This has more options than typical online typing speed tests, but I'm not sure I'd say it's more "fun" or "immersive".

It has less options than Monkeytype, which is the "state of the art" online typing test.

> but I'm not sure I'd say it's more "fun" or "immersive"

What do you mean? Obviously, it has an "immerse" button which opens the site in fullscreen!

This just seems like Monkeytype but with less options and a lot of AI-generated images (which shows that this is also potentially vibecoded)

I actually loathe those progress trackers. They break emacs shell (looking at you expo and eas).

Why not print a simple counter like: ..10%..20%..30%

Or just: Uploading…

Terminal codes should be for TUI or interactive-only usage.

I feel like not properly supporting widely used escape codes is an issue with the shell, not with the program that uses them

Do I also have to disclose using tab completion? My IDE uses machine learning for completion suggestions.

Do I need to disclose that I wrote a script to generate some annoying boilerplate? Or that my IDE automatically templates for loops?

No, it explicitly says that you don't need to disclose tab completion.
flexagoon commented on How we exploited CodeRabbit: From simple PR to RCE and write access on 1M repos   research.kudelskisecurity... · Posted by u/spiridow

The exploit depends on changing the config to execute a .rb file. And the config was supplied by a PR.
flexagoon · 13 days ago
Yes, but the exploit grants you access to ALL repos, not just the one the PR is in. You could just as well change the config in your own private repo and run coderabbit in it.

I like the idea of repeating the delimiter on every line. However `//` looks like a comment to me. I could simply choose double quote:

    const still_raw =
        "const raw =
        "    "Roses are red
        "    "  Violets are blue,
        "    "Sugar is sweet
        "    "  And so are you.
        "    "
        ";
        "
    ;
This cannot be confused with a string literal because a string literal cannot contain newline feeds.

flexagoon · 22 days ago
What if you have something like

    const raw =
        "He said "Hello"
        "to me
    ;
Wouldn't that be a mess to parse? How would you know that "He said " is not a string literal and that you have to continue parsing it as a multiline string? How would you distinguish an unclosed string literal from a multiline string?

My particular interest is in screw cutting lathes, and it appears that the Wikipedia entry[1] (on which this seems to be based) was off by about 25 years (1775 instead of 1800), and thus copied to this work. I've let the folks at Wikipedia know.

What "folks at Wikipedia"? Can't you just edit the date yourself?

Is there any value in using XML elements to guide the model instead of simple text (e.g., "Recommendation criteria:")?
flexagoon · 25 days ago
XML tags generally help models understand prompts better. That's how most official system prompts are written and what the Anthropic prompting guide says.

I tried googling this and found questions from Telegram users why voice messages recognition sometimes produces this phrase and who is this person. Also I found this thread [1] claiming that the subtitles by DimaTorzok are coming from some Russian youtube videos on gaming like [2].

flexagoon · a month ago
Yeah, I know about this from Telegram, because they use Whisper for voice message recognition. There are a bunch of other artifacts it often produces.

In Russian it often hallucinates "Субтитры сделал DimaTorzok" ("Subtitles by DimaTorzok") at the end of things. Interestingly, I wasn't able to find any YouTube videos with that name in the subtitles, so it's not like it's in a lot of training data.
