"Under the Silver Lake" explanation (mbin.grits.dev)
Okay so the explanation for "Under the Silver Lake" was so obvious (I thought) that I was waiting for the reveal, and then it never came, and then I looked up explanations online, and they also didn't arrive at the same explanation. So with significant spoilers in mind, here is my theory:...

Discussion: If I think Biden is too old, and I want to support a different nominee for the Democrats, what should I do? (mbin.grits.dev)
I am 1,000% going to vote for the Democratic nominee in November, because I don't want the world to end. I just want to make that clear because I know some people may be rightly suspicious of this type of post, for oh you know the reasons....

Timeouts using GPT-4? (mbin.grits.dev)

About 50% of the time when I do that, it fails requests or says suspicious activity has been detected (but then works immediately if I simply try...
Good hosting? (mbin.grits.dev)
Does anyone have recommendations for good VPS Linux hosting places? I used to recommend DigitalOcean, but I'm having a subpar support experience currently that sets off some slight alarm bells such that I might want to look elsewhere. What's good?

Hello! I'm making changes to a web app that involves some aria classes, and I read the docs about how they work, but I'm not real confident in my ability to construct them into something that produces a well-usable experience for someone who's using the app. Is there a good way to get direct feedback from someone who uses a...

For some reason this only just now occurred to me: What's to stop some web site from carefully crafting an imitation of the Google "you need to sign in again" UI, storing your Google password, and storing from the other side the auth cookie from Google, so that it can then poke around through 100% of your Google content...
