> the banners are never displayed in Google Chrome!
this is demonstrably false, I can share dozens of screenshots of this popup appearing in Chrome despite all the options checked that are supposed to disable it.
Yeah the article mentions those, but those are inserted by Chrome, i.e. the website owner might not realise that they can prevent them from being shown themselves.
But yes, I'm glad my browser doesn't add them, and that I can block them in uBO.
This option never worked for me, I also tried the options under myaccount.google.com with no luck, I kept getting the popups and ended up having to switch to Brave and Safari to get rid of them.
The crazy part is that the popup is not part of the DOM, it's injected by the browser *over the page content*. If it were in a browser toolbar I woudln't mind, but obscuring page content is just asking for an antitrust suit.
I left chrome and switched to Brave 6mo ago because I couldn't get these "Sign in with Google" popups to stop. I tried both the chrome://settings/content/federatedIdentityApi option and the option under https://myaccount.google.com/ and neither one worked, I just kept getting them.
Still an unforgivable violation of trust to have a floating popup over the content that's not part of the DOM and not part of the browser's normal native UI. I never want my browser to inject unblockable overlays over sites I'm trying to browse.
does esm.sh/tsx send source to their servers? I was under the impression it uses a rust-based wasm compiler in the browser locally https://swc.rs/#features
This is always the beef that I've had with it. Particularly the lack of automatic updates and enforced immutable monotonic public version history. It leads to each program implementing its own non-standard self-updating logic instead of just relying on the system package managers. https://docs.sweeting.me/s/against-curl-sh
That said, Terragon here (which is akin to Codex and Jules) are often "too autonomous" for my taste. Human in the loop is made more difficult -- commenting may not be enough: I can't edit the code from those because the workspace is so ephemeral and/or remote.
Aw man, they say it's available but then the instructions refer to "getting the API key from the console". I'll play around with the installation command again, thank you!
EDIT: The command does it now, thanks! I tried if a few weeks ago and it didn't, so this is great.
Hundreds of billions of dollars have changed hands through shitty drag-and-drop UIs, wordpress ecommerce plugins, and dreamweaver sites, lets not forget the code is there to serve a business purpose at the end of the day. Code quality is an implementation detail that may matter less over time as rewrites get easier. I love me some beatiful hand-written clean code, but clean code is not the true goal.
Its not, but it does matter. LLMs, being next word guessers, perform differently with different inputs. Its not hard to imagine a feedback loop of bad code generating worse code and good code generating more good code.
My ability to get good responses from LLMs has been tied to me writing better code, docstrings, and using autoformatters.
I don't think that feedback loop is really a loop because code that doesn't actually do its job doesn't grow in popularity for long. We already have a great source of selection pressure to take care of shitty products that don't function: users and their $.
There is nothing about LLMs that make them bias towards "better" code. LLMs are every bit as good at making low effort reddit posts and writing essays for Harper's Magazine. In fact, there's a lot more shit reddit posts (and horrible student assignment github repos) than there are Harper's Magazine articles.
The only thing standing between your LLM and bad code is the quality of the prompt (including context and the hiddem OEM prompt).
I don't consider drag-and-drop UIs anywhere close to wordpress plugins. I'm not talking about writing bad code, I'm talking about being able to understand what you are creating.
there are many parts of computers I don't understand in detail, but I still get tremendous value using them and coding on top of abstractions I don't need to know the internals of.
I do the same with two $200 MAX plans that I switch between when one hits the limit. I use opus exclusively though so I tend to hit the first account's limits at least once a day.
