I feel this is about as accurate and relevant as if I were to write an article on senior copywriters.

> recall a few times everyone promised, if this gets promoted then we will rewrite it from zero. Never happened.

Old quote: "There is nothing so permanents as a temporary hack."

I didn't see a key section of a COE: "What are we doing to make sure this can't happen again?"

Apologies if I missed it. There's some discussion of things under what could have gone better, but prevention is key, and the reports not done without it.

Fauxreilly!

I doubt the fonts on my iPhone identify me. As far as I know, they would be the fonts it came with. Or can apps install fonts?

Not by town, please. There are about 100 in the Bay Area. That's just useless.

Lat long of the town center would work. I don't need precise, but not seeing something 100 meters from me because it's in the next municipal unit is aggravating.

>Have you ever daydreamed about talking to someone from the past?

It's going to be more like corresponding with someone from the past. We don't have much in the way of recorded speech from that area, so this will be built from written records. Much more than now, the written records are going to be formal and edited, reflecting a different pattern than casual speech or writing.

Having said that, this is cool. I recently had to OCR a two-hundred year old book with the usual garish fonts from that era. It was remarkably easy to do, and accurate.

That's really cool.

No mention of modifying existing images, which is more important than anything they mentioned.

I think we all know the feeling of getting an image that is ok, but needs a few modifications, and being absolutely unable to get the changes made.

It either keeps coming up with the same image, or gives you a completely new take on the image with fresh problems.

Anyone know if modification of existing images is any better?

Anything better that OpenAI?

How can you sue someone without knowing who they are?

How can you sue someone without serving them?

You'll get thousand of attacks a day (and it's been years since I have done this, so probably worse). They try the list of 1000 or so most common passwords across the whole internet. It works often enough to be cost effective.

The story needs a progress indicator. I didn't know if I was almost done, or had another hour to go. So I quit.

Also, there should be an option to just get the story as text.

Sounds like the tax on recordable CDs.

Ridiculous, and it didn't take money from the right people or give it to the right people. I would expect the same from an AI tax.

And there aren't enough security researchers in the world to review ALL the files from OpenBSD.

And if there were, the cost would be more like $20M than 20K.

Having all code reviewed for security, by some level of LLM, should be standard at this point.

And after I typed this comment, I retuned to the site, and it was zoom in to the point where I could see one line of text and i could find no way to zoom back out, and all navigation was off screen.

iPhone.

The text is too small to read on a phone, and pinch to zoom is disabled. That's pn the first lesson

Don't assume that because you don't connect something to the internet that is doesn't connect to the internet.

Things can use cellular modems to phone home. This is already done.

Walmart could also easily cut deals with cable providers for outbound access via WiFi and cover most of the country.

"N is usually small" might need to be revisited.

Boy is that a terrible website. I tried to find a story and give up.

His initial point is about critics. Critics are incentivized to review many books. So, more than ordinary readers, you would expect them to read summaries, or only parts of books.

How does this compare to https://www.wunderground.com ?

Is that the source of the data?

Terrible website. I gave up after a while, as everything was taking ten times as long to convey information as simple text would.

Too bad, as the topic is interesting, but not enough to make up for aggressively bad presentation.

Everyone benefits from the idea that killing off the copyright holder is not profitable. If copyrights expired on creator death, there would be unwholesome motivations.

There are tons of proven, tested libraries for this.

The dumb, successful approach would be to use one of them.

You didn't build a search engine in 160 lines of code. You build a client for a search engine in 160 lines of code. The vector database is providing the search.

Developing in a container might mitigate a lot of issues. Harder to compromise your development machine.

I guess if you ship it you are still passing along contagion

The wiki appears to have been deleted. Maybe you can recover it?

Does this really work? I would think the ping time would not be dominated by speed of light, but by number of hops, and connection quality.

As a hypothetical example, an IP in a New York City data center is likely to have a shorted ping to a London data center, than a rural New York IP address.

while I definitely agree the autocorrect has gotten worse, what I find more of a problem is all the various other pop-ups that occur. For example, they recently added the ability to 'undo' an autocorrect, but this pop up grabs focus, and you can't click on text near this pop up, because the pop up will claim the click.

I've also had trouble getting rid of pop up menus (copy, etc). If I want to click on text, but it has decided to pop up a menu, it can be a real pain to get rid of it. (I had no problem on previous versions of IOS).

There's a fundamental law of features: Every feature you add may may make it better for people who use it, but it makes it worse for everyone else.

If you keep adding features, anything will eventually become unusable.

Hah! I have exactly the opposite problem, I hit the space bar, instead of N, and the iPhone doesn't understand this a possible typo, so all the suggestions and auto-corrects are wrong.
