What Hacker News says
4 sourcesI don't think this framing in this thread lines up with what the readme says. Also note that the python script to build the blocklist [1] reports the number of collisions found when generating the hashes.
I read their statement as "there were 0 collisions when building a blocklist for 141k domains, and 1 collision for a blocklist of 537k domains", and the script points at that number coming directly from collisions within the blocklist.
