I read this as "Claude integration to Slack is now billed as API usage". Is that wrong?

Sometimes I wonder if people understand what "non-deterministic" means? These things are generators of pleasing words. They are random and not at all thinking. Why would anybody think that prompt guardrails would be effective?

Typing ten extra characters is an investment that pays off vs the overhead of doing any piece of work in the future. There's no real downside here, it doesn't make the code more complex, it gives less surprising results. I think

It's not that it must be registered (incorporated) in Germany. It's that for tax purposes if the company is run from Germany it will be considered "permanently established" and treated as resident there. Permanent esta

I'm more than happy to pay for DRM free epubs. I won't pay for a crippled rental of a book that only works on amazon or adobe blessed devices and can be confiscated on the whim of a corporation who won't be answerable for it

Having just had solar and a battery fitted by Octopus I'm interested - would you mind sharing what you use for automation here please?

We are talking about an extremely powerful corporation in an antitrust case not a person. It does not need to be defended in this way, which is a level of protection rarely afforded to individuals. There is a definite public interest in un

There's very little reason that Google should have been protected from the evidence of its wrongdoing being made public. That's not extrajudicial punishment, that is public record. Justice should be seen to be done as well as do

I read it as "stop asking me the same thing over and over again, I've already told you". It's a shame that the no doubt hundreds of UX people at Netflix are so sloppy.

It wouldn't be surprising that de-regulation is good for innovation in the US, because "regulation" in the US almost always means corporate capture of a market through political bribery. Regulation in territories where it is

Capitalism is always looking for ways to make complex, expensive work simpler and cheaper. Why wouldn't it? The thing is it doesn't really matter what tools you use. The problems are complex and they don't become simpler ju

The call offered here is optional isn't it? You can engage entirely over email for enterprise deals.

If I had to listen to this sort of shit on a daily basis I think I'd begin to understand why you all over the water are upset about the prospect of people taking away your big shooty guns.

What purpose would punishing the Electoral Commission with a fine serve? It's a public body funded by taxpayer money. They should simply be looking to prevent a re-occurrence and a fine on this type of organisation wouldn't help.

Still perfectly relevant today as well.

Sometimes I end up watching US TV with US ads on some stream. They are horrifying and amusing all at once. The idea that prescription medication is marketed to the general public on TV is entirely foreign to me, the descriptions of conditi

Exactly right. Warp have defined their market as vanishingly small here.

I've found it commonplace these days at least in europe that organisations use SSO via an identity provider that requires MFA for everything they can - even clients who are banks and utilities that usually move at a glacial pace. The l

Ubiquity has a quality all of its own. Yes CSV is a pain in many regards, but many of the difficulties with it arise from the fact that anybody can produce it with very little tool support - which is also the reason it is so widely used. Re

An aside but this is giving me ClearCase config_spec vibes. Memory is hazy - possibly due to trauma - but you could create a config_spec which would make your view (roughly: working tree) pick up different bits of the filesystem from differ

We're relatively small GCP users (low six figures) and have monthly cadence meetings with our Google account manager. They're very accommodating, and will help with contacts, events and marketing.
