I tend to use a sentence along these lines: "Give me a straightforward summary of what we discussed so far, someone who didn't read the above should understand the details. Don't be too verbose."

Then i just continue from there or simply use this as a seed in another fresh chat.

Would it be possible to serve a fake fingerprint that appears legitimate? Or even better mimic the finger print of real users who've visited a site you own for example?

yep, but it can get tricky.

some projects worth checking out: https://github.com/refraction-networking/utls https://github.com/berstend/puppeteer-extra

Unrelated, but who runs this account?

Yes, that's what web scraping services do (full disclaimer I work at scrapfly.io). Collecting fingerprints and patching the web browser against this fingerprinting is quite a bit of work so most people outsource this to web scraping APIs.

I had a similar experience once where a vendor demoed their tracking tech for advertising. This was in France (before GDPR) and they had partnered with many apps (Weather apps and such) to access user locations. I don't remember the size of their target but it was a big chunk of the French population. They showed a map of Paris showing the day of a particular user from leaving their home, which route they took, how long they stood in front of which store and how long the spend inside others etc. My boss at the time found the whole thing very exciting...

While out hiking one day, I started thinking about buying a small ladder for the kitchen. When I got home that evening, I started seeing ads for ladders even though I had not searched for ladders, spoke to anyone about ladders, or even texted anyone about them. It was just a thought I had while hiking. Was it a coincidence or something else?

Finally figured it out a day later when reviewing my hike on the Fitbit app. At the end of my hike I forgot to shutoff route tracking. On my way home, I had stopped by Walmart to grab a few things and while there, looked at their ladders. I could see on the app the path I took through the store, including when I stopped for a few minutes in front of the ladders. That was enough data to trigger ads for ladders for the next couple of days.

We leak data about ourselves constantly without realizing how much we're doing it or where it ends up going. Lots of it is also circumstantial and makes me wonder what erroneous ideas some of these databases might have accumulated over the years and who gets to see that "information". What happens if you walk through a part of town where there's an activist rally for "We Love Kitten Torture" going on? Do you forever get tagged in a bunch of databases as an animal torturer?

We don't leak data about ourselves. Companies specifically collect data about us, and then do whatever they want with it.

Jobchef.io is a SaaS I've worked on for a little while and recently released.

I have a background in marketing and HR in large company, this is my first venture into programming after learning to code on my own (VBA -> Automate the boring stuff -> coursera -> React & a lot of help debugging from a very generous friend.)

Releasing a full working product was a great milestone, but so far market fit is still quite unclear.

I wonder how much of this will be leaking i to the API or maybe you'll have a price point which includes certain "data sources" and another where these are filtered out?

The IT at the company I work for recently launched their own version of ChatGPT. Basically a chat interface that only covers the text generation. (Not image generation, OCR, etc.) When they saw nobody was using their version, they straight out blocked the domain of OpenAI altogether and the page now show a message directing users of their solution. It's a 80k + employee organization, so imagine the impact of such decision.

That actually can make sense. Public version of ChatGPT shares your company private data with third party (OpenAI), your own version does not.

Big pharma company by any chance?

I spent almost 7 years in Paris, now 6 months in Tokyo. The metro in Paris can't even be compared in terms of cleanliness.

The old Marunouchi and Mita trains used to be pretty dirty (by Tokyo standards!), but both have been upgraded in the last five years. The classic "oyaji smell" is gone from both trains now.

I one needed to run a photoshop script to remove automatically the background from thousands of products image. The script was relatively simple, but my laptop at the time kept overheating so i put it outside.. let me tell you that montreal winter is cooler than a fridge!

I think the concern is from the previous ties of Sam to HN

I've never actually developed a mini program, but worked on projects with our china teams to develop some activation for our brand on WeChat.

What I understand is that a mini program needs to be "packaged" and shipped to WeChat as a bundle. The size of the bundle is relatively small. (~10mb ?)

Of course you can load some content from outside, not everything is within those 10mb, but I think it's still relatively limited. Calling it apps within apps is a stretch.
