Pretty serious problem with a stock data provider. Yahoo Finance, Google Finance, MacOS widgets have nonsensical prices. $MSFT $AAPL $AMZN – at Los Angeles, CA

Just decided not to renew one of my longest subscriptions. @jetbrains I've loved your products for many years. All Products Pack subscriber since 2012. I learned Ruby, JavaScript, Python, TypeScript with your IDEs. I now rarely open any code file.

I've dismissed this banner everyday since I hit 80% storage (2 months ago). At this pace (+1% storage every 2 months), I'll have at least 3 MORE YEARS of dismissing this CTA daily across every @Google Product before I run out of space. Good times.

My understanding was the maintainers wanted to reduce burden on GitHub’s bandwidth. Not that the feature was hard to build.
they just added concurrent downloads to this so called widely used software. absolutely diabolical. popularity != quality

So close, o1-mini. o1-preview gets it, though.

Lol @NotionHQ "We heard from you that when you remove someone from Notion you were confused why you stopped paying for them immediately. So now you pay for them until the end of the month."

Bought some higher end cards for poker night and one of them just split in half. I've never seen anything like this. Bummer. @FadedSpadeBrand

Oh cool. GPT-4 has a new knowledge cutoff date? When did that happen?

Based on this screenshot, would you guess that I am sharing my screen or not?

This is what it looks like when you're sharing your screen. I feel like it should also have a red slash through it when you're not sharing your screen so it looks like the other forms of active input.

Wonder if this is a real issue (malware found its way onto chase.com) or if it's a bug in the reporting infrastructure. @Chase

Looks like Google's Cloud SQL supports Postgres 15.4 now, even though it's not listed publicly. cloud.google.com/sql/docs/po… "SELECT version() >> PostgreSQL 15.4 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by Debian clang version 12.0.1, 64-bit"

Encouraged someone who was pretty skeptical to GitHub Copilot recently. Told him to use it for a month and I'd pay for it. Two weeks in: "I couldn't imagine not using Copilot at this point ... I put in a blank line and somehow it just knows what I want!"

Recently enabled GitHub Copilot for everybody on my team and was pleasantly surprised that GitHub cancelled my personal membership and refunded the prorated amount without any additional action from me.

I've been using type-hinting as part of prompt engineering with GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 with great success (results more consistently returned in JSON without extra text). Looking forward to trying out TypeChat to see if it makes the process easier. microsoft.github.io/TypeChat…

Road-tripped in the Model Y along with a non-Tesla SUV. The people in the other SUV complained of a rotten eggs smell (maybe sulfur?) near our AirBnB. Next day they were riding in the Tesla and couldn’t smell a thing. Kind of cool lightbulb moment for all 8 of us. 👍🏼
Tesla Model S & Model X have hospital-grade HEPA air filters, protecting you from dust, bacteria, pollen (allergies), spores & many toxic gases tesla.com/blog/putting-tesla…

Since enabling Google's new AI features, Google Docs is crazy slow. When I visit any Google Doc under my account or even docs.new it takes 1-4 minutes to load a blank document.

This has been going on for several days at this point and seemingly only getting worse. Any suggestions from tech Twitter on how to fix this?
