This is a reward to Oracle for their support of trump, with the condition that TikTok now support him too.

But it was never as bad as for most telecoms.

I thought “Android drivers” were Linux drivers?

They make trump like you. The best way to get the US state on your side these days is to send money to Oracle, Palintir, or a bitcoin address.

I don’t think it would cost more. The real problem with nuclear energy is, and always has been the cost. It always seems to turn into a boondoggle.

It’s usually about well connected companies lobbying for free money. It’s the sort of thing that keeps Bell and others afloat and guarantees they never have to get competitive. The gross thing is seeing the public cheer it on.

You said the fact was sold to the highest bidder, which implies that they sell your data. Which is something that most people believe because people use language like you have. But it isn’t true. The second time you were much more accurate

> using the data they have harvested from you and selling ad placements You changed what you wrote to make it accurate now, but refused to admit that and instead just prepended it with "literally"! Wonderfully ironic given that

> and sold to the highest bidder. Yikes, you are doing it too. Does accuracy in prose not count anymore? When you have a strong case you shouldn’t have to bend the facts.

I think the ad model as the document model of the internet consumer was discovered long before Google, but otherwise agree with you.

Ok, I looked at your agent-rules and it sounds good except for a couple things ... "Guidance for Use" Your preference for bullet lists over headers is odd. This comes down to what works best with the models - they are interpretin

But that's my point - Google is proposing removing it from the spec. It's kinda weird to reformulate it for the headline as 'Chrome' is doing it.

by tomComb 1y ago
But no, that's the opposite - here sub-context files REPLACE the ones above it rather then augmenting it - and I think that deviating in this way is kinda' dangerous in that user's might not notice this difference.

Agree on the need for hierarchical agents.md. I thought that was kind of standard and I am surprised that this proposal doesn’t support that.

I think we lost something pretty big in this formulation. With Claude code and others, if I put a context file (agent.MD or whatever) in a project subfolder, e.g., something explaining my database model in with the related code, it gets add

But a browser doesn’t have agency – it’s Google that is doing this.

Chrome is a browser – it can’t remove something from the spec. Perhaps this should say Google proposes to remove it from the spec.

The 'big beautiful bill' was giving up. Dismantling the existing automotive supply chains, instead of continuing to shift them to electric was giving up. The US needs a strong market for EV's supplied by manufacturing that

If not now, soon. The US is making a big mistake giving up on the EV chain. In doing so it is ceding drones and robots, which are key to future wars and economies. The countries that it is currently waging economic war against should instea

I can sympathize. I don’t know about uber in particular but it gets quite tiring trying to find and follow these obscure settings. And what’s worse is that the companies always seem to find a way to reset it to what they want quite frequent

by tomComb 1y ago
That does make it better, but it’s getting so tiring, trying to find those settings for all the different apps, and figuring out whether you can adjust them without losing something you really want. And what’s worse is that the companies al

Big fan swyx, but both here and in the article there is some bragging about being quoted by sama, and while I acknowledge that that’s not out of the ordinary, I’m concerned about where it leads: what it takes to get quoted by sama (or simil

What Chinese users? Google pulled out of China like a decade ago when they insisted that Google censor search results.

Since those days are ambiguous anyway, they would have had to hold off until the 13th. In Canada, a third of the dates we see are British, and another third are American, so it’s really confusing. Thankfully y-m-d is now a legal format and

The lack of JSONB is what stopped me.

But being like that can get you elected.

Wow, didn't take him long to reward Oracle. And I can imagine he's cooking up something with Tik-tok that will help them and his other rich buddies. I guess this also helps them steer OpenAI into their orbit.

This looks great, thanks. But I think gists are better for unimportant stuff - for this I think it deserves its own repo.

Wow, the formatting of this CBC article is great. It looks like this is their 'low-bandwidth' site. I wish all my news was presented like this.
