I’ll have one zoom sideways to the left, please!

Mr. Satan@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Mozilla is shutting down Pocket, their read-it-later and content discovery app, and Fakespot, their browser extension that analyzes the authenticity of online product reviews.English1·2 months agoThis is supported, but not integrated in bookmark lookup. I mean, if you hit ctrl+s, the browser will save currently rendered HTML. No crawling required. Hooking up some text indexing for search seems perfectly doable.
Mr. Satan@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Mozilla is shutting down Pocket, their read-it-later and content discovery app, and Fakespot, their browser extension that analyzes the authenticity of online product reviews.English2·2 months agoThis would be a whole new pipeline to make interactivity work. Emulating a server with cached responses would allow to reuse the JS part of websites and is easier to do. I have no doubt that some pages wouldn’t work and there would be a shitton of security considerations I can’t imagine.
Mr. Satan@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Mozilla is shutting down Pocket, their read-it-later and content discovery app, and Fakespot, their browser extension that analyzes the authenticity of online product reviews.English2·2 months agoThis “machine state” definition and manipulation is exactly the hard part of the concept. I’m not saying it can’t be done, but it’s a beast of a problem.
Our best current solutions are just dumb web crawler bots.
To me a simple page saving (ctrl+s) integration seems like a most realistic solution.
Mr. Satan@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Mozilla is shutting down Pocket, their read-it-later and content discovery app, and Fakespot, their browser extension that analyzes the authenticity of online product reviews.English2·2 months agoOk, so your average site doesn’t download content directly. The initial load is just the framework required to fetch and render the content dynamically.
Short of just crawling the whole site, there is no real way to know what, when or why a thing is loaded into memory.
You can’t even be sure that some pages will stay the same after every single refresh.Comparing it to saving the state of OS isn’t fair because the state is in one place. On the machine running the code. The difference here is that the state of the website is not in control of the browser and there’s no standard way to access it in a way that would allow what you’re describing.
Now, again, saving rendered HTML is trivial, but saving the whole state of a dynamic website require a full on web crawler and then not only loading saved pages and scripts, but also emulating the servers to fetch the data rendered.

Static pages – sure, the plague of single page applications – oof, that’s a challenge.
Mr. Satan@lemm.eeto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•My password is not accepted because it is too longEnglish2·2 months agoMost likely it’s just a validation not related to actual storage of the information.
It’s something that can happen automagically when using a library. I wouldn’t be too surprised if this length limitation is just a default of whatever registration solution they are using.

With this in mind.
Who cares!? It’s neither good nor bad. It’s like the thing with playback line color. Yes, it’s different, no, I didn’t notice until some pointed it out, no, I couldn’t care less.
Mr. Satan@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Anthropic has developed an AI 'brain scanner' to understand how LLMs work and it turns out the reason why chatbots are terrible at simple math and hallucinate is weirder than you thoughtEnglish2·3 months agoNo it doesn’t, multiplication and division always take precedence over addition and subtraction. You’d need parentheses to clarify what is in the divisor since that can be ambiguous with line notation.

So yeah, in my mind it’s an easier comuptation.
That being said having a result of a little over a 1000 gives me an estimate for the magnitude of a number – it’s around a thousand. It might be more or less but it’s not far from there.

That’s what I do in my head if I need an exact result. If I’m approximateing I’ll probably just do something like 70 * 15 which is much easier to compute (70 * 10 + 70 * 5 = 700 + 350 = 1050).
Me, the dev: “Nobody reported this as a problem… Ok, don’t care, moving on.” Also, if I can’t reproduce it, I can’t fix it, no point in wasting time more than that.
Did I write this?
