Speaking of autonomously acquiring resources in the real world, how is proofofcorn.com going? Looking now, it seems like it stalled out several times, and the corn likely never made it to market. Not a great data point for this type of proj

These statistics don't necessarily imply that the programs don't improve the situation, only that mental health outcomes are worsening faster than programs are improving them. The existence of support programs could also encourage

On the extreme side, things like blackmail and fraud are generally illegal, even if they can make you money. Most of these dark patterns that "work" tend to follow a similar pattern: by taking advantage of the target, one can extr

In a typical office environment, the correct response to “I don’t have access to this Google Doc” is to ask for access from the person who sent you the link. In another context, it could be fair to think “Hmm, this is some sort of capture t

That's a really good question. This may also end up depending on the level of trust within the team. One thing I didn't call out is that an "optional gate" can still just be checked by sending a DM, like "Hey, do yo

There is only zero incentive if the filter detects AI music reliably. It's still a race between effective detection and cost to generate content, isn't it?

What a strange take. LLMs produce plausibly correct output, which is exactly where plain JavaScript and DOM manipulation will result in a spaghetti mess. Frameworks like React that add structure to the data flow, component encapsulation, an

I disagree. Especially with AI, it’s far too easy to generate and insert an image with no time, energy, or eye for detail. Authors do it because it supposedly leads to better engagement, shows up bigger on social media, and breaks up the te

Thanks! I have been learning about FedCM recently, but I need to read more. My understanding is that it requires the relying party to allowlist which IdPs it trusts, is that correct? That always seemed like it would make it gravitate toward

That’s real, yeah. I also remember a couple concerns around that privacy as well. One being that if your IdP controls your email, they could probably figure out what sites your communicating with anyways. And perhaps a timing issue with whe

That’s how this project started, with trying to take the Persona repo and bringing it up to date. There were two challenges… first, don’t underestimate how hard it is to take a decade old Node repo and run it today. There are no types, many

I’ve tried it in the past. This was a few years ago, so it’s possible it’s changed since then. But the reason I’m not choosing it for myself today is that it relies on either Sign in with Google (fine) or magic links to verify the user. I r

The biggest one I’ve come across is the ability to manage and revoke sessions from a centralized location. With BrowserID, you can’t just sign out of your IdP and expect all relying parties’ sessions to invalidate. Instead, BrowserID assert

And yet the data shows that they did decline. I'm sure they could be much better, and the response will vary from state to state.

The data ownership is really interesting, as many threads here are going into. I wonder if it's possible to sidestep that entirely, though! Under the CCPA, "personal information" is defined as information that identifies, rel

Is there a technical limitation why these never seem to be grouped into a thread? I generally appreciate the updates on my package, but I also value a tidy inbox.

These are all risks. Not all risks need to be mitigated, but some can be. Others can be accepted. Saying “Python is too slow for production scale, but our goal is a small proof of concept,” is a valid answer even if it doesn’t “solve” the c

I mean, that LLM idea _sounds_ ridiculous, but similar ideas have worked really well in machine learning for games like Chess and AI.

It was some attempt at reductio ad absurdum. If you are concerned about letting Alexa into your home, you must be as irrational as Chris Hemsworth. Edit: I'm misusing reductio ad absurdum, but somebody will please tell me what the fall

It’s also possible that I start my next task without remembering to create a new diff first. That might explain the conflict when the original commit becomes immutable?

I build a few diffs off of my local main, create and push a bookmark, and then create a PR back to main from that bookmark.

Maybe it’s based on whether the GitHub merge is a squash, rebase, or plain merge? Or do folks usually manually perform the merge with jj?
