Ask the agent to write a script to run after each changes, against the newly added code.

Use that script as a super linter.

That’s the only way I found to strictly enforce some rules, like the no comments rule, without enforcing them against my own changes or old code.

How? How would a browser "know" what classifies as finger printing? Literally every piece of the engine is used for finger printing.

It can be mitigated, a bit, but I don't see how browsers can win that battle.

Finger printing is a lost battle in my opinion, unless we drastically reduce what a web engine can do (like Tor does).

People are migrating to the "End Of Thought" triggers. Deepgram does that wonderfully.

Looking at the sun daily timelapse. It looks like the rotation of the sun is more that 1/365th of the sun diameter. What am i missing?

Man… you guys are ruthless. The dude provides a free tool to use, and used a cute named, have opinions about code, and used the most common used photo on his webpage, and suddenly he gets insulted on a public forum by strangers. He's not perfect. Nobody is. He has opinions, and might not even know about Lenna.

You people are gross.

Bluebubble is the way to go for this.

I've created an iCloud account for my llm. On my Mac, I created another user account, not an admin, just regular. Linked to the iCloud account. Installed Bluebubble.

And now I can chat with my AI via iMessage, via my Apple watch, or my homepods. It works beautifully.

When I speak to an agent, siri, or whatnot, I am always worried that they will assume I'm done talking when I'm thinking. Sometimes I need a many-seconds pause. Even maybe a minute… For Sire and such, I want to ask something simple "Hey Siri, remind me to call dad tomorrow". Easy. But for Claude and such, I want to go on a long monolog (20s, a minute, multi-minutes).

To me, be the best solution would be semantic + keyword + silence.

Hey Agent, blablablabla, thank you.

Hey Agent, blablablabla, please.

Hey Agent, blablablabla, oops cancel.

Not gonna argue with "who said what".

All I can tell you with certainty is that the people who designed and funded webgl/asmjs/llvm efforts at Mozilla (Alon, Vlad, Brendan, …) clearly understood that wasm was a needed companion alongside JS (and its DOM&co bindings). Not a replacement. I was part of these conversations.

I understand why people would think it was a JS killer, but that's a naive way of looking at it.

> The whole "it's not meant to replace JS" thing was just to reduce pushback from JS devs.

It was born at the same time as webgl, at the time of Jit optimisation for js engines. As a subset of js first, then as wasm as we know it. It was originally for games and performance on the web.

At no point there was a conversation about "replacing js", but more like, "js can't do these stuff. let's have something else".

You have the wrong understanding about wasm. It's absolutely not supposed to be replacing HTML, CSS or JS.

And yes wasm is used wildly. On the web for expensive computation (Google earth, figma, autocad, unity games) or server side for portability and sandboxing (Cloudflare workers, fastly, …)
