What are that pizza place google statistics?

Cloudflare offers some genuinely valuable services that protect you from exposing your infrastructure to the world wild web. And regardless why does a private institution like LaLiga have the power to censor anything they want for their own benefit?

My point is that people don't understand nor know that this is happening at all. Even when I get customers complaining that the service isn't available, they don't believe that their ISP is blocking them because of football. It's almost unbelievable for how absurd it sounds that people don't even think that could be the reason.

I have commented this in multiple occasions. What is happening here in Spain with LaLiga is just absurd. My company's domain gets blocked often because we use CloudFlare. In essence, any service using CloudFlare gets blocked often. The main problem is that the common Joe tries to navigate and finds that it doesn't work, and they blame their network, and when they come back two hours later after the game finished, the website works, so they move on. The only way for this to get resolved is if they blocked something critical and an accident happened because of that (e.g. hospital services, traffic control, or something like that). Eventually this will escalate to national courts (currently this was dictated by a regional court in Barcelona). But again, legal action is extremely slow. VPNs are becoming a must everywhere, because the Internet is becoming wild from all directions.

Same thing for me. It crashes. Submitted a report with the "Send to Apple" report, not sure if there is any way the team can retrieve these reports.

I have never leveraged git worktrees... That is such a crazy useful tool that I am almost ashamed of not having researched it before. Git is such a beautiful piece of software.

How do you work with multiple agents?
Comment · 1 year ago
This is nice. I liked Cheetah for grunt work that I want to get out quickly and is not too hard. The speed is really awesome. A model that would run at even higher speeds like the OSS models at groq/cerebras would really be workflow changing, because the slowness of SOTA models really breaks the flow. I find myself taking a ton of breaks and getting distracted while I wait for a model to complete a task (e.g. just now).

Cursor 2.0 keeps crashing on me while having an agent running and opening the IDE part of the application. I might have to rollback.

Could anyone explain how to use multiple agents and subagents in Cursor, Claude Code, or others? It is already challenging to me taming one model doing work, let alone synchronizing multiple parallel workers.

Do you have to split the plan in parallelizable tasks that could be worked in parallel in one codebase without breaking and confusing the other agents?

I live in Spain. The main problem is that your internet becomes patchy and things stop working for a few hours during the match. People notice the incident, but they don't understand what is happening, they just move on and come back few hours later for it to be resolved. Only some people understand the depth–usually tech people like us that get paged–and complain, and then the president from LaLiga call us a "bunch of freaks".

I have personally sent letters to everyone, including the court that ruled and allowed this whole mess. The judge in question must be either extremely incompetent or corrupted. The court response to this problem wasn't acknowledging it, but to double down, because it seems like some egos were hurt.

The only way I can imagine this situation stopping is by someone dying from a core healthcare system malfunctioning and a court case becoming viral. In the meantime, a single private institution can destroy the internet whenever they want, with full legal backup. Just insane.

Basic things like: "{uploaded image of a man} can you remove the glasses?" or "make everyone in the picture smile" or "open the eyes of everyone in the photo". Nothing that a human would consider "unsafe". I am based in EU and using Google AI Studio with all safety toggles set to "Off".

Unfortunately, it suffers from the same safetyism than other many releases. Half of the prompts get rejected. How can you have character consistency if the model is forbidden from editing any human. And most of my photo editing involves humans, so basically this is just a useless product. I get that Google doesn't want to be responsible for deep fake advances, but that seems inevitable, so this is just slightly delaying progress. Eventually we will have to face it and allow for society to adapt.

This trend of tools that point a finger at you and set guardrails is quite frustrating. We might need a new OSS movement to regain our freedom.

I live in Spain and my ISP is Digi, which uses the network from Telefonica. These blocks are incredibly frustrating, and a ton of people have noticed websites and services not working. However, because the block lasts some hours, people don't know what is happening: "is my mobile network bad?", "Is the website down?". They try a few hours later and it's back up, so they move on.

My company's website is behind Cloudflare and I discovered this whole situation because someone couldn't access it. Also my home assistant is not accessible from the internet the days with a match. And we use it to open the garage and the house. We learned the lesson the hard way being locked outside until I managed to connect with a VPN. This is just nuts and incredibly frustrating. And for La Liga we are just a bunch of "frikis" (nerds) complaining about it... because we are the only ones that understand what the problem is.

Unfortunately, someone would have to die and a lawsuit to follow, and maybe that could stop this crazy nonsense. E.g. A few days ago I read about someone with diabetes whose device was malfunctioning because of these blocks.
