@ericlaw Hey, I have a memory that at some point you wrote a rather detailed description of how custom protocol handling worked in some ancient IE, full with the many complexities and why it's hard — but I can't find it. Am I misremembering?

Replying to @ericlaw

Ah, "Asynchronous Pluggable Protocols" is the phrase I was missing. This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks a lot!

One thing that I've wondered about is how responsive to dog whistles the models would be. I think it may be possible to craft the same question with phrasing variants that are politically coded (based on an existing corpus) and see if it triggers different outputs.
If we're mutuals or we know each other one way or another, I have an invite code for the blue place. Please hop over, getting away from here is more than urgent.

Replying to @karlgroves

It's already gone, but let me ask over there if anyone has one going spare! Otherwise I'll get a new one at some point.

Replying to @stimpee

You need to follow new people!

I'm out of invites right now, but I've made a list and I'll ping you next I get one! It used to be every two weeks but sometimes it's faster.

Replying to @ColinHayhurst

Oh yeah, search is dead here… I'm out of invites but I've put you on my waitlist for when I get some more!

Replying to @OlufemiOTaiwo

Oh yeah that one has been breaking regularly for me for a while.

Replying to @null and @amyvdh, @barefootliam

Yeah. Compared to the betusked place, I would say a lot less mansplaining.

Replying to @mer__edith

I think that @DuncanEMcCann was looking into it?

Replying to @null and @amyvdh, @barefootliam

Lol that's correct!
