@mymoneyview My point exactly @mymoneyview I never applied for a loan. Some Joe Schmoe applied, and some wise person decided to stick my email address on the application. DM coming up ...

Dear @mymoneyview how does one get in touch with you? Email to care@ goes unresponded, and I can't get through to your phone number. In the ongoing saga of "I'm not the Amrith Kumar you want" (see https://t.co/p2bIFzHtMf) you sent me a 100 page credit report of one of

your customers. No password, no protection, nothing. His PAN, voter registration, ration card, address, workplace, income, loan history (quite bad), ...

What protections does your customer have around data privacy and protection?

@jaypipes @JulieVPipes nice!! I still have a picture in which you look a lot like that, let me go search the interwebs ...

Yes, sounds about right. I think “stupid person’s idea of a clever person” is a good description of regenerative AI as it stands today.

[source: A review of “The Olive Tree” published in Spectator, 11 December 1936, page 23, 24].

Elizabeth Bowen, writing about Aldous Huxley in 1936 applies just as well to #regenerative #AI today 🤔

“Mr. Huxley has been the alarming young man for a long time, a sort of perpetual clever nephew who can be relied on to flutter the lunch-party. Whatever will he say next?

he is expected to be relentless, to administer intellectual shocks. This attitude to Mr. Huxley, to which his early work has been given credit has been maintained, and strengthened, for about twenty years.”

@jeremy_daly Makes good sense, if you are buying a pallet of anvils, a battleship, or a large aircraft.

@somu_peri I tried to fold my pixel 7 and it didn't work very well after that. These guys may be on to something here.

@thealexkates It is the blinky thing where you type. You can move it around with the mose and it stops where you click.

@prithviontwtr @alexbdebrie @elrowan I know that you said "query" an index. With DynamoDB Shell, you don't need to think about GetItem, Query and Scan. You pick the target and the where clause. The first of GetItem, Query or Scan that will work will be chosen (most efficient). EXPLAIN will tell you which!

[@hypecycles.com on BlueSky @amrithkumar]

@prithviontwtr @alexbdebrie @elrowan Querying of indexes is supported (from the very beginning IIRC).

CREATE TABLE CUSTOMER (...) GSI ( SOMEGSI ...) ...;

SELECT * FROM CUSTOMER.SOMEGSI WHERE ...;

The syntax is <table> (dot) <gsi or lsi>

@alexbdebrie @elrowan Thanks @alexbdebrie .. Absolutely - exploratory, scripting, maintenance, education, ... You should check out v0.5 (binaries available for linux, homebrew on mac) which supports rate limited queries.
