Smart! I’ve been working with contenteditable for 3 years. You found a great shortcut!

I feel exactly the same as the OP and went on a long journey to build something better. 5 versions and many years later I think have something. It's remarkably similar to a text editor.
I just kept peeling back to that because for each product I tried to build I still ended up reverting back to a big ass text file to manage my building of my product!
Only the current version is the one I have been able to stick with. It starts with text editor as the foundation and then adds features (that are hidden) on top of that.
Hoping to release to some friends in Sep.
> “It is difficult to find the motivation to keep applying,” said Mr. Taylor, adding that he was now building personal software projects to show prospective employers.
I know it's common advice for students and newly grads to do this, but in my experience, employers do not care about personal software projects or open-source contributions unless the work is aligned with their product. That, or you built something that is easily lucrative. Otherwise, they do not care, they do not care, they do not care.
If your goal is personal enrichment, by all means, but don't kill yourself on a personal project with the intention of impressing an employer.
As an employer I have to say I care about it, a lot. But obv can't speak for everyone.
It's also worth considering that past some threshold, it may be very difficult for us as users to discern which model is better. I don't think thats what's going on here, but we should be ready for it. For example, if you are an ELO 1000 chess player would you yourself be able to tell if Magnus Carlson or another grandmaster were better by playing them individually? To the extent that our AGI/SI metrics are based on human judgement the cluster effect that they create may be an illusion.
I think Musk puts it well when he says the ultimate test is can they help improve the real world.

They say they have good results?
>> there is no way to write a appealing website without Javascript.
This has always made me wonder if anybody really builds anything from scratch any more. With so many frameworks, even for basic static sites, I wonder who's out there writing HTML, CSS and JS from scratch.
Or is something that has been regulated to the dustbin of history?
I’m building a Google docs style platform from scratch. No js html css libs of any kind. (But also, not canvas, it does use contenteditable)

This is an insane story and extra interesting that the black/white hat hacker is exposing everything they did.

> I asked ChatGPT to write an angry tweet thread blasting journalists for not contacting us, and pinned this to the top of the profile. Then, I set about gathering all the existing coverage about TVS, and finding the articles’ authors on Twitter to the best of my ability, and then individually tagging them to blast them for not contacting us. This is an example of social engineering, and something I’ve seen from other red teaming efforts and my own projects, that humans are usually the weakest link in any technological system, and often quite easily fooled.
Wild that it's possible to take over an internet identity at the start of their notoriety.

What I mean is that a 70% score is meaningless to me. I need to know the movie genre, the audience score, the age of the movie and then I basically do a “lookup table” in my head. And I have that lookup table because I’ve looked up every movie I’ve watched on RT for 15 years so I know how the scores correlate to my own personal opinions.
As an example: the author said that critic scores should align with audience scores but no that’s not true at all. Critics tend to care more about plot continuity, plot depth and details while the audience tends to care about enjoyability. Both are important to me so I always look at both scores. That’s why a lot of very funny comedies have a 60-69% critic score but a 90%-100% audience score — because it’s hilarious but the plot makes no fucking sense and has a million holes. And if you see a comedy with 95% critic but 70% audience, it will be thought-provoking and well done but don’t expect more than occasional chuckles.
Additionally, I think someone could build an interesting RT browser based on these kinds of insights.
