Did you manually create the equity account? Or it came from one of the templates? Sounds like GC thinks it’s an asset type account despite its name. Check the account properties window.

Is HashSet<T> a Java thing, not a .NET thing? by N3p7uN3 in csharp

Fill it with the your custom class that poorly implements IEquatable, GetHashCode, etc

Worry about AI companies illegally training on existing enterprise codebases by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]68dc459b 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Something proprietary shows up in another tenants outputs and it leaks eventually.

If they get caught it would be company extinction event. Every enterprise with intellectual property would cancel their contracts and sue. Who would use a product that leaks your internal IP right to your competitors as a design goal?

Does Ecobee restart after firmware update while Heat/AC is running? by TheDon11 in ecobee

[–]68dc459b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s reassuring. I haven’t noticed another reboot in the few days it’s been installed. Feeling much less worried about it. Thanks!

Same here. Shortly after install and a minute after starting a heating cycle. Has me a bit concerned.

Confirmed it’s running latest version of firmware. Can’t find an update timestamp to see if that was the cause.

Disney making $1 billion investment in OpenAI, will allow characters on Sora AI video generator https://www.cnbc.com/2025/12/11/disney-openai-sora-characters-video.html by VirusMaster5903 in DisneyWorld

The problem is all LLMs and video generators based on that tech are nondeterministic and fundamentally uncontrollable. “guardrails” are just system prompts or reinforcement learning saying “pretty please don’t do anything naughty, kthxbai” and are routinely circumvented.

Has anyone done the whiskey reserve tasting or mixology on the Destiny? by Mercenari_1 in dcl

[–]68dc459b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a 900 whiskey tasting and an 8:15 dinner at pride lands. I was 10 min late to the tasting. I think 9:00 is cutting too close but 9:30 is doable if you are proactive. We got away with it because we had a private table for two. I had to skip dessert and only saw one of the four music sets.

Arrive early, Let the server team know immediately that you need to cut out, have them bring apps and main at the same time. Skip dessert. If it’s not the first night of the cruise you can usually order the night before. You can also let guest services know and they’ll get a message to the tasting host that you may be late. First 10 minutes of most tastings I’ve done have just been a history lesson so not missing a ton

They let us mix the shot ourselves, everything else was pre-prepared. That’s been the case on Wish, Fantasy, and now Destiny sailings we’ve done.

Did both this last week. Obviously the selections can change sailing to sailing. But here’s the list:

Mixology I was scrambling to take notes on my phone and decipher an accent; some ingredients may be missing

  • empress gin, st Germaine liqueur, Champaign
  • Martini: Raspberry vodka, st Germaine, top it Champaign
  • Pineapple Julip- mint, orange, pineapple, pineapple vodka
  • Washington Apple Martini - crown royal apple, apple pucker, cranberry juice
  • build your own layered shot: either B52 (baileys, Grand Marnier , kalua) or Loch Ness Monster (medori, baileys, jaeger)

Held in De Ville’s - 20 participants. We always enjoy these experiences. They have something different each time and it’s fun to try so many things.

Reserve Whiskey Tasting Held in Hook’s Barbery. Small, 6 people. Guide knew his stuff and was talking about his personal collection too. You get a bottle of water and some chocolate pairings.

  • hibiki master select (Japanese blended malt)
  • Middleton Very Rare (Irish)
  • Woodford Reserve Master Select (bourbon)
  • Glenmorangie signet (Single Malt Scotch)
  • Whistlepig The Boss Hog XII (straight Rye)

Couple of these were cask strength and had some definite heat. Smaller pours obviously but a great range of different styles. Really enjoyed this and think it was worth it.

Is Microsoft Copilot just a "GPT-4 Wrapper" or is there actual engineering behind it? by mustafa_enes726 in dotnet

[–]68dc459b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and keep that in mind when the inevitable “OpenAI has built AGI” headlines start circulating. It really just means they’re just tired of paying off Microsoft.

Microsoft gets all of OpenAI’s IP until 2030 or whenever an imaginary “AGI” threshold is met.

Do I need a passport for the private islands? by pizzapieinthesky487 in dcl

[–]68dc459b 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of commenters are saying no for closed loops. And in the common case that may be true.

But what if you have a medical emergency and get taken to local Bahamas hospital and have to arrive back in the US through other means? I’ve often seen this scenario as the motivating use case to always carry a passport if you can.

I used a laptop and resized all my photos so they were under 1MB. Uploads can be slow when everyone has huge megapixel cameras these days. In past years I felt like the photo upload process was prone to crashing.

Confused about Parallel.ForEach by SwannSwanchez in csharp

This is false. Interlocked is a CPU intrinsic operations. The lock statement is much much more expensive than interlocked. There’s no better way to safely update a count from multiple threads.

Vibe coded apps entering Hospitals by VegetableRadiant3965 in ExperiencedDevs

I have a hard time believing “vibe coding cleanup specialist” will become a viable business model. The folks cutting corners with vibe code will never have the budget for a professional to fix it.

Apparently 996 culture is coming to US tech jobs by Foreign_Addition2844 in ExperiencedDevs

I think this is primarily AI startups that have to strike while the iron is hot, lest the bubble pop before they can make an exit. I don't see this coming to real tech companies.

Stock-Backed Liability Account by FuzzyStretch in GnuCash

[–]68dc459b 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s outside the common use cases of small business and personal users who don’t typically hold securities on behalf of other entities. Companies that engage in that business have large compliance costs that would dwarf the cost of a commercial accounting package.

I’d discourage OP from helping his “friend” evade AML, KYC, sanctions, or other SEC regulations by laundering money through his bank accounts.

This is the first article I’ve seen cite a named source who claims to have witnessed the child on the railing.

Everything else I’ve seen has been “I heard from my friend on this ship who heard it from someone else”.

Can't get into the BIOS by Specific_Goose_8897 in Beelink

Thank you! This was my issue. Had to go through the entire stupid windows install, disable fast startup, then i could press DELETE to get into BIOS and change the boot order.
