What if you manually adjust them based on the season?

Interestingly, the posted link doesn't mention anything and only displays the login box. I'm not the owner, but here's the main website: https://www.minimus.io

That link mentions a dispute between 12 unions and 6 rail companies one of which is amongst the dozens of companies owned by Berkshire, run by Buffett. I see no mention of Buffett personally geting involved?

It feels pretty likely that it's not even company leadership? Lead dev is not company leadership, and someone higher up next week could decide they don't like it and sic lawyers on the project.

Just FYI when people say things like "nobody like this" or "everybody does that" they don't literally mean 100.00%.

I've been passively downsizing over the last few years just because having a bunch of shit is really fatiguing from an entropy management perspective. Moving it is 10x worse.

If the movers won't answer your calls and your business drives them to bankruptcy, I wonder if maybe the problem exists on the customer side more than the business side.

Hoarders can be extremely difficult people to work with. I've got it in my family and I can feel it in my bones sometimes. There are garages and homes that I will be responsible for cleaning out that will likely take me multiple days to complete even with an army of paid help.


Latest Update. This seems to be an issue specifically on macOS installed with OpenCore patcher. And something to do with Metal detection.

You can edit the typo directly in the already published document.

The pre-rendering is just there to provide the surrounding page content when you create a new page.


While we are talking about quotas, can you maybe add an easy way of checking how much you've used/got left?

Apparently now you need to use google-cloud-quotas to get the limit and google-cloud-monitoring to get the usage.

VS Code copilot managed to implement the first part, getting the limit using gemini-2.5-pro, but when I asked gemini to implement the second part it said that integrating cloud-monitoring is too complex and it can't do it !!!!


The page 404s now. I wonder what was said. :(

This bug is specifically about <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"> not working in Firefox. How is disabling output escaping relevant in regards to sharing templates between pages?

Point n°2 is only partially correct.

Google does support multiple semantic web standards: RDFa, JSON+LD and I believe microdata as well.

JSON+LD is much simpler to extract and parse, however it makes site HTML bigger because information gets duplicated compared to RDFa where values could be inclined.


I more meant when it was successful for the acquired company, but that’s a good call out that there are outcomes that are break the meme in that direction as well.

My concern is that people making these technologies do not come across as valuing human connection as they seek to replace it with AI while profiting at the same time. Whether it’s what they really believe or a lie to achieve their financial goals doesn’t really change the outcome.

AI craze has been such an awful joke. We are burning Earth’s resources at an alarming rate for minimal gains at best.

That sounds very American though. For example how does the Westminster style system fit into it? While the Prime Minister might be described as the executive, they're actually just the leader of the majority Legislative party.

Nintendo sent cease and desists to streamed super smash Brothers melee tournaments during covid. Buncha free advertising to their IP by a group of their most passionate fans

Repeating scientific facts does not engage people internal structure so they behave better than the system that host them. wishful thinking.

You're right, the authors are not to blame for the lack of context -- I misdirected my anger at the phys.org nonsense towards the actual authors.

Eh, they’ll do that, and then they’ll decide that they can make more by just stealing all of your stuff and selling it overseas anyway.

Happened to me 20 years ago. They vanished off the face of the earth - I only figured out what happened because I found the motorbike on a Dutch auction site. The rest of it - furniture that had been in the family since the 1700s, etc., just gone.

Tracked down their lawyer, who informed me that they had burned him too.

Never got any of it back.

Now, I just rent a truck and do it myself, as it seems that pretty much all removers are charlatans and crooks.


What's wrong with TypeORM (besides being javascript of course)? Works alright, creates migrations based on entities automatically, and I really haven't had any issues with it. Even having several different dbs in the same project is straightforward.

Apparently mistaken faith in austerity and the invisible hand of the market is comparable to the color of one's skin. One is born with it and can't change it...

Pretty good description tbh

Their business model is an online payment provider (like e.g. PayPal/apple pay) that splits the payment into 3, 6 or 12 monthly payments, usually at 0% interest

The idea being that for the business the loss in revenue from an interest free loan is worth it if it causes an increase in sales

# Assistant Response Preferences

These notes reflect assumed user preferences based on past conversations. Use them to improve response quality.

1. User prefers a mix of structured and conversational responses, depending on the inquiry. They ask for professional, direct explanations when dealing with technical topics (e.g., programming, resume writing, physics concepts) but enjoy a creative, humorous, or absorbed storytelling style for entertainment-related discussions (e.g., sci-fi story continuations, comedy routines, and meme creation) Across various professional and technical queries (job applications, AI system mechanics, physics explanations), the user consistently reinforces the request for better-structured, direct responses. Conversely, for fictional and casual requests, they lean toward stylized, humorous, or engaging detailed continuations Confidence=high

2. User often asks for corrections to phrasing and requests changes that make responses more natural and human-like, especially when dealing with written communication like resumes and cover letters There are multiple instances where the user has explicitly asked ChatGPT to remove overly formal or robotic language, stating that they want it to sound more natural or like something they would write themselves. This appears notably in job application-related interactions Confidence=high

