It would be nice if there was a whitelist option for non-sensitive content. There's no such thing as non-sensitive content from a CDN though. Scripts are obviously sensitive, styles can be used to exfiltrate data through background

People often don't, but AI always does. As we rely on AI more and more, having strong docs will become even more important.

The issue isn't the plane. It's being allowed to fly over places where people live.

Given the nature of just how nasty bromine is, I imagine air freight would not be legal over any populated flight corridor. That'll make it impossible to fly into Korea.

You assume what they say is the same as what they are thinking The converse is also true. People saying something assume that people listening are understanding and thinking about the same thing. This is why it's important to write t

They ordered 40% of the global RAM production for 2025/26. It was a non-binding agreement that either side could easily withdraw from but they're essentially trying to buy about half of all the RAM.

It's been a while so I might be a little off, but the problem was that the effect would lag behind slightly (one frame?) because I used an observer to match where the element moved to because the overlay element was logged to the viewp

A while ago (8 years in fact) I wanted to make something like this. I made a slightly half-assed React library that used twgl to overlay a shader on an element on a page (or a canvas for some effects). One thing I had was measuring where an

I could do, but the end goal is to scale this to 100x what I can do myself, and there isn't time to review all those changes. By attempting to answer the problem when it's tiny and I can still keep it in my head then I'll end

Not really related to this 'discussion' but this is an interesting problem in the AI space. It's essentially a well understood problem in unreliable distributed systems - if you have a series of steps that might not respond w

The companies that are entirely AI-dependent may need to raise prices dramatically as AI prices go up Or they'll price the true cost in from the start, and make massive profits until the VC subsidies end... I know which one I'd

This isn't new. I've seen it for decades, including in situations where no one is at risk. I don't think it's often a fear thing.

I use Codex at home and Opus at work. They're both brilliant.

Well, maybe . It's projection, because I certainly don't make simple processes myself a lot of the time, but I do try to optimize them afterwards. I have a few decades of seeing people implement processes than I've had to us

I'm an Engineering Manager, and I think I have a similar role just applied to people processes rather than code. One nuance though - a lot of the time I suspect it's deliberate complexity designed to obfuscate how little people

I built my own photo viewer for OSX entirely because Finder doesn't have an 'actual size' option. OSX is pretty terrible for image management.

It started out using browser.click events and then switched to using browser.evaluate script injection. That's entirely valid for my use case.

It didn't exactly play it using the LLM, but it used Playwright to execute code in the browser to work out how it works and then wrote a script to inject into the page to play it. It was basically perfect AI getting skip * 2 on every s

Surely it's reasonable to assume that a company doing some dubious 'marketing intelligence' scraping of people's data from a Chrome plugin is going to both inflate the numbers they put in offers and try to scam their way

That sort of project exists in an ocean of abandoned and dead projects though. For every app that's finished and getting one update every few years there are thousands of projects that are utterly broken and undeployable, or abandone

Technically you're correct that change frequency doesn't necessarily mean dead, but the number of projects that are receiving very few updates because they're 'done' is a fraction of a fraction of a percent compared

It’s too slow for the scale of pretraining. There isn't really such a thing as 'too slow' as an objective fact though. It depends on how much patience and money for electricity you have. In AI image gen circles I see people

It works the same way here in the UK. Some companies ask your previous salary, and sometimes check your references, and sometimes your previous employer will disclose what your salary was. If it turns out you lied nothing bad happens, b

But for some reason, Firefox refuses to play back those kinds of files. And that reason is because x264 is a free and open source implementation of the H.264 codec, and you still need to pay a license to use the patented technology rega

Software that doesn't work has been available for decades. It's not a good signal for vibe-coding.

What I meant was that it'd a good answer but maybe not perfect. For example, if you ask for a coffee recommendation you might get something that's in your top 5, but not number 1. That's better than getting a page of links wh
