É um privilégio assistir Paulo Henrique Ganso jogar futebol. Joga de fraque, o maestro.

that role is usually played by VCs and LinkedIn thought leadership posting folks. And that’s a cohort that rarely engage in substantive conversations, in my experience.

Edinburgh castle failing to render, likely thanks to the AWS outage

This remains the funniest way to hear about an internet outage, though.

The joy of being on-call when us-east-1 goes down.

Claude Sonnet 4.5 is the only one that got it right and made no mistakes.

Copilot can’t even identify the mistake.

Wait, 100k per year? Does that apply to existing H-1Bs?

AI slop security reports submitted to curl AI slop security reports submitted to curl. GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets.

maybe it’s time for a more widespread adoption of a “no ai slop” policy like the one curl has: gist.github.com/bagder/07f75...

Unfortunately Console.ReadLine doesn’t have an overload that allows passing the prompt string like IO.readln does, otherwise we could make this a one-liner.

Console.WriteLine(“What is your name?”);
Console.WriteLine($”Hello, {Console.ReadLine()}”);

"Microsoft also warns against using the AI function for numerical calculations or in “high-stakes scenarios” with legal, regulatory, and compliance implications, as COPILOT “can give incorrect responses.”"

Because who doesn't love nondeterministic spreadsheets?

E semana passada paguei com Pix no Chile.
