> only enable Google Search ads

Except then they just don't run your ads unless you're willing to pay silly amounts like $3 per click for bot traffic.

Ah yes, the "you're not spending enough" excuse, Reddit loves to use that one me.

Add Reddit Ads to that, all the alleged clicks not one comment or conversion.

I get my app is probably bad but you'd expect at least one comment out of 100 "clicks" to say something.

> That's why there are standards that define when to go around.

Greg Feith covered this well on one of the Mayday episodes, he put an American Airlines' manager on the stand during the NTSB investigation.

What were the company rules for pilots flying near thunderstorms?

When asked the question, he basically responded that he just didn't want his pilots flying into that type of weather. Our pilots are forbidden to enter or depart a terminal area blanketed by thunderstorms.

Well, that's a very subjective call for a pilot. Pilots need boundaries. You have to set limits.

If there's convective activity, that is thunderstorm activity, that's within five nautical miles of the airport, there's lightning, there's wind shear... don't go there.

Going to be GitHub self hosted runners all over again, you pay for the API and also pay for your own self hosting.

> can't decide whether I should declare a production incident

A supportive culture encourages you to declare early at the first sign you feel something isn't right.

The fact you're struggling to decide means it should be declared but you feel some negative force if ends up not as serious as you think.

A supportive culture will work with you and if necessary down grade the priority if it can wait until a regular release cycle.

>Why I use Ollama. To be frank it's just easy.

More ethical alternatives have caught up including llama.cpp

Always fun when NLNOTES crashed but the Eclipse wrapper kept running so things like tabs still worked but couldn't show any Notes tabs however web based tabs kept working.

You can bet those videos have been fed into their training.

>The fact that we're allowing companies to get away with bullshit like this is ludicrous to me.

If they decide to not reply it becomes much more resource consuming to go down the legal road.

I had this with DoorDash, even if you call they just say some specialised team needs to look at it and they'll email you back, surprise, they never do.

I'm surprised you knew it was removed. All my negative reviews appear visible to me when logged in and disappear when logged out.

Only sure fire way I've found is to leave a two star review with no body. One star without a body is also shadowbanned for me.

This is what I do now, got jack of Google throwing my contributions back in my face.

They also only email if your contribution is successful. If it's declined you'll only know by looking inside Google Maps.

Contributing to an open dataset also feels really good.

> All existing customers will of course maintain their access to products like Tailwind Plus and ui.sh, but we're closing sign ups for new customers to focus on Tailwind CSS at Shopify.

You've got to wonder how long that model can continue if no new customers are allowed in.

They've even removed the Plus splash page so clicking Plus on the homepage or going to /plus takes you to a login page with no detail about what it was.

> I do have to say Microsoft has spent the last decade "upgrading" their product to be a similarly painful experience though.

Why Microsoft continues to burn goodwill for native Outlook to keep pushing webview "new Outlook" which isn't feature complete is beyond me. Unless we're getting webview Excel, there's no point because you won't be running Office on any other OS anyway.

As much as it was rough in places (debugging an object oriented LotusScript library, connecting to a web service or dealing with a locked out 64GB NSF), I had to admire the email client was fully built as a Notes database and you could see all the source code for yourself so internally Lotus at least believed in it.

Having said that, once you're locked in (and I don't just mean email I mean the hundreds of custom applications your company has built) it's a slog to get off. Meanwhile you still pay the full licence costs whether you have one custom app or a hundred.

I wondered what the birds were singing about every morning.

Not to mention if you make a successful value add the token provider will add it to their own harness and they're not paying the retail price they charge you for the tokens they consume.

>Old school methods like what McDonald's use, literally allow the customer to see in to the kitchen are very effective.

Guess that's why the new refits have a giant wall to stop you seeing into the kitchen.

> Nothing is that novel anymore, and solving day to day problems, more than requiring mental exhaustion, mostly require spending some time at them.

You're the largest fish in your bowl, time to move to a larger bowl. It's OK to be comfortable but if you're unhappy there's always another level to aim for.

> The appetite to depart from subscriptions and loaning your personal data to ad/ai companies is stronger than ever.

Only on HN, the general public don't care, they don't even know the name of their web browser.

I felt quite let down when I realised Fedora which bills itself as "free & private" didn't use temporary addresses by default and I had to go hunting for configuration files to enable it as it's not exposed in the UI either.

That IBM Z skill locked behind an "enterprise only" pay point would be a good starting point.

> Bobcoins are the consumption-based billing metric used for Bob subscriptions. They provide a transparent, predictable way to measure and bill for your Bob usage. Each action you take in Bob—such as generating code, reading files, or running commands—consumes a certain number of Bobcoins based on the computational resources required.

transparent, predictable ... "a certain number of Bobcoins" ... so not that transparent then?

Also to hopefully get regulation happening so nobody else can handle these "dangerous" agents.

> If you write a React component with an agent, though, then the risk of just yolo’ing it into production is (typically) much lower.

If your state management gets out of sync with the form controls your users are working with it can become pretty high risk because now users see one thing and something else actually gets sent to the backend.

> So when web technology exploded in the '90s, developers bypassed xanalogical computing in favor of ease: links are simple strings which break if their target moves. Maintenance became users' problems — instead of the system's responsibility — but it was easy for anyone to ship fast, and they did.

developers bypassed - Really not a fan of phrases like these from a CEO.

Usually developers have to work within an organisational hierarchy that doesn't grant them infinite time or money.

> It's getting hard to even get a shrug.

I've slowly gotten more comfortable with the void, you put something out, allegedly 50 clicks received and not a single comment or conversion. 700 views of a video, no comments and 3 likes.

You don't get told if it's good or bad you'll just get indifferent silence.

So now I don't wait until it's perfect because I know likely nobody will say anything.

I do wonder if people are more fatigued with all the AI content being put out.
