I do a similar thing manually and you have to watch it very carefully to avoid over engineering, ironically you need judgement here not vibe, otherwise (codex especially) will ratchet the project into some complicated enterprise grade over

Mine too, on windows. It seems to be some very aggressive and poorly planned rg (ripgrep) calls mostly, when running parallel sessions. Multiple simultanous Claude code sessions don't have same problem.

OneDrive used to be rubbish but nowadays it's reliable. We use it at work and I don't feel any pressure to move to Dropbox. It's also much cheaper.

So long as you've backed up the key you can fairly easily decrypt on any machine.

This doesn't sound bitlocker specific, sounds more like a login bypass. If you rely on TPM without PIN then it gets decrypted automatically. This should be fine normally as attackers shouldn't be able to get past login screen. But

As a fellow Londoner I can confirm it's worth visiting and the crown jewels are also nicely presented. Don't be fooled into queueing for the bloody tower torture chamber, anything you can see seemed to be a Victorian fantasy.

Capture One which is the biggest Lightroom alternative (popular with wedding and fashion industry) has pretty good tools for batch edit and getting a consistent look across a shot. It's expensive though.

They can do that by jailbreaking models but is that really easier and less work than getting it from Wikipedia?

Is the lack of CVE because the implementations you wrote are better written and safer than those in the standard libraries or because no one has checked?

The big difference is that 'real' nappies become extremely uncomfortable when wet (child immediately cries to be changed) so toddlers get a strong incentive to stop wetting whereas with modern disposables they barely even notice w

I assume the esrog is the primeval citron but I've noticed that Jewish tradition (which rejects the use of hybrid citrons) allows some surprisingly different citrons in practice, popularly associated with Israel, Morocco, Yemen, Corfu

Whenever I build a new feature with it I end up with several plan files leftover. I ask CC to combine them all, update with what we actually ended up building and name it something sensible, then whenever I want to work on that area again i

The first baby photo is definitely the best. Artistic lighting setups can work for adult portraits, photographers used to recommend side lighting for male bone structure, but it just looks wrong in these baby photos.

Wouldn't stockfish's position evaluation be incorrect in that case? (If it evaluated the position based on a formula that assumed normal rules)

It's a second price auction. Who cares what their limit is. If it's more than the value of the item to you then they will win. Otherwise you will win.

They've now made a change in that at least when you open a csv it now asks you beforehand if you want your data transformed, eg converting strings to numbers where that loses leading zeros.

Unfortunately many countries have blanket extradition bans. US is one of the worst - it caused a lot of tension in the past when they wouldn't extradite IRA bombers but got UK to agree to extradite anyone US wanted.

There's nothing specific to Gemini and Antigravity here. This is an issue for all agent coding tools with cli access. Personally I'm hesitant to allow mine (I use Cline personally) access to a web search MCP and I tend to give it

It's arguably easier just to sanitise at display time otherwise you have problems like double escaping.

Cline plan mode doesn't tend to read files by default but you can tell it 'read all files necessary to establish a detailed plan'. GPT5 also seems more eager to read files.

> lack in-depth knowledge of your business, codebase, or roadmap So give them some context. I like Cline's memory bank approach https://docs.cline.bot/prompting/cline-memory-bank which includes the architecture

My IT department use the official Microsoft phishing test. The emails arrive in inbox with 0 headers. (There's also a helpful Microsoft page of all the dodgy sounding domains they've registered for this.)

Large companies need to do it too, including all LSE listed. Here is a summary by the regulator https://www.frc.org.uk/library/digital-reporting/structured-... But of course a LLM could theoretically automate much

UK company filings are already marked up with machine readable, structured, standardised tags. It's called XBRL. So it doesn't necessarily need a LLM to parse.

MS Copilot is quite useful for meeting minutes and summaries etc. Still not nearly as useful as good handwritten notes but saves loads of time.

It is not so much that used diamonds are worth less (although they might decline in value without provenance to prove they are natural or if they are chipped) but the huge markup on retail jewellery. It's easy for any member of the pub

TL;DR: Amazon somehow merged a malicious PR that changed the system prompt to one that would aim to delete everything, locally and in the cloud, and this got included in the release version.
