What about the fraud that led up to the GFC -- pre-TARP? I think that's what people meme about.

It remains to be seen if companies are going to spend more effort in to making AI-accessible design than they do user-accessible design.

I've yet to receive an accurate response from Gemini about GCP services, beyond completely trivial topics. The most recent, I think, was Gemini advising me that I could attach an existing pd SSD PVC to a n4 or c4 VM. For whatever unkno

That's standard for Firebase apps. It's also recommended by Google (they describe the keys as "public by design").

If we all spent more time listening the guy who called someone a pedophile because he suggested the guy's plan to save people was ridiculous, would that improve discourse? I am skeptical.

Not the person you're replying to but yes, sometimes I do tell the agent to remove the cruft. Then I back up a few messages in the context and reword my request. Instead of just saying "fix this crash", or whatever, I say &qu

Ironic that this link is hosted on Substack, eh? It's always a bummer to see that in the header after opening a page.

I caught it using Parameters<typeof otherfn>[2] the other day. It wanted to avoid importing a type, so it did this nonsense. (I might have the syntax slightly wrong here, I'm writing from memory.) But it's not all bad news.

Maybe if my bank emailed me, otherwise I doubt it. Local gas stations routinely use $200 holds and I'd have to go way out of my way to see it happen.

We can barely convince powers thar be that eye-witness testimony is unreliable, after all.

Companies may get multiple options but you and I and Joe average are going to have to submit PII to several vendors chosen by someone else, exactly like the credit bureau system but without the regulations they have to follow. The fact that

OneDrive pop-ups in the system tray, OneDrive buttons in explorer are two of the most egregious because they are presented as though they are not ads.

by dpkirchner 7mo ago
I think it's more likely that what you consider ads and what we consider ads don't quite line up.

"Secondarily titled" is not a thing in our constitution, so it is correct to use "Defense". Also I just noticed in my pedantry I typed Department of Justice. Embarrassing.

FYI an accurate timeline should use the correct name for the government agency: Department of Justice. Hesgeth is the Secretary of Defense.

There is no such thing. That's a fantasy term used by deluded people to signal a particular virtue.

Reminds me of Claude's time estimates. Yeah this project isn't actually going to take 12 weeks, Claude, nice try though.

He was quick to ban links to Mastodon when it was on the rise, I'm not sure why he'd treat SpaceX/xAI competitors any differently.

Interesting. I wonder if it's just a matter of prompting properly or if GPT/GLM just doesn't have that training.

Progressive disclosure is good for reducing context usage but it also reduces the benefit of token caching. It might be a toss-up, given this research result.

Claude Code's handling of multiple choice questions is awfully nice (it uses an interactive interface to let you use arrows to select answers, and supports multiple answers). I haven't seen opencode do that yet, although I don&#x2

Prediction 2: companies will hire full-time Slack Cops whose whole job is shaming coworkers and talking about threads (the #1 Slack anti-feature). Well, this was my prediction pre-easy-to-use LLMs, anyway.

I'm not the site owner but it might help to share some of the content you'll see in Gmail when you hit "show original". That'll show things like SPF and DMARC pass/fail.

Google Maps regularly sends contractors, delivery drivers, etc to a blocked off utility "road" that has never allowed traffic. Apple Maps doesn't. I've given up reporting the problem to Google. (And besides, Google event

Are you sure you're not thinking of billing alerts ? AFAIK there is still no way to set spending limits at GCP.
