Not the same. What email client you chose doesn't fundamentally change how you wrote the email, or require any additional context that people reading the email should keep in mind. AI codegen does. It should be disclosed, and co-authored-by is good convention for doing so.
LLMs are better than slow human support of any kind for debugging / helpdesk work (which was never that welcome at SO anyway).
Stack Overflow is still great for canonical questions, multiple answers, public / SEO'd discussion between humans, etc.
But that probably isn't enough to save the company as a private equity acquisition hoping to 100x their $1.8 billion investment.
Hopefully the classic Q/A site eventually gets written off and spins into a Wikimedia-like foundation that is interested in preserving the original Q/A site and has no desire to grow or become something else.
The current owners have sure been trying to turn it into one with half-assed "features" like open ended questions and the thankfully killed off (for now) beta redesign.
A forum records free-form conversations between specific people, where every post can be edited at most by its original author (if even that). SE sites are libraries of questions that may be generalized beyond the original author's circumstances, and if someone's post does not fit the rigid Q&A form, it may be moderated away.
> Our goal was to build an app worthy of an Apple Design Award [...] After weeks of experimentation, we landed on React Native with Expo to achieve this.
Balatro and a number of other games have. But react-native? I can't think of an example and the framework wouldn't be my choice for "award winning" design.
Watch Duty won with a Cordova app in the "Social Impact" category, so it's not impossible.
The extension I've always wanted is a one that makes every link to a modern story on the New York Times, CNN, ESPN, etc. load using their same websites from like 2004.
I tried "Make this page look like the 2004 version of CNN" and it did update the theming to be older but it didn't have the true reference, so it just made up the old style.
We don't currently have a way to provide a reference during generation, but if I were you, I'd personally try downloading the old page archive and a new page archive, throw them both in codex/claude code as context and see what it can come up with. Wouldn't be surprised if it could do a decent job writing a converter.
Somewhat tangential: I have had luck with more generic retheming, e.g. "Turn Google into a 1970s era CLI " (https://www.tweeks.io/share/script/8c8c0953f6984163922c4da7) or "Turn LinkedIn into a 90s era Neocities site" These aren't the most useful, but they are fun!
Does Anna's Archive or a similar site host, say, the complete New York Times (pre-1930) as a full PDF download set? And every other newspaper too?
Tons of public domain sources are locked into websites like Newspapers.com or the nearly-dead and now completely unsearchable old Google News / Newspaper.
It would be nice if the massive pursuit of AI training data resulted in some fully-legal open source alternatives to these proprietary, outdated, or abandoned sites. I know some of it is available via the Internet Archive, etc., but something new with an AI-powered search and finding aid sounds so useful.
I imagine it's possible to achieve this through torrents from Anna's, but you'd have to search and compile the list of all individual PDFs.
> something new with an AI-powered search
With enough time and willingness, someone could put all the old NYT issues through optical character recognition and convert them to text; then make it available to large language models for semantic search of some kind. Ideally public cultural funds could support the effort as academic research.
It just feels like the complete public domain New York Times should be a big deal. Why is it only available via individual issues in the Internet archive? Why hasn't every single story been cut out individually, fully OCR'd, so that it shows up as a top hit on Google? And do that for every public domain newspaper around the country, too.
Maybe the TikTok algorithm is better, but the "I don't like this" action on Meta properties just blatantly does not work. I still get the same type of clickbait content no matter how many times I try to get rid of it. Maybe watching other types of Reels would do it, but no thanks.
on facebook, yes, for many stupid reasons. It doesn't have a "I don't like this" function on most stuff. and there are no controls for stopping "non friend" content injection in the feed.
In instagram, its very different.
First there is "snooze suggested content" which gives you a pure follow feed.
However once you reach the end of that and go into the "for you" feed, which has one "personality". Then there is the explore page, which has another "personality"
The new reels carousel stuff I think is possibly another personality.
So there are now three places where you need to yeet stuff you don't like.
I noticed that when the reels carousel was introduced they went heavy into thirst traps.
But again, this is a regulation issue. If this was the 1980s, there would be a moral panic causing something like the v-chip to stop "the youth" getting access to soft porn (not that it worked that well) Now it'll be a executive fatwa, which'll be reversed when he gets distracted by something else.
