I think we're finally getting to see a glimpse of the future. People and LLMs, working together. (And doing it really well.)

It's pretty exciting.

I always thought the sex analogy with cables was funny. Turns out the analogy and its history goes down deeper than I thought.

I know it might be a security nightmare, but I still want to see an implementation of client-side web search.

Like a full search engine that can visit pages on your behalf. Is anyone building this?

Has anyone ever built a document editor with SVG?

I realize it's far from a best practice and even explicitly stated as a bad idea somewhere in the SVG spec, but the idea of a document editor where you can individually position each and every character and make detailed, individual glyphs natively without loading fonts is interesting to me.

Are there any examples of this? Or perhaps different (better) approaches to a document editor with the advantages I said above?

This was the very first post I saw on Hacker News.

Glad to see it reposted every now and then. Makes me nostalgic.

Safari/WebKit seems to be the issue. Perhaps try another browser?

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I opened it, got some coffee, and then tried opening it again in a new window. Somehow it worked perfectly on the second attempt after being broken.

Maybe give it another try? I'm on Safari as well.

Sucks that you even have to consider this though.

I've seen several European initiatives similar to this before, and the same question is always asked: what does this actually do?

People (at least on HN) seem to be in agreement the Europe is too regulatory and bureaucratic, so it feels fair to question the practicality of any American initiatives, as we do for European ones.

What does this document practically enact today? Is there any actual money allocated? Deregulation seems to be a theme, so are there any examples of regulations which have been cleansed already? How about planning? This document is full of directives and the names of federal agencies which plan to direct, so what are the actual results of said plans that we can see today and in the coming years?
