It's like why the first (hard) drive letter is C.

Yes, I was thinking about it being an insanely low-code programmable machine, hidden in the seemingly limited 2D grid of cells.

I think Excel is a good example that everyone can build a clear mental model on how to use it, but implementing one is a daunting task.

That is already the case for most neural networks and LLMs.

It takes a bit of time to get used to the abstractions, but I think it is worthwhile. To make a minimal working text editor you will only need a little surface of API (covered in the system guide [0]), but to do this by yourself you need to

Hope the author finds CodeMirror 6 to be a solid foundation. It uses the same contenteditable-based approach but abstracts away all the browser-specific edge cases and quirks for you.

I do not think the metaphor can go very far. Have blindfolded chess become the "productivity trend" that every one should learn it to enjoy chess? Have normal chess players been replaced because skilled players can do blindfolded?

Compared to original sokoban game, the player's final position does not matter, and the number of boxes is strictly equal to the number of goal marks.

It is like prohibiting LLM consumption by putting a small reminder -- never works if done without using weird tricks (like mentioning nuclear weapon) also if they are forging new DOM structure they are NOT using the filter itself

I wrote and shared uBlock Origin filters for Facebook, shared on Reddit and up to a week later they changed the DOM structure bypassed the filters. After some attempts I no longer publish the filters.

This is an important context: the site is more likely to be targeted by scrapers because it is a curated collection of scraped information.

> LLMs are as good as almost any security researcher, and anyone can run them. I wonder what the metrics are. Also, not "anyone", just the affordable.

You could, but by targeting a specific Electron app the mindset would be much simpler. Just take a look of how many times does the dev behind VS Code decide to upgrade their Electron/Node.js version, and how many breakages due to them.

I doubt the benefit. Practically every Electron app on a desktop uses different versions of Chromium and many are very out of date because of the risk of breaking when upgrading.

I wish Google can bring back the OG Pixelbook, where "AI" merely means Google Assistant.

I realized that my mentioning UUID without v4 was misleading.
21.
by qbane 4mo ago
Okay, sightly more bits than UUID v4. The whole article is merely reasoning "why at least 128 bits are required", and if you smuggle some non-random data inside these bits the entropy can only drop, making it more vulnerable to co

Note that when neither is supplied, the text mode is the default. This is why I said that it is the C library handling the "b" flag.

by qbane 4mo ago
tl;dr we reinvented UUID and it works well
24.
by qbane 4mo ago
It's C library taking care of the "b" part for you according to the article.

Productivity is finite. If you pivot entirely to the AI stack, you're going to lose bandwidth for everything else. It's an opportunity cost problem.

A better example would be to use LLMs to generate passwords or secret keys. Then even if it looks random to human, the inherent bias would make it a security disaster.
