It's absolutely hilarious that someone would think that this passes for API docs nowdays. Still it's good to know what to avoid on the very first glance.

It's also a bit of a "bootstrapping" issue. How does anyone expect the AIs to learn to do things correctly if the instructions are not published for them to pick up during training?

This is like those "contact your system admin" error messages. I am the system admin!


I think it's good. Quite frankly, it's the better experience to be given the right prompts to onboard into something than having to guess that the inputs are the right for the LLM.

If someone is writing authentication code and they think it's smart to outsource that to spicy autocomplete, the only "prompt" they need is:

"Hey chat bot friendo, where's the nearest hand-written 'help wanted' sign in the door of a coffee shop? I need a new career path"


yeah, I'll try htmx if he will maintain the resulting pile of goo lol

It could safely be used on public internet, all this fearmongering has no basis under it.

Better question is 'does it have any actual improvements in day-to-day operations'? Because it seems like it mostly changes up some ciphering which is already very fast.


> It could safely be used on public internet, all this fearmongering has no basis under it.

On what basis are making that claim? Because AFAICT, concern about it being less secure is entirely reasonable and is one of the big caveats to it.


Concern about it being less secure is fully justified. I'm the lead developer and have been for the past 20 years. I'm happy to answer any questions you might happen to have.

I'm not fear mongering. I'm just saying

- IF you don't trust it

- AND you want to use it

=> run it on a private network

You don't have to trust it for security to use it. Putting services on secure networks when the public doesn't need access is standard practice.


I remember the last time I really cared to look into this was in the 2000’s, I had these wdtv embedded boxes that had a super anemic cpu that doing local copies with scp was slow as hell from the cipher overhead. I believe at the time it was possible to disable ciphers in scp but it was still slower than smbfs. NFS was to be avoided as wifi was shit then and losing connection meant risking system locking up. This of course was local LAN so I did not really care about encryption.

But I don’t miss having those limitations.


It's still possible but we only suggest doing it on private known secure networks or when it's data you don't care about. Authentication is still fully encrypted - we just rekey post authentication with a null cipher.

SmartGit can do that too

git-gui can do that too

For all the others, that is the built-in GUI.

tig can do that too

At least we can gather and post an actual solution in the top comment.

> Buy a cheap smart TV

Why does it have to be cheap? What if I want a killer panel without all the bs?

> Use a small "air mouse" for control

An alternative is something like 'unified remote' on it, then you can even type from your phone without any pain.

> A browser with VPN for streaming in some cases.

There is a missing piece for me here. A magic 'send my PC browser tab to this other PC connected to the TV' button. Not sure if something like this exists. It would be ideal to send all the browser context with cookies etc so that you are logged in too and can just start playing whatever you found on PC.

Any for of cast is not an option, rendering has to happen on the TV PC box.


Why does it have to be cheap?

It doesn't have to be --- but you may be wasting your money if you run in "store mode".

As noted above, "store mode" will usually max out the brightness, saturation and contrast while removing user control. This looks pretty "normal" with cheaper models. More expensive ones can become overbearing.

It appears to me that in some cases, the difference between cheap and more expensive is mainly the color adjustments.

In order to take advantage of economies of scale, they may use the exact same screen panel on multiple different models but limit the cheaper ones in software so it doesn't look as "bright" and "eye catching" in the store as their more expensive "killer" model.

Chromecast does exactly this and has existed since ~2010.


> A magic 'send my PC browser tab to this other PC connected to the TV' button

You can send a tab to another device on Firefox. It doesn't come with all the browser context, but it's pretty handy.


>There is a missing piece for me here. A magic 'send my PC browser tab to this other PC connected to the TV' button.

I use an NVIDIA shield on a dumb TV with firefox sideloaded (ad blockers, ect) for 95% of my streaming. You can import your cookies or other preferences or simply browse for content directly.


this can be fixed by just using random ssh port

all my services are always exposed for convenience but never on a standard port (except http)


It reduces the noise, yes, but doesn't stop a determined attacker.

After managing a fleet for a long time, I'd never do that. Tailscale or any other VPN is mandatory for me to be able to access "login" ports.


Most importantly it would actually reveal the lie they are all trying to sell. Why would you need backups if it's so useful and stable? I'm not going to ask it to nuke my hard drive after all.


The advice to do backups comes from well before LLMs. Time Machine dates back to 2007!


Perhaps you'd be interested in learning that you can initiate chats to phone numbers (regardless of contact status) by going to wa.me/<phone-number>

I've never tested it without contacts permissions though.


They broke that just several weeks ago, at least for me.


Same for me, has been broken for about 4 weeks.


You can send the phone number to yourself in chat and then click it to open it for chat.


Yandex is as entrenched in Russia as anyone could be. It's quickly becoming the state's goto IT company with products for all aspects of everyday life (many of them in leading market positions). It's the 'everything' company in there that is fully controlled by the state China-style.
