They're turning Gaza into a hell, now planning to "conquer" it and clean it off of Hamas (and the evidence for war crimes), then they'll say, we're already here, we might as well take it.

I solved it by generating English subtitles, then passing those to an LLM in chunks that are ~20 entries in size. Include preceding and following subtitles as context for better translation. Make sure to replace the timestamps with simple integer ids, because LLMs like to mangle those, no matter how hard you prompt.

I could share a python script that is working pretty reliably for me.

I tried using `tailscale funnel` against a dummy server `python -m http.server`, and within 10 seconds the bots started to check for vulnerabilities.

Tailscale warns you about how enabling it will issue an HTTPS certificate which will be in a public ledger. But I wasn't expecting it to be this quick.

I still write small some scripts in golang when the bootup time is important. Python still takes its time to boot up, and it's not the best tool for the job if it's gonna be called like a shell utility for thousands of files, for example.

Autoruns utility still exists.

My go-to is a factory classmethod:

    class Foo:
        def __init__(self, config: Config): ...

        @classmethod
        def from_config_file(cls, filename: str):
          config = # parse config file
          return cls(config)

Smaller binary sizes for easier + cheaper distribution might be a factor.

It sounds like cheap dubbed documentations. But it is certainly useful.

I use Kiwi Browser on Android, which is a Chrome-based browser with extension support. I have a userscript that gradually fades out and desaturates social media pages in 8 minutes. After 4-5 minutes, pages fade out so much that you are forced to stop scrolling and it's not enjoyable anymore.

The same can be done on Firefox, which supports installing Tampermonkey for managing userscripts.

Simon likes to test LLMs' creativity by asking them questions about pelicans

It's creating global helper funcs for creating elements. E.g. `a(...)` for an anchor

I think it's for material design inspired focus animations. :has selector wasn't a thing, so you have to use + sibling selector to target the label of a focused input

    input:focus + label {} 
    label:has(input:focus) {}

Astro[0]: wrong tool for this job.

Use the CLI. It prints the transfer speed and progress:

    /Applications/Tailscale.app/Contents/MacOS/Tailscale file cp /path/to/file my-device-name:

(The colon : at the end is not a typo.)

For TSV, you might wanna consider importing it into a Sqlite database, then querying it however you please.

You can also use datasette & sqlite utils for it

I usually ask for ChatGPT for a 1000 word summary. Works quite well for getting rid of unnecessary details.

Use playwright's code generator that turns turn page interactions into code.

Could zipping the file with a password work as an encryption?

Does Affinity Photo have photo library management support like Lightroom? e.g. pick/reject, tagging, rating etc.

> make requests even if you don't have the .proto around

Like this?

    > grpcurl -d '{"id": 1234, "tags": ["foo","bar"]}' \
        grpc.server.com:443 my.custom.server.Service/Method

How is that even possible? How could grpcurl know how to translate your request to binary?

> I'd never (not so far) encounter a word or text that starts with a comma immediately followed by anything.

Agreed. I prefer using `!bang`s for the same reason for expanding text.

There's now an `HD` button to send images at high resolution, and higher quality.

I've always been a fan of Faststone Image Viewer. It's similarly small and packed with features.

I am asking because I never tried this. Isn't it better to earn more and take unpaid leaves than having 2 more weeks of paid leaves? 2 weeks of extra unpaid leave = 1/2 a month's pay, meaning you could afford to do it if you earn 4% more yearly.

Looks useful for photography. You can see where the light and shadow areas will be and plan out where and when to go.

I tried Windows on UTM (based on qemu, I believe) and the graphics were choppy. I attributed that to the lack of graphics acceleration. Is it also the same on Parallels?

I observed the same thing happen for YouTube videos in the last couple of years and it drives me crazy. I don't need 20 different comments fishing for likes that try hard to compliment something, and point out how this creator does something that others don't. They're everywhere!

I really like this feature on Jetbrains IDEs, called "camel humps". If I wanna select the entire identifier I click somewhere within then hit Control + G or Option + Up (which expands the selection based on AST)
