- and the zip bombs you mentioned! i keep a dummy SD card with one hehe.
but yeah the first class of vulns is why we have advice like don’t run untrusted input, which is not dissimilar to “don’t unzip untrusted payloads”.
- the net worth of the current president is several billion dollars.
that is the same person who ran a crypto pump-and-dump scheme in their first month back in office.
billionaires may have competing interests and also act irrationally.
- this is just one instance of a vulnerability associated with unzipping; a curious search would yield more.
- Yeah, like I said, we blame boomers who voted for and supported Reagan.
I’m very aware that a healthy minority opposed him and his policies.
Thank you for your work on ARPANET and remaining a proud socialist! Computer networking is what drew me in to the technology space (not programming like most folks here, I presume), and socialism just might finally be having its due time here in the US (e.g., Mamdani, Katie Wilson).
- You should probably read the article.
- I've bought memory (16 GB DDR4), storage (2 TB NVMe), and various peripherals from BestBuy within the last five years.
- All good, it can be a ...chore to keep track of what decisions and reversals the current administration is making.
To support your original claim - when I was in the military, we were explicitly forbidden to look at anything Snowden leaked as it was still classified and would be a violation of our clearances as we did not have either the appropriate level (e.g., TS-SCI) or need to know. Kind of understandable, but still.
- This is news to me! Could you share an example of some censored media in the US that's available elsewhere?
- Decent writeup from CS with that evasion method described -

- well that would imply that these LLMs could be wrong and they should talk to a doctor instead - lunacy!
- people should actually be more careful about taking medical advice from an LLM than grabbing a vitamin D supplement.
- It's strange to me that you chose to not cite the guidelines to elsewhere such as:
> Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle.
Are anti-immigrant sentiments acceptable if they are simply well-articulated?
And if not, then why do you feel it necessary to be more critical of the language I or lalaithion use for explicit dismissals of racists and xenophobes than the actual racism or xenophobia itself?
- > I think you may just be upset because he's wealthier than you.
Aw, Mark; that's not it, pal. His last paragraph about tailored clothing captures the thought well without throwing around dollar amounts or brand names. But thanks for trying to defend your capitalist masters like a good little right-winger!
- Sure, you could just omit that entire sentence, no? Retains readability but avoids unnecessary specifics.
- > at my income level the price difference between that and Zara is pretty much immaterial
this is probably just regular bragging, right?
now, discussing how donating $100 versus $10k to a cause or community being negligible to their economic security would at least front-load some humility, but capitalists gon' capitalist. oops!
thank god this is Hacker News though, and not some safe-haven for boring rich people!

- bit of a motte and bailey, there.
you’re responding to a comment which states detainees are being sent to concentration camps, places like the deplorably named Alligator Alcatraz. i don’t think we should conflate that as deportation.
But forced RTO and only 10 days off per year is enough to keep me away ;)
