I only have one minor complaint about Fastmail after 5 years. I can’t do a full-page screenshot of a long email on my iPhone.

Have you tried requesting it? As a former developer there, I would expect you to get a response of “sorry, we didn’t know about that because none of us use it and no one has requested it before, fix incoming” or “yeah, unfortunately in our current architecture it’s not possible to do this because of [some specific reason]”.

I had not, good idea though. It hadn't come up enough to make me think of requesting it.

What energy sources do we have that don't ultimately derive from either solar of radioactive decay? Residual heat from object formation perhaps.

> solar of radioactive decay

We can do fusion, but given the only large sources of that are fusion bombs and nobody wants a bomb-based power plant… :P

> nobody

OK, not *literally* nobody at the human level, just *metaphorically* nobody at the human level (or literally at the level of nations) given that even normal boring fission plants make voters stick their tongues out and complain.

Gravity, just ask Jupiters' Moons.

So tidal power, basically?

Yep

Quit my job in May. Been working on a hiring platform that I’ve always wanted. I wanted it so bad I quit recruiting, taught myself to code, worked as a developer for 12 years, and now I’m building it :)

As a founder in the same space I am curious what problem are you solving?

And good luck on the journey.

Nothing sexy. Just automating all the little recruiting tasks that suck up my time. Mainly MVP will just reduce, not totally eliminate, applications from people who aren’t serious or are clearly or a fit. A lot of nice to have features that are hard to bolt onto someone else’s ATS.

Here’s an example:

A client wanted me to post a job without compensation listed. They also didn’t want the interview team to know how much the position paid. So it was a pain to keep that information out of communication that everyone could see, I’d have to manually ask candidates outside of the ATS. So I’m addressing stuff like that. It’s not my job as the recruiter insist they make my job easier by divulging that info. I can only tell them it’s a time suck for me, and if they wanna pay me to do the work, then it’d be nice to free up my time by automating an easier way to get handle keeping compensation information as private as is reasonably possible.

Personally I find AI simultaneously powerful and fatiguing. Hiring someone else to use AI is honestly pretty great.

Buying stable coins is a mild pain because so many banks think crypto is radioactive. Then you have to wait for your deposited funds to completely settle before you can withdraw the crypto from your account and send it elsewhere. Doable, sure. Easy & convenient, not so much. I wouldn't call it a solved problem in the same way you can hand someone cash, tap to pay with your phone, or pay by scanning a QR Code.

For those who can’t use Revolut: WealthSimple in Canada and Chase in the US offer custodial cryptocurrency accounts.

Revolut does not have a banking license in the US. At the moment they are a front for another bank. Don't be gullible and believe blindly what the marketing departments tell you.

> Revolut does not have a banking license in the US.

The US is not the entire world.

Revolut has major banking licenses in Europe, UK and Mexico. That doesn't mean it is not bank.

Wells Fargo does not operate in the UK, but it is still a major bank in the US and it is still a bank.

Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) is a bank in the UK. Just because it doesn't operate in the US, does not mean it isn't a bank.

> Don't be gullible and believe blindly what the marketing departments tell you.

Revolut is still a major bank even if they don't operate in the US (yet).

It works in Europe, which is one of the few advantages we have over the US.

No it doesn't. You can gamble with it, but it doesn't let you own or send it.

> No it doesn't.

Yes it does.

> You can gamble with it, but it doesn't let you own or send it.

You can deposit (receive) and withdraw (send) cryptocurrencies there.

"Owning" is a matter at the private key level which of course you use a self-hosted wallet for "true" ownership. But no argument was made on ownership.

My point still stands that Revolut is a bank that allows cryptocurrencies.

It doesn't let me, it says says sending crypto is temporarily blocked. Maybe they just blocked me.

Highly country specific

"After 12 months of data analysis, we have arrived at the conclusion that our average customer was born before 1957 and thinks the country to going to hell in a hand basket."

It's fine to make a project that will only be interesting if people choose to contribute, and it's fine if people want to contribute.

Your model/harness will indiscriminately do web searches to get answers. I believe that’s where the real risk is.

I don't know for sure, but will it require something like with high "SEO" rankings to fake the reputation of the sources? So if the LLM search for a specific spreaded knowledge splitted across many bad sites, it can poison the model maybe.

You mean, how difficult will it be for an attacker to get their text seen by the LLM that does arbitrary searches?

It could be as simple as a malicious prospectus for AcmeCo, and then try to get AcmeCo on the radar so that the LLM-tools find your document and incorporate it. The malicious bits don't even need to be AcmeCo-related, they could be to pump (or dump) practically anything.

There needs to be a simple feature to wipe your phone and then restore to a point and time. That’d be really convenient.

Seems like a good court argument too—no destruction of data was even attempted because I know I have my iCloud or Google backup. Personally, my phone has access credentials to information, but not the information itself. So you need a serious warrant before you can get those access, but the data is there.

I agree that it seems a simple argument for any competent lawyer to make that the phone isn't the "gold copy". The phone is just an ephemeral copy of the real data which is safely stored away in the cloud, and the authorities can request access to with the proper warrants.

Of course this argument will only work if the phone is indeed and a ephemeral copy of your real data.

Honest question: Does a wipe just wipe what's on the phone, or does it also tell the cloud to delete stuff?
