But replit isn’t just a coding assistant - it’s value is that it handles all the associated parts of launching a web app. It manages api secrets, hosts the app, does user authentication, etc. And its target user is “semi-technical”, you don’t even see the code it writes by default.

Creating a db and not accidentally permanently deleting it is one of the capabilities it should have.

That’s an implementation choice. All the math involved is deterministic if you want it to be.

There are fonts designed to be legibly at really small size. I wonder if there are voices that are especially understandable at extreme speeds.

Could use an “auctioneer” voice to playback text at 10x speed.

Or it could read the article and rewrite the title to make the point clear.

And give a score based on how interesting it will likely be to you.

New comment by cookingrobot in "What if we made advertising illegal?"

cookingrobot — Sun, 06 Apr 2025 00:53:50 +0000

How is that? There are lots of things that are illegal that are just “speech”.

Fraud, threats, impersonation, etc etc.

I think it’s like asking someone “how many times does your pen change direction when writing the word strawberry on paper”.

You need to think really hard to get to an answer, because that’s more fine grained than the way you usually think about words and letters.

Idea: we should make sure we keep track of what the human created content is, so that we don’t get confused by AI edits of everything in the future.

For ex, calculate the hash of all important books, and publish that as the “historical authenticity” check. Put the hashes on some important blockchain so we know it’s unchanged over time.

How about copyright?

This looks great, but I’m always nervous about granting access to google drive.

Does this give permission to read everything on my Google Drive or just this one spreadsheet?

How many Starships would it take to go and bring Voyager 1 back to earth?

If each ship was used like an expendable stage, and we were willing to use 100 ships, how long would it take to catch up to Voyager, stop, and return to earth?

That’s called reinsurance, and insurance companies buy that to cover them when disasters are more than they can afford.
