Exposing Chrome CDP is a terrible idea from a security and privacy perspective. You get the keys to the whole kingdom (and expose them on a standard port with a well documented API). All security features of the web can be bypassed, and then some, as CDP exposes even more capabilities than chrome extensions and without any form of supervision.

You're talking about exposing Chrome CDP to the wider internet, right? Or are you highlighting these dangers in the local context?

Reminds me of Intellectual Venture's Optical Fence developed to track and kill mosquitoes with short laser pulses.

As a side-effect of the precision needed to spatially locate the mosquitoes, they could detect different wing beat frequencies that allowed target discrimination by sex and species.

Where can I buy one?

There was never a time that you as individual couldn’t use an ftp client back in the day and download a free version of Netscape.

So who would buy “Chrome” when they can get Chromium for free and fork it?

redblacktree · 10 months ago

I am confused by this comment too. I don't recall ever being asked to pay for Netscape. (not that I would have, at 12ish)

"If you were dreaming in Minecraft" is the impression that I get. It feels very much like a dream with the lack of object permanence. Also interesting is light level. If you stare at something dark for a while or go "underwater" and get to the point where the screen is black, it's difficult to get back to anything but a black screen. (I didn't manage it in my one playthrough)

Very odd sensation indeed.

Does something similar exist for LLM/GPT?

Edit to add: I'm mostly interested in this aspect:

The cynic in me is certain that inflation, among other things, is a tool for lowering peoples' wages. Not in numbers, but in value.

Even if it isn't designed this way, it's a welcome benefit to many.

Nice article, enjoyed reading it. I’m Pier, co founder of https://Databoutique.com, which is a marketplace for web scraped data. If you’re willing to monetize your data extractions, you can list them on our website. We just started with the grocery industry and it would be great to have you on board.

Do you have data on which data is in higher demand? Do you keep a list of frequently-requested datasets?

That's not how tax brackets work, but it is a common misconception. If you salary goes up, your take-home goes up, full stop.

If you are making $191,950/year (the very top end of the 24% bracket for 2024) you will pay $39,110.50 in federal income tax, (before any deductions) for a net of $152,839.50. (You may notice that this is less than 24%) If you make an additional $1,000/year: $192,950, only the additional $1,000 is taxed at the 32% rate. Which makes your total federal income tax bill $320 more, and improving your net take-home to $153,519.50

Edit to add: I'm disappointed that sibling comments to mine are so degrading. We all had to learn this at some point.

I think you can just ask your doctor for them? Why would someone deny you your own medical records?

redblacktree · a year ago

I wasn't thinking that it would be denied. My curiosity was more with respect to how easy or difficult it is to request them.
