I'm getting all my questions (3-10 each evening) answered by "Gemini Pro Extended" in the free tier, sometimes with PDFs or photos attached. I wouldn't bother with anything "free" below that, unless I'm ag

I don't think you'll be able to argue with Moroccans. If they criticize their dictator they land in prison, so..

What's so hard about having the LLM tool calls scoped to the tenant? Inject "X-Scope-I" after the LLM decided on a tool call and you're done. Easiest fix ever.

The interviewer might also just be a cog in the machine and know how it works. "Just solve it and I'll note down an A+" is sometimes better than "candidate was honest, but didn't finish the alternative riddle."

Worked for a company with a 3D web application (among other things.) Those things can't be tested with Playwright et al. So the team had a "every pull request gets an instance like pr143.company.org" pipeline where QA approve

This is typical institutional behaviour. The CEO turns to the CTO and asks "Is there anything I need to know in my company?" He doesn't want to be caught off-guard when the White House inevitably calls the next morning. The C

Honestly, i don't need to know what happened internally at Google when I searched. I don't need to know what filters an email passed before it landed in my inbox. I don't need to know when my Notes app synched with what serve

Even Wirecard – a fraudulent German bank missing some billions of euros and run by a Russian spy – always blamed bad press. Denials mean nothing.

I don't know what purpose these "they copied us" crying is ever going to achieve. Europeans stole Chinese silk worms. US stole European books, looms and rocket scientists. Who cares? Be grateful you've got people inventi

Indeed a helpful article for it's detailed insights. Once you think about alternatives, it's clear why everyone else is on the well-known path (such as unhelpful support.) I've often heard stuff like "telecom provider su

There are so many reasons for this. Most people have a real job and want to meet friends in the evening, not challengers. Debating someone with your rules in mind that the others didn't learn also feels like slapping someone who's

I've also wondered whether implementing OS calls would have been smarter. Maybe there's already a library that does 90% for you. But then, I get the idea of the project. If you wanted real kubernetes, it's easy to install on

That's what I love about iPhone13 mini with Safari. You spot badly designed sites immediately. (This site's buttons are too wide and it bumps from left to right when scrolling sideways.) It's still a free CSS kit, but now I k

As a European with a digital-ID passport that supports age verification without identification, the lack of technical support for this infuriates me. Maybe once we have the euro-wide digital wallet and make it compulsory to support it.
