@GergelyOrosz N26 had this for bank transfers over the summer and never even announced it! Just would get a message 30 seconds after initiating that it failed. Had to ask support what was wrong and they didn’t even know until they checked!

@BiggestComeback Salted, in fridge uncovered for at least an hour, ideally up to 24 hours before.
Reverse sear with a temp probe in the oven as low as it goes.
Once at desired temp, sear in the heaviest pan you have. Cast iron, stainless, whatever. Mix of olive oil and butter, tallow, whatever.

@sdamico “The Bitter Truth”

The look of a real Murphy’s lover forced to drink the third best stout

[Mark Malone @soundmigration]

Mark Zuckerberg pretending to enjoy Guinness is my new favourite thing.

Need similar in Ireland. Expedited/simplified planning permission process that flips the obligation to a “why not”

[Sam D'Amico @sdamico]

Should have a state law where if vacancy drops below 5%, we legalize constructing anything that passes fire code

[Braden Henrichs @bradenhenrichs]

Now just need this kind of thinking applied to Gemini strategy!

We are making Markdown files work natively across Google Drive and Docs.

You can now preview .md files in Drive, open them in Docs, edit them, comment on them, and collaborate without converting the file into a Google Doc!

@simonsarris @ja3k_ Gemini is still poor, enterprise approach is lacking coherency, and Google can’t be trusted to not rug pull critical features in the future. It’s why they struggle with GCP so much. Google have the best video models but no one wants to touch them for anything critical.

[Braden Henrichs @bradenhenrichs]

@Ruesavatar About as good as a roll from Centra? Can’t be better

[Braden Henrichs @bradenhenrichs]

@Empty_America High pile rug + shoe area is gross though. Flatweave or Persian style for high traffic areas

[Braden Henrichs @bradenhenrichs]

Happy to keep up the trend

[Joe Weisenthal @TheStalwart]

Everyone else I’ve seen posting their scores is way higher than me.

[Braden Henrichs @bradenhenrichs]

@simonsarris I think it’s Japan that tax on use as well and they change it over time to encourage and discourage based on changing needs. Basically always encouraging the most efficient/most good use. Discourages empty lots in cities.

[Braden Henrichs @bradenhenrichs]

@simonsarris Most important thing to do first for designing the garden when it’s just a blank slate?

[Braden Henrichs @bradenhenrichs]

We’ve come full circle though. The new super strong dish detergents like Dawn Power Wash have solvents in them that will dissolve the seasoning.

[Wiz Fajita @trillary_banks_]

The reason you couldn’t wash your cast iron was because of lye in dish detergent, which hasn’t contained lye in like 40 fucking years. Now your apple turnovers taste like fish for no reason, wash that shit out

[Braden Henrichs @bradenhenrichs]

@Empty_America @PostOakEnjoyer @clark_canepa Size of sand matters as well. For something like this you want finer sand, maybe 3mm, whereas for pointing you’d use 5mm.

[Braden Henrichs @bradenhenrichs]

@clairevo is there a version of your AI Readiness Assessment that non-tech functions can take? Finance, marketing, etc.

[Braden Henrichs @bradenhenrichs]

@GergelyOrosz What’s funny is that AWS is so reliable historically they seem to have the biggest shortage now while you can get what you need from Google because they’ve always had less demand!

[Braden Henrichs @bradenhenrichs]

Agree. Fable as long as I have tokens, then Opus 4.8 max.

[Gergely Orosz @GergelyOrosz]

I have to admit, I have zero excitement about this latest flurry of new model releases

I am sure they are all better, but the existing ones were more than good enough, and I'm learning how much to trust those existing ones... and already they do more than I can utilize them (for writing code)

So no, I'm not particularly excited about Fable 5.1 or Astra or anything else - what would I use it for??

[Braden Henrichs @bradenhenrichs]

True except for image and video related work. They really are the best for those

[Alex Cohen @anothercohen]

It's kind of amazing how our entire company runs on G Suite and yet we never use Gemini for anything work related.

I can't even remember the last time I used Gemini work even though its embedded in every Google surface area... I just default to ChatGPT because it works

[Braden Henrichs @bradenhenrichs]

@Empty_America I pay the equivalent of $7.90 per gallon here in Ireland and still drive 75 on the highway. Time saved is time saved.

[Braden Henrichs @bradenhenrichs]

This. A local model on my phone for basic day to day stuff is the dream.

[Gergely Orosz @GergelyOrosz]

Also, local models seem inevitable.

I want to be able to run a “good enough” model on my laptop, or even on my phone, and not depend on paying for an API that changes prices in ways I don’t control.

AI labs will hate this idea of the future, cloud providers will love it tho.
