it's common, they reserve an amount, and then update towards the final payment. These are not payments as such, and almost always take 48 hours to clear. Same at hotel rooms usually etc.. Many banks only show payments (so only after cl

wait, people can just do that? How does that even work? Does Visa not supposedly protect both the seller and the buyer? In Western Europe, a chargeback is not that unheard of, but it still requires you to make your case and follow a procedu

Yaah I feel the same way. Gemini is great at and Django and AI backends, OpenAI better at making something visually pleasing in React and Claude for everything else or across frontend and backend. At least, that's my heuristic that ten

I think it was a lot less restrictive, as far as I understood, the only limit was Microsoft not being allowed to launch competing Microsoft-developed LLMs.

the M line of macbook pro's are beautiful, well crafted, long lasting machines. MacOS might not be your preferred way of working, and you might prefer cheaper options or USB-A ports, but there is really nothing you could arguably call

weird how its 0 to 15, and no in between. I went in hoping to set it to 5 minutes. I don't see that as a problem. However, suddenly losing 15 minutes, yeah that's an issue

thank you, I had this debate at work so many times. Sure it's not a security measure as such, but it's still a worthwile component to the overall defense system.

also, let's not conflate easy to repair with cheap to repair. The macbook is quite easy to repair, it's just insanely expensive because they made the choice that, for user experience, they attach the keyboard to the machines body.

you need a ton of third party tools to make it behave like Windows, that's what you mean. I'm perfectly happy with my "vanilla" macbook. Runs Baldurs Gate 3 and my final fantasy ps2 emulator just fine, and even trackmani

6k would be a no-brainer. In our office, we'd definitely need the enterprise version for compliance reasons, not because of the features. That's about 14/user/month. At a workforce of roughly 2500, that's a 4million

yeah I don't understand how this isn't blatant market abuse through their monopoly position Regulators should be all over it. EU has tried, but unsuccesfully, since it was lawyers who came up with the mitigation.

I would like to counteract your statement that each token adds a distraction. In our experiments, we see a surprising benefit to rewriting blocks to use more tokens, especially long lists etc.. E.g. compare these two options "The follo

I saw a demo of parloa (or maybe it was a different provider), and no joke, they insert sound of typing on a keyboard or stuff like that during an LLM tool call, its weird but surprisingly effective lol

Benefit of mcp is that it exists and kinda works, and a lot of tools are available on it. I guess it's all about adoption. But inherently yeah it's a discovery service thingy. Google will never embrace mcp since it's invented

not true at all, onboarding is complex too. E.g. you cant just connect claude to your outlook, or have it automate stuff in your CRM. As a office drone, you don't have the admin permissions to setup those connections at all. And that&#

they somehow made it worse and use a less capable version with smaller context window. The only potential upside for businesses it that it can crawl onedrive/sharepoint, and acts as a glorious search machine in your mailbox and files.
