  @sama4rtyu7 @ProtocolWidow Johnson did issue that call, but not sure if that gmail address is legit.

  Essentially, it's pulling from any data associated with the gmail you would naturally have a Google account under... because that's how it works. So if you sign in, on pretty much any model, it COULD use the user account details to scan all things connected to that address.

  The AI race won't be won by whoever has the best model. Ask a developer who's winning and you'll get an argument about benchmarks, context windows, and coding evals. Ask literally anyone else and you'll get a blank stare... most people in the US have never paid a dollar for an AI subscription. That's the whole game right there. Distribution beats capability. Google doesn't need to convince anyone to sign up for anything. AI shows up in Search, in Gmail, in Docs, on every Android phone. It's already there, already free, already attached to accounts people have had for fifteen years. OpenAI has the brand name ("ChatGPT" became the generic verb), but a brand still requires people to go somewhere new. Anthropic builds arguably the best model for real work... and sells almost entirely to developers and enterprises. Great business, small slice of the population. The lesson isn't new. VHS beat Betamax. Windows beat better operating systems. Frontier capability matters enormously right up until it stops being the bottleneck, and then the question becomes: whose product is already in the user's hand when they need it? Which is exactly why "who's winning" is the wrong question for builders. Nobody is going to out-distribute Google. But the foundation models are increasingly a commodity you rent by the token... the actual opportunity is the layer above. The specific product, for the specific person, solving the specific problem. Normies don't want a model?!? They want something that works without them having to understand what's underneath it. The labs are fighting over the engine. Most of the value is going to get built by the people making cars. 🚗

  @heyandras I assume it’s the receiving mail server classifying it as spam? Maybe even the client? Would be viable to use to send mails to yourself if you unmark it as spam. Horrible using Gmail programmatically as it requires reauth every week.

  Vic 🌮 (@VicVijayakumar) reported 15 minutes ago

  Coding used to be the bottleneck and isn’t anymore so now there is a lot of brain power being spent at companies to play bottleneck whackamole while tokens are cheap. Problem: code review Multiple levels of automatic code review of AI written code doesn’t really increase trust, and AI code review still lacks the context behind WHY. So there’s all this effort to document everything by adding MCPs to every context store: jira, confluence, gmail, slack, zoom calls, google docs, whatever. The goal is to get to the first approve/reject recommendation before a human even looks at it. Problem: human time Human time is precious, your teams are overloaded, everyone is busy, and has their own brain split between 15 things, so let's intelligently @ people directly in public channels. Round robin it between reviewers, add leaderboards, daily reminders, and some public shaming. But wait. Someone says- can we just…skip human review? Problem: defect escape Whether or not we got a review from a human (rubberstamp or meticulous), we still need to prevent defect escape. Auto merge approved code to main which deploys to staging. Force it to bake on staging for X hours. Run every test suite against it (nothing new). Have adversarial agents use headless browsers to try and break your stuff. Should probably fix things too? Problem: blast radius This one isn’t new either. If you’re going to yeet out code that no human has looked at, you should probably reduce your blast radius with progressive deployments. Squeeze out a little bit, have an agent watch your error logs and dashboards, set a confidence threshold for rollback vs perseverance. Problem: incident triage If something breaks at 3am, unconnected to an ongoing deployment, you shouldn’t have to wait for a human. Have an agent triage the issue and link to relevant dashboards before the human can roll out of bed to get to their laptop. Problem: conflicts Your PR queue is a traffic jam. Agents will need to be constantly rebasing, resolving conflicts, and regenerating changes as main moves underneath them. Problem: trust boundaries How much rope can we give our agents? Under what conditions can we let yhem act without asking permission? Whose agent is going to be the first to screw up and leak PII? Gotta wrap it up, my toddler is waking up. What did I miss?

  Most cold email fails before the first send. Not because the copy is bad. Not because the list is wrong. Because 40 people are sharing the same IP your email just came from. One person on that IP got blacklisted last Tuesday. You don't know. Gmail does. Private IPs and subdomain isolation aren't a luxury. They're the floor. Everything else is optimization on top of a broken foundation.

