Disappointed that it wasn't returning a list of paragraphs from eBooks that semantically match; search only appears to list the publications - not the actual match within the document.
Living in bizarro world of AI. Install open source project, fails, feed into OpenCode w/DeepSeekFlash 4 -> feed error into it get fixed.
The kill_port function only catches ImportError from the psutil block, so when psutil is installed but raises AccessDenied (common on macOS), it crashes instead of falling back to lsof.
In platform_paths.py - add two lines after line 250:
except psutil.Error:
pass
Fixed. Now when psutil raises AccessDenied (as happens on macOS without elevated privileges), it falls through to the lsof/fuser fallback instead of crashing. Try docubrowser start again.
I think it's all about keeping state in the determinant space. I've come across the same issue, the key was to not rely on LLM performing workflow - the runtime needs to enforce.
This is great stuff! As a side note, I wonder if anyone has created a HAM viewer that runs in the browser? I remember HAM flickering by necessity and being amazed by 4096 colors on-screen at once. There was a certain quality of HAM images on the Amiga that made them instantly identifiable.
OMG. Thanks so much for posting this - completely awesome! Such a nostalgic roller coaster ride, from Qmodem to Xcopy and everything in between... brought back so many memories... - thanks again!
I’m not making a claim about whether any particular idea is good or bad.
I’m pointing out that the process by which ideas gain acceptance is somewhat independent from their actual quality, so acceptance alone isn’t a strong signal.
I might not have been clear. I’m separating two questions:
(1) whether an idea is actually good or true, and
(2) how easily it gains acceptance.
My point is just that (2) doesn’t reliably answer (1).
I think we’re still talking past each other. I’m not arguing that any specific idea is good.
My point is just that public acceptance itself isn’t reliable evidence either way: ideas can gain support (or fail) for reasons other than their actual merit.
Having worked in public advocacy advertising, I’d frame it like this:
“Good ideas don’t need lies” is a compelling ideal but in practice, public acceptance isn’t a reliable signal of truth or societal benefit. It depends on incentives, narratives, and how information is presented.
History shows that even harmful or suboptimal ideas (like coal power) can gain widespread support if presented persuasively, while genuinely beneficial ideas can struggle if they’re complex or unintuitive.
A useful heuristic is: if an idea relies on misleading claims to survive scrutiny, that’s a warning sign. But public acceptance itself is not proof of goodness or correctness.
In short: persuasion and truth are related—but far from identical.
Thanks for the link to the Parable of the Polygons - her work is amazing.
You might be right about the mindset, I have no idea about the demographic that plays the game; only that they seem to be repulsed by BuyMeACoffee. The heavy users (i.e. more than 12 hours on site within last month) - once they see that banner for the first time for a return session instantly stop playing. It's not long enough yet to see if they return. Maybe it's the equivalent to putting a "Remember to buy your mom a gift on her birthday" pop-up on a porn site ;-) It's a mojo killer for sure.
Let me tell you, I've seen more than my fair share of surgery videos involving "de-sheathing" in my research: I don't envy your editing work - but I envy your stomach ;-) But thanks for your reply, the community here can be great at times!
Thanks for your thoughtful comment! You're right - Biodesign can be used in Plaque Incision and Grafting (PIG) for Peyronies. Unfortunately PIG IMHO has (in some studies I have read) a 50/50 chance of erectile dysfunction, nerve injury, instability and so on. In essence, PIG might be rolling the dice to make a bad situation completely untenable. But again, I do thank you for your comment!
