IPv4 stopped working fine some 30 years ago. The invention of NAT was caused by IPv4 not working fine (RFC 1631 was written under assumption it's a temporary solution). Hole punching is a thing solely because IPv4 stopped working fine. Much like Y2K, the reason IPv4 appears to work fine is because absolutely massive engineering effort was put to work around the parts that don't work fine.

Per the article, "Astra was not willing to comply with the request. I also attempted this using the Daybreak Blue toggle with the same result, blocked."

Insanely deep lore is a dime a dozen these days. Every other fantasy book series has one. Every other video game has one. Not to mention fanfics, especially shared universe fanfics. Being deep lore should be a reason to delete, not to add a page.

There is absolutely no reason whatsoever for Mr. Tik-tok from Oz to have his own Wikipedia page. He's less notable than, say, Knight Artorias, and I don't think anyone in their right mind would argue Knight Artorias deserves one.

Then again, neither does the Great Grey Wolf Sif, yet here we are.

Probably getting larger and larger with all the agentic workflows popping up as of late.

Can confirm, got caught by it once. We were discussing if prompt engineering is still relevant, and I copied both the prompt I used and the output I've got. I realized I was shadowbanned because I'm not logged in on every device I use for browsing HN.

That "with a brain" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

There's also the matter of "the Old Trusty" being a dying species. Seemingly every brand I heard of being reliable - Bosch, Milwaukee, Toyota, Sony, Victorinox, Michelin, Dyson, possibly more - has gone to shit in the recent decade.

Poland has an official, somewhat manual version of this - the ISAP system.

Actual bills are written in the form of patches ("§1. In the law X paragraph 5, the words "such and such" are replaced with "this and that". §2. The law X paragraph 4 is striked. §3. After law X paragraph 8, a new paragraph 8a is added that says "etc. and so on".)

After a patch or a collection of patches are passed, they are combined together and a unified version of the law is published. These documents aren't technically the law, they just show a snapshot of what the law is at the specific moment.

ISAP system is an online collection of all bills that were passed, plus crosslinks between laws that change/supercede/otherwise interact with each other, plus current and archival unified versions, plus related administrative orders and other miscellanious documents. Makes looking up laws and changes to laws very easy.

This but unironically.

I think you grossly overestimate how long it takes to copy-paste an email, especially in the age of AI - as well as underestimate the entertainment value of making bureaucracy squirm. And if the FOIA request makes sense in the first place, I believe the inclination would be self-evident (exposing corruption, holding government employees accountable, undermining big corps' exclusive access to information, preserving local history, etc.)

I see. Awful. I hope you'll get everything you want eventually.
