I found it really struggled in Firefox. Chrome was better. I've not done any optimisations tho.




BinFace in the UK right now is giving oddly similar vibes


say hi first, then the prompt. seems to work better.


Confirmation bias. Simply repeating does the trick. The interesting part isn't that this error comes up. It's that it very often decides "weird" means "pornographic" and starts to generate such an image before catching itself.



Ha, why is the creator's account banned?


Its reddit side ban not subreddit side so likely spamming en bulk triggered.


other most common reason for a Reddit site ban is posting free Palestine


This is almost laughable after what happened to https://covid.gov/ - the once pretty reliable source of scientific information on covid-19.

...almost.


it's an official US govt page!!


Worth trying claude/gemini to see if they'll do some scraping for you. I've found some paywall sites only too happy to allow Gemini past the wall.


Hadn't thought of that tbh. Worth a go on Liverpool especially... that's the AWS WAF one I'm currently blocked on and it is doing my head in. The challenge there is volume rather than access (~80k decisions to backfill), so even if an LLM gets through the wall I'd still need to script around it. But could be a way in for the initial cookie. Cheers for the tip and will look into it.


can you share link to Liverpool so i can try it too please?


Sure, here you go: https://lar.liverpool.gov.uk/planning/index.html?fa=search

Heads up tho... it's behind AWS WAF with a JS challenge. Solving the challenge once works fine, but the WAF rate-limits the IP after ~10 requests and blocks for the rest of the day. So getting a session is doable, getting through 80,000 decisions is the hard bit. If you crack it I want to know! Cheers.


(apologies for formatting)


(just add two line-breaks between links; hn needs them otherwise if it's just one line-break it'll smoosh it all into one line)
