Like it or not, people expect significant AI-use to be disclosed. When only human is credited, they feel cheated.

Excellent use of AI? Disclose it and avoid the fuss.


Do you disclose the use of a typewriter? Or word processor app with auto-complete and spelling/usage checkers?

> You sit on chairs everyday where you don't give a shit how they were created.

I am dumb on chair making, as the average chair user. I wouldn't trust myself building a commercial-grade chair.

If you are as dumb with software as I am with chair making, you should refrain from building software for others. This is regardless of LLM.


> tyranny

Previous comment was about people trying to watch football paying a few euros to shady business, who knows where that money lands, rather than the official offer from people who spent a lot to get the rights to broadcast.

I really don't like the implementation but I wouldn't call that tyranny. Blocking archive is much more concerning.


It's worth considering that the Spanish football league has successfully lobbied to implement widespread Cloudflare IP blocks during matches that affect websites totally unrelated to football (or to any kind of piracy). I don't watch football at all, but when there are matches I often find my normal work or home browsing activity disrupted by the blocks and have to turn on the VPN.

Considering this, I strongly believe that the ethical way to watch football in Spain is piracy. People who watch it legally are funding a mafia-like organization that harms society.


There is no ethical way to watch football. It's always funding a (or multiple) mafia-like organization.

Authorities tried to work with that provider but it required a process that doesn't scale to live events. They do not want to preemptively disallow abuses on their platform. If you leverage their shared IPs to expose your service, your traffic cannot be distinguished from abuses by traffic filtering solutions. I think they provide BYOIP, if you think your service is important enough to justify not being mixed with non-legit things. Or you can rework your architecture, this provider is not the full web.

Don't get me wrong, I don't like it and would vote against IP-filtering if I was asked that specific question. I don't consider it tyrannical. Criteria for blocking IPs is clear and limited, even if blocking IPs is dumb. VPN are allowed.


Oh no! They won't implement censorship without a court decision? How tragic!

Blocking illegal football streaming is not censorship.

Of course it's censorship. It's the government blocking certain content from the internet, without a trial. How do you define censorship?

By this logic removing CSAM also is censorship. This definition of censorship is valid but it doesn't convey much moral value. Removing some content, even without a trial, can be a good thing.

Yes it's censorship.

> Blocking archive is much more concerning.

Yes. That is an example of the tyranny I speak of.


It's escalated to tyranny - blocking half the internet - in an alleged attempt to block petty football piracy. If your country installed cameras everywhere to "deter kidnapping" wouldn't you feel that was tyrannical?

Are you seriously putting Balzac and Spiderman on the same level to try to ridicule thoughts?

Ad hominem.


They are both quotes that people say things like "they say" to imply someone of import said it to give it credence and truth to it but were in fact from fictional sources.

Exact same pattern - take it as an ad hominem all you want.


> How do you test and monitor outbound access against program that adapts itself to get around things?

Literally what the industry has been doing since public networking is a thing. Adapt yourself.


Many links are available in the article, including one to theverge.

It could be limited to specific batch(es).


So in other words, they're not withdrawing the toothbrush from sale.


It has been removed from their website and Amazon listings, and at least some specific retailers in France are also withdrawing it from sale.


Borrowing the work of others to replace them without crediting is the model of current AI companies.

They just used that occurrence as a PR stunt but it isn't worse than the others done at scale every second.


With an on premise device, the game is already lost. They may plant a separate mic device inside the TV, or elsewhere. Rooted TV doesn't really impact BnB security model.


It is a problem and plays a role, then the rest of the SPA interactions are as bad. Amplified by 100+ third party scripts.

Stop building SPA, go back to HTML. Re-assess every third party. For extra performance and scaling, implement cache. Relax and see web experience healing.


There's definitely trade-offs. I actually prefer a proper SPA to pure HTML when on a slow connection and interacting with a site a lot.

Especially when trying to buy something. I much prefer to have a longer initial load and then have everything just work instead of waiting as I navigate between pages, the multi stage checkout, confirmation etc.

But yeah, if I'm just trying read a single article on a blog, preloading everything is pointless. A hybrid site with the initial page being server side rendered + progressive enhancement afterwards is theoretically optimal in my opinion.


These people definitely have an overly rosy view of the past. The sites that are dog slow shit ux now still would be with server rendered html and jquery spaghetti, just like they were in the past.

Ever submit some giant form to get some random error and then lose the entire state of it? Used to be extremely common, even though it shouldn’t have been.


Losing the entire state happens on SPA. Plus a random error not providing any feedback is a typical SPA experience. You can poorly execute on any technology. It's just much easier to do things wrong using this-year-trendy-SPA-framework.

Use the appropriate technology, everything doesn't have to be a SPA.


And yet it used to be much more common. SPA or not doesn't change how your team executes, what kind of management you're working under, or any other externality that makes you end up with a shit website.


Yet you can look at RUM data (http archive tech report or other) and start noticing it's not just management.


You typically still have to wait for API calls between interactions, but error handling and number of requests (linked to experience on slow connection) tend to be worse.

If that's a connection-less interaction or something small that stays on the same page, sure it makes sense to keep it in the browser. You don't need to build your whole site as a bloated SPA just for few limited use-cases.
