I genuinely though this was an April fools joke, then remembered we're in May. This is bad.


Does GDPR mandate a payout to the researcher after disclosure?


And also taught people how to actually look for information online. The average person still does not know how to google, I still see people writing whole sentences in the search bar.


This is the "they're holding it wrong" of search engines. People want to use a search engine by querying with complete sentences. If search engines don't support such querying, it's the search engine that is wrong and should be updated, not the people.

Search engines have gotten way better at handling complete sentences in recent years, to the point where I often catch myself deleting my keyword query and replacing it with a sentence before I even submit it, because I know I will be able to more accurately capture what it is I am searching for in a sentence.


Funnily enough, I've shown some people who said they liked using ChatGPT over Google because they can ask questions in natural language, that they can paste the same natural language question to Google's search bar and get their answers just as easily, and with actual sources. That was before search engines started showing "AI summaries", so I guess the demonstration effect wouldn't be the same today.

Natural language search queries have worked surprisingly well for quite a while before that, even.


Interesting, I wanted to do this for a personal use case (mostly learning), but with PDFs. What's tech stack? I have explored using the AWS AI tools, but it seems a bit overkill for what I want it to do.


Here's some code to deal with that:

https://github.com/MittaAI/SlothAI/blob/main/SlothAI/lib/pro...

https://github.com/MittaAI/mitta-community/tree/main/service...

There's code in there that just reads PDF meta data as well, but you can't always guarantee it's there in a PDF.


If the PDFS are textual or have OCR, then pdf2text from the Poppler suite ought to be enough? If not, add Tesseract/ocrmypdf to the pipeline?


Tech stack is a mix of serverless Laravel, with Cloudflare and AWS functions, and some Pinecone for vector storage. Still experimenting on a few things but don't want to over-engineer unless I know where I'm going.


Given that cloudflare spies on traffic and reports to multiple agencies on it's findings, perhaps a breakdown of the chain and the privacy implications of each block in the stack would be beneficial?


Ya know, a downvote on this pre-aug 2019 would be fine.

people still being ignorant about their publicly posted policies 5 years later is annoying.



I really hope that there's a way to integrate the new passwords app into browsers other than Safari. The only reason I'm still with 1Password is because of their Firefox extension for auto fill.


You can already "autofill" Firefox (and other) input fields with keychain data in Sonoma. Its a bit cumbersome, but right click into the field, select "autofill" from the context menu, then either "passwords" or "contacts", search/select/confirm the data to be inserted.


There's a bunch more to "autofilling". 1Password has ability to generate new passwords, save new registrations, autofill MFA codes, and even read QR codes on screen to setup MFA. None of this is possible on Firefox with Keychain.


Wouldn't it be easier to just decide on a UI library to be used for the project and use that instead?


But that would not convey to the user the idea of the interface being a work-in-progress.


You can stick “under construction” animated gif.


Design can distract from the UX and there's a use for very minimal mocks.


We've had 8 IT support cases opened this morning from people who thought their keyboards were broken.


Agreed - I had to ask somebody else in the office to confirm they were seeing the same thing.

You would think this is the sort of thing that Atlassian could catch in test? Pretty fundamental, adding text.


When it comes to Jira, I’m not sure developers are in control at all. It’s a beast with its own will, and it devours itself.


I hope you actually read those articles, because 2 of them are saying Al Jazeera is biased towards Israel - hence why the ban, and not what you are trying to prove.


Obviously that’s what they would say. The whole point of this discussion is that people tend to say things that advance their agenda, or are politically expedient, not because they are the unvarnished truth.


>the Middle-Eastern unit were literally showing videos demanding further uprising against Israel across the region directly from Hamas

I am failing to see how an article about Russia's war correlates to OP's claim about Al Jazeera showing Hamas videos calling for an uprising. Can we get a direct link to the article that the OP mentioned?


For me it was creating “gift card code generator” for games like Habbo Hotel and RuneScape in C# and distribute it among my friends to get into their accounts. 14 year old me was proud of my “hacking” skills.
