Your solution for protecting mentally ill people is to expect them to be rational and correctly interpret/follow advice? Just to be safe, we better start attaching these warnings to every social media client. Can't be too careful

The oral tradition is important because of the stories it passes on. The stories themselves are the thing. How do you square this with this feature you've added where LLMs can generate slop that has no resonance for anyone? It would se

If you think my comment is about my not being sufficiently informed by the piece, I really don't know what to tell you.

All the more important for the work to have clarity and economy, not just point of view.

Every part of my critique applies regardless; I'm not sure what you think you're contradicting here. At any rate, the writer is struggling with temptations and weaknesses, of the sort better handled by an editor than a priest.

The author's point could be made far more succinctly and clearly than this. I found the writing indulgent, overcomplicated and unfocused. Overwrought prose (so many lists of three or more things! Why?) that takes fully half of its word

There's absolutely no problem with not knowing what you're doing! Just, you know, own it. Part of what I find exhausting about projects like this is I can't see any evidence of the person who ostensibly created it. No human t

The website copy is obviously generated, and has not been reviewed for correctness. The website trumpets "25+ curated prompt injection patterns from leading security research". The README of the linked Github promises: "100+

Modern frontend frameworks wouldn't exist without JS events, not the other way around. You can absolutely do this with vanilla HTML+JS. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Event

Eh, not quite steel. "A generation of" is kind of slippery language, as is "has never been higher". How many people? How much more available is porn vs 10 years ago? You seem to imply many/most born during a certa

Culture hasn't been monolithic for decades now; it's only fragmenting more. Broad consensus that any opinion is "insane" is becoming less likely, not the other way around.

You are incorrectly implying that I made the comment after the author joined the thread. This is not true. Hastiness and inelegance tends to happen when you want to trip over yourself to make a point on this site, which we're now both

I'm not sure we agree on what constitutes "pretty damn rude". It was an inelegant, hastily expressed opinion.

The context is a bit different from a proof of work captcha that sits in front of otherwise-unaffiliated sites.

Can people just not like something? Not everything is a sociopolitical debate. > It's funny how vehemently people respond to anime the first time, it's often so strong that they would not be consistent with their judgements or

I legit didn't read any rudeness, it was a graceful retort. > People have sent me horrible things because of this. That sucks, and I see how it makes my (somewhat) measured reaction scan differently. > Just please take one femtoi

Not sure what you're referring to, or what you mean by "it's just art style". It's a style that is likely to clash with the website branding it precedes, in my opinion .

I appreciate the response, and your point is valid. FWIW there's no sarcasm in what I said up top; I'm not here to yuck anyone's yum. I have been reading your stuff for a while, and if anything disproves my original point, it

Can't fault the logic. Will never use it if that's part of what they've chosen to paywall.

"sufficiently tasteful/professional/anodyne" != "wrong"

With the calm, respectful understanding that everything is subjective and there's no accounting for taste - and in my personal capacity - I do not understand how cutesy anime characters have been deemed sufficiently tasteful/profe

Knew you'd get comments asking why nix is important to the setup. I like it for things like this as well. Shell scripting by default has terrible isolation. But the way Nix puts shell scripts together, you can be confident that a scrip

Don't update immediately? Update immediately, but selectively? Nix offers many options here.

I guess I don't see a practical way of exploiting that association. UDID, that's unique identifying info for sure. But a public key that's never reused?

What do passkeys require you to store besides a public key? Isn't the whole idea that passkeys don't burden providers with sensitive credentials?

It seems like you're treating your personal knowledge and preferences as the basis for Valve to take on an entirely new source of revenue and risk. It's a fantasy. Even if 100% of Valve's user base cared as much as you (they
