I do mention cases where the browser model doesn't work, like accessing Lidar sensors. Just didn't want to bloat the post with too many examples. But I totally agree with you on this front: not everything can be done as a PWA.

Fair enough. I've read a bit too much LLM written non-tech posts these year that I'm a bit fatigued. I figured people would just want to know this upfront. Moved it to the bottom now.

The site is already back online after the post. You can check yourself. If I really did have malicious content on the site, this post would have had zero effect on the result.

Oh wow, I didn’t even think of this use case. Could I please get in touch for a bit more info?

Ha, thank you. I spent more time than I'm willing to admit to come up with it.

I use my older, much longer domain for email and identity (it used to be #3 on SERP for "Sid"). This one is just for giggles so I can blog in peace without affecting the main one.

I can't be 100% sure but googling showed nothing. My site was up for almost 6 weeks with no issues. I used the domain for Apple's review process too. No issues at all.

I just wanted to cover all the bases. The site has one outgoing link to the App Store and 3 screenshots.

The domain has no history as far as I could search and the site was up for almost 6 weeks with no issues before it was nuked. I used it with Apple's review process!

To request a formal review, you must be a verified owner in Search Console.

I'm shocked there was no notification, or alert, of any kind. One moment you're there, the next, you're gone and no one will talk to you. Insanity.

The eternal tech outage aphorism: It's always DNS, except for when it's BGP.

The author is the CTO of Zerodha, India’s largest online brokerage. Not that it matters, just an observation.

What is creative about generating an article from a stub? The kernel of the article around which the LLM constructs the content? I'm not trying to be an ass, just curious.

My biggest sorrow right now is the fact that my beloved emdash is a major signal for AI generated content. I've been using it for decades now but these days, I almost always pause for a second.

I'm too poor for Claude Max 20x. Not that it needs that firepower but eh, there's no real way. As I mentioned, almost every single quirk can be willed away with a little bit of attention and effort.

At this point, I'm not sure whether you're a clawdbot running amok..
