the ai can just read the code? when your prompt is 'jailbreak my kindle' (example) and it takes X hours, obviously the working code that jailbreaks the kindle is worth more than the 3 word prompt.

Given sufficient motivation the little snitch dev could essentially supply chain attack every user, or even specific users.

Said motivation could be a nation state handing them $XXX million dollars

Looks like AI to me too. Em dashes (albeit nonstandard) and the ‘it’s not just x, it’s y’ ending phrases were everywhere. Harder to put into words but there’s a sense of grandiosity in the article too.

Not saying the article is bad, it seems pretty good. Just that there are indications

You can't optimize for two things at the same time in the /same system/.

In your example, the best volume for the stereo will change based on how fast you're going. Noise from air going around your car will require a slightly louder volume. It technically goes the other way too, I'm sure louder music will affect your mileage slightly, reducing your MPG due to increased power draw. Realistically it won't matter, but they do exist in the same system.

You can absolutely optimize for two things at the same time in different systems. The ideal speed optimizing for MPG in different cars aren't really linked and can be found independently.

This is an instant buy for me. I've been looking for a 'smart timer' that I can interact with programmatically and via Home Assistant for the longest time. I'd resigned myself to either building a terrible version myself or hiring someone to make a bespoke one. I'm super glad you're making this!

Reader mode saved the day again for me. But it shouldn’t be needed at all.

Utilizing fancy gTLDs can still prevent you from receiving mail. Not due to a decision to explicitly block it but because it doesn’t match whatever regular expression they use to validate. Notably, .email fails consistently due to it being >3 characters. I tried to convert to using first@last.email and there is a significant minority of sites that didn’t allow it.
