Yes. Very much so. PIA was purchased by a British-Israeli corporation called Kape Inc. which has been a known bad-actor in the past and is a giant red flag when looking for VPN options. (edited away the brevity)

Also curious. Any mods or @dang: is there a reason why this was flagged?

I guess none except some prejudice on the username.

I’ve experimented with different usernames and if you have an obviously Chinese or Indian username, you WILL get downvoted or censored or chastised by dang.

Hypocrisy.

Isn't the jury still out on that statement? Pretty sure we've been experiencing the long-tail cultural decomposition caused by the effects the industrial revolution brought with it with the exception of a 20 year opportunity to change our trajectory as a species. I think getting out of this conundrum alive will require de-segmenting our cultural narrative around how we got here.

edit: typos/grammar abound.

No

Do any of the sites he browses use cloudflare for DDoS protection? Does it use recaptcha to verify that he's human? Do the sites he browses have servers that are housed in a beligerent nation state? Did he use dns servers in a beligerent nation state? I feel like if the answer is yes to any of these might make most of this article moot.

This movie is absurdly good. And it seemed to leave a lasting mark for a while too. I love how the drug dealer in W&I got to play the same character and tell the same m&m's story in Wayne's World 2. "... and I beat the man with his own shoes..." chefs kiss

Yeah, it has been a reckoning. I’ve never seen liberal boomers and gen x-ers get so organized. I’ve only known the opposite in my lifetime. It’s been great to see and I’m here for it. Keep this up and you’ll turn the hosts of The View into leaders of an armed militia.

I had trouble writing this sentence due to all the laughing. Bravo.

I will assist in your endeavour. Art must be preserved!

Wow, it got to the top of the front page so fast! Weird!

I took a quick look at the data and FWIW the votes look legit to me, if that's what you were wondering.

It actually was what I was wondering. Thank you @Dang!

I'm fairly certain it was sarcasm.

It did get 29 points in 3 minutes, which seems like a lot even for a fan favorite, but is also consistent with previous OpenAI announcements here.

I posted a verge article first but then checked and saw the openai blog and posted that. I'd guess it's the officialness / domain that makes ppl click on this so easily.

to be fair, I was waiting for this release the whole day

o3-mini was announced for today, and OpenAI typically publishes in the morning hours (PT). Many people were eagerly waiting. The publication was imminent. I kept checking both Twitter and Hacker News for updates. Just add ten more people like me and the news will become top news within a few minutes. That is legit.
