I hope ronan farrow doesn't mind his article being shared like this

It’s also available via public libraries in USA via Libby if your local library system pays for a subscription, so it’s a way to support the magazine indirectly, since your local taxes pays for your library. The downside for weekly is you have to read it that week, no archive access.

Which edition? I looked at April 6th and can’t see the article.

The New Yorker posts digital articles in advance of the release of the print edition.

At the bottom of this article it says: Published in the print edition of the April 13, 2026, issue, with the headline “Moment of Truth.”

As someone who reads the print magazine every week, I always scroll down to check if the article will be published and skip it if so (so I can read it when my magazine arrives).


Thanks. Can confirm the print edition is assigned a date that is 5 days after it becomes available in the Press Reader app in the UK (not sure why) and the article is in that edition.

The information is more important than the wants of the writer, always.

I’m not going to pay for another newspaper subscription just to read one article

First day on HN?

Truth > revenue

Sharing what an LLM has to say about a thing is like sharing what you dreamt of last night — no one really cares.

unless you dreamt how to debug that problem no-one else can solve

It works better if you said it came to you under the influence of heavy drugs

Why even have GPT summarize it? Just RTFA.

I like to consume content in a breadth-first way. Title -> Summary -> Maybe read it.

Interesting. If you look at the sources it cited, there are a few links about "Sacred Songs and Solos" (likely from related/side content on the page), my guess is it didn't read the main article and instead anchored on those and hallucinated

I wouldn't be surprised if the owner of that site has AI scraping protections enabled.

There are several other posts made recently on the archive.is blog as well, some of which appear to be quite nonsensical or are otherwise irrelevant to the discourse at hand. They all appear to be LLM-generated. It's all very confusing.


How is this different, legally speaking, from forcing someone to reveal their password? or at least to type it in?


The constitution has been interpreted to allow the police to force your finger onto an inkpad for fingerprints. That decision was extended to allow the police to force your finger onto a biometric reader.

The 5th Amendment has been (so far) interpreted to only limit things that require conscious thought, such as remembering a password and speaking it or typing it.


What you know (a password) is protected whereas what you have (a finger or an eyeball) is not.


I don't know about that exactly, but my understanding was that this is similar in justification to compelling a person to be fingerprinted or give a DNA sample. To me there does seem to be a fairly major difference between forcing someone to disclose information held in their mind and forcing them to provide a biometric. The former seems equivalent to compelling testimony against oneself. I have a hard time seeing the latter as compelling testimony against oneself, especially if giving fingerprints or DNA isn't.


Part of it is that compelling information can be problematic, in that other circumstances can happen where the information may not easily be obtainable.

Extreme example, imagine a stroke or head injury causing memory loss.

OTOH DNA/Face/Fingerprints, usually can't be 'forgotten'.


IANAL but I think legally speaking that would be forcing speech. Biometrics are not speech.


It shouldn't be different. But law enforcement wants access and everyone who could reign them in seems to also want them to have access. Honestly it's surprising at this point they haven't argued that people can be compelled to give up their password using whatever means necessary.




It’s conventional around here to share these sites. But they are basically unauthorized copies of the articles, right?

IMO it is totally fair and fine to just respond to the part of the discussion that the publication decided to make publicly available.


> IMO it is totally fair and fine to just respond to the part of the discussion that the publication decided to make publicly available.

This wastes the time of people who read the article.


The publicly accessible article is the article, it isn’t the reader’s fault that the publisher decided to only make a little bit of it accessible to us.


> The publicly accessible article is the article

No.

> it isn’t the reader’s fault that the publisher decided to only make a little bit of it accessible to us.

It is a commenter's fault if they comment on an article they did not read.
