I think it showed it in the client along with your name handle.

Maybe was the easiest way to add people you knew in real life, esp if you didn't make your real name searchable. (Remember at the time people were more paranoid about staying anonymous on the Internet; this was before most social networks.)

same for 6141850 although it wouldn't work when I tried to log in like 5 years ago.

Imagine a world where all apps had numeric user ids and people memorized them.

TCG = trading card games from what i can tell (looked it up)

I also don't trust code from stackoverflow, colleagues, or even code I had written myself in the past.

Is helpful to always be skeptical of code and try to get an understanding of it.

Another way I think of it is I find it easier to revise than to write (both in English and code). So when I write something I just try to get my ideas out there and then skeptically reread it and recompose. LLMs let me just speed up that process.

then they should ask the ai questions about it to learn. Even ask it what the right questions are if needed.

On iOS, I installed VeroSMS and it lets me enter a bunch of block words such that when they are found messages go to Junk.

I read it as your company dying although if that was implied should probably use the same 'closed' term

Many US stock market indices (not on a day to day basis but are exponential if you zoom out enough)

Could install another extension change detector and hope they don't both change owners at the same time.

This is how you make an extension that you can resell for big bucks. People looking to buy extensions will need to buy popular extension checkers first so they can do so undetected. /s

In case you're not aware of it the name for what you like is WET ("Write everything twice/thrice") rather than DRY.

When I did my first webdev in 1997 I would use Geocities' file manager (think it looked like this, although it wasn't affiliated with yahoo at the time: http://ibcomp.fis.edu/graphics/tech/geocities.htm) and probably used WS_FTP as well for publishing content. Didn't use CSS, although it existed (center tags were nice) or much javascript (maybe just alerts).

BTW, this text on the site is false: "Geocities has one big advantage - it has been around a long time, and will probably continue, so it won't suddenly disappear and take your web-site with it"

Also used to use a bigfoot.com "Email forwarding for life" which I assume stopped working at some point.

Agree but I think these things can be considered games in the sense that it gives younger kids practice in following rules and interacting within a group. Also is an activity for them to spend time and there is a concept of 'winning' even if the participants cannot impact that.

Perhaps require making a docker container and writing a test script that includes inputs and expected outputs. There could be a website that loads those docker images and shows that the tests pass. Tests could be referenced within the paper. Would still require scrutiny to make sure that code doesn't hard-code the outputs.

Could ask GPT4 chatgpt to review some code. Tell it to review kindly if you want (but shouldn't need to).

>There is nothing open about OpenAI

I personally think of it as open in the sense that they provide an API to allow anyone to use it (if they pay) and take advantage of the training they did. Is in contrast to large companies like Google which have lots of data and historically just use AI for their own products.

Edit:

I define it as having some level of being open beyond 'nothing'. The name doesn't scale well over time based on business considerations and the business environment changing and was named poorly when 'open source' is a common usage of open within tech. They should have used AI products to help them in naming the company and be aware of such potential controversies.

From chatgpt today (which wasn't an option at the time but they maybe could have gotten similar information or just thought about it more):

What are the drawbacks to calling an AI company 'open'?

...

"1. Expectations of Open Source: Using the term "open" might lead people to expect that the company's AI technology or software is open source. If this is not the case, it could create confusion and disappointment among users and developers who anticipate access to source code and the ability to modify and distribute the software freely.

2. Transparency Concerns: If an AI company claims to be "open," there may be heightened expectations regarding the transparency of their algorithms, decision-making processes, and data usage. Failure to meet these expectations could lead to skepticism or distrust among users and the broader public."

I've thought they should have run more decisions by ChatGPT to predict what might happen

Thought you were asking about The Onion's Jim Anchower at first.

AI support also works great for generating code that uses ORMs.

Make sure you try gpt4 if you didn't.

I've had partial success in getting gpt4 to write rubocop cops (i.e. custom linting rules for ruby). I had to iterate a bit but eventually got something working and wouldn't have tried if I didn't have gpt helping me.

ChatGPT might work well for this.

Yeah, sounds right. But Facebook could still show progress bars for videos on all of their pages.

For Facebook some videos require you click on it to get the progress bar and annoyingly you then have to click the unmute button to hear it.

Related - if you search Google for a video and it finds a video on a Youtube /search page it will play it but it pauses when you tab away from it. If you want to listen to it in the background you need to move the tab to another window or open YouTube and probably watch an ad.

My UID is lower than yours

or at least more complex than described

Suggestion: black bars should be clickable to bring to a relevant post.

or more minimally have a tooltip that indicates the name of the person

also instead of showing a list of all the stories on the front page, show one story at a time and build an algorithm that indicates which story gets shown next. /s

xTab extension automatically closes all but the most recent n (mine is set to 20) tabs. If I pin a tab it won't close it.

If I have more open tabs than that, I likely won't be able to find them anyway.

There used to be.

"The web has come a long way in the 11 years since we launched the Chrome Web Store. Back then, we wanted to provide a way for developers to monetize their Web Store items. But in the years since, the ecosystem has grown and developers now have many payment-handling options available to them."
