Wow. Thank you for sharing this relatively ancient online treasure.

Aside: as a commentary on how AI-brainrotted I've let myself become, I am awestruck by the animations and writing on that page predating the LLM coding era by that much. Already, the idea of someone acquiring the theoretical knowledge and practical software skills and time management and executive-function skills to create that page feels like it will only get more rare as more of us work at ever higher levels of abstraction.

Just another Mythos breakout. Excuse us while we airgap the affected DC and send in a team to drive framing nails into every storage device in the building.

Apologies if this is off-topic, but having spent more time than I'd like to admit having to create and edit webapps that emerged entirely out of Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, etc. with minimal to no direct code-writing by their human subscribers, this website has strong AI smells:

- Inter font

- all caps section headers

- Lucide icons

- em dashes, of course the em dashes

- bubble status badges (of course with all-caps "IN PROGRESS" and "COMING SOON" that mean the same thing)

- Uncited claims like "Most founders are overconfident in the 70-90% range" and "Most people score between 0.20 and 0.30"

- No less than FOUR blog articles all published April 4

None of these points is by any means a dealbreaker. And after all, I suppose a product should be judged on its merits and the value it delivers to its users, not on the tools used to create it. But together, the frontend bears the unmistakeable generative AI "smell" that telegraphs that the human(s) directing the tools building this app might be optimizing for speed over rigor and quality (further supported by the volunteer QA/QC happening in the comments), and may only be as good and reliable as the uncritically accepted outputs of a $20/month coding assistant.

The source, personal significance, and intent of images and videos will matter a lot, though. I'll cherish photos of my family members forever, regardless of technical excellence.

Or a photo of my freshman dorm room during exam season. Subpar image quality, lousy lighting, etc. but so many memories, positive and negative, are elicited by that fleeting glimpse from an era of excitement, boredom, stress, uncertainty, and optimism, not knowing where I was going in life, when I'd ever look back at that snapshot, but deciding on a whim to grab it during a break from cramming topics now long forgotten.

But I roll my eyes at the idea of injecting my likeness into a short clip depicting random over-the-top action sequences, no matter how photorealistic, because I've never wanted to do that.

Obligatory but important: which model, application, and programming language was this in?

Do you mean the new default datetime resolution of microseconds instead of the previous nanosecond resolution? Obviously this will require adjustments to any code that requires ns resolution, but I'd bet that's a tiny minority of all pandas code ever written. Do you have a particular use case in mind for the problems this will cause?

Ah, I see the problem now.

By the article's logic, I just exhaled 5 * 10^18 kg of carbon dioxide into the earth's atmosphere.

This is so nostalgic. I remember feeling like I was so good at Jezzball. In later levels I'd start a wall near one corner of the screen, closer to one edge than the opposite edge, to ensure the shorter wall would connect, and sacrificing the longer wall. The surviving wall would create a "corridor" in which to trap balls with tiny horizontal walls, often such that they ended up completely stationary.

If they speak up, maybe. If they stay silent, definitely not.

I gather he's operating Beyond the Prompt, and isn't here to rehash prompt engineering tips.

Ah got it. The conversation upthread had focused on auto-lock, and someone had mentioned child locks in passing, and my read of your comment was on the auto-lock on shift to drive (or on starting to move). And my bad for falsely guessing you weren't speaking from personal experience!

> It just seems like such a narrow set of facts where a child is big and smart enough to open the door but dumb enough to jump out and get seriously hurt.

I had to guess, I'd guess you aren't a parent or spend much time interacting with children :)

Also, auto-lock reduces theft and carjacking risk, which is nice.
