Yay, we've found another way to give LLMs biases.

I can see how obscure but useful nuggets of information that you rarely need, but are critical when you do, will be lost too.

If the weighting was shared between users, an attacker could use this feedback loop to promote their product or ideology, by executing fake interactions that look successful.

Stop disagreeing with me, I don't want any more prompts from you, your code is now externally maintained.

That system was what fed into the one I touched, which was an offline batch pipeline, so I wasn't tooinvolved with the Gmail internals that you're talking about. I know about 10 years ago many Googlers had the same sort of problems as you describe, I assume it's a tiny bit better these days, most of the backend has been replaced over that time. Expensive operations are often slow to ensure there is reasonable isolation between users, so you don't hurt someone elses experience when you do these things. They aren't frequent operations/CUJs so they aren't optimized either.

I used to work on the system at Google which processed deleted emails to ensure they are deleted across all systems it might have touched (eg, delete any calendar events created by the email, rebuild indexes, delete backup restore keys etc). Deleting an email was remarkably significantly more resource intensive compared to just leaving it alone, so this advice could only make the situation worse.

Except you can store the passwords on a usb key / remote over bluetooth, and then also keep them secret from the potentially compromised host.

I need to write up my experience. But I'm trying it out. Linux needs something like this. I've had issues, posted traces and had them fixed in seconds. Pretty damn amazing. I'd love to see a bigger team involved though.

What are some good alternatives to express the same concept?

This is a great way to send all of your files to the author of the utility / operator of the website.

This is in the private address space like 192.168.0.0, blocking doesn't make sense in this context.

They don't tell you why, so it's strange to say this is the reason. At Google the interviewers write up the discussion, questions and answers, and a separate committee decides based on the feedback from all the interviewers. There is no scoring for pun quality sadly.

See also https://codesearch.debian.net/ - https://github.com/Debian/dcs for a similar project that may fit your needs better. I've not compared them both, but I use dcs frequently

If you have access to the registrar, you can point the domain at a different dns provider that you do have access to, and update the details there.
