But OpenAI never clicked that "I agree" checkbox, whereas you entered into an agreement with them.

Yeah but if it's opt-in for privacy concerned users there may well be two users in the world with identical basic metadata (browser version, platform, etc) who have this enabled. And telling you it was one of two users but not which is

They narrowed me down to an order of magnitude less based on just my browser user agent (latest Firefox Android). I'm not sure what that actually means.

Randomization works if you opt in everyone without their consent. If your addon or minority browser randomizes data you're adding a signal.

Unfortunately under US law that's a significant difference. Companies can take away a dizzying variety of your rights if they simply say so. It's how they won most of the anti-scraping cases.

Jesus fucking christ. I gave it these specs and it spat out a perfectly fine CS101-style python program that worked. Then I told it I wanted a GUI, so it started writing a perfectly fine CS101-style tkinter program. I couldn't get pip

sh is the secret to transliterating bash to python. It's basically bash with proper loops and variables and string operations. import sh names = sh.ls("./src") for name in names: sh.mv([".&#x2F

I stopped using them years ago for other reasons. We're talking about how to do research into their fuckery here, I'm not suggesting it's sane to fork a browser to make a company's crapware work.

That's why this is used by a particular subset of websites only. They pirate tv shows and movies, and then pack the screen with ads. They don't care at all about user inconvenience or loyalty. The answer to "your website brea

Almost everyone resizes windows by manually dragging the corner. This will generate a series of resize events rather than a single jump. This is a real technique, but it tends to be used by shady piracy sites that want to stop piracy of the

Unfortunately console.log(foo) calls foo.toString() if and only if the console is open, and there is no way to disable this in Chrome or Firefox. Edit: You can redefine console.log to be a noop, but that's also detectable.

Infinity here means "so big you don't have to think about reaching out". For example, the Rust standard library assumes no system could possibly support more usize::MAX/2 threads, but it worries about you cloning an atom

Interestingly this sort of thing falls into a special category where reasoning from first principles is less rigorous than pattern matching to experience. That's because we don't have a good theoretical model. We're at the po

The ideal solution to this is the pattern of turning decisions that have to be thought about before you click the button into decisions that can be easily undone. In this case detect the pathological case and spawn a separate thread that co

If the CDC bought data showing the messaging performed worse than average in my zip code I'd consider that a clever use of public funds. If they bought data showing whether I followed the rules I'd be furious. This article comes v

I think you were confused by someone who described that "counting machinery" at too high a level of abstraction. Compile-time counting is implemented in the compiler, runtime counting requires you to opt-in by wrapping the type in

That's insane. This JS has to be loaded before they can start any of the actual requests. It should be on the most performant host possible.

But the majority of the valuable traffic will be coming from popular places. Wouldn't a CDN node in Tibet be a microoptimization after you've got datacenters in Virginia, SF, and Amsterdam?

Each of them have long, complex procedures they have to follow in many cases, and some exceptions. A court might well be able to issue a preliminary injunction faster than an agency can do notice-and-comment rulemaking. Agencies specialize
