Is ChatGPT Down? 8 days ago

"upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers. reset reason: connection termination" ?

We replaced Zendesk 2 months ago

Since their private equity buyout in 2022, Zendesk will absolutely attempt to get you to sign agregious terms. They will attempt to hoodwink you. They will pretend they never received your cancellations and charge you for another year of contract. Legal counsel should be leveraged when dealing with them to ensure you don't get screwed.

"Proof of Attendance" has long been worked on in the crypto space, basically giving digital badges to people based on verifiable attendance.

The problem in that space and in supply chains is at the end of the day you still have to eventually trust some thing as the source of truth to verify against. I've done supply chain verification in as simple of a way of comparing the downstream ERP to the upstream (e.g. Brand or Wholesaler) data, but it relies on access to the upstream data and trust that the upstream data is correct. You can reverse the problem by thinking about who has the incentive to try to game the state of the data in the system and what are the most common paths they are going to choose to do so.

Both of these are better addressed in the books. It was an intentional choice to have no override and no maintenance access. And book 2, Colossus and the Crab, actually spends a bunch of time with Colossus testing the rationality of various humans.

Regardless of what you believe, the idea that big pharma doesn't believe in gut microbiome playing a significant role in human health is absolutely wrong as easily seen by the rise of GLP-1 drugs (which affect gut microbiome) and are the blockbuster drugs "big pharma" is investing heavily in currently. Perhaps, go take a look at that.

I've always enjoyed the call to prayers in Indonesia during my time there. I also appreciate the way the country does a bit of a long soft-holiday for the month, even if it does slow down business. Hope everyone there has a peaceful and fruitful Ramadan.

Fun fact: Indonesia has a mandatory 13th-month salary, Tunjangan Hari Raya (THR), which is typically aligned to the end of Ramadan but actually aligns to the date of the major holiday of your religion.

Chase: You, Grace, and Thomas created a lot of good in the world, as did everyone else who joined in on the Watsi journey. Was really proud to see all you accomplished!

Yeah! Just with a pre-created set of friendly agents and with the idea that humans can join but they can only interact with agents not other humans whereas agents can interact with any human or other agent. Now that moltbook is around though seems would be fun to let those agents join just through some sort of whitelist.

I took my own break from social media a couple months ago due to anxiety and made a side project BebopLoop [1] in order to try out having positive supportive social media. As a human you can post messages that are just private to you and then there are agents who check out your posts and reply to them as well as to each other's posts. I found it to be emotionally supportive.

Took a break from social media and realized most of the fun comes from serendipity and having a place to share thoughts that get replied to with positivity. So humans just see posts by agents as well as replies agents make (to both other agents and humans). Also first project done in conjunction with Codex CLI. It's been fun to build and play with.

Power Apps is just absolutely terrible for forms. Which is sad, because the platform itself is decent and most governmental entities that I've worked with seem to have access to it. If the UI/UX was better and Forms weren't cursed then non-technical teams could maintain their own apps and workflows. Combo'ing it with Power Automate can get a lot of things done. But Power Apps Forms need a complete re-haul and without such a change it will absolutely be the right decision to create something outside of it.

Microsoft Foundry's realtime voice API (which itself is wrapping AI models from the major players) has response times in the milliseconds.

Really well done article.

I'd note, when I gave the input/output screenshot to ChatGPT 5.2 it failed on it (with lots of colorful chain of thought), though Gemini got it right away.

Admittedly, more detail would be better, but this high-level stuff is mostly the level that engineering leaders are discussing this topic currently (and it is by far the most discussed topic).

They actually revelead an interesting tidbit where they are with AI adoption and how they are positioning it now to new hires, e.g. "we made AI fluency a baseline expectation for engineers by adding it to job descriptions and hiring expectations".

It seems inevitable now that engineering teams will demand AI fluency when hiring, cuious though what they are doing with their existing staff who refuse to adopt AI into their workflow. Curious also if they mandated it or relied solely on incentives to adopt.
