“We’re building an age-prediction system to estimate age based on how people use ChatGPT.” Is there something wrong with simply asking the user when they register? (volatile age not DOB).

It’s still possible to use a button in the email if you include a copypasteable variant in the mail itself.

Demands increasing page size if you sync frequently (bandwidth).

Yeah - does this get nullabilities right?

The world is figuring out how to make this technology fit and work and somehow this is "behind" schedule. It's almost comical.

Yeah, if you're specific about it and know what to expect it's usually workable. In any case, this blog post is an indicator of what's about to come next.

Tried example. No redirect occurred after 3 SHIFT presses, had to use both ESC and SHIFT to trigger it somehow. The irony.

Yes, there aren’t that many tor nodes. It’s not the safe haven protocol or transport suite people make it out to be.

What's the relation with Twitch?

I see the post got flagged, sad to see but if that's the verdict this'll be the last comment on this post.

The title is not "I caught a Russian developer doing bad things during war!!", the title mentions "a cautionary tale", which from my point of view is a PSA through the means of sharing observations and my interpretation, with some speculation to inform the reader of possible avenues which may affect them, if not through this repository, through another.

To close my writing I'll include the content of a comment in response to a different user, which should define my intent:

"My point would mainly be to spread awareness and share an experience and my interpretation of it, not "slander" and paint a target on my back by namecalling and divulging more information which doesn't serve a purpose beyond wanting clout under the assumption that the war does not affect myself and others around me."

Thanks. Have a good weekend.

That's fair, shall I put the names in the article and a link to the repository? Really, it's a war. Do you think I will risk my own wellbeing just to have clout for a few days?

Not to mention opening myself up for the possibility of being sued by one or more contributors for "slander". I chose this approach and won't budge on that - it's not a fairy tale that people are dying and everything is affected by it, the list of embargos is considerable.

Consider that you are connected to the world - including Russia. Would you trust your Russian neighbour if he pivoted his development style, opinions, pace, characteristics? No.

Have a great weekend. Thank you.

Major shifts in behavior from the lead developer does not concern you? Overthrowing the dependencies used and opting in for more experimental and not as battletested JS frameworks does not alarm you?

Going against a strong personal opinion after stagnation of development and a complete pivot on multiple levels is normal to you?

Shall I mention mainframes still run COBOL? Should I introduce the latest version of this library to achieve the same? You do know it entails more chance of something wrong happening, and yes the developer is Russian, didn't we have an advisory against Kaspersky?

Why would a repository with six figure stars be negligible and Kaspersky not? Please read other comments as well. Thanks for your perspective and have a great weekend.
