How are you potentially damaging your eyes? If it’s totality looking through them is a waste of time (you won’t see anything) and outside that range you have hours to pass them around. The sharing part has no impact.

This is incorrect. The plan doesn't apply to workspace aliases, but it does apply to workspace users using Send-As via SMTP.

by ericpauley 12d ago
The flip side of this is that GMail's Send-As feature has seen virtually no maintenance whatsoever. It's buggy-as and I expect most people (like myself) have been putting up with it out of inertia because switching email clients i

This was the last straw for me. I'm migrating to Apple Mail and cancelling workspace ASAP. ETA: I said nothing about where I'm planning to host my SMTP server. Apple Mail is a provider-agnostic client-side application, like Thun

I was really hoping for this article to eventually get somewhere, but it is mostly just random anecdotes about the author’s mom using Claude.

Project-based learning is not a new idea. However, it is precisely the sort of assessment strategy that is being attacked by AI: students can complete many projects fully using AI without learning anything about the underlying material.

In every state I am aware of employers are required to gross up to minimum wage if tips fall short. Yours is likely the same.

This idea that the US labs are just directly committing fraud against effectively every major US organization is the most tinfoil hat thing I’ve heard in a long time. Training on excluded data would (eventually) be trivially provable. Forge

It’s really about incentives more than morals. I know that, being in the US, if Anthropic steals my company’s trade secrets through model inputs contrary to our policy that I will (in theory) have legal standing and enforceable contracts ag

I suspect that sustained reading of Opus 5's unconscionably bad prose could actually cause psychological harm. We're strongly considering moving all of our Anthropic spend to Codex/open weight models. It's a mental healt

Two things: (1) models are far more autonomous and run for longer coherently, (2) visibility into the development process was lost in local development. Because models run for a long time autonomously developers need to manage more agents s

I'm going to chock this one up as a yet-another "X is your agentic coding hub" PR nonsense. What are people actually using to manage semi-collaborative agentic coding workflows nowadays? We've moved from on-dev-machine c

This also stood out to me, such that this article really has no bearing on the validity of advanced degrees in the sciences. Case in point, if you got a "Doctor of Sciences" degree and "had no idea what a p-value was or why t

Funny that they share a carbon intensity number that seems totally divorced from the technology itself. Is AMD taking credit for the electric grid cleaning up?

The article says verbatim “PostgreSQL Replaces Clickhouse”. Coming from storing billions of rows in Clickhouse and performing dozens of materialized operations I shudder to think about what that would look like in a DB that doesn’t even sup

Postgres is great, but I certainly don't think it's great for everything. For instance, while you can in theory implement OLAP aggregation you're going to be hand-rolling a bunch of stuff that something like Clickhouse gives

Athena + Clickhouse has been an absolute game changer for us. Perfect combo for OLAP + deeper filtering that we can’t necessarily pre-index for.

Am I missing something? A quick search for electric ranges on Home Depot shows simmerstats at every price range. The harder one is induction, where there are lots of touch controls, but I don’t see this issue on traditional resistive stovet

I think (outside hobbies) new programming language development is basically dead at this point. The major use cases have been filled, and there are more forces than ever towards using a battle-tested language with a massive ecosystem. Furth

This story is shared all the time, but what airport actually did this? I’m not aware of any major US hub that meaningfully delays passenger egress like this.

Cruft complaints aside, what are people actually doing about this? Claude's prose output is becoming incomprehensible as its coding skill increases, and the concepts it needs to express are becoming more complex as it can handle more c
