@meetshukla_ What Higgsfield is doing, as a business, should be illegal. Nothing good can come of this in general.

[Eugene Meidinger @SQLGene]

@karishnu Huh! I wasn't aware that was an option

[Eugene Meidinger @SQLGene]

@karishnu How could they possibly benefit from weak keys they already control? I may be missing obvious but I don't get it

[Eugene Meidinger @SQLGene]

@anthonyronning They might also just eat the cost on some and not cache it

[Eugene Meidinger @SQLGene]

@kunchenguid Because they don't ship their org chart like OpenAI does 😛

@NathanpmYoung Well played

People are trusting personal agents to move money between accounts? 👀😬

[Robert Youssef @rryssf]

Duet's hardest job is deciding when to interrupt you, (like all proactive agents) and Anthropic says it's still tuning that.

Its own FAQ warns it can misread a thread, misjudge what's urgent, or miss something that lands between check-ins.

Before you join the waitlist: the background check-ins count against your Pro or Max limits. It asks before it sends, pays, signs or deletes, and some actions stay off-limits even with your approval, like moving money between accounts.

@TheAmolAvasare Are you all going to finally have good support for MS Teams instead of just Slack? 😜

[Eugene Meidinger @SQLGene]

@blueemi99 Eh, it feels like they are taking a more timid approach in order to optimize for better safety. Fits their brand, but still

@treetowntree Two subscriptions so Claude Duet Duet?

@kognise7 @dunyaverse I find that if I'm tired or unfocused, a verbal infodump is fewer bits per word but way way faster and easier than typing. And the AI can figure out what I intended.

Same with how I can type with dozens of typos and it still gets it.

PHP defenders right now.

I'm a few hundred puzzles into Order of the Sinking Star, and it is, indeed, fantastic. Yes, it's a box pushing game, but it plans to be the LAST box pushing game. No meat will be left on the bones.

The puzzles are really well put together. Compact. No extra elements. You are given a seemingly impossible situation and you have to explore the capabilities of the few parts you are given and figure out a new way to use them. Really ingenious stuff in here.

Highly recommended. I've already gotten well over the $30 worth, and I have a LONG way to go.

@gavinpurcell We can still be upset about the impacts, even after the Rubicon crossing

@ChrisGPotts @yoavgo Astra tends to write code without spaces. Distillation?

[Eugene Meidinger @SQLGene]

@tommypuglia I just referenced your episode on Translytical being more than write-back

Fantasy computer security problems: "Maybe by sending packets and detecting the timing of the vibrations of the computer case, it is possible for an attacker to gain information about the private key."

Real computer security problems: "The private key was 4. Not 4 digits. 4."

I'm starting to see any user interface for data entry as obsolete. And any missing visualization of the data entered/available/stored as a missing feature.

Is there a real designer out there who spent valuable time figuring out what a service or app should be?
I haven't seen or read anything valuable yet.
