There is an open source web browser proxy thing called finicky [0]. I use at work that lets me redirect urls clicked in other apps like slack to specific browers (firefox / chrome) or even specific chrome profiles. It'll also allow you to rewrite the urls.

It's likely against the ToS rather than illegal. But if they're deleting IDs correctly after verifying I guess you just have to get past 30 days

We have this also. https://coppellchronicle.substack.com/

40%+ conversion rate on substack.

It's load shedding, but it's weighted towards people abusing their quota usually over some rolling weighted average. The benefit is that they are dropped immediately at the edge rather than holding sockets open or using compute/resources. It usually takes 30s-1m to kick in.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. Leaning towards yes now!

You can just order brand new ones from China for even cheaper I imagine. https://www.npr.org/2019/03/14/703472647/saying-i-do-to-lab-...

Is it a kid friendly event for a 8 year old who doesn't know any YouTubers? Like we he have fun seeing all the maker stuff?

The problem here is the infrastructure required to demo the changes to the user. Like yeah you made a code-change, but now I have to pull it, maybe setup data to get it in the right state, check if it's functioning how I want it to. Looking at the code it produced in a diff can waste a lot of your time if it doesn't even work as expected.

I've found the same. I actually enjoy Instagram ads. I despise almost every other ad I can think of.

Using cline for a bit made me realize cursor was doomed. Everything is just a gpt/anthropic wrapper of fancy prompts.

I can do most of what I want with cline, and I've gone back from large changes to just small changes and been moving much quicker. Large refactors/changes start to deviate from what you actually want to accomplish unless you have written a dissertation, and even then they fail.

I think a reasonable thing folks want is to not have their art or design used to train these models without permission.

This raises an interesting question around the rights of the author/publisher and who they sold their ebook rights to. If in 3 years we have a perfect AI voice that can read any book as good or better than mid-level narrators, why would you ever buy an audiobook when you could just buy the ebook and pick your voice(s). What a time to be alive

That reminds me of https://www.npr.org/2023/02/15/1156804295/shopify-delete-mee...

Lets not kid ourselves. This wasn't a random reviewer giving you a hard time, your extension is definitely being "reviewed" way up the chain in order to find any menial reason to not allow you.

I started a small service recently in rails. I'm forcing sorbet with typechecking (you can still set things to false like tests which sometimes are a pain to get to pass). It feels almost like a typed language with LSP jump to etc. It's getting there.

Autodesk has been building practical 3d models for years with generative design. I have to imagine it's only getting better with these recent advances, but I'm not immersed in the space.

I applied to a certain scraping fintech in the Bay Area around 5 years ago and was asked to open the Wikipedia page to k-means squared clustering and implement the algorithm with tests from scratch. I was applying for an android position. I still laugh thinking about how they paid to fly me out and ask such a stupid interview question.

I think a lot of people watched this Vox video about sudafed 2 months ago and became armchair experts tbh: https://youtu.be/ZlFF7A8nk0w

I looked at is as if it were a good aspirational target for 5 years from now. It was obvious the whole video was edited together not real time.

Do you run a daily cron or something? I've been trying to figure out how to backup my photos from google.

Mine are all high up in second floor so it does make a difference.

I use blueiris which barely works because I'm overloading it with 9 reolinks at 4k. I'd like to figure out my bottleneck but it works enough barely that it's not worth mucking with it.

Yet.

The wider context window and better tooling are all being worked on.

What proxy do you use?

I've been thinking about getting one of these kits for a long time. I was going to buy a kit but they're not on Shopify and I'm in a hurry. I'll buy one tomorrow.

People use password dumps to try and steal streaming logins. To watch for free, or resell.

Famously? I've never heard of that. Is that even true?
