You should never expect to have rights to anyone's server API endpoints, esp outside of their TOS, which is basically what trying to build your own front-end independent of youtube.com is. However, with most browsers, you have all the

People can have writing tics, i know i do — that said, this article does read very much like a scrape-n-translate + some "summarized insights" of Chinese forum threads. While that's fully within the scope of a human blogger,

to be fair, the linked youtube video from the article is literally 4 weeks old, so "at least a month in the past" is probably exactly accurate if you are moving at the same pace as the author.

IME AI coding is excellent for one-off scripts, personal automation tooling (I iterate on a tool to scrape receipts and submit expenses for my specific needs) and generally stuff that can be run in environments where the creator and the end

fair, and I edited my choice of words, but if you're reading that much aggression from my initial comment (which contains topical discussion) to say what you did, you must find the internet a far more savage place than it really is :&#

When LLM's come up with answers to questions that aren't directly exampled in the training data, that's not proof at all that it reasoned its way there — it can very much still be pattern matching without insight from the act

I'm pretty sure in a free market, how much someone is willing to pay for something is what determines how much a company charges for something, not how much it cost to provide. We wouldn't have inflation of most goods/servi

I used to live in Berkeley, CA circa 2013. They had a tool library, which was part of the local public library system, and tools were free (!) to rent. I miss it everyday, as it was a godsend for broke new grads who still wanted to do some

in my experience, people who grow up as the biggest fish in a small pond (whether concerning just fields they care about, or in general) are always 99% of the time, one of these two when they end up a middling fish in the big pond: like you

imo it's the platform's choice to have default-visible or default-sandboxed program outputs and data. while possible, it is fairly non-trivial for iOS apps to have read/write access to a shared folder where they can drop arbi
