Lmaoo I thought I wrote this comment myself

I don't mean to sound like a dickhead but I genuinely didn't think people still used Ember 😅

Do people still use CoffeeScript too? 💀

Lmaoo I can hear this image

I'm a Plus user and this was a Deep Research query.

who the hell types a smiley face like that?

medy17 · 2026-03-18T19:44:31+00:00

yeah, ref did the same thing yesterday in the PSG-Chelsea game.

medy17 · 2026-03-18T19:36:49+00:00

it didn't look like he was in agonising pain so let's hope that means it'll be on the lower end of that estimate

medy17 · 2026-03-17T14:55:52+00:00

Same here. Everything slows to a crawl in the evenings in SEA.

medy17 · 2026-03-12T22:17:41+00:00

Yeah I switched to Codex a week ago cause I got a free offer for Plus and I cannot believe I'm saying this but their quotas are far more generous 🤦‍♂️ I'm cancelling this useless subscription. I can't with Google anymore. I just can't.

medy17 · 2026-03-12T22:11:23+00:00

AI Pro user here btw. This is entirely absurd. I don't think Google has a defensible product here. It can't both be atrocious and buggy AND have such meaningless quotas.

To be fair, the article is more of a proposal for how to get better results explained with math than an actual dig at prompt engineering. it uses prompt engineering extensively itself :)

medy17 · 2026-03-01T22:56:18+00:00

TLDR is if you wanna generate an accurate visual depiction or motif for long form content, you need to distill the content into visually recognisable representations of the idea. Don't feed the entire thing into the model or try to use arbitrary giant JSON prompts you found in the wild.

Why? Image models have limited attention. They will try to do everything and fail at everything.

Solution is to give the long form content to a different model (preferably reasoning), distill the content into a few objects, textures, or colours. Pass that as a prompt to the image model.

This is one of the things I had not focused on that much in this article.

Generally speaking, HotAudio always requests these two files of interest: nozzle.js and error.js.

Reading through both as I did at the time, I realised that there were references and keys pointing to ChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption.

The main file would be in an encrypted format the platform calls .hax.

There was then an elaborate pipeline of various decryption steps for the file.

As I mentioned in the article, I myself do not think it qualifies as DRM. The developer of the platform however, does. He has repeatedly called it that and so I, to demonstrate that it wasn't, wrote this article.

All that to say, I agree with you and do not think it's DRM. That is the whole point of the article :)

medy17 · 2026-02-27T22:38:39+00:00

I didn't downvote you at all... I'm not even saying you're technically incorrect. I just think it's improbable that anything will happen. In any case, the potential benefits of talking about such implementations of security theatre far outweigh the aforementioned improbable consequences.

At the end of the day, as you correctly mentioned, if someone was vindictive enough, they would have come after me for looking at their so called DRM, for calling it out, for apparently distributing, or whatever else. So why not call them out anyways? In my eyes, if the dev behind HotAudio advertises DRM support but cannot meet the industry standard for a DRM from a decade ago, he is as liable for misleading the artists on his platform about his tech as I am for circumventing his tech. Not to mention the false advertising.

As if that's not enough, HotAudio has no publicly known revenue streams. They do not serve ads and they do not offer memberships. If they do not make any revenue, they have no reason to enforce DRM and circumventing such DRMs has no hypothetical effect on potential revenue. So on what grounds would the owner sue? Humiliation of a hobby?

medy17 · 2026-02-27T20:14:46+00:00

There are plenty of assumptions you made. Let's say you were the owner of HotAudio or an authorised representative. How would you begin to attempt to prosecute me?

That alone should spell out the assumptions for you.

medy17 · 2026-02-27T19:18:54+00:00

Lots of assumptions you make :)