  @krzyzanowskim @NathanBLawrence yep, they totally ****** up and centralized the email. it almost feels like 95% of the global is on the gmail and the rest of crumbles shared between outlook, proton, etc. such a shame, the times when we were able to run own email server...

  @bridgemindai Google has shoved its model down everybody's gmail products. You gotta subscribe to hold your memory in gmail. They are not even trying to win the race. They are sitting at the finish line offering water to other players.

Important messages missed weekly 5. No labels. No filters. No system. After: 6. Categories split incoming emails into 5 automatic tabs 7. 7 filters auto-sort, auto-label, and auto-archive 8. 5 color-coded labels for visual priority 9. Multiple Inboxes dashboard showing 5 organized sections 10. Keyboard shortcuts cutting processing time in half 11. Auto-Advance eliminating inbox round-trips 12. Nudges catching forgotten replies 13. 30-second Undo Send as a permanent safety net 14. "Waiting" label tracking every pending response Emails requiring attention per day: 15-20 (down from 85). Time spent on email per day: 35-45 minutes (down from 2 hours). Important emails missed per week: 0 (down from 3-5). Same Gmail. Same account. Same $0/month. 9 settings. 20 minutes. Once.

  the ugly web dev history, frontend. I was ignorant of JavaScript and frontend tech, from 1999 to 2010. am a web backend dev in 1998. back then, professional programers sneer JavaScript (and php). except, those big corp actually need to use it sans choice, such as gmail, google map, amazon, ebay. (the need to update page sans reloading the whole page.) Only when Node.js in 2009 By Ryan Dahl, changed things. It introduced the async, which puzzled and derided by most programers. (async, a pain in the ***. One of the worst thing in programing language history, still so today, even with latest await etc. Reason is because js is single threaded. Async is a pretend fix on this concurrency issue.) In 2010 js did not have a library system. (nor did php, scheme lisp, for the first 10 years of their life. emacs lisp has no module/namespace to this day.) Commonjs and amdjs module system mess got introduced in the wild. A very complicated mess, which created concepts like bundlers (browserify, webpack), code repo and package manager (bower, npm), task runners (gulp). npm is a corp greed, designed so that 1 line code is considered a lib, to promote its popularity. Then in 2015, js finally had some basic features, such as real local scoped variable (let), real dictionary/hashtable/map data structure. but for reason, the JavaScript committee refused a “use new js”. (google chrome dev got stunk by a “use strict”.) So, one thousands warts of js, stays in js. (such as var, use strict, string is utf16 and all methods cant deal with emoji, no real array masking as magical object with magical length. etc.) JavaScript landscape, is really 30 years of **** pile due to a in-10-days mistake. But cpp is worse.

  This post is making the rounds around here. As a PSA: do not use a VPS to send emails. It might work ok at small scale but it might turn bad at any moment. There is a huge risk that a big provider like gmail will flag your IP and stop delivering your messages to inboxes. It is a solved problem and not reason not to use a big, trusted provider (aws, sendgrid, etc) It's cheap and can save a lot of headache.

  Hi Gem, Thank you for your response. I previously submitted an appeal for my Business Profile. However, when I try to access the Appeal Management page, I cannot view my appeal status. Instead, I receive a message saying “Restricted Google Account.” My Google account itself is working normally. I can sign in to Gmail and send and receive emails without any issues. I have attached a screenshot of the message I receive. Could you please check my appeal from your side or advise me on how I can access the appeal status? Thank you for your time and assistance.

  I hate how Gmail lets you use a + sign in an email address (which is correct per the spec), e.g., me+something@gmail, but so many websites are too stupid to realize that, so they will not consider it a valid email address.

  MailMindz is live. I built it for one problem: email should tell you what matters before you waste time digging. It sorts your inbox by urgency, labels messages inside Gmail, flags what needs a reply, drafts in your voice, handles unsubscribe cleanup, and keeps the processing local. Gmail + SMTP - Windows + macOS. No market plan yet. No client attached. Just a real inbox problem turned into a working app. Boost your email intelligence.

