Thanks for the article, very insightful! I’m researching dev + AI workflows to build something to improve them. In your view, what’s the right granularity for storing and reusing context: A long file with lots of context per project? A small file with small bits of context per task? something in-between? And what type of context is useful for most workflows: stylistic preferences, intent, tech stack? Curious to know where you think context boundaries should actually sit to maximize usefulness without noise.

"Please show your ID to install an app" "Please show your ID to see protest pictures" "Please show your ID to have an opinion". The dystopian authoritarian future is here. Time to apologize to the 'tinfoil hats' that were mocked when they suggested this would happen?

Yeah, if it serves OP as consolation I've been in full time employment 9 yrs. Sick of 'socialising' and I'm building my own thing with 0 people to take with me. I need full agency, I'm done with death by thousand feedback. The grass is indeed greener and I'll probably miss working with people... in 2-3 years. We'll see.

Anybody knows the business reason for this feature to exist? most people here and in other places are incredibly frustrated with auto-translate and the inability to turn it off. I include myself in that bunch.

There are two potential reasons in my mind: - Youtube folks A/B tested it and it got more engagement - n/ views, time viewed per video, etc. (but were they tracking the right metrics? ie did they capture user frustration) - Some 'guru' at Youtube decided "it's good UX" and "it's what everybody wants". In such case, the damage the 'guru' is doing is unbelievable. Millions of people annoyed across the world... every single day.

Very impressed. As a programming impostor (never formally trained, and not working as programmer) I find the program 1) helped me to understand the basics of a full blown IDE dev cycle end to end 2) helped me to refine an app on the making. Perhaps the one thing that surprised me vs standard Claude is that it didn't ask me about the tech stack to build my app. It went nuclear with a complex react-based stack when my app's needs are less demanding (a simple html+css+js could do it)

I've been using LibreWolf as my daily driver for a couple of years. Highly recommended! Available for Windows, MacOS and Linux. Ranked as the highest for privacy protection in a 2022 study: https://www.ghacks.net/2022/06/15/privacytests-reveals-how-y...

Occasionally, you might get a broken website but to fix it you just click on the shield icon and lower the privacy settings.

Looks like plastics can enter the body through sweat glands. I threw away all my polyester workout clothing (which I loved to use) because of this concern.

Call me paranoid but I'm going 100% cotton and linen. Not keen on getting my hormones disrupted by inhaling and absorbing microplastics!

So many comments get caught on the wording 'deanonymization'. Is there a standardized definition of 'deanonymization' accross industry experts, privacy-conscious people and hackers?

For many commenters, it looks like deanonymization means unveiling highly sensitive info like name, address, email, etc.

For privacy-conscious individuals and hackers, it looks like it means 'revealing a data point that shouldn't be revealed'.

As a signal or Discord user, I would expect my country location not to be revealed to a person I don't know. So the latter definition makes sense to me.

To me, it's your thinking that's unhinged. You seem blind to the reality we live in. In your country, Nigel Farage had his banking account cancelled because of having the wrong ideology. What you qualify as impossible is already happening. People are already getting economically punished for opposing ideas imposed by the state and elites. Don't trust me? Go right now to your linkedin and make a post saying: "I dislike homosexuality and I oppose LGTB rights." That's a completely legal statement, but if you have a typical employer (ie Fortune 500 corp) you're going to be out of a job pretty quickly. For the record: I disagree with Farage and support LGTB rights. However it's messed up to impose ideologies through economic sanctions. And in western democracies this is already happening.
