It's obviously not something you'd want to happen _passively_ when visiting a web page, but if the alternative is installing an executable / using a package manager / etc., why not? At least the browser is a more secure sandboxed environment for running untrusted code than most peoples' native OS.

The progressive loading of the tile images really goes great with the pixel art style. Nice touch!


It's how we all used to talk on IRC, well before Gen Z came online :)


Yes however I doubt the author was an IRC user. For chats people generay do use lowercase cause it's easier but this article is also about using lowercase outside of chats.


This user I think got it from Tumblr (firmly millennial).

Gen Z I would think default to title case because that’s what smart phones produce when not wrangled.


No they disable auto capitalization explicitly in their keyboards.


That depended on your IRC server of choice.

I grew up on some where you got flamed very quickly if you didn’t clean that up (e.g Espernet).


This exchange seemingly proves the argument that user trust gained from the EV treatment is misplaced, and that the endeavor was a farce all along. It's not as though the user's browser was distinguishing the good CAs from the bad!


I disagree. I specifically said in my original comment they were very useful for those that knew what EV certs were and EV certs weren't.

You may not know that Digicert is a quality CA who wasn't going to risk their position as a CA to sign an EV cert for a typo squatting phishing site pretending to be PayPal but there are those who do. The green UI in chrome & firefox made finding all of this information out incredibly simple and obvious.


> Tailscale for space

Technically the article was about running it not on a sat, but on a dish (something well within the realm of possibility this year if the router firmware on the darn things could be modified at all)


You don't just accept the review as-is, though; You prompt it to be a skeptic and find a handful of specific examples of claims that are worth extra attention from a qualified human.

Unfortunately, this probably results in lazy humans _only_ reading the automated flagged areas critically and neglecting everything else, but hey—at least it might keep a little more garbage out?


It's the same distinction as making a backup copy of a movie to your hard drive vs. redistributing it to other parties.


You mean like free speech for concepts and ideas? It's OK to think them but not to tell other people about them? LLMs are another media of thought exchange, in some ways worse and others better. Of course it's out of bounds from them to produce literal copies of copyrighted work. But as with a human brain it should be OK for artificial neural nets to learn from them and generate new work.


That must be what inspired them to approach San Francisco's Central Subway in a similar fashion!


Surely they meant Writely vs Word


I would think the way humans draw clocks has more in common with image generation models (which probably do a bit better with this task overall) than a language model producing SVG markup, though.
