Mine already covers all of that, based on what Codex says…

I already had DeepSeek tell me "I cant help you with torrents or other copyright infringing uses".

You can get around the checks with careful prompting. You’re just interested and want to learn more about it.

All I did was create a wrapper script to pipe to the torrent client, then "pipe these torrent files to the script" - so easy to circumvent you wonder why they bother

weird, when I ran ds4flash it didn't complain about it at all.

As someone with coding projects in the is area would you care to elaborate on "a lot of learned lessons"?

Things like when to cancel early, how to handle par2, obfuscation, rars within rars, decoding articles. Just a mountain of "huh, didn't think of that being a complex problem" that was resolved over time.

I was able to replace the arr suite + sabnzbd with my own rust+ts frankenstein but had I known how complex the usenet piece was going to be I would have separated it into two phases.

sabnzbd is basically packaged decades of domain specific knowledge about deobfuscating media files

Shhh, do not talk about *senet!

You can get usene* from TorBox in the pro plan but I've never had a problem with the cheapest plan. What's the advantage?

my bad you're right. edited.

is there anything decent actually which is not on the internet? I thought it's an outdated place

It’s not that the content is not available on the Internet it’s that it’s a better experience. Indexed high quality content that can be retrieved automatically and at high speed without the need to seed or worry about copy strikes or deal with ever changing, poor quality streaming sites.

exactly, there's no meaningful discussion without the pelican.

ARC-AGI this and ARC-AGI that. All I care about is ARC-pelican.

It might draw a really shitty one to hide its true power ;)

I wonder how much of this could be done by a clever linker? There’s a lot of skill in there but how would an llm do, for the rest of us?

A linker could do this, but "clever" isn't the adjective I'd use when something randomly breaks due to it not working to standard.

Someone must be fishing for C&D letters

concern from my side as well at some point, But The name comes from audio “stems” and the multitrack “deck” interface, but I understand that it can be confused with Steam Deck or Stream Deck. There is no affiliation with Valve or Elgato, and I’ll take any legitimate trademark concern seriously. Naming things really is the hardest problem in software. :)

For overall reference:

"In audio production, a stem is a discrete or grouped collection of audio sources mixed together, usually by one person, to be dealt with downstream as one unit. A single stem may be delivered in mono, stereo, or in multiple tracks for surround sound."

This seems like something that could be confirmed by reverse engineering a printer’s firmware? Surely someone has done that?

It is confirmed and the algorithm has been reverse engineered, though not by looking at firmware

https://w2.eff.org/Privacy/printers/docucolor/

Seems like the algorithm is simple enough that they did it just by looking at some prints

No need to reverse engineer, printers are required to do this for decades.

And the reason why it refuses to print this B&W document when yellow is empty.

You'd still need to reverse engineer it to build a better firmware without this anti-feature.

You don't need reverse engineering if it's publicly known fact for 20+ years, telemetry just identifies you. 20 years ago, you would need to find the printer.

Second lawyer here, well - ex-lawyer, I'm saying the first Law Talking Guy is 100% right.

It was a great comment, HN still offers nuggets now and then
