Best I can see the experimental "AI Innovations" features "Console Insights" and "AI Assistance" are completly opt-in.

That’s my understanding as well, that it’s opt-in. That brings me little comfort.

I actually love the idea of embedded LLM help. I just wish Google used on-device compute with small models.

The idea that the browser will be used to farm data that’s not on the public internet is reprehensible to me, consent notwithstanding.

When I hire a junior engineer do I have to teach them about Google’s dark patterns so they don’t unwittingly upload our intellectual property?

Secretly hoping to take advantage of Cunningham's Law?

Well, yes actually.

Except unfortunatly, I think I'm right.

i.e. Web apps can’t poll at 1000Hz or even 240.

bhouser · 2 years ago

Is this an intentional browser API concession due to some polling limit? I don't see the connection?

Touch events per se are not supported in Safari as far as know.

bhouser · 2 years ago

Interesting, didn't know that! Wonder why they don't.

My issue here is with wheel events. They look identical for trackpads and mice, so I can't code for different behaviour.

I'm actually hoping I'm wrong about the inability to reliably distinguish between trackpad and mousewheel wheel events.

Doesn't this violate anti-discrimination laws? It seems like this discriminates against US citizens (discrimination by national origin).

bhouser · 3 years ago

How is it discrimination if they set the termination date for ALL employees to March 1, 2023?

He's a "free speech for Elon" absolutist. I've never seen him defend the right of anyone to say something he didn't like on principle.

Here's a much more salient example: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1499976967105433600

Musk is clearly pro-Ukraine, but apparently refused to block Russian news sources on Starlink when asked to.
