In-reply-to » 'How Good Is ChatGPT at Coding, Really?' IEEE Spectrum (the IEEE's official publication) asks the question. "How does an AI code generator compare to a human programmer?"

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net ChatGPT’s success rate for me is about what I expect:

ChatGPT has an extremely broad range of success when it comes to producing functional code — with a success rate ranging from anywhere as poor as 0.66 percent and as good as 89 percent

In-reply-to » it works fine if you properly escape your urls!

@bender@twtxt.net I think @xuu ’s point is that somehow the URL(s) are wrong in the first place? I went to the Wikipedia page, and copied the URL out of the browser to link to here – Let’s see 👈 Already as I’m typing this I see a problem :/ [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tories_(British_political_party))

I just blocked the following ASN(s) from being able to hit twtxt.net or mills.io:

16509 - AMAZON-02
32934 - FACEBOOK

Why? Because the Claude Bot web crawler from facebookexternalhit and Meta’s facebookexternalhit web crawler are both behaving badly for pages that have no cache headers. Not sure if this is malicious, an oversight, a bug or me just being stupid and not ensuring every web resource or page had appropriate Cache headers? 🤔 In any case, until I hear back from at least facebookexternalhit (whom I’ve reached out to), these ASN(s) will remain entirely blocked.

That is the entirety of Amazon Web Services and Facebook.

In-reply-to » I don't remember who was looking for a way to block A.I bots/scrappers. But here's an article by Cloudflare "Declare your AIndependence: block AI bots, scrapers and crawlers with a single click" offering a way to do so even for the ones spoofing their User-Agent and such.

So basically it seems that Cloudflare has enough data that they can do machine learning to figure out whether the traffic behavior and patterns of bots even ones that fake their identity are really bots or not right?

In-reply-to » @prologic have you seeing this? https://www.sjoerdlangkemper.nl/2024/06/26/htmx-content-security-policy/

@bender@twtxt.net No but reading a bit of that post:

Because dynamic behavior is added to the page using normal HTML tags with custom attributes, it is difficult to provide additional security against cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

Is complete bullshit. It’s like one line of code (if you can call HTML “code”)

In-reply-to » How have I missed Linux’s landlock? 🤔 Maybe we’ll get something like OpenBSD’s pledge/unveil some day. For now, landlock appears to be more complicated, but we’ll see how it goes. Gotta play with this some time. 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Don’t we already have containers though? Linux cgroups alert find toy a level of isolation that is already pretty starting?

In-reply-to » Another day, another web app built 😅 This time tubeproxy, which still needs some tidying up project-wise (bugger all docs, setup guide, etc), but so far it works quite nicely. If you're curious, you're welcome to try it out at https://tubeproxy.mills.io -- Although technically this meant for internal use (as I block Youtube at the network on purpose).

@darren@twtxt.net Thanks! 🙏

Can anyone recommend and/or vouch for a Chrome/browser extension that lets me write rewrite rules for arbitrary links on a page? e.g: s/(www\.)?youtube.com\/watch?v=([^?]+)/tubeproxy.mills.io/play/\1 for example? 🤔

If you’re curious, you’re welcome to try it out at https://tubeproxy.mills.io – Although technically this meant for internal use (as I block Youtube at the network on purpose).

Additional features I’m thinking about next:

  • Add to Plex (on-demand download, tag and update of the Plex archives)
  • Subscribe (added to my ytdl-sub that subscribes to Youtube channels and stores nicely in Plex)

In-reply-to » If you're reading this, it is now possible to post on twtxt.net using Ladybird!

@mckinley@twtxt.net Is that because LadyBird doesn’t have Javascript™? 🤔 There are some things that don’t currently degrade gracefully. We can improve things such that they do, just have to figure out what makes sense to degrade gracefully and what doesn’t… 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh that’s hilarious! Your Twt didn’t parsee and render properly! I might have to think about switching to Goldmark 🤣

In-reply-to » @darren our summer is hot, and humid. Unless at the beach—in which case it is awesome—our summers are far from great. Oh, also the lawn grows like crazy because of the almost everyday showers, and the sun that comes after, so I have to work overtime mowing. 😩

@bender@twtxt.net Haha ! 😝 I mean we’ll squish any bugs that are reasy enough to fix right? 😅

In-reply-to » @bender Well I think it's a bug IMO, but I'll have to file this upstream, unless you can? It should be filed against this project -- We still haven't migrated to goldmark 😅

I thuink that’s sorted out then. Pulled in the latest deps, repro’d locally, bug gone. So twtxt.net will roll out shortly with the new version in a few mins 👌

In-reply-to » prologic/tunesnap: tunesnap is a web application for downloading, extracting and encoding the audio tracks of videos into downloadable audio. - tunesnap - Mills

This was built over a day or so as a tool so i didn’t have to keep helping my neighbor with fixing a Bash script I wrote 🤣 It was also an excuse to try Beer CSS and htmx for real in anger on a fresh new project 👌 The result has turned out quite nicely! 😍
