While putting formulas in cells is confusing a single use script somewhere on the file system is also terrible and looking at it isn't all that obvious what is going on either. If you put everything in a db you need the ancient art of

I write almost everything from scratch, around 2020 I chat with a 13 year old on irc who tried to familiarize himself with 3 api, frameworks or modules per day. A bad day was only 2. He did that since he was 9, he had perfected the art of a

If the data gets hard to navigate on a phone. I have a funny request laying around for a mobile version of a 5000 row 50 column table. It works on my phone but I have no idea where I am. Im thinking and testing all kinds of things but nothi

Humans never visit but I have some websites with ancient cms's. When I got bored playing with them I download the html, change the extensions to php and replace the site with a static copy. People then tirelessly try to hack it since t

They put you in several opposing camps. They identify the most insane content and show only that to everyone in the opposing camp. No one cares if you clean up after your dog makes a nr 2. The anti dog poop people want to hear you don'

Perhaps unfairly my interest suddenly dropped to zero when the acquisition was announced. The hype also seemed gone?

I've thought about this (for laughs) for many decades (pros and cons) The further up the hierarchy the harder it gets to be in many places at the same time and to talk with everyone simultaneously. You get a level of abstraction (and a

The sad part is that, with the same formula, they could generate good ideas that also make them more rich.

That's quite funny. I recall several people not even responding but just silently staring at the proponent. Other bad ideas (like privatization) were adopted by repeating opposing talking points.

You can validate by repeating the work and sign your content. The domain name system is now just a rent seeking scheme. It was great as a temp solution but over time it has deleted more content than preserved. I might in theory be billed fo

I once discover you can put escaped XML or json in css content. The purpose was to have static data sets that work cross domain. No headers to configure no letting strangers run all you can eat malicious js on your site.

They think scraping = money so you can just ask them to scrape (copy paste websites into a text area) and it will feel like payment.

You are thinking of something nice to have. At least half the idea here is that it would be nice not to have something. Usually there are many buttons and links one wouldn't click on. If authors can't resist having chunks of copy

Im beginning to think buzzword bingo is a viable job interview method. If you use the b words the LLM would be somewhat constrained to content that has them. If you don't use them it will use content that doesn't have them. The co

On the other hand, it could be great to have collapsed sections clearly marked as LLM with the name of the model, the prompt, the assumption the author somewhat checked it and didn't use it to write the article. You can put it inline o

Look how we've solved (attempted to) it in real life. Instructions usually have a source. If your boss says you should go home and rest we treat it differently from a random stranger on the street. If they shout: look behind you! It mi

Not to excuse nag screens but I think the real question is: How should discovery work? Riding the wave of success doesn't say much about quality. How could one even begin to measure quality? I might enjoy and use an application for dec

Nice catch: Building something for one purpose then [gradually] end up using it for something else. For software you probably want a feedback box baked in. If there should be something like star ratings it should probably be baked into the

Depends on the topic. For some it is possible to find sources without a horse in the race. (Different countries) Sometimes you just have to accept that you still know nothing despite 100 articles describing a topic. I think we have over a m

It could just make an interface and have the buttons trigger prompts. (This would ofc be worse than the MS version)

To perhaps state the obvious, rather than wiping everything one should present a credible setup to the intruder.

As I was hoarding rss feeds I started wondering what news is and perhaps what it could and should be. The data showed that mainstream news only happens in specific countries. The rest of the world is only newsworthy if many people die or it
