You mention someone else's Python version. Did you note that the prototype in the video was... Python?

All the smells you pointed out, just look like a Python dev approaching bash without fully understanding it.

> I wonder if the script itself was written by an LLM before obfuscation?

From the prototype shown here [0], and the way they talk about their process, I sincerely doubt it. Especially as they mention trying to make it hard for AI to handle the output.

Whilst the US has a carveout saying it has to be commercial, Australia, Quebec, and others, do not.

You do, in fact, have rights over your 'likeness'. In most jurisdictions. [0]

In the US, that would fall under Prosser's Four Torts, "appropriation of name and likeness".

The law, currently, doesn't care if you think its a new image. Likeness is protected. Similarity is enough.

Most enterprises require a 12 digit code, to meet a specific security standard. Bruteforcing that, with hardware access restricted by TPM, would take a very, very long time.

RFK's reliance on terrain theory, disproved continually since some five hundred years ago, does much to assist in citations - it is common to cite bad science as evidence where we need to improve public comprehension.

Our current research shows that people don't click. But they do scroll. So... Yes.

Infinite scrolling makes it harder to break the feedback loop, and harder to control self-interruption. It also increases the overall dopamine experienced.

Pagination, allows the user to regularly break from the cycle, and most people take advantage to do so. It allows people to notice fatigue. Which is exactly why most social media sites no longer use it.

As the 'inventor' of the infinite scroll said:

Unfortunately, that only takes care of one of the vulnerabilities that comes with basic auth.

As basic auth sends the header for every single request, it is also vulnerable to CSRF attacks.

HTTP basic auth is not secure.

That is exactly what X was designed to do. And part of why X is considered insecure today.

Decayed without breaking down, is my point. There was a failure. Which means failure is a possibility and not something to just dismiss.

If they always got the decay correct, we wouldn't have confirmed debris impact on the ground. It would be destroyed long before it reached.

HN specifically does not. You have to click "more", leading to most people not moving beyond two or three pages, rather than infinite scrolling.

Wouldn't it be better to curtail social media's addictive design choices, and improve things for everyone, rather than force the audience to carry the weight of responsibility?

Shakespeare was written for the masses. Hence being full of dick jokes.

Similar story for Chaucer, and so many others. I don't think good writing, things we appreciate so much it lasts generations, has much to do with signalling education or class.

"As platforms and operating systems proliferated in the early 1980s, the company found it difficult to port the assembly language-based dBase to target systems. This led to a rewrite of the platform in the C programming language, using automated code conversion tools. The resulting code worked, but was essentially undocumented and inhuman in syntax due to the automated conversion, a problem that would prove to be serious in the future."

Rewriting it with an LLM, is surprisingly apt.
