Here is an interesting case of a failure of the regulations, I’m curious how this goes

True, microslop has a record of breaking GDPR and changing ToS without notifying users and looks like they are free to do so.

Cool idea, but does it justify $45 for a deck of some average ai images?

That’s just the cost of the print on demand service. We’re not trying to make any profits or a real business here.

Attention! The tech overlords demand that we give them our all natural human-made content so that they can continue feeding us the spam and slop we know and love!

Reminds me of that instagram caption: “No problem! Here's the information about the Mercedes CLR GTR:[…]”. Wouldn’t be surprised if every other website returned that too nowadays.

I’m excitingly awaiting what the next SEO exploit of the exploit of the exploit will be

(disclaimer: people remember how sketchy Brave is)

That was just a concept, it never made it to a live build AFAIK.

What they should have done instead is just take hundreds of millions of dollars from Google, like a non-sketchy browser.

Don't forget when they took donations on behalf of other websites and kept the money unless the operator went to the "escrow account" to collect it

The grants came from our token fund, not users' tokens (no way to buy BAT then).

The issue which I found out about late, and fixed right away, was infringing on right to publicity, nothing to do with donations from users' own tokens.

Jesus dont you see they are trying atleast an alternative to non consensual anal probes by other ad companies?

Already shared, but that (what you linked to) was a proposal and no deliverable was ever publicly released. A simple prototype was made and tested by a limited number of employees - instead of showing an ad, it would show a picture of a mustachioed man as a placeholder. That silly picture would be replaced with real code if the idea panned out. It didn't. The idea and the code was canned before I joined Brave and I've been here for almost 10 years (I joined August 2016).

Disclaimer in case it's not obvious: I am a Brave employee

Here’s a simple one: a social media for people, one that doesn’t analyse, sell, or train on my data, and a one that people use as a social media—with their own name (remember when facebook required academic login?).

BeReal was close, it was unique, caught up with hype but it suffered from incompetent management (it was buggy as hell), and later sold out for data scraps.

I wish an already popular actual social media site existed.

I like this idea. What would be the business model? That's the hard part. This is the part companies can't figure out and they either sell out to investors or turn to ads :(

> Seemingly, there is an assumption that software written in Rust is inherently better

Yes. Both Rust and its standard library have features that make programs be less likely to have problems.

> than any other

No. It's just better than the languages that are very popular right now.

> or that if something is written in Rust, it cannot have any errors.

No. How people keep jumping from "better" to "absolutely 100% infallible" is beyond me. Nobody is claiming this.

> But why fix programs that are already memory safe?

Because:

1. Programs that are already memory safe still need to be improved, and those improvements are really dangerous in a dangerous language

2. Things like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46013579

What an insightful comment! (sorry, couldn’t help it)

I agree about the silliness. God forbid i am a non-native English speaker and I have a bit of an of odd writing style in a real Brits eye. Or that I use ‘—‘ instead of ‘-‘ because usually typing two dashes converts to the long one on Mac (try even four, technology is crazy these days), and it just feels a bit nicer. OR that I adopt occasional use of ‘;’ because I feel like it (Yes. English is supposed to have short sentences. Unlike other languages. Beautiful. Sue me.)

I don’t care if they helped themselves with AI to improve writing or turn a bullet point into a sentence. It’s when the volume of text doesn’t justify the lack of content or value that I call bs and go to the next one. At this point it might as well be human generated content, but I don’t care, outcome’s the same.

Regarding the post — it’s a cute little article and the pelicans do seem be making a point with their funky shapes
