I’m beginning to hate @vercel with the heat of a thousand suns. In June they decided that using the Next 13 functionality for showing a simple spinner while a page loads should be billed differently. And by different I mean: they raised our bill from $20 to $680 for the same site

Könnte ja toll sein, wenn man nicht auf dem Weg darauf bestehen würde, zum 17. Mal die E-Mail neu zu erfinden...

Ok, Eigenversuch. 1. Ergebnis: BundID crashed, wenn man versucht einen Elster-Zugang und einen ePA zu koppeln, weil der ePA alle Werte in ALL CAPS hat und es sich ganz klar deshalb um einen anderen Bürger handelt.... Why even try.

If you're wondering how much work goes into investigative reporting, these are *only* the interview transcripts for a single article I'm drafting right now for @OCCRP. This isn't even counting the court & company records, open source trawling, etc.

Listening to 4 bankers talk about AI. There’s something so weirdly scripted about how institutions relate to innovation now: recognize 3 benefits, name 2 concerns, say you’re ahead of it, but that really we’ll see later. Applause.

Except the poor sod from Citi who still has the Metaverse in his slides. His pain was real.

Replying to @lopezlinette
Last year tech stocks got creamed, crypto is dying, there may be a recession coming, higher interest rates are making money harder to come by, and no one cares about the Metaverse. That's why we're all suddenly hear about AI nonstop. businessinsider.com/ai-techn…

The suggestion for social network services to "open their algorithm" has always annoyed me (cool thing to say on a panel, probably not useful in practice). Twitter is, I guess, doing the experiment. Will this create any outcomes relevant to accountability?
Twitter has released the code for its recommender. I am reading through this documentation and the actual repo and will have commentary soon. blog.twitter.com/engineering…
