I think the quality will keep improving, because humans will keep curating the training data to compete for best results. The downside is that "quality" is conflated with "performs best for a particular audience and platform" which could just as easily mean re-ingesting junk and spitting it back out... because that's what people respond to.

I see lots of “google is evil” narrative here… in reality they could add a feature to collect spam flags and still disregard user preferences. It’s just that the data will probably not help them, since adversaries are much more motivated to manipulate it for SEO profit than the average user who is unlikely to repeat that search

Can you resize the window mid-game to misdirect the AI?

I was a Pivot - this article rings true. When I first joined people would often describe with joy how exhausted they were every single day for months when they first joined, as though it was evidence of learning and growth. That’s only true sometimes. What I realized is that it doesn’t actually stop being exhausting, people just adapt. There is a difference between being tired because I applied myself, did something meaningful and useful, and learned something new, compared to just being tired from navigating personal interactions all day every day.

Google can't say this directly; forcing people to use your upsell for preferential treatment is likely anti-competitive. Instead, Google ranks on page speed (among many many factors), and then offer a proprietary tool (AMP) that promises to help.

I’ve used Inkscape for about 10 hours, and found it tough to use. Do you automate or script any of this process?

I want judges to be safe. I also want to understand the motivations of this attacker. Their actions weren't justified, but having a long-running court case that can decide the course of your life can cause many new problems. What level of desperation would cause someone to lash out like this? There will always be unreasonable people, but I wonder if this outcome would have been different if courts did indeed process cases in a timely way. We know it is especially cruel to people who have nothing to defend themselves with.

demonstrating intent in court can often be quite difficult. focusing instead on outcomes for the judges may help

A known limitation - wish I could control browser behavior here. Add it to your home screen for a better experience :)

Some time ago I looked for a piano app - something I can use on the go to harmonize with, try some chords, or just play. I wasn't happy with anything that I found, so I made my own:

- It's a progressive web app. Add it to homescreen to avoid multi-touch scroll shenanigans

- just a few hundred KB

- made using web audio, vanilla JS, SVG.

- no annoying popups

Please enjoy and let me know how you like it.

Here's a concrete example. Some of my spaced repetition is to translate between languages. When I do a translation, if it's different from the canonical answer, I write it in below. Over time I have a list of the different ways I translated, which helps me notice when I repeat mistakes or of what kind.
