metayrnc — Mon, 14 Sep 2026 21:17:04 +0000

> Amazon.com Services, LLC filed suit against Perplexity AI, Inc., an artificial intelligence company, asserting that Perplexity’s web browser tool, Comet, unlawfully accessed Amazon’s website in violation of the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) and California’s Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act (CDAFA). Perplexity’s Comet browser includes an AI “Assistant” that, when activated by a user, navigates Amazon.com on the user’s behalf, sending browser screenshots to Perplexity’s servers for further instruction. Amazon claimed that this use of the Assistant, despite their explicit prohibition, amounted to unauthorized access to its servers.

I really like this way of introducing a new feature/service. Straight to the point, explains what it does, which problem it solves, gives practical examples and walks the reader through them. So many times when I read about a new feature/service I am left with more questions than I had started with, but this was great!

This is already true for just UI vs. API. It’s incredible that we weren’t willing to put the effort into building good APIs, documentation, and code for our fellow programmers, but we are willing to do it for AI.

After reading the README, the only missing thing seems to be the equivalent of Dataview from Obsidian. Will wait for something like it before considering switching.

Wow this is such a great idea. Also the controls on mobile were top notch. No issues with random zooming, text selection, weird scrolling etc. Felt like a downloaded app.

I like the final approach. What about

-def sayHi()

def- sayHi()

I feel like having a minus communicates the intend of taking the declaration out of the public exports of a module.

For me domain model means capturing as much information about the domain you are modeling in the types and data structures you use. Most of the time that ends up meaning use Unions to make illegal states unrepresentable. For example, I have not seen a database native approach to saving union types to databases. In that case using another domain layer becomes mandatory.

I am not sure whether the videos are representative of real life performance or it is a marketing stunt but sure looks impressive. Reminds of the robot arm in Iron Man 1.

New comment by metayrnc in "Why Go?"

metayrnc — Tue, 11 Mar 2025 17:29:12 +0000

> Go also offers excellent control of memory layout and allocation (both on an object and field level) without requiring that the entire codebase continually concern itself with memory management.

I guess this sheds a bit of light in to the why not rust debate.

First time I am seeing an organization against this. Kudos to them for standing up.
