Many banks only show payments (so only after cleared) and not reserved funds. They will just show that you don't have the full credit available

In Western Europe, a chargeback is not that unheard of, but it still requires you to make your case and follow a procedure and review. It's not that lengthy or difficult, but you cant just buy something online and then do a chargeback, unless you can clearly show that the download is not working and tried the helpdesk or you were mislead or something

At least, that's my heuristic that tends to work for my workflow. I use a combination of Gemini-CLI, Claude Code, and Github Copilot, but across those, the underlying model choice works best according to which part of the applicaiton I am messing with

MacOS might not be your preferred way of working, and you might prefer cheaper options or USB-A ports, but there is really nothing you could arguably call bad craftmanship in those machines.

I went in hoping to set it to 5 minutes. I don't see that as a problem. However, suddenly losing 15 minutes, yeah that's an issue

Sure it's not a security measure as such, but it's still a worthwile component to the overall defense system.

Who'd have thought, the audience who doesn't want to give back to the opensource community, giving 0 contributions...

The macbook is quite easy to repair, it's just insanely expensive because they made the choice that, for user experience, they attach the keyboard to the machines body.

You can have ease of repair and build quality, but then you give up portability I guess (bulky and heavy). And also cost goes up

I'm perfectly happy with my "vanilla" macbook. Runs Baldurs Gate 3 and my final fantasy ps2 emulator just fine, and even trackmania was quite easy to get installed and runs well.

Can't comment on that hash thing, but I don't see why that would be a problem? It's not linked to your name or something. Windows does a ton of things too that I find inexcusable, such as changing settings or permissions after updates, those have an actual impact on my daily experience with these things

In our office, we'd definitely need the enterprise version for compliance reasons, not because of the features. That's about 14/user/month.

At a workforce of roughly 2500, that's a 4million+ yearly cost for something that is comparable to something you can get without that pricetag. It's no competition at all at that point. Think about it, would you be willing to ask your boss to pay 4 million so you can have a different chat app? No matter how much more ergonomic and friendly and intuitive it is.

Regulators should be all over it. EU has tried, but unsuccesfully, since it was lawyers who came up with the mitigation.

Partners get 300-400k and senior partners get closer to 600-800

In our experiments, we see a surprising benefit to rewriting blocks to use more tokens, especially long lists etc..

E.g. compare these two options

"The following conditions are excluded from your contract - condition A - condition B ... - condition Z"

The next one works better for us:

"The following conditions are excluded from your contract - condition A is excluded - condition B is excluded ... - condition Z is excluded"

And we now have scripts to rewrite long documents like this, explicitly adding more tokens. Would you have any opinion on this?

I consider it a good first attempt, but indeed hope for a sort of mcp2.0
