Ealier I tried Gemini 2.5 and GPT 4.1 in GH Copilot Agent mode. Claude 3.7 still seems the best experience.
Every now and then I try one of the other models. And it seems to perform poorly straight out the gate.

If you’re invested in CoreWeave, that’s a leading indicator that you’re not one of its co-founders.

Hu, I didn't realise that US interest rates drpped to zero at the start of 2020 (covid) . Compared to the UK since 2008 (financial crisis). 🤔
See if you can find a correlation between the rates and the hiring booms in the past.

There's good intent behind EU AI regulation. But the knock-on effect is a joke. Official availability of everything AI from big tech in Europe is delayed. Often the UK gets lumped in with the EU for good measure. Tech savvy consumers who want it will use a VPN.

Few inventors of foundational infrastructure profit from it.
OpenAI’s $200/month plan is unprofitable due to heavier than expected usage. Despite projecting $11.6B in revenue this year, profitability remains elusive.
It’s astounding growth for a two-year-old product and equally remarkable how quickly they’re scaling their losses even faster than revenue.

I hate SMS 2fa even more than email - especially when I am travelling. I've got a different SIM in. And to top it all off this is Twilio. Why the f are they not letting me use a code generator (Authy).

Why don't I ever hear anybody else say this. Why aren't more of you sharing your frustration about compliance work.
I try not to think about how much time our tiny startup has spent getting SOC 2 (soon type 2) so we can sell into large enterprises, with literally zero actual benefit that I can see.

Experimental feature for those comfortable with DNS, you can set your domain to be a CNAME of `redirect.bsky.app` and we'll redirect your domain to your bsky profile URL.
Disclaimer: this is an experimental feature and may be removed if we run into problems with it, but hopefully not!
