In my experience the Vertex guardrails out of the box aren't too bad.
The person who posted this bug doesn't seem like the pinnacle of software engineering. To me, this looks like either a user error or some corrupt file or context you should be able to clean up pretty quickly.

You reap what you sow, finance bro.

Re:Show HN: Stop Claude Code from forgetting everything on Monday December 29, 2025 @06:18PM (#46427260)
What's the data retention/deletion policy and is there a self-hosted option planned? I'd prefer not to send proprietary code to third-party servers.
Not the OP but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say not bombing civilians, in general, is a path exploring.
You’d be surprised at how adept the younger generation can be, especially those who’ve grown up with technology. As tech evolves, so do they. There are kids who genuinely apply themselves, and because they’ve been immersed in this environment, it’s practically second nature to them. I remember the late 1990s: I was young, but more than anything, I was curious about how things worked, I had the luxury of time, and access to technology to explore it. I started coding in C++ when I was around 13, and honestly, I still feel like I started too late.

You can't manufacture desire. Do you think people want to collect garbage or climb radio towers? Raising compensation until you can convince desperate people that the risk to their mental health is worth that amount of money is as close as you get.

You can buy on eTrade, Fidelity, Vanguard, Schwab, WeBull, and others. As of 4pm EST RH has allowed for each user to have 20 shares of GME, an increase from 1 share which was the max at the opening bell.
Re:Bitcoin Is a Ponzi on Friday January 22, 2021 @10:42AM (#25872571)
Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, while blockchain is a distributed database. Bitcoin is powered by blockchain technology, but blockchain has found many uses beyond Bitcoin.
Re:Jeffrey Epsteins Little Black-Book Unredacted [pdf] on Saturday January 16, 2021 @02:23AM (#25800731)
The first thing I noticed was the section titled "Massage - Paris" with over 30 women's' name and number yet he only has like couple restaurant and hotels listed in there for Paris?

Then I did a search in the PDF for the word "massage" and... well... be prepared to be creeped out.

Re:AWS repeatedly warned Parler about posts urging murder on Thursday January 14, 2021 @03:24AM (#25773661)
In short, Amazon is not a public utility. Maybe it could be in the future but it isn't right now. AWS is a private business which rents out a server under very clearly laid out TOS to follow. In addition to this, AWS has gone out of their way for weeks (if not months) to work with Parler on their moderation issue that violates the contract.

Parler has shown no intent to work within the boundaries of AWS TOS. Instead of putting in the work of finding and migrating to other hosting solutions (of which there are many) they used stall tactics. When stalling no longer worked, they brought a junk lawsuit against AWS.

Re:AWS repeatedly warned Parler about posts urging murder on Thursday January 14, 2021 @03:15AM (#25773593)
Parler's own CEO admits they purposely built their infrastructure with the expectation that AWS would pull the cord for TOS violations and they have options. The truthiness of that statement seems in question as it's now Jan 14 and Gab has pretty much already (struggled) to fill the vacuum left behind by Twitter and Parler.

Relevant part of the document:

>Parler’s allegations of harm contradict its own public statements. Parler’s CEO has assured users that Parler “prepared for events like [the termination] by never relying on Amazon's [sic] proprietary infrastructure,” that the site will be fully operational “with less then[sic] 12 hours of downtime” after termination, and that Parler has “many [companies] competing for [its] [hosting] business.”

The very last line of this article proposes the solution of new laws and regulations that govern online platforms. Is that what we really want? I'm genuinely asking because I can see both sides of the argument quite clearly and still feel uneasy thinking that this topic is so black and white.
Re:A comparison of city building games on Monday January 04, 2021 @10:42AM (#25632732)
Tropico, in general, is always being slept on. Tropico 6 is a genre defining game in my opinion. If you're into city building games I highly recommend giving it a chance.
You're describing a unidirectional data flow for Toosheh which makes sense but in the article it mentions payloads of videos from all over Iran. From what I've read VPNs were also shut down so how did the Iranians output videos? Was it purely journalists that had access to outside networks?
Re:AirMessage – Android app to interface with iMessage on a Mac on Saturday September 05, 2020 @02:14PM (#24385629)
If anyone here is interested in texting from an Android using a Mac app without propping up iMesssage I strongly recommend you look into Google Messages. It works out of the box and is better than most stock messaging apps. I switched over from MightyText a couple years ago and never looked back. https://messages.google.com/
Bitcoin is essentially built with one goal in mind which is a digitalized P2P currency. Ethereum is a platform, not only a coin.

Ethereum is intended to facilitate immutable smart contracts which has has very broad implications and use cases. We've already seen companies like Amazon, IBM, and central banks experimenting with it.

Re:Transcribed police scanners in real-time on Tuesday June 09, 2020 @12:12PM (#23467883)
Hey I want to say that I love Broadcastify for listening to my local police and fire scanners so thank you for providing that free service without requiring app downloads and so on. Awesome work!

I will say though I recently noticed that during the recent unrest in my city that the stream had a caption along the lines of 'police are using encrypted channels' which is understandable but disappointing from the perspective of a citizen looking for transparency.

I realize both the possible legal and technical difficulty of implementing something like this but have you had any conversations about how to maybe combat this? Times of unrest are not only a massive opportunity for Broadcastify to grow its user base but it's also when transparency is at its peak importance.

Re:James Damore and three others end Google suit on Saturday May 09, 2020 @01:43AM (#23122590)
Damore hasn't said much of his idealogical beliefs publicly and I think it's unfair to criticize him on his choice of legal counsel because he just wants to be well represented which is his right. Regardless of your political beliefs Dhillon is an accomplished attorney. Other attorneys on the left in California don't want to touch the case because of the pearl-clutchers and public political implications so the enemy of your enemy becomes your friend.
I'm not a doctor but if I'm reading it correctly they did a study with 16 normal weight males and found that when eating in the morning their blood glucose and insulin concentrations[1] were lower after breakfast compared to dinner regardless of calorie consumption.

So eat more in the morning and less at night.
