Manual steps are linked to in the second sentence of the Getting Started section.


Not for Linux. I am using Linux on my desktop.


It does if you look into the README for Firefox

https://github.com/corbindavenport/just-the-browser/tree/mai...


Ah, it looks like they have Linux instructions for Firefox but not for Chrome or Edge. How odd.


Who uses Edge on Linux?


I do. I use it, alongside other browsers, because I prefer different browsers for different types of tasks.


There are "detailed step-by-step instructions" linked in the second sentence of the Getting Started section. I'm not sure what more you could want, besides perhaps making it more foolproof against people who can't be bothered to read.


The Getting Started section invites you to follow the manual guides instead of running the scripts. That's what I did, and I really appreciate the site/guides.


The second sentence in the Getting Started section invites you to follow the manual guides instead of running the 3rd party shell scripts. I think this is a good way to do it -- have both options and tell people about them right at the start of the process. Is there some other way you wish they'd share this info?


I think relying on the vocabulary to indicate AI is pointless (unless they're actually using words that AI made up). There's a reason they use words such as those you've pointed out: because they're words, and their training material (a.k.a. output by humans) use them.


No American used "delve" before ChatGPT 3.5, and nobody outside fanfiction uses the metaphors it does (which are always about "secrets" "quiet" "humming" "whispers" etc). It's really very noticeable.

The link you posted doesn't back up the statement that "No American used "delve" before ChatGPT 3.5". Instead it states that _few_ people used it in _biomedical papers_. I've seen it (and metaphors using the other words you noted) used in fiction for my entire life, and I sure as hell predate chatgpt. This is why it's a bad idea to consider every use of particular words to be AI generated. There are always some people who have larger vocabularies than others and use more words, including words some people have deemed giveaways of AI use.

That said, their use may raise suspicion of AI, but they are _not_ proof of AI. I don't want to live in a world where people with large vocabularies are not taken seriously. Such an anti-intellectual stance is extremely dangerous.


I've been reading deep research results every day for months now and I promise I know what AI writing style looks like.

It has nothing to do with "large vocabularies". I know who the people with large vocabularies were that originally caused the delving thing too, and they weren't American. (Mostly they were Nigerian.) I'm confused what you think specific kinds of metaphors involving sounds have to do with large vocabularies though.

> I've seen it (and metaphors using the other words you noted) used in fiction for my entire life

And the point is that this article isn't fiction. Or not supposed to be anyway.


People with large vocabularies tend to be heavy readers, and therefore experiencing these words and metaphors more than people with smaller vocabularies. I think there's a direct link between people attempting to use certain words as proof of AI and the fact the younger generations aren't reading as much as older generations.

Somewhat contradictory, I don't think you can ignore fiction when discussing technical writing, since technical writing (especially online) has become far more casual (and influenced by conversation, pop culture, and yes, even fiction) than it ever was before. So while as I noted above, younger people are reading less these days, people are also less strict about how formal technical writing needs to be, so they may very well include words and expressions not commonly seen in that style of writing in the past.

I'm not arguing that these things can't be indicators of AI generation. I'm just arguing that they can't be proof of AI generation. And that argument only gets stronger as time goes on an more people are (sadly) influenced by things AI have generated.


I bet the llm is biased towards the mtg card delver of secrets


But now Americans do use "delve" since 3.5. So what? No Americans used "cromulent" as a word either until Simpsons invented it. Is it not a real word? Does using it mean the Simpsons wrote it?


No it's not. It's just the Post Office trying to save money by being slower. This quote from the article describes it (note the last sentence in particular):

"Potential Delays: Because most postmarks are applied at processing facilities, the date inscribed may be later than the date the mail piece was first accepted by the USPS. This discrepancy is expected to become more common due to the implementation of the "Regional Transportation Optimization" (RTO) initiative and the adoption of "leg-based" service standards."


It strikes me as kind of weird (or maybe a red flag?) that there's no landing page nor an About page.


I think it's more of a red flag that they chose a name that's one letter away from a well-known site that sells music samples: https://www.loopmasters.com/

Not like a fringe unknown one, but one with over 20 years of history and now-owned by Beatport.


meh, if they were that worried about their brand, they should have bought up the variants of their domain plus TLDs. otherwise, they can't possibly be that concerned about their trademark.


Wouldn't 0402 be 4x larger (if comparing lengths) or 16x larger (if comparing areas), not 2.5x?

Edit: Nevermind, I was wrong. I see now that the sizes don't actually directly correspond to the number codes! 01005 is 0.4mm x 0.2mm and 0402 is 1mm x 0.5mm. That's annoyingly confusing, IMO.


Metric mm vs imperial thou. Confusing but at least explainable


Yeah, I agree. The size and price are attractive and they are pretty capable, but the UI is a bit more complex than ideal. It either needs better labeling of functions/combos (which is hard to do with the size) or more buttons/knobs to reduce the number of combos. On that note, the cases do a bit to aid with the labeling, but they also increase the price by more than one might expect. With better UI, they could have been truly amazing.


I've played much more graphically complex games on my M1 MacBook Pro with 16GB ram and _not_ had that issue. I think the makers/porters of Inscryption are to blame for your issue, not Apple.


I agree with the other guy. Just plugging in my M1 Max Macbook to an external 4k monitor makes it hot to touch. I don't what they are doing with the cooling on this laptop.


My m4 macbook had a weird flashing external monitor issue. One that eventually led to my monitor appearing to break. But have no fear, it's a known problem since m1 times and not a priority to fix.


Do you mean plugging a 4k monitor in while gaming, or just in general? If just in general, something's going very wrong since I _only_ use my M1 (not m1 max, not m1 pro) macbook plugged into a 4k monitor (except when traveling), and it's never hot unless I'm playing a game that's really pushing the processor. For most games it barely even gets warm. And for normal web-browsing and netflix-watching it's cool to the touch.
