses, without setting up routed subnets when you exceed your /24 like on IPv4.


N100 works just fine with fully passive cooling

I'm not sure there are many causes that have "50% of people incandescently furious about it", except maybe heavily diluted positions like "corruption = bad". Even just based on voter turnouts. If you see this kind of activity, it's most likely representative of the terminally online class and not actual people.

Well, your heavily diluted position is actually a great example. One of the running threads of the current administration has been that they do not think corruption is bad and routinely engage in open bribery. Tim Cook gave the president a gold bar on national TV!

But people who criticize this are almost invariably enraged about it. And so I’ve encountered otherwise informed people with this kind of attitude towards “rage politics” who either don’t know about the issue or assume it must be exaggerated because people are so mad about it.


...except for HN "unvote"/"undown" feedback which is especially unfortunate due to the shared prefix. Every time I upvote something I squint at the unvote/undown to make sure I didn't misclick.

I'm still shocked that the links are so dang close together on mobile. You don't even need the proverbial fat fingers.

Interestingly, the section doesn't actually have to start with a number. TCL man pages use the 'n' section and 'man' resolves them just fine despite the ambiguity. Conversely, manpage names can also start with numbers, although this is rare (I found only one such example: man 30-systemd-environment-d-generator)


I'm using Hyprland right now for its wayland support, but IMO so far the best mental model for window management I've seen is that of herbstluftwm with static layouts (you can still use dynamic tiling and tabs with it of course)


Of course...
