    That all random game and messaging sites now wants my kids' passport uploaded to some random 'id verification company' is madness. But now instead, my 11 year old's Roblox thinks s…

    Only when chatting in a large channel at work, did I realise nearly 1/3 of the people there also set theirs as 1/1/1970. Which I presume is the first date that phisers will try to …

    Many startups that build features which sit on top of Claude/ChatGPT/Codex, etc. And I think: You are just one new feature announcement from Anthropic/OpenAI away from irrelevance.…

    I was so confused. Why is domain driven design especially good for debugging? I guess context is bound within the models... And then all the other comments were just talking about …
