I wonder if the email just goes to /dev/null

DMCA / Cease and Desist email triggers a workflow which takes down the website, sleeps for 1 day, creates a new shell company buys a new domain uploads the same content and posts it on hacker news

cheap?

For niche/hobby-tier hardware? Yeah, I'd say so

Wouldn't you be able to just not tell that you already have a treatment plan?

I wonder what the liabilities are for that

Not much unless you can show that they knew about it. Otherwise, they are just as much a victim.

They are liable. In Germany the seller of a product is responsible not the producer.

I'd assume a company like that would have insurance for this. They'd be able to reimburse the customer knowing they'd get paid back from an insurance claim. That is, if they are actually insured for these kinds of losses.

A few years ago, the Canon camera battery supply chain was intermingled with knock offs. The seller I bought from was exchanging for legit batteries or reimbursement when a customer made a claim.

Then they have to be insured. Or the limit of their liability must be capped at the cost of the product or something. Otherwise they would have to reverse engineer every product they carry and just about every retailer would run the risk of being out of business any time someone pulls something like this. That’s obviously not happening.

It's germany, everything is insured.

look up german angst

From what I've read the seller's responsibility is just to fix or replace the product. Damages caused by the defect are the manufacturer's responsibility.

I think the bigger issue with water usage ( if it's actually an issue ) is when the system is not able to handle the additional demand ( drying up wells, etc. ) Especially during the summer where water supply is already strained in some areas.

Yes water goes eventually back into circulation but that does not help in the place where the system is already at it's limit

I haven't used plan mode for a long time. I do still plan, I usually ask claude to make a plan with me first an explain how it will work, then I iterate with it until I am satisfied and then just let it go. So far it has not started implementing on it's own before I told it to.

I am not so sure about that. When it felt like Meta was abandoning the space we saw some resurgence of smaller projects that tried to innovate, but if you have a big player sucking out all the oxygen you can't build smaller scale projects

Unfortunately a couple of small start ups isn't enough to carry the industry. Even big players like Valve who have more money in the bank to take a hit couldn't bring their headset in below $1000

They couldn't make that price on a high end standalone, without taking a hit, in 2026. And they choose not to take a hit so ability doesn't matter.

If they launched a year ago it probably would have been $600-700.

If they take a hint and make a version that can't do games standalone they might even drop the price in half.

Valve never sells at a loss. A significant slice of that is probably the RAM and storage, even at scale.

From what I can see they were trying to generate 16bit integers, so the probability is 1 in 65536 and they were running the test for 11 hours.

You definitely would expect a roughly equal number of 0s as any other of those numbers since it's uniformly distributed. And definitely not 0

> You definitely would expect a roughly equal number of 0s as any other of those numbers since it's uniformly distributed.

How would random numbers be uniformly distributed?

Because each number is equally as likely as every other number. If you know you're more likely to get certain numbers, or in this case have no chance of getting certain other numbers, it is by definition _less random_.

No, that has nothing to do with randomness. It is however a different distribution than expected.

Think about the odds of a uranium atom decaying in a given second. Certainly a random event, yet for most seconds, the value is False, not True.

You are both right, the atom decaying is completely random but the distribution of the decays is still predictable.

If you have a random number generator your are relying on the fact that it is uniformly distributed and thus has no bias towards certain numbers. Or if it is not uniformly distributed you would want to know the exact distribution so you can correct for it.

If you have an RNG that is treated as putting out uniformly distributed numbers but it is does in fact favor some numbers over others, that would be a defect that can cause problems/be exploited.

Ah. My reasoning, with the normal distribution, was that zero was at the left most end of the curve and with a pretty much non-existent chance of appearing.

As the number of samples approaches infinity, the percentage share of all possible results approaches equality. A uniform random distribution is like the mathematical identity of statistics.

So you think a weighted die is more random than a fair die? A uniform distribution means each outcome has equal probability; it doesn’t mean the outcome is predictable.

With enough repetitions.

With a few (say 10, so 655360 runs), you will not get a uniform distribution, and some numbers (like 0) might not appear.

Not sure how well it works but that is supposed to do the same thing
