Project mention: I pwned half of America's fast food chains, simultaneously | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-09Everybody has that goal until they get a knock on their door at 6am: https://github.com/disclose/research-threats
Project mention: Unity U-turns on controversial runtime fee and begs forgiveness | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-26> The amount of mental gymnastics on display here (not to mention bloodthirstiness) to not acknowledge that the new terms are genuinely a huge improvement and likely palatable to the majority of game actual developers in crazy.
A huge improvement relative to the current pricing policy in effect (the status quo), no. A huge improvement relative to the previous incoming pricing policy, yes. But that's only the half of it. The other half is that Unity cannot be trusted to abide by its own terms of service. I don't need mental gymnastics to decide that Unity will never be palatable again.
Unity's terms as of October 2022 included the line:
> If material modifications are made to these Terms, Unity will endeavor to notify you of the modification. [1]
But in April 2023, Unity silently rewrote the terms, and one of the changes was removing that self-obligation. [2] Ctrl-F for "notif" and you won't find a match.
> I have a few friends who work on relatively medium-scale game development operations and every one of them is basically saying “oh thank god, we can work with this”.
It's good that Unity decided not to screw your friends after all. But "oh thank god, we can work with this" suggests an aftertaste of dread. I don't make games, but if I did I would not want to rely on the company which gave me such dread.

Project mention: Show HN: Mapping almost every law, regulation and case in Australia | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-22Hey HN,
After months of hard work, I am excited to share the first ever semantic map of Australian law.
My map represents the first attempt to map Australian laws, cases and regulations across the Commonwealth, States and Territories semantically, that is, by their underlying meaning.
Each point on the map is a unique document in the [Open Australian Legal Corpus](https://huggingface.co/datasets/umarbutler/open-australian-l...), the largest open database of Australian law (which, full disclosure, I [created](https://umarbutler.com/how-i-built-the-largest-open-database...)). The closer any two points are on the map, the more similar they are in underlying meaning.
As I cover in my article, there’s a lot you can learn by mapping Australian law. Some of the most interesting insights to come out of this initiative are that:
⦁ Migration, family and substantive criminal law are the most isolated branches of case law on the map;
⦁ Migration, family and substantive criminal law are the most distant branches of case law from legislation on the map;
⦁ Development law is the closest branch of case law to legislation on the map;
⦁ Case law is more of a continuum than a rigidly defined structure and the borders between branches of case law can often be quite porous; and
⦁ The map does not reveal any noticeable distinctions between Australian state and federal law, whether it be in style, principles of interpretation or general jurisprudence.
If you’re interested in learning more about what the map has to teach us about Australian law or if you’d like to find out how you can create semantic maps of your own, check out the full article on my blog, which provides a detailed analysis of my map and also covers the finer details of how I built it, with code examples offered along the way.
