Interesting work. Thanks for open sourcing. It would be nice if the "run" script has a bit of documentation, and maybe an "examples" folder the the run script can work with. From what I can see it seems to search the parent directory? I would want for example `./run <dir_with_tests>` to run all tests my specified project repo.

I was drawn to the Wolfram logo blurb as well. It is funny because within days of ChatGPT making waves you had Stephen Wolfram writing 20,000-word blog posts about how LLM's could benefit from a Wolfram-Language/Wolfram Alpha API call to augment their capabilities.
On one hand I'm sure he will love to see people use their paid Wolfram Language server endpoints coupled to OpenAI's latest juggernaut. On the other, I'm sure he's wondering about what things would have looked like if his company would have been focused on this wave of AI from the start...
This too is one of the most interesting integration to me. Allows for getting logical deduction from an external source (e.g. wolfram alpha), which can be interacted with via the natural language interface. (e.g. https://content.wolfram.com/uploads/sites/43/2023/03/sw03242...)
For those interested the original Stephen Wolfram post:

Surprised they did not include a citation for this research...
It seems they link to a discussion page [1], which references this document (I can't find a published version):

The key word here is maintenance.
Most things you own you also maintain yourself. It doesn’t hold true for software. People expect software to work for some time.. On their new device, after the OS update. Bugs need to be removed, new features built.
You can and will fix your car. You will maintain it too. And you will happily pay for it. Same with the house you own. You might even renovate it, add a new level.
It is not possible to own and maintain software that way.
I think this isn't the case for many open source projects I use. The reason I'm drawn to OSS is for the ability to be able to fix it down the line by myself. This also allows me to possibly contribute back those improvements so others can leverage them.
I recently saw this great plugin for OBS which uses Google Speech Recognition api to stream captions to twitch along with your video. Not sure about the quality or delay.

My version, better alignment, grayscaled icons, eliminates duplicates on navigation:
// ==UserScript==
// @name hacker news favicons
// @match https://news.ycombinator.com/*
// ==/UserScript==
for (let link of document.querySelectorAll('.titlelink')) {
if (link.attributes["hasIcon"] != 'true') {
const domain = new URL(link.href).hostname
const imageUrl = `https://icons.duckduckgo.com/ip3/${domain}.ico`
const image = document.createElement('img')
link.attributes["hasIcon"] = 'true'
image.src = imageUrl
image.width = 16
image.height = 16
image.style.paddingRight = '0.50em'
image.style.paddingLeft = '0.50em'
image.style.verticalAlign = 'middle';
image.style.filter = 'grayscale(1)';
link.prepend(image)
}
}This had the cross origin issue for me. After combining with an above post that uses GM.addElement this looks really nice. Grayscale is the way to go to prevent the site from being more addictive than it needs to be.

It would really help if the author had a list of "features" on the github project. It is a bit difficult to figure out what exact functionality the project supports.

You should open-source it anyways, which will help adoption a lot, and ease people past things like this:
"* The notice you see about having access to your history and website data is automatically generated because this extension runs on every tab. But it does NOT actually monitor your browsing history or require your personal information to work properly."
The world is correctly nervous about extensions that run on every page.
I agree with this. What happens when I got to my bank with this extension? I would rather have either what another commenter suggested (a bookmark) or be able to see the source. I assume they use the "activeTab" permission to give temporary access to the current tab?
From a quick look, it seems to just request access to all pages? I am not sure if chrome really has a elegant way to handle per-website requests (as compared to per-tab).

My thought is why don't the authors use github pages to host their static site with their links to a dedicated server with an unmetered link since their whole project is CC0. Downloading assets doesn't need to be low latency, thus I don't think the caching spatially near the user is important. Having a user login for patreon is something that would be missing and require some more thought I admit.
I think quite a lot of other people have mentioned in the thread that they are getting a lot of other "benefits" from using multiple services, but I don't see how these help solve the problem of data delivery besides taking advantage of the Cloudflare + Backblaze alliance which is $31 if their main website is a static one.

This is a great write up and was really interesting to read.
My question is why would the proposed changes are not already included upstream?
Isn't a faster boot what everybody wants?
