Epic.

I built something similar at https://ictsos.org, which is a human trafficking nonprofit.

But in testing, I found that history deletion was not possible everywhere. I opted to open a new tab with a harmless google search, so that the history would not exist in that tab. Meanwhile, the original tab is also redirected to a new page.

I'm going to investigate what the UK site did to look for any potential improvements I can make.

Came here for this. I hate it too. When I make a site with dark mode, I make sure the dark color loads by default and then changes to light if needed to address this specific issue.

I've always heard it called the Pregnancy Principle – or maybe it's just a corollary.

"Nine women cannot do in one month what one woman can do in nine months".

That's helpful insight. My prediction is that as it keeps getting more expensive for the big players to run these models, we will start to see some kind of hybrid workload where they offload some of the work to your computer for smaller agents while keeping the orchestration and planning running in the data centers.

So I think the investment in the extra hardware is worth it, even if you don't currently plan on running LLMs locally.

I don't yet know how to give it money to spend. I could give it a small crypto wallet, but few places accept that as currency. I was thinking of using one of those virtual credit card services that lets me set limits and block certain merchants. I will treat it like an intern. If it can show responsibility and reliability with small amounts then I will slowly increase its spending limit over time (and depending on the nature of the tasks it's performing).

There’s a video right on the landing page that shows it in use. Played fine on mobile for me.

But to answer the question, it looks a lot like a Canva competitor.

Thinking this through… I spent around $3500 and $4500 on my last two MBPs, but got 9 years of use out of each of them. That’s only $450/yr.

But where I used to get a new iPhone every other year, I’m now on the fourth year of my 13P and it still works great. That’s only $300/yr.

It’s interesting to think about.

That is not at all what they said. Your interpretation seems disingenuous.

This is too cute.

Good times. I used to fire it up, go eat breakfast, and come back just in time to see the weather forecast.

And in my state I needed more documentation for an ID than was required for my passport. It varies wildly.

That’s why we have classes and namespaces.

Anyone can write good or bad code. Avoiding new functionality and syntax won’t change that.

Is this not the logical result of fighting spammers? It’s easier to trust messages coming from mega corp when you know mega corp has invested in mechanisms that ensure their systems aren’t being used to send spam. I certainly don’t like the negative impact on people who choose to self host, but I also don’t see it as an intentional effort to shut out legitimate emails.

I’m bothered by the UK thing because beyond just the marketing, we had Tim declare that “Privacy is a human right.”

Marketing is BS, and I expect companies to screw customers and ideals (“Do no evil”) whenever it’s convenient. But I really thought Tim understood the assignment and would keep Apple on track for at least the duration of his tenure.

Now every nation knows they can pass similar laws and Apple will do nothing.

The idea is pretty brilliant. I hope it takes off. Good luck.

This product looks awesome and the mobile app looks exceptional. But if it’s not self-hosted and in some kind of standard format,you’re SOL when the company shuts down. Even though you can export your data, where are you supposed import it to?

Here are some possible alternatives: https://selfh.st/alternatives/notion/

I still generate random passwords for the questions. I don’t like that someone who knows me well could use them to gain access to an account.

… but yes we definitely need extra fields for storing that and lots of other related data.

I’m a 1Password user and one of the features I really like is that it saves ALL of the fields from a signup form along with the password. That has saved me a couple of times where I needed to know some value I had entered at the time I created an account.

Since Guttenberg WP has become a complete mess and most devs I know are migrating away from it. It’s definitely on the chopping block.

Enter team C, the US government.

The slippery slope argument is no doubt a valid one. But Apple specifically implemented (almost) the CSAM scanning after being threatened by multiple politicians - notably Lindsey Graham - that if they didn’t find a solution that they would legislate a backdoor into the OS for law enforcement. I think Apple was doing everything they could to appease the demand without actually violating users’ privacy. While it’s clear they failed to please end users, the solution itself was pretty ingenious.

Can I work remotely?

> Also that apparently Facebook stores the conversations in plain (or easily decryptable) text.

This. Even with E2EE enabled, that only protects your conversations as they travel between you and facebook's servers. It does not mean that the messages are protected from facebook being able to see them. People should have zero expectation of privacy on facebook's platform(s).

It doesn't matter whether end (you) to end (facebook) encryption is enabled or not. That only protects data "in transit". The information is still accessible in to facebook "at rest". Enabling E2EE should give you absolutely no sense of privacy from Facebook because it doesn't exist.

I use Swift Default Apps for this, which is a macOS preference pane that accomplishes the same thing for all UTIs/Apps. It's also worth checking out.

No wonder they keep getting my order wrong. I was using the brown heart (heroin) instead of the red heart (MDMA).

No, it's a new iPhone 13 Pro.

Poorly? He made $165M spewing lies, and got fined $4M. He has $161M of incentive to keep doing what he does.

The only way to not be complicit is to not have a phone. China makes them all.
