Sure, but what if the email has big words? I need a summary, who has time to read 5 lines of text when less text work good?
AI is the biggest blocker to AI adoption. Every time I think "I need to try out this new tool that people find very useful" I get Gemini popping up telling me to rewrite an email in the active voice, and snap back to "I want to go live in a cottage in the woods and try to forget what computers are"
Upside: a pet that picks up it's toys. Downside: it puts them in corridors and doorways
My Jeep developed a rattle. Talked to a mechanic friend and he just laughed and said "yep". End of conversation.
What if an LLM like interface had a real intelligence backing it? This is an amazing technological breakthrough!
That's how I read them. The narrator is also excellent
Just finished the Wayfarers series by Becky Chambers. What a great set of books! I read the Monk and Robot books last year. She has a talent for characters who draw you right in.
"Of course different people can't coexist respectfully - none of those scum give me the respect I deserve"
These bigoted people always existed, I miss when they had no friends, respect, platform, influence, or attention.
can’t wait for the people who think there’s someone ‘truly there’ when they talk to an AI to hear about novels, fiction’s going to blow their minds
In Waterloo to represent Tailscale at Hack Canada!
Hackathons are pretty inspiring, seeing a few young people really dig in to a problem is a cure for cynicism, even for a jaded GenX goat, such as myself.
The Museum of the Home is a small place compared to the grand museums of London, but it is really fascinating. Not a full-day trip, but worth the time to get there.
We had a duck box at the lake when I was growing up, it had a pair of Mergansers every year, though I'm not sure it was the same ones. They are quite striking.
Not today, I'm just following you down the rabbit hole of what could be possible here 🐇
I can see a (long, kind of complicated) path to that point
The Merry Wives of Caliban
Maybe. Separating identity and access whole maintaining the relationship is something Tailscale already does well.
Tailnet federation? "Access this service on this Tailscale IP at this port via this control server."
The access control side of things gets complex, but maybe could have integrations there too, like "autogroup:friends@bsky.app" as a grants object
Stepped outside of union station, someone blew a cloud of crack smoke in my face. I don't think it was intentional, they looked surprised that the door opened.
And yet, sometimes I miss living in Toronto. 🤣
I expect you'll find a lot of use for things we're shipping over the next year or two in this direction. Our CEO, @apenwarr.ca recently stood up a prof of concept proxy to let you log into a tailnet with your atproto account.
I don't speak for the company, but Tailscale has a business model that is very influenced by "let's fix problems for everyone and charge money where that makes sense"
I think what you're talking about is very similar to conversations I'm having inside the company, and it's all very exciting.
This is one of the cooler projects I've seen built on Tailscale. Very well thought out.
Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.
It may help to use an app connector, this will route by FQDN if you need a specific source IP for a certain site, but allow other traffic to route through the default gateway.

I'm of a mind that Tim H's is an experiment: "How cheaply can we make coffee before it's so bad that nobody will drink it". The scientists have now lost all faith in ever finding the point where people won't argue that the floor sweepings and other detritus roasted and brewed are "the best"!
My credit card has lounge access baked in, tried it for the first time today. Comfortable chairs, and bathroom stalls that have real doors. Why can't the rest of the airport just be like this? The coffee in here is even worse than Starbucks though, which takes real effort. Might be worse than Tim H!

A lap cat with a paw over her eyes is the most adorable, but I've got a train to catch
The internet started going downhill when we removed the under construction gifs.
Red Tape has been an integral part of the Canadian identity since at least 1965, when it was incorporated into the design of the national flag (twice)
I feel that people should be required to take at least a first year humanities course before being allowed to touch a computer in any professional manner.
This is so ethically abhorrent that I would never feel safe in the room with whoever greenlit this patent application.

I see you have a cable pouch on this cluttered workbench. That looks like a cozy spot to sit.
