Watermarking seems feasible for creative tasks (that admit many valid results). But if I craft a prompt that doesn't leave space for creativity, how can they include a watermark? e.g. "Rewrite the following text, replacing 'f

Thanks for providing the query and a link to execute it (I didn't know about that one). Now I can play with it and find the most popular words... "to", "the", "of". I don't know what I expected.

Note that it's also possible to review changes afterwards. Many (human) teams have been working like this. I agree that many vibe-coders are likely to skip reviews completely, but it doesn't have to be like this.

Note that there are no mp3 files at all. It's a player for module files (e.g. .mod, .xm, etc.) If you'd like to download module files, https://modarchive.org is a good reference.

I've worked 12 years at Google. When I was tech lead, I periodically checked Memegen and searched for my project name. I found it useful to get this feedback. Sometimes I converted the meme into a proper bug report; sometimes I respond

Is there a way to set the default unit? I'd prefer to see the information per 100g by default (instead using random units).

For security reasons, the VSCode marketplace is not accessible, but many (in the 3-digit range) external extensions have been imported. One technical limitation is that some extensions are not designed for the web (e.g. try to run local thi

It's VSCode, so it's 90% similar to https://vscode.dev There are internal extensions, but they don't dramatically change the look and feel. I think many VSCode users are not familiar with the Comments UI, but it&#

I'm not sure about the dates. At some point (2014?), the use of IntelliJ was discouraged in favor of Eclipse. One year later or so, the decision was reversed and the effort focused on IntelliJ (and Eclipse were considered deprecated).

I can't check when Cider got started. I was probably wrong (it wasn't much used in my circles at that time), I'll update the post.

Although the tool is internal, a lot of information about it is not confidential. As the team had to collaborate with the VSCode team, we got clearance for sharing information about it. The screenshots in the article were posted publicly on

I like the approach in Lingua Latina per se Illustrata (sometimes called the "natural method"). I've noticed that it was adapted for other languages too, but most of the adaptations seemed old and outdated. Recently I was won

There's no specific filter. The main effect is blending the previous frame with the current frame. When blending, I modify the coordinates and add some noise. This makes the graphics look less basic and it creates this noisy trail when

Interesting topic. I appreciate the effort that went into this, there are some good animations. But I find this kind of presentation much harder to read than a classic blog post. It's difficult to skim through the text to see how far i

Very nice project! Thanks for making it open-source and very easy to use. I hope you'll find contributors and be able to get a nice collection of animations! I'm starting a new project, I may have to use this tool in the next few

Building old code and getting the same result is not always trivial to do. Potential issues: - If you have content in a database, can you able to restore the database at any point in time? - If you code has dependencies, were all the depend
