How do these freaks keep replying to nerdjpg

That said, I think some are underestimating how effective these learned patterns are at generating usable, clean code with proper setup. And even more people are overestimating it (the bsky team seemingly, and vibe coders), at least in its current state.

I wouldn't use the phrase regurgitation myself, but the case can be made that it's regurgitating the _patterns_ from its training set. It's ultimately still a probable-next-token generator, just a highly complex one. This is why your example of a new language isn't an example of innovation.

That's not innovation though

What's the charge? Serving a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?

There's no shortcut that works imo. Go through something like Khan academy. You'll find by starting from the beginning you'll zoom through it

Awesome thread

Sure but that's not what this project is alleging. There's no exploit or secret or anything, it's known that this is how Chromium browsers work when it comes to extensions. Nobody should use Chrome

your sister is cool

This is a really good point but yeah this would be quite easy to solve too

Yeah it's quite bad. A lot of Firefox extensions will insert stuff into the DOM so you can do the same to some degree, but Firefox will have a random UUID in the extension URL so it's not possible to do it for all extensions. If I didn't already dislike Chrome I definitely would now

Well not just about your browser but still "only" data your browser makes public from the start. Still, MS should not do this and they should be sued. Chrome shouldn't publish extension info so freely too

"Searching your computer" is a bit misleading when it's fingerprinting/gathering data about your browser. Still messed up but the title makes it seem like it's going through your entire system's files

Bluesky tweet on Nov 20, 2025: every time a software tool adds an Al feature nobody asked for, a human logs off

In retrospect this is very funny

Sooo sick

Sam Seder made this argument too. I don't think Sam was lying but it was both surprising he didn't know and disappointing he thought that mattered

but using the command line makes you feel like a cool hacker! but yeah that is a real issue with a lot of these. you can automate it but that requires a lot of effort and some skill

if you want to look at cool websites check out neocities neocities.org/browse

going to plug my site too where i share my current weird little interests wli.neocities.org

i almost chose 11ty but i had a small amount of familiarity with astro so went for that. ssg is so good, i never really used it until recently and now i'm trying to convince people to ditch their wordpress sites lol

thank you!! yeah i used astro. when i was a kid i used dreamweaver and later just notepad.exe so it was fun making something like this with new tech

i JUST launched my own last night lol tho i think your site is more in the spirit of the indie web. i went with nekoweb bc neocities has an annoying cors policy autotoxin.nekoweb.org

I actually know what they're for but I'm not telling

I did make the jump around eight years ago coincidentally and it was a bit of a pain. It's only been smooth and awesome for a few years

I appreciate the reply!

Me too!

I used to live next to a prison that was converted into a mix of housing and offices (not in the US) and it's way nicer than you'd expect inside

If you uninstall the MS Store version, it falls back to the legacy version. The legacy version doesn't have markdown parsing, which is where the exploit actually happens (not the LLM features)

You have, in fact, repeatedly done this about China throughout this thread
