    How many phones have you tested this with?

    Not trying to argue you out of your preference, but trying to understand it: Why would you want to be able to accidentally hide parts of the page by having a sidebar open, or exten…

    According to a new uncle to your comment, not whois or RDAP.

    It's a grammatical error, sure, where is the indication of slop?

    Writing certainly reinforces more than that when you're not just starting out. It's a poor learning tool. When you have no grasp at all of the meaning, yes, it'll only enforce the …

    Writing reinforces. You won't learn from blind uncomprehending rewriting, sure, but when you already know the field, writing gives you the space to comprehend and digest. Certainly…

    They ignored the same copyright laws in many other cases. Why do we believe they were abiding strictly by it this time?

    No. The holy grail goes undiscovered for now.

    Embed text in an image, a human will read it just fine. Perfectly visible but opaque to AI. It'd be obnoxious to turn it into an attack, but you can replace letters with images in …

    If they're told to upload it as an opaque blob and only reference it by name, it may not react that way. So the attack may work, but it would also only last as long as you have bil…

    It is, but why? And what's with the bizarre way of phrasing that? Why the bizarre observation that, indeed, nobody asked for it?

    My gut says there are fewer people in that group than there are people who would've learned something who now decided learning something isn't worth the effort. A net loss.

    Do these hacks make bun less secure than other runtimes? I find it a little hard to believe you can get much more robust and performant than V8 or SpiderMonkey without cutting some…

    All are quite large leaps.

    Where will this slope slide next? It doesn't seem all that slippery to me. First they came for the LLMs, Lord knows plenty of people are speaking up, but who will they come for nex…

    If you were interested, check out Browsh. It's a similar project but based on Firefox and it's been around for quite some time now.

    Codeberg recently changed policy to not allow primarily AI-authored projects.

    My point is, these guardrails were implemented before the current admin ever intervened in Fable. They have the exact gangster mentality you describe. Many CEOs are lining up to ki…

    What kind of metaphor? You can be a metaphorical nanny state of something smaller like a household or comment section, I suppose, but even then not with a single statement. The pro…

    Even as an informal conclusion I think it's important to know who you're up against and what their motivations are. Waving that away is how we get people like known, obvious charla…
