Neither do LLMs, which are "billions of dice" -word-guessers, still to this day.

Applied, I had looked at Amplify before, but haven't gotten any movement. Interested in the space!

Didn't even need to click the YouTube link, I knew it would be Krazaam.

Counterpoint: is the web browser not already fulfilling the "universal app engine" need? It can already run on most end user devices where people do most other things. IoT/Edge devices don't count here, but this day most of their data is just being sent back to a server which is accessible via some web interface.

Ignoring the fragmentation of course; although that seems to be getting less and less each year (so long as you ignore Safari).

I'm curious how often you find factual inaccuracies in the LLM responses when doing that.

I've found that more often than not, it gets at least one key feature/option/etc. outright wrong whenever I've tried that, making it effectively useless for me. Since I need to verify the exact information myself anyways, I'm 90% the easy to just having the different items in comparing up in side-by-side browser tabs, anyways.

That was something we discussed at my workplace.

Prior hosting provider was a little-known company with decent enough track record, but because they employed humans, stuff would break. When it did break, C-suite would panic about how much revenue is lost, etc.

The number of outages was "reasonable" to anyone who understood the technical side, but non-technical would complain for weeks after an outage about how we're always down, "well BigServiceX doesn't break ever, why do we?", and again lost revenue.

Now on Azure/Cloudflare, we go down when everyone else does, but C-Suite goes "oh it's not just us, and it's out of our control? Okay let us know when it fixes itself."

A great lesson in optics and perception, for our junior team members.

The first 92% and the last 92%, exactly.

Unfortunately, Top Gun 2 was not "for entertainment's sake" it was another round of US military advertising/propaganda, just like the first one.

I'm also getting the error on Android, latest Chrome.

This format is unreadable on mobile, it keeps opening up my keyboard and scrolling up a bit when it does.

I understand and appreciate the "why" of the format, but this also could have been a non-editable "editor-like" presentation and achieved the same result.

The problem with any tool like this is that people are often _terrible_ at knowing how to clearly explain what it is they want/what their actual issue is.

Key example: "login is broken!" Could be the captcha didn't load, captcha was blocked by their ad blocker, they are rate limited, they used the wrong email, they used the wrong password, they don't have an account, they aren't on the right website, etc.

For now

That's not turnstile, that's a Managed Challenge.

Turnstile is the in-page captcha option, which you're right, does affect page load. But they force a defer on the loading of that JS as best they can.

Also, turnstile is a Proof of Work check, and is meant to slow down & verify would-be attack vectors. Turnstile should only be used on things like Login, email change, "place order", etc.

Or the much more sensible, and MSFT way of handling it (in outlook)

ExternalUser: Hello here is a calendar invite I would like you to attend, please confirm or deny

User: Thank you, now I can verify the request and choose to add this to my calendar or not

It can do that with previously-known phone trees.

As a Scribe owner, let me say that using the web on there is far from pleasant. Yes it has the most RAM of a Kindle ever, but 1GB is not much unfortunately.

Also the biggest bottleneck is honestly the web browser itself. It _technically_ works, but it's super stripped down and JS-heavy sites especially struggle.

No no, the decrease in sales couldn't possibly be related to the above-inflation increase in prices at fast food places. It must be those pesky consumers and their want to "spend frugally"!

Anecdote: I recently received a new M3 MacBook Pro at work, and the box was 100% recyclable, as well as everything inside of it - instruction manuals (why?) were held together with paper, the power cord had paper around it, and the keyboard/screen separator was also tissue paper.

I'm not denying that there's "plasticized paper" in the box, but as far as I could tell, it was 100% recyclable. As for "breaking down the box", if you flip the lid around to the bottom of the box, and then stack them together, then it saves a good bit of space. But yes the moulded cardboard that held the laptop itself was a pain to get out of the bottom section.

So this is just an ad?

Biggest advantage I've seen from using it, is the ability to quickly get into old code. Sure, well I'm writing it. I have a mental understanding of all the different types, but I don't two years down the line.

Also, when multiple people are working on the same code, it's nice that they all are forced to spell things the same way...

> highly opinionated solutions as something definite even though it has a narrow focus on what the author cares about

Most users either don't have such strong opinions about their scroll bars, or would prefer it looks coherent with the application, or OS-native (your preference). But I can almost guarantee the larger group of non-technical users will have never thought about the styling of their scrollbars for more than a few seconds.

Also in terms of accessibility, so long as they're doing CSS-only changes, and the bar is sized compliant and has proper focus states, assistive technology won't care.

I largely agree with you, however Superhot is the closest thing I've experienced to the "can't do it outside VR" games. I did previously play the browser version of the same game, and it was fantastic still, but there's something different about moving around in space like that.

HL:Alyx got close to the "only in VR" sort of mechanics, but change 2-3 big set pieces, and it could very much be done on a 2D screen.

The most important number sequence is of course in there.

Simply search for 8,6,7,5 and you should find it.

The security implications of "find me another device on this network who has gone to a specific page" are immense. Not to mention accessing account-related information due to improper no-cache headers on the website.

Paywalled

Because they likely use the same API for their website/app/Alexa/etc. platforms, since so long as the same calls need to be made, it makes sense to reuse the work you've already done.

So long as they have reasonable rate limits & security in place, it makes sense to allow anyone to use it to order pizzas from whatever platform they want, because it's still money in their pockets -- not to mention free press from articles like "how to order pizza from vim"

For sale of argument, let's say you were paid half what you currently are, same company/manager/etc.; would you still put in as much effort?

One unfortunate reality is that programmers or other programmer-adjacent jobs tend to be paid quite well, and as such the "work equal to pay" mindset is a bit strange compared to normal office jobs. I've personally known someone at my job, which paid me let's say $X, and paid them $⅓X for us both working on the same project. Surprise surprise, that person put in minimum effort necessary to get the job done, and has since left the company for another that is paying them closer to $½X.

You never "own" a domain. You just rent it from a registrar, who had permission from ICANN to let you rent it. There is no "good" that you can take with you when you give a registrar money for a domain.
