Yes, it is. But it's not just Google. User fingerprinting is already a massive market and is growingly user hostile. There's at least one HN post each month of someone losing access to their account for no real reason and no way t

I use multiple Google accounts to segregate the data that gets collected on each one - as I don't like having, say, TV logged in to the same account where I send my emails from. One of them, which I use exclusively for Gemini, was bann

It can, but the auth & communication to Anthropic's APIs is basically reverse engineered from Claude Code. While it works, and it seems Antropic is choosing to look the other way, it _may_ result in your account getting banned, as

When they launched Discover Weekly thing, I used to add at least 1 track from it to my library - it was insanely good. Now it's all junk - not even close to what I listen to. They also removed a lot of discovery features - Playlist Rad

In my country, there is no single document that shows my name and address that is acceptable as a document for address verification in many western fintech applications. If you're renting, bills will arrive in the name of the owner, ev

O-1 requires yearly assessment of the exceptional status though. You can hardly plan your life around a visa that is quite subjective in itself and may depend on the mood of the USCIS officer reviewing your case on that particular day.

Internet Archive is missing enormous chunks of the internet though. And I don't mean weird parts of the internet, just regional stuff. Not even news articles from top 10 news websites from my country are usually indexed there.

Oh, absolutely, context matters a lot. But the thing is, they still fail even with solid context. Before I let an agent touch code, I spell out the issue/feature and have it write two markdown files - strategy.md and progress.md (with

Curiously, I explicitly tell all my LLM agents to never touch Pydantic models or environment stuff - it’s even in big, uppercase, bold text in my custom instructions for Roo-Code. LLMs seem to trip a lot over Pydantic’s magic.

LLMs (Sonnet, Gemini from what I tested) tend to “fix” failing tests by either removing them outright or tweaking the assertions just enough to make them pass. The opposite happens too - sometimes they change the actual logic when what real

It just so happens that Google phones have good hardware level security - unparalleled in market, actually. The only issue is that default OS installed from factory uses this hardware security for nefarious purposes. If you swap the OS, you

In the high-end smartphone market, using an OS from a giant ad company is already a compromise for freedom. But if that freedom vanishes, why bother? Apple's hardware and software outclass Google's. And with E2EE for cloud data, I
