Just stumbled on the Model Context Protocol https://t.co/jfBpsrKUCB—a standardized way to connect data sources to AI applications for more deterministic LLM outputs. How are you thinking about #AISafety?

@TheOfficialSBI piling on multiple #captchas on top of #2FA in online banking, doesn’t plug many extra holes; it just causes nuisance & slows users down. Modern bots can beat captchas anyway. You are doubling up for no good reason - other banks streamline this better.

Crude reminder of why securing legacy systems is as crucial as securing production ones.

The open-source software landscape is undergoing a shift due to a surge in tech layoffs, potentially impacting many projects whose contributors are now unemployed or moving to less open-friendly companies https://t.co/U4ClmR7cZv #oss

In a bold move, we left the cloud, opting for self-owned servers. The result? Massive savings - $1M a year and a seamless transition.

During times of conflict and suffering, we can only hope that outsiders who are not immediately affected will nurture seeds of peace. The job of intellectuals, artists and scholars is to try and go deeper. To try and see the complexity of reality, especially in today's climate of post-truth. It feels intellectually and emotionally lazy to just pick a side.

Take a bow King Kohli. You're well and truly back. What a champion 🙏

How long until we realise, maybe its time to bring Rishi back?

I could tweet this at least once a week. Work small, boil things down to its essence, be intentional & diligent in adding to it later.

A step towards better #observability on #Azure. Being able to support multiple data sources that may hold your telemetry data is very interesting https://t.co/gaJGaSyet8

@UberUKsupport Thank you for waisting my time again. After providing all the information requested via DM- email address, mobile number linked with the account along with the order ID, @UberUKsupport stopped responding. In the name of providing discounts #UberEats is a total scam

[Hemant Kumar @_hemantksingh]

Thanks @UberEats for providing an offer and then stealthily charging the full amount on checkout. Refusing to provide a refund after multiple emails was the icing on top #ubereatsscam

[Hemant Kumar @_hemantksingh]

@UberUKsupport Did that now, lets see what you can do, coz Uber Support via email simply refused to refund

Our batting and bowling was absolutely fine. It was all the fault of the tv crew and sponsors https://t.co/75Tzgazwg5

Who would've thought these 2 would be the finalists before the tournament began. Both semifinal matches were great though, hope the final lives up to it too 👍🏽 #T20WorldCup21

@lastminute_com Why do you not inform customers before making the booking that it can take up to 72 hours for you to confirm a flight ticket? Leaving us in limbo for 3 days and refusing to provide a full refund in case you want to cancel, your way of serving customers?

Well done to #LetsEncrypt for sticking to its plan of making HTTPS easy and cheap to add even to the tiniest website, and thanks to IdenTrust for vouching for Let’s Encrypt back in the early days.
