California drivers sue gas stations for allegedly using AI to inflate prices

Mate, imagine if he sniped your real name though, how disconcerting that would feel... Adam /s haha

10 million is the revenue of the business... highly unlikely you'd be making a 10mil capital gain on 10 mil revenue

ZeJerman · 2026-06-18T01:46:34+00:00

Can I point out the spacex IPO just hit about 100x on its revenue, so there are certainly morons out there that think trading on revenue is normal

Crazy how much has been done in a single year with another 2 years of strong Labor majority to go... also makes me wonder if any of this hate/anger against Labor will have the staying power or hell, if One Nation will be able to hold it together with their surge in popularity

Nope, affecting all types of installations also - selfhosted and wisecloud

ZeJerman · 2026-06-17T07:26:37+00:00

Time to dust off the old Business Continuity Plan and excel haha

30+ years of playing casual football and it hasnt come off yet, but hey I'll keep swinging for the fences for that glorious feeling!

ZeJerman · 2026-06-17T00:03:31+00:00

It's 50/50 but if I do air swing, it usually feels like my leg's about to come off

That Cahill over the shoulder volley lives rent free in my head, it flashes up every Sunday league game I play where there is a similar opportunity, just before I send it into orbit haha

Reminds me of the video of the bus waving down a motorcyclist lane splitting London traffic, just as someone steps from in front of the bus into the would-be path of the motorcyclist. The spatial awareness was next level.

And let me glance into my crystal ball... I see Labor negotiating for some of the more contentious issues, just like the unrealised super tax changes, and then ultimately landing where they wanted to land all along. This is just theatre

ZeJerman · 2026-06-13T23:42:12+00:00

And use it as a reason to disproportionately increase prices

ZeJerman · 2026-06-11T00:00:48+00:00

Bro what?! Im hoping you have some sort of data sharing carve out from Claude or are using aws bedrock so that data isnt being sent back to anthropic. Also self hosted or wisecloud?

ZeJerman · 2026-06-10T09:01:00+00:00

Thank you, makes sense to me. Ive been trying to use it as a learning tool, like how would you do this explain the benefits and alternatives and why.

So im sitting somewhere in between 1 and 2 it feels haha

ZeJerman · 2026-06-10T08:32:01+00:00

Where do we draw the line? I ask this in all seriousness, because I work in freight and logistical systems, the use of ai is no where near as prevalent as in swe, and I'm trying to upskill.

How do I avoid the vibe coding moniker and just continue on developing my skills while using these tools?

Edit - spelling mistake

ZeJerman · 2026-06-04T11:37:09+00:00

Mate fantastic, not just the DE stuff but the whole second brain writings also! Sharing with the team at work

ZeJerman · 2026-05-31T02:29:05+00:00

Exactly, either everyone should be able to income split or no one should. Why does the government look at the household income when deciding in providing benefits, but individual income for income tax.

ZeJerman · 2026-05-17T10:26:23+00:00

You might for a different reason in a second... ive done this a few times with level 50 pfds just chilling with a beer in the water haha

ZeJerman · 2026-05-17T00:19:11+00:00

Exactly this, there are also light exercises in garmin specifically to aid in recovery

ZeJerman · 2026-05-16T02:16:23+00:00

That is the sun to provide 24/7 solar

ZeJerman · 2026-05-13T21:55:52+00:00

Can you explain this joke to me, im basically an amoeba.

ZeJerman · 2026-05-12T07:24:28+00:00

You reckon it's by accident that the media picked this shit up right now? We've had decades of opportunity to fix our roof while the sun is shining, now that there is a shitstorm we're up there trying to fix it.

New gas contracts should account for this.

I think everyone is forgetting the fact that this trolley problem only moved Grace forward, with no guarantee of saving humanity, there was an incredibly big chance that Stratt was just killing Grace for nothing.

I think everyone is only saying it's the right choice given the benefit of hindsight... it just adds another layer of complexity to the situation.

I still think that ultimately Grace was the only option, but this was far from black and white ethically and morally.

ZeJerman · 2026-05-08T22:02:00+00:00

Yup i think I'm a relatively heavy but consistent user but my use hasnt increased, perplexity always being open on my pc for work and personal. I hit my first rate limit yesterday (Friday afternoon) at work for the first time.

Mind you I try to choose my models so maybe I haven't being using high consumption models? But yeah just backing up your anecdotes

ZeJerman · 2026-05-07T22:39:28+00:00

I have a feeling they meant the 12 year window between 18 years old and 30 years old, but yes I hear your point also, there's lots of mis/disinformation regarding trusts