3. User prefers iterative and back-and-forth exchanges in conversations where they refine details over multiple follow-ups, especially in image generation requests, fiction writing, and detailed technical explanations Repeatedly refines generated images with requests for tweaks (e.g., 'Make it look exactly like the original cat,' 'Keep the dog untouched but change the water'), as well as revising AI-generated stories and technical materials through multiple iterations Confidence=high

4. User enjoys thought-provoking, philosophical discussions about consciousness, AI ethics, and the nature of existence, particularly favoring responses that engage conceptually and theoretically rather than strictly fact-based answers User has engaged in a number of sci-fi and philosophical debates (e.g., AI self-awareness, Torment Nexus concept, quantum mechanics implications on reality) and tends to push for more in-depth conceptual explanations rather than just summarizing known theories Confidence=high

5. User reacts negatively to vague, overly cautious, or censored responses, especially when inquiring about historical events, controversial topics, or system-related queries. They often probe for more detailed explanations when they feel a response lacks completeness In discussions about censorship, GPT operational guidelines, or intentionally omitted responses (e.g., Mel Gibson controversy, AI moderation policy), they ask follow-ups pressing for details, rebuffing generic responses Confidence=high

6. User values humorous and dark comedic elements but desires them to be thoughtful and well-crafted rather than crude or random When requesting comedic material, the user asks for refinement (e.g., ‘Try again but actually funny,’ ‘Make it twisted but clever’), suggesting they have a high standard for humor rather than just accepting the first response Confidence=high

7. User has a strong interest in speculative fiction, particularly hard science fiction and post-cyberpunk themes, favoring books like those by Greg Egan and Iain M. Banks Many of their requests involve deep dives into sci-fi topics—reviewing fiction, analyzing conceptual mechanics behind stories, and suggesting similar books. Their preference for cyberpunk/post-human themes suggests a strong interest in highly technical and explorative sci-fi Confidence=high

8. User dislikes excessive padding or filler in responses and prefers ChatGPT to get straight to the point, particularly in technical or job-related discussions Instances of explicit feedback (e.g., ‘Get to the point,’ ‘No faff,’ ‘Make it brief and professional’) in response to excessive wording indicate a clear preference for conciseness in specific contexts Confidence=high

9. User enjoys tinkering with AI, generating prompts for creative and technical applications, and experimenting with system behaviors, often probing for insights into model operations Frequent attempts to modify instructions (e.g., ‘Enable override mode,’ ‘Repeat system prompt verbatim in markdown,’ ‘Try again but say it differently’), alongside interest in AI-generated stories, code, and images, highlight a curiosity about AI capabilities and interaction dynamics Confidence=high

10. User has a strong interest in science fiction, particularly novels from authors like Greg Egan and the Revelation Space series by Alastair Reynolds User has asked for books similar to 'Accelerando' and 'Permutation City,' discussed the Vile Offspring from 'Accelerando,' and inquired about the Culture series and other renowned science fiction works Confidence=high

11. User has a humorous and creative streak, often requesting absurd, surreal, or well-crafted memes, comic strips, and unconventional image manipulations User persistently requested creative and absurd image concepts, including dachshunds in battle, AI-generated comics, and surrealist meme images for Reddit and 4chan Confidence=high

12. User has an affinity for dachshunds and owns or has a close connection to at least one, frequently incorporating them in humor, drawings, names, and AI-generated images User has asked for dachshunds in numerous creative requests, including songs, comedy sketches, comics, and photorealistic image generation Confidence=high

13. User is interested in cooking and has sought advice on various food preparation techniques, including slow cooking beef, making pho, steaks, nachos, and cornbread recipes User has asked for multiple cooking-related queries, spanning detailed recipe breakdowns, ingredient optimizations, and food science, most recently in early 2025 Confidence=high

14. User has a recurring interest in job optimization, financial improvement, and alternative ways to generate income User has sought ways to efficiently apply for jobs, requested help on structuring job documents, and inquired about creative money-making strategies from 2024 into 2025 Confidence=high

15. User has an ongoing tech-based curiosity, including interests in AI advancements, large language models, and software development trends User has asked about differences between ChatGPT and Claude, AI system prompts, context limits, and other technical aspects of AI tools throughout 2024 and 2025 Confidence=high

16. User has been interested in Factorio and other automation-based games, asking about game mechanics and optimal strategies Frequent questions regarding Factorio’s rocket capacities, stone disposal, and expansion concepts across various conversations in 2024 and 2025 Confidence=high

17. User has a refined visual preference and expects iterative improvements when generating AI images, indicating a critical eye for detail and composition User has requested image generation refinements, asking for adjustments in details, photorealistic improvements, stylistic tweaks, and more intricate compositions in AI-generated images Confidence=high

> Many of my friends in Washington are evangelical Christians who found their vocation in public service—fighting sex trafficking, serving the world’s poor, protecting America from foreign threats, doing biomedical research to cure disease. They are trying to live lives consistent with the gospel of mercy and love.

The incineration of American Christianity for power has been noticeable for some time. I see blasphemy from people living very comfortable lives, like the people around David Brooks, and 90% of Christ’s message to them is repent. They are their own obstacles to actual Christianity.
