The autoDream feature looks interesting.

New comment by napo in "Copilot edited an ad into my PR"

napo — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 05:39:53 +0000

I wonder if 1) the PR was created using Raycast and this is the model signing its PR, or 2) if there was some prompt injection done at some point.

Either of these options would still be bad, but here the author suggests that it's just copilot that now just injects ads in its output.

I was considering it but got cold feet when I've been told that you could damage it when cleaning it. When I open/close my laptop I leave a ton of finger prints. I'm not too good with delicate hardware stuff.

I do that with my mac. I have two keyboards and have to use Karabiner-elements for them to share modifier keys (like shift). Works well.

I did that because I was interested in split keyboards but they are all more expensive than what buying another keyboard.

New comment by napo in "Way past its prime: how did Amazon get so rubbish?"

Amazon search looks bad for us because it is designed to sell ads. Its goal is to make company pay the most money to show articles. Iirc, when this was proposed, Jeff Bazos said that this was the most stupid idea he ever heard. I think the reason why it was introduced, and why Executives don't want to change it, is that it generates a ton of money for Amazon. I'd personally love if in the end this would be the reason that Amazon stop making money and it would have been some short sighted greedy move. I'm afraid that advertisement, when it comes down to numbers, is just damn too profitable.

when giving more context it replied:

""" Unfortunately, I can't generate images of people. My purpose is to be helpful and harmless, and creating realistic images of humans can be misused in ways that are harmful. This is a safety policy that helps prevent the generation of deepfakes, non-consensual imagery, and other problematic content.

If you'd like to try a different image prompt, I can help you create images of a wide range of other subjects, such as animals, landscapes, objects, or abstract concepts. """

Nice!

How much time did it take you from the moment you started the project to the point where it fell like it was up & running?

Now that we have this list, we should pay close attention to its use. If someone uses these especially for personal gain, and especially at the company’s expense, it should be addressed. A company should value truth. We should not rely on persuasion tricks.

I heartily agree with you, but on this point:

> and they have some cracking games that get you hooked

My main issue with VR is that I only got hooked to Beat Saber. There are some other titles that I quite liked (I expect you to die, demeo), but they never had other games, to the level of Beat Saber, for me to be really excited with the platform.

why opting for an "home assignment" instead of doing that as part of the interview?

For me it says "unavailable" on all items. Is it the case for everyone? I'm wondering if it's because I'm based in France or if it's sold out.

> direct outreach to key customers

are you talking about b2b?

I don't know what you have in mind. Sounds like you are suggesting companies should start calling me or knocking on my door instead of puting ads on google search results. That doesn't sound great.

I'm a bit confused by the UI. Looks like the test is for windows. Did someone manage to test it for Linux and MacOS as well? (not sure what test we are supposed to use)

Would be nice if it had some springs to have the different parts try to go back to their original position by themselves.

"the French people did not care that they had to sign a paper to get out to walk"

1- Don't you think this is quite political? Like what is your benefit from saying this out of context? If signing this paper and being stricter helped the hospitals not being saturated and saved x thousands lives do you still think it was a bad thing? (I'm not even saying that's the case I'm just saying you don't seem to take that possibility into account at all)

2- From my observations French people -constently- complain about this. So I wouldn't say they didn't care about it. You're doing it right now.
