When attaching the offline artifact as an email attachment, say in MS Outlook, will Outlook strip or block the attachment because it sees an HTML file with JS? Anyone encounter email attachment issues?

I do not fully understand the complexity behind achieving full-duplex but I hope this sets the bar for Anthropic to follow. Turn-based simplex is yesterday.

Nice. Claude likes it, especially when the AI detects PII and knows by policy to halt the commit to cloud but not local.

> A related trick worth knowing — one git push can fan out to two destinations:

git remote set-url --add --push origin ~/bares/.git # add a 2nd push URL # now `git push origin` writes to GitHub AND the local bare repo

New comment by dogscatstrees in "SQL patterns I use to catch transaction fraud"

dogscatstrees — Sat, 16 May 2026 05:48:40 +0000

The main problem with these SQL calculations is that they are deterministic shortcuts for a probabilistic problem. Fraud is not usually a “true because rule X matched.” It is more like "what is the probability this is fraudulent"? SQL patterns are useful, but they are blunt instruments. I really don't think banks use deterministic heuristics but more data science stuff.

I think it's also worth mentioning Piper, Critique, and the infamous monorepo.

Another stupid meme-latching name. Don't normalize these *maxxing nonsense words and just use plain language. Let's see, maybe just say they were optimizing for token count?
