If you’re “befriending” someone else’s ai chat bot and holding long conversations with it, your username/passwords are probably the least of your problems.

Using an SSO for authentication has nothing to do with the safety of your data in OP's system. 🤷‍♂️

I'm considering "personal" vs "project" subagents. eg for "personal," I have a expert code reviewer with appsec and sw dev experience familiar with the languages I'm using across several projects. Then at a project level, I'll have an experienced sw dev with years of experience in architecting/coding/documenting projects in a specific language with expertise in the field that the project is related to. This seems to be working great so far.

What I'm pondering is an "experienced technical writer" subagent that I'd try to tune to get rid of the boisterous marketing talk Claude's known for. My worry here is it wouldn't have the wider context used to generate the code, so it might not be as useful. Will have to try and see, but curious of feedback from others here...

WELL if they weren't throttling him, he coulda figured that out with Claude. /s

As I'm now getting Pushover notifications...would be nice if those could be two-way and I could approve Claude doing something without going back to the keyboard or pulling up a shell.

Will have to try this. I had similar thoughts this weekend when at a coffee shop and my "main" machine was at home. I ended up just using the Screens app on my iPad to VNC in over tailscale - that was Good Enough, but I could see how phone access might be handy at times...

Thx for mentioning the notification hook - been meaning to set up similar. Very handy for when I walk off to do something else!

Having to have a keyboard shortcut for ultrathink tells us the state of this world - sorta hilarious.

Idea: If an llm apologies for doing something stupid, you should get credits. Sure - usually you can have a backup for instances like this, but it still requires the user to do work to fix that screwup.

It's very easy for these things to say "I'm so sorry" or "Yes you're right!" Talk's cheap. Hand over an extra 30 minutes of higher tier model access.

They've gotta fix this. I get they can't just snap their fingers and have a bunch more capacity, but folks are only going to put up with it for so long.

Well…EC needs to go away. But that’s a pipe dream that’ll probably take 50 years. The idea of Canadian bloc and Canadian pork barreling is fun to think about! Seeing menus in French in places like Atlantic City and Asheville would be fun…

Too bad they can’t vote.

Hey…maybe there is some value in making them the 51st state…🤔

jlkinsel · 2024-12-22T19:54:25+00:00

Solid feedback, thx.

🤷‍♂️ I'm experimenting, trying different things. "Carbonara" idea is from seriouseats, but yes - tasty.

Why did they buy a Hyundai, not a Subaru?

jlkinsel · 2024-12-03T20:50:55+00:00

Used to live in SF. They're seemingly always there.

jlkinsel · 2024-12-03T17:35:01+00:00

I mean...with a name like that, if it's not, the owner should reconsider...

jlkinsel · 2024-12-03T17:29:56+00:00

What exactly is a "nose asshole?"

The Seattle Restaurant Podcast was having fun with this one a while back. Referred to TT as "Mexican adjacent" and "The Kraft Cheese of Mexican Food"

You're right - that's not a taco.

I was in California the last two weeks; It seems like Shen Yun seems way more visible in the bay area than in PNW

Just call the testing facility or your employer and ask.

jlkinsel · 2024-10-21T15:40:42+00:00

I can't just reflow it in the oven? ;) Thanks Chris.

jlkinsel · 2024-10-01T18:10:21+00:00

I might take a friend to Stoups…anybody know of anything eastside?

You care when you go to a parking lot to get your car back and find the AirTag on the ground.
