I've also been told the key difference between a Land Rover, and a door-to-door salesman is you can close the door on the latter.

I hadn't checked since I posted this, but today the entire document appears properly unredacted! Nice work.

This is on FF for me. Specifically Zen, which is FF based.

Is this just a quirk in my display, or are all the code blocks in this formatted like a CIA black highlighter

Regardless of if you agree with the US Constitution's perspective on self-evident rights, your point here does not negate what they said, simply indicates that the Russian government is not constrained in the same way the US government is.

I don't want to have to ask questions like this when using a browser that is intended to anonymize me
Comment · 1 year ago
Yes, however it still means that the browser is phoning home to somewhere. To be able to make use of that API key, it has to send some data out. Is that data routed over TOR? Does it even matter given that an API key can be used to deanonymize you?

I made the decision a few months back to go all in on self-hosting, and my own infrastructure. At least once a week I run into something that makes me realize I made the right decision. It's that time of the week again.

I'm not sure I follow what you mean, but in general yes. I do find "just read the docs" to be a way to excuse not helping team members. Often docs are not great, and tribal knowledge is needed. If you're in a situation where you're either working on your own and have no access to that, or in a situation where you're limited by the team member's willingness to share, then AI is an OK alternative within limits.

Then there's also the issue that examples in documentation are often very contrived, and sometimes more confusing. So there's value in "work up this to do such and such an operation" sometimes. Then you can interrogate the functionality better.
