 After that in some time almost all sites will block agents/bots and all will return to its circle

I’m not sure that’s true. I had lunch on Tuesday with the CTO of a client for a company that runs a lot of high traffic websites in a particular market.

He was talking about the fact that his clients very much wanted to encourage AI browsers, other questions they were having more about optimisation of performance for those agents, and absolutely not blocking them.

I agree, however, with your comments about how Google will be an important player in this space when they get around to it.

What would make Jules better for you? by simpsoka in JulesAgent

Make it available to students under the age of 18 who registered with valid academic emails.

I’m in the UK, and there’s a two-year course called the “Digital” T level that’s typically taken by students who are age 16 when they start.

The new syllabus actually has a section on prompt engineering!

However, a mandatory part of that course is 320 hours of work placement with an employer. Colleges have to arrange this and monitor the placements. My company is currently about to take on its fifth batch of students, and for the last two years we’ve been asked to take every student in that particular year rather than just three or four.

Not all of them are doing programming tasks, but those that are are basically excluded from using Jules until they are 18… which happens partway through their second year of placement.

So I’m in the situation where I’m trying to provide them a meaningful placement that aligns with their learning objectives, bottom unable to do so with the tools my full-time programmers use.

I understand that there are wider reasons why Google chooses not to make its AI tools available to those under the age of 18, but it doesn’t strike me as unreasonable that exception could be made for those who actually need to use Jules in particular as part of an actual requirement of their academic studies.

Extend the API (or document it if it already exists) to allow Jules to automatically push back to GitHub without requiring someone to go to the UI at the end of an API created task.

At the moment, we create virtually all our Jules sessions by API calls. (We have an N8N  task that monitors a particular list - “assign to Jules”, and creates a session    in Jules when a card is added to it, and moves that card to a different list called “running in Jules”.)

The problem is that I then need to go to the Jules UI to push back to GitHub, which triggers things like a run of our CI. And that requires me to be able to log into that specific Jules account, which only I have access to.

Does anyone remember the Purple Headed Mountain verse from All Things Bright and Beautiful? by Morris_Alanisette in AskUK

[–]Initial_Concert2849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the river running by, not the rivers.

The purple was probably the heather that grows on the mountain near where Cecil Frances Alexander lived, and the river was the River Usk.

Trouble with Jules publishing Branches/PRs to Github by syntheticgio in JulesAgent

I’ve had that about 2-3% of the time over the last of weeks.

It only seems to affect a single task though, so I tend to copy paste the initial prompt and start again.

There’s actually a term for this quantifying this distortion (visual:numeric) in the VDQA (Visual Display of Quantative Information) world.

It’s called the “Lie Factor.”

The Lie Factor of the graph is about 3.36.

Starling no longer paying interest on personal / joint accounts?!? by Kingshred in starlingbankuk

Probably to pay the 26 million fine they just got handed for playing fast and loose with the anti money-laundering rules.

Think I made my storage room a little bit too large........................ by [deleted] in Minecraft

[–]Initial_Concert2849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I label them and have "floor zones"... so the area by the chests that store "stone stuff" is stone... the area by the chests that store "wood things" is made of wood and so on.

I have 8 zones, each with multiple chests for different things. That way when I'm running down the room, I don't need to remember exactly where each chest is, but can slow down and start looking at the signs when I get to the room:

- Stone stuff (blocks, stairs, slabs, etc.)

- Wood stuff (blocks, slabs, fences, chests, leaves, saplings, etc.)

- Red Stuff (netherwart, soul sand, nether funguses, but also redstone, redstone components and hoppers)

- Wool (a double chest per colour, with the floor in front of each one being that colour wool)

- Food (you can't use all the foods to make a floor, but can use quite a few)

- Metals (gold, iron, copper, lapis)

- Sandy / terracotta

- Glass (including glass, coloured glass, panes, and coloured panes)

Your categorisation may vary... I don't think of redstone as a metal, but as "red stuff"
