@mim_djo I joked to my team that mentioning using Fable for stuff is the new "I Am Rich" app 😂

@peeplaja Vectorization. LLM transformers don't actually operate directly on language, only on (largely numeric) abstractions of it.

Fascinating how well they do with language despite this.

@antigravity Now please make it work with WSL like the IDE does 😭

@dccommonsense The law has been on the books since 1996 then at $5K, adjusted to the current $2.5K in 2005.

Is your concern about its enforcement or its existence? Do you have the same issue with the 2015 FAST act (which does the same for delinquent taxes)?

Is this a constitutional concern?

@googlecloud "Next '16"—retro edition!

[Justin Beasley @justbeez]

@peeplaja Agreed, but in a world where compliance theater is required, dealing with SOC2 via tools like Vanta is at least way less painful than without. Not cheaper, but at least less painful.

But I feel like AI is about to show everyone just how fragile control-based compliance is.

@HarrisonAmy You'll know for sure if you wake up tomorrow in a bathtub of ice missing a kidney 😂

@lsanger Surprised by the almost complete lack of Omarchy in these replies (maybe because of the term "distro"?)

[Justin Beasley @justbeez]

@unclebobmartin Think of it as very expensive rubber duck debugging 😂

[Justin Beasley @justbeez]

@cgenco We did opt to return a unique error code (a 419 which is the common CSRF mismatch code in several PHP frameworks already, inc. Laravel). Thus far the only thing we've lost is annoying false-positives and a bunch of async token refresh requests we don't have to handle anymore! :)

[Justin Beasley @justbeez]

@cgenco We dropped it completely since we don't support legacy browsers (e.g. IE11/Edge Legacy Mode). Most other scripting use cases could be handled otherwise or exist outside our primary app (e.g. Cloud Functions invoked from internal services). A couple routes we disabled the check.

@lsanger @DeplorableSEO THIS. We need to make "I used em-dashes properly before LLMs" t-shirts.

[Justin Beasley @justbeez]

@lsanger I think that to achieve this (and partly because of western individualism), we also create structures with low accountability. We isolate those at the top from the average church member, and create an echo chamber of people who have the most to gain in overlooking sin.

[Justin Beasley @justbeez]

@lsanger I think we value talent and charisma over faithfulness and character.

But at its core, there's a lot of bad theology of what the Christian life is.

We, like Israel of old, want a king other than the Lord—because we want our own kingdom (and want to be like the world around us).

[Justin Beasley @justbeez]

@lsanger 50. Do I get a prize 😂

[Justin Beasley @justbeez]

@LukeW I feel like "useful idiot" would typically be more apt in a lot of these cases 😂

[Justin Beasley @justbeez]

@peeplaja In my experience this is much more about the way that some orgs work with regard to trust and accounting processes. I know of one where anything on a credit card has to be personally set up by the CFO. And he won't do wires because of "security" 😂

[Justin Beasley @justbeez]

@peeplaja @AnalyticsNinja Even just a starting price. Let me qualify or disqualify myself for you—we'll both be better off!
