So I don't think a pilot can just "forget" to deploy the landing gear in a commercial airliner.

1. SingleFile allows me to save a an HTML file that looks exactly like the webpage I saved. I never used a save-to-PDF functionality in any browser that allowed me to save a PDF that looks exactly like the webpage I was saving/printing. I wish browsers implement that, somebody did that once, they patched chromium to save a web page as SVG[1], AFAIK if you can save to SVG you can also save to PDF with not much modification to the code, unfortunately the fork is not maintained anymore.

2. The HTML files that SingleFile creates are responsive (just like the webpage you had open), PDF is not responsive. I like that because it makes it easier to read the webpage I saved on my phone later, with a PDF file you saved on your desktop, you have to pinch to zoom and pan while you read it on your phone.

3. HTML-files/Webpages are accessible to screen readers and my browser's extensions work on them, extensions don't work on PDF files (they _can_ work on HTML files opened from disk, if you allow/enable it in the extension's settings).

You click the "browser action" icon/button of the extension and it saves a single HTML file that looks exactly like the webpage you have open.

From its FAQ[1] on GitHub:

  # What does SingleFile do?
  SingleFile is a browser extension designed to help users save web pages as complete, self-contained files. The extension's primary function is to capture an entire web page, including its HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, and other resources, and package them into a single HTML file.

  # I am a web archivist, is it ok to use SingleFile to archive content?
  No, SingleFile is not a tool used by professionals to archive content on the Web, especially in the academic field. Professionals prefer to rely on tools based on the WARC specification instead.

  > Our goal is to build a reimplementation of SQLite from scratch, fully compatible at the language and file format level, with the same or higher reliability SQLite is known for, but with full memory safety and on a new, modern architecture.

It's still impressive to me how it twice kept track between occlusions, but strange how it lost track when it wasn't occluded.

Using the Window.js approach of embedding V8, instead of using a windowing library + a Skia Canvas library in Node.js ─really makes sense if you would like to keep the binary size minimally small and only pay for the libraries/modules you actually pull in and use, instead of having them statically linked in the binary by default. For example, an offline app/game that doesn't use the network doesn't need to have a "net" or "http" module in the binary. These may be bad examples though, I don't know how much do those Node runtime modules constitute out of the final Node binary, it may be an insignificant fraction.

> but also embeds v8 for a very small runtime instead of using Node.

By how much does embedding just V8 instead of using Node.js decrease the binary size? Node.js uses V8, does most of Node's binary size come from its runtime and not V8?

I tried browsing the website and GitHub repo to find how many kBs or MBs typically is a Window.js binary, but didn't find an answer.

But why is being installed by default important?

Here's the usage example from the README:

  from leopards import Q
  l = [{"name":"John","age":"16"}, {"name":"Mike","age":"19"},{"name":"Sarah","age":"21"}]
  filtered= Q(l,{'name__contains':"k", "age__lt":20})
  print(list(filtered))

  [x for x in l if ('k' in x['name'] and int(x['age']) < 20)]

  [{'name': 'Mike', 'age': '19'}]

  > Even though, age was str in the dict, as the value of in the query dict was int, Leopards converted the value in dict automatically to match the query data type. This behaviour can be stopped by passing False to convert_types parameter.

I edited my reply too.

Edit: I'd caution against spamming the maintainers though (not caution you specifically), the possibility of that happening is what swayed me to not post the link originally.

Shouldn't they have used simple text replacement? they can buffer the streaming response on the server and then .replace(/claude/gi, "Llama").replace(/anthropic/gi, "Meta") on the streaming response while streaming it to the client.

Edit: I realized this can be defeated, even when combined with the system prompt censoring approach.

For example when given a prompt like this: tell me a story about a man named Claude...

It would respond with: once upon a time there was a man called Llama...

They say "LLMs are trained on the web", are the web pages converted from HTML into markdown before being fed into training?

It's really the better (Neo)?vim extension in my opinion, but it has a lot less installs than the other popular extension, called just "Vim" (6.656M installs vs. 400K installs) that extension AFAIK actually emulates Vim in JavaScript, I used it for about a year in 2018, before the other extension "VSCode Neovim" was released in 2019 and remember not having a good experience using it then (to compare, the extension "Vim" was released in Nov. 2015).

Piccolo looks amazing, I got a perfect use case for it, and I'm excited for when I get the chance to use it, thank you for working on it.
