bit unfair. if the second one is allowed an extra statement "And so does every LLM company." so should the first

how do u get banned from archive.is

My UK mobile phone provider blocks it, presumably unless I tell them I want adult filtering off

Why haven't you told them that?

I honestly can't be arsed, I have a VPN so I switch that on if I come across blocked links.

You should do it. Slightly increase the cost to them of having this default filter.

They banned all of Finland, presumably due to a spat with a Finnish blogger, although the story seems a bit murky.

and caching is related to performance too ofc

You make some good points, but the best one is the one you might not be aware you've made.

You may not be aware of the most important emergent property of this comment: it made me piss myself laughing. Strong work, architect of intent.

neat. why not screenshot and tesseract (videos/images/viewport/etc)

Because you then have the macOS orange screen sharing warning/icon. I don't really want to record my screen, just the text is enough.

Agree

When I built rem, I spent significant effort getting screenshot -> ocr + screenshot -> ffmpeg loop energy efficient, but it definitely is more expensive than accessibility API.

You also save a lot of disk space and writes to disk.

That being said, you lose the cool swipe to go back in time and search through history and visually see, features.

And situations where accessibility isn't supported.

And as others have mentioned, built in ocr is definitely better than tesseract.

Project reasons aside, macOS has perfectly capable, local, native OCR that you can access programmatically, without having to install something else.

OCR starts from screenshots though. This only grabs text via accessibility APIs, before rendering or any screenshots.

Fair! It is actually new and interesting information for me (not into macOS dev)

anyone notice the jokes they put in?

* bot: "im nervous. is that a microphone?"

* bot: "great job, you're a machine!" (said to another bot, a machine)

* bot: clicks "i am [not] a robot" button on a computer

but u wouldnt get caching savings

You definitely still would, but you need to pay the full input cost twice, so the equation really depends on how much first message vs repeat message matter.

Ttl 1 hour maybe. 5min? Never

background

i love this rule, but then again everything i agree with is 'common sense' to me!
