"There are privacy implications as the email transmission informs the mail service the applications the user is using and when they used them."

Not really, as I can enter any email on a service login page that uses magic links for auth. The owner of that email will receive the login link but that doesn't mean they tried to login on that system.


Not really indeed. You're right that false positive are possible with such a system, but false negatives are not. That means that you're leaking information about when a user didn't use a service, as well as partial information about when the did (which you could combine with other data to tell you something meaningful).

Forget about performance, specially in a 2d game like this one. Focus on making it fun (really-really fun is possible).

I have played games that didn't performed so well because they were so fun. Games are about fun, anything else (narrative, performance, sound...) is secondary.


If frames are dropping, it's likely not fun.

For technical questions the agreeableness is a problem when asking for evalation of some idea. The trick is asking the LLM to present pros and cons. Or if you want a harder review just ask it to poke holes in your idea.

Sometimes it still tries to bullshit you, but you are still the responsible driver so don't let the clanker drive unsupervised.


I did something similar but as a Chrome extension using Gemini 2.5 Flash (or Flash Lite) for summarizing.

On the page it shows an extra TLDR button near the like button.

You can change the prompt to modify how the summary looks and has an optional mode with links to specific timestamps.


Coincidentally yesterday I was reading the Cybernetics Wikipedia page and discovered the relation between it and Kubernetes.

I'm having a Baader-Meinhof effect moment right now :)


Don't you find liberating that any human, no matter how powerful they may be, how good or bad they are, cannot escape from death?

Maybe it sounds a little dark or edgy, but this thought gives me peace. Imagine what an immortal tyrant could do to humanity...


Yet he was surrounded by his family by the very end. Pretty much died under his conditions, unlike all the other lives he affected

There's apparently an old Japanese saying that goes "Asleep, one mat; awake, half a mat." It refers to the space on a mat that everyone, even the Emperor, occupies.

Straight from The Great Dictator.

"The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish."


Until you learn it's not individuals, but groups of them with ideas that persist for multiple generations.

“Behind this mask there is more than just flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea... and ideas are bulletproof.”

Tomorrow is the 5th of November after all.


> Imagine what an immortal tyrant could do to humanity...

I'd imagine an immortal tyrant would do nothing to humanity since humanity would be insignificant to him.


The great equalizer

(Interestingly, some of the world's dictators do seem to have an interest in the current state of the art in prolonging life. For example Xi and Putin chatted about organ replacement https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cr70rvrd41ko)

Just suggest to him to implement or supervise the creation of a system like that ON HIS RESPONSIBILITY. That is, if the system fails and loses company/client money he has to pay it from his own account.

Then tell us what how he sees that 5% error rate.


From what I remember reading on some tutorial about Random Tree classifiers banks on the USA have to justify the specific reasons why a credit was denied, so hence why blackbox models cannot be used for this.

I'm not sure that's a sufficient argument.

1. Laws can change.

2. Blackbox models can provide specific reasons, even if they need to hallucinate them.


First they renamed master to main, and I did not speak out—because I had already updated my repos. Then they removed the term whitelist, and I did not speak out—because I used allowlist anyway. Then they tried to rename GIMP, and I did not speak out—because I used Photoshop. Then they came for the unicorns, and there was no magic left to deploy.

Was GIMP being renamed a project stance or just something someone tried to do? I can't find anything about it. But their website says they have no intent to change it.

I actually got excited for a second when the parent comment suggested that GIMP was renaming itself. I hate that name.

Every time I type git, I feel insulted by linus.

It's amazing that the western world's largest social network for programmers has an insult built right into the name. We're inches away from the whole thing being called "tardhub".

You should have an alias anyway

Not tasteful to play on this given the actual origins of this poem, but thanks for teaching me that GIMP was about to be renamed.

Sometimes I think what's the worst it could happen if Google decided to delete my main personal account that I use for everything: banking, utilities...

I guess it would a hassle to go to the bank but loosing some images or old emails wouldn't be so catastrophic TBH. Maybe being somewhat nihilistic/minimalist I think that it all will still be lost when I die, so why trying to grasp those things? In some sense it's kind of liberating not depending too much on these kind of things.


Google offers takeout to download your data so you can keep a backup. I run it twice a year and keep a backup copy local and remote.
