What about map applications which manipulate the history to store the position of the map as users drag and release to make back and forward work to the users expectation in a single page app? It’s not malicious, but will Google flag it?

Did they mount my Canon 7D to the outside? :D reminds me of the familiar grain haha


The biggest problem I have with DLSS 5 is how it completely upends and ruins the dynamic lighting that the developers spend a huge amount of time perfecting to set the perfect mood for the scene.


It's not even out yet.


Instead of "should have been an email" this is "should have been a prompt" and can be run locally instead. There are a number of ways to do this from a linux terminal.

``` write a custom crawler that will crawl every page on a site (internal links to the original domain only, scroll down to mimic a human, and save the output as a WebP screenshot, HTML, Markdown, and structured JSON. Make it designed to run locally in a terminal on a linux machine using headless Google Chrome and take advantage of multiple cores to run multiple pages simultaneously while keeping in mind that it might have to throttle if the server gets hit too fast from the same IP. ```

Might use available open source software such as python, playwright, beautifulsoup4, pillow, aiofiles, trafilatura


This presumably is going to be cheap and effective. Its much easier to wrap a prompt round this and know it works that mess around with crawling it all yourself.

You'll still be hand-rolling it if you want to disrespect crawling requirements though.


I’ve actually written a crawler like that before, and still ended up going with Firecrawl for a more recent project. There’s just so many headaches at scale: OOMs from heavy pages, proxies for sites that block cloud IPs, handling nested iframes, etc.


That'd be more like that draw an owl meme. Devil's in the details. Holy shit, there's so many details...


Pretty sure we've seen people coding in essentially every other programming language also shoot themselves in the foot.


Every language has foot-guns of some sort. The difference is how easy it is to accidentally pull the trigger.

PHP makes it easy.


Back in the day people were all about languages like C that made it incredibly easy too.


We didn't have anything better unless you wanted to take a massive performance hit and/or lose a ton of flexibility and capability.


Yeah of course PHP isn't the only programming language you can write bugs in. I don't think you can make it impossible to shoot yourself in the foot, but PHP gives you more opportunities than some other languages, especially with older PHP standard library functions.

One thing I particularly hate is when functions require calling another function afterwards to get any errors that happened, like `json_decode`. C has that problem too.

Problems don't make it a _bad_ programming language. All languages have problems. PHP just has more than some other languages.


PHP is insanely great, and very fast. The hate has no clout.


Agents are language agnostic actually, I think "best" this "best" that is a little overboard.


Yikes, these government folks just sign without even thinking or having a single clue about how the rule will work. They are completely irresponsible.


It's insanely dangerous to have so much data stored on so many servers that are inevitably not maintained.


Nah, do you honestly think the thousands of sub-packages in your project are actually being maintained? False sense of security there.