  @bitlancework D. Tools that make sense to normal businesses Invoices in USD or EUR that settle in BTC. Automatic receipts. Project milestones. Time tracking. Fiat off-ramps so a freelancer can cash out to M-Pesa, bank transfer, or stablecoins if they want. The client never has to touch Bitcoin if they do not want to. They pay with card, Bitlance converts, freelancer receives BTC. The complexity is abstracted away. This is the key. Bitlance is not asking the world to become Bitcoiners overnight. It is meeting both sides where they are, and using Bitcoin to remove the expensive middlemen in the middle. 6. Real impact: who this helps most Let us get specific, because "financial inclusion" is an abstract phrase. The designer in East Africa She is world-class. Her portfolio is on Behance. But 80% of clients ghost her when they see she cannot take PayPal. On Bitlance, she can take a $300 branding project, get paid in BTC in 10 minutes, and convert half to shillings for rent and keep half in BTC as savings. Her income goes up and her costs go down. The US startup founder He needs a dev for 20 hours this month. He does not want to deal with contractors in 3 countries and 3 payment systems. He posts on Bitlance, pays with his company card, and knows the dev will get paid immediately when the milestone is approved. No wire forms. No FX fees. The writer in Argentina Local inflation is 50% a year. Getting paid in pesos means losing value while the client processes payment. Getting paid in USD is hard because of capital controls. Getting paid in Bitcoin means she is paid in a global asset she can hold or convert when she chooses. It is a hedge and a paycheck. The agency They have 12 freelancers across 8 countries. Managing payroll used to take a full day and $200 in fees. Now they fund one Bitlance wallet and pay everyone out of it. Reconciliation is one export. Everyone gets paid faster. 7. The objections, and the answers "But Bitcoin is volatile" True. That is why platforms like Bitlance offer instant conversion to stablecoins or local currency at withdrawal. You can choose to be paid in BTC and hold, or be paid in BTC and convert in 1 click. The point is you have the choice. The rails are Bitcoin even if the unit you spend is stable. "What about taxes?" Bitlance provides exportable reports with date, amount in BTC, and USD value at time of payment. It does not solve your local tax law, but it makes reporting 10x easier than trying to track wallet addresses manually. "What about scams?" Escrow and reputation. Same as any marketplace. The difference is that because the money is in escrow, not in a company bank account, even if Bitlance went down tomorrow, funds could still be released by 2 of the 3 keys. That is a safety net traditional platforms cannot offer. "Will clients actually use this?" They already do when it is easier and cheaper. Most clients do not care what the backend is. They care: can I post a job, find good people, pay with a card, and know the work will get done. Bitlance delivers that, and the backend just happens to be Bitcoin. 8. The bigger picture: this is about economic sovereignty When you get paid through a traditional platform, you are a tenant. The platform sets the rules, takes the cut, and can evict you. When you get paid in Bitcoin through a platform like Bitlance, you are a participant in an open network. Think of it like email. Gmail is a great email client, but no one owns email. If Gmail bans you, you can move to Proton and keep your address and contacts. We need that for work. Bitcoin is the open protocol for value. Bitlance is trying to be the open protocol for freelance work on top of it. Portfolios, reviews, and escrow history could eventually be portable. You would not be locked into one marketplace. That matters because the next 10 years of work will be more freelance, more remote, and more global. The payment infrastructure has to match.

  @gdb I’ve been utilizing ChatGPT work to clear, organize and stay on top of my Gmail, Google Drive, Notion and local file system. I have scheduled tasks that run twice each day that scans my gmail, sends me a push notification of all my important and time sensitive emails, then it sorts them into folders to bring my inbox back down to zero. I have a weekly one that runs for Notion and Google Drive. I have been testing it for other things so I can become a power user but these are the first main uses right now. Two things I’ve been trying to get it to be useful at are: language learning resources/prep and then long multi-chain and multi-step schedules tasks that access both my Notion and Google Drive.

  @TutaPrivacy Tuta Mail doesn't help anything as long as you still send to providers like Gmail, Yahoo, etc. Signal is centralized + you have to register --> use SimpleX for maximum privacy. Tor is too slow for daily use --> Vanadium, Librewolf, Mullvad, Brave...
