It should appear a second after the page seems to have finished loading, so that it hijacks the input if the user is navigating with the keyboard or typing something into a form.

LinkedIn today is so serious about its cookies it can't do proper logout. As long as there's a cookie, I don't know if it's random or what's going on, but if you log out... there's a > 20% chance if you leave for a while and then go back to LI... you're still logged in!

If you log out, and then (in Firefox) close the window... oh wait, you're not really logged out. Try again.

If you log out in Firefox, wait until the window is quiet, then delete the cookie... LinkedIn creates a new cookie... which still sometimes logs you back in but not as often.

Opening a new window, deleting the LinkedIn window (fuck watever it's doing), and THEN delete the cookie in the NEW window... then it seems to stay gone at least as of today.

This post made me irrationally angry.

Man, I need to unplug.

Hell yeah

Craig Mod is great for Japan https://craigmod.com/ !

One of my favourite writers. I fully recommend him.

This makes me suspect that OP would have similar problems with other inference providers.

The funny thing about this is that this also appears in bad human writing. We would be better off if vague statements like this were eliminated altogether, or replaced with less fantastical but verifiable statements. If this means that nothing of the article is left then we have killed two birds with one stone.

What do you think the LLMs were trained on? 90% of everything is crap, and they trained on everything.

Land-line telephones are awful because the majority of people who will pick up the phone during the day on Monday-Friday are old or disabled, i.e. easier to manipulate. I don't think I have received a single legitimate phone call during that time. In fact, legit callers know this and know that if they do call for a good reason, the person at the other end will distrust them.

The thing is, these topics have already been discussed by philosophers! Questions of authenticity, human subjectivity, reproducibility etc are not new. But for the average joe and the non-philosophically-inclined techie, the thing has to actually exist before they start really talking about it.

Hi HN,

Getting started in open source software development can be intimidating to newcomers - but a lot of great projects highlight "good first issues". I wanted to make something that allows you to see all these issues in one place (for Python). I'm thinking of extending this for other languages depending on whether this is of any use to anyone...

I implemented it by creating an AWS Lambda function that pulls the latest tagged issues from GitHub for a number of repositories, then saves these as JSON files on S3. The website itself is coded in React.

I did a MSc in computer science, got burned out. Learned where my limits were. I learned a bunch of academic things, sure, but also was filled with doubts about what I should do next...

Congrats on finishing. Your experience sounds a lot like mine.

Spaced repetition is great, but be warned - it's no substitute for really learning the content.

It won't let you draw connections between concepts, because the information is presented in bite sized chunks in a way that each concept is considered independently, not parts of a whole. I've found that I learn things much better when I see how they are interconnected and AFAIK this is supported by research.

For this reason, if you're considering using spaced rep for university courses I recommend that you write your own flashcards, not use somebody else's. The process of converting the knowledge in the course into appropriate flashcard sized pieces is a pretty handy way of learning the information itself.
