Cyrus (@cyrusasg) reportedsome takeaways from the kimi k3 report i think are most relevant for app layer companies that invest in post training: 1. kimi decomposes the agent harness into configurable modules (tool interfaces, system prompts, context management, skills, memories, subagents) and instantiates different configs per task group during RL, because a fixed harness overfits the model to that tool schema and interaction protocol. they randomize because they’re shipping weights into harnesses they don’t control. if you own the harness and it’s identical at train and inference, overfitting to it can be free performance. instead randomize the axis that actually varies at deploy. for many app layer companies that’s the tool schema, since tools are customer-defined and they change. and it means sampling your current customers isn’t enough. the schemas you need to perform don’t necessarily exist yet, so synthetic augmentation is a powerful lever. 2. for assistant tasks they built mock gmail, notion, slack, canvas. core semantics preserved, no external apis or rate limits. on top of that, they added persistent environments over multiple simulated days, dozens of interdependent events across apps, each carrying its own eval criterion, and up to thousands of tool calls per rollout. the takeaway is that if your agent acts on customer systems, the mock is not a testing convenience, it’s the training environment, and its fidelity is a hard ceiling on what RL can teach. the expensive part is the event stream and the state that persists across it. 3. non-verifiable rewards go through a generative RM with tournament-style binary comparisons. but the judge doesnt just pick a winner, it has to read the outputs, generate a rubric for that specific comparison, score both against it, and write those to a scorepad. the pairwise outcome is still the reward, the rubric is scaffolding it has to produce first. two things worth stealing. binary comparison mitigates the calibration problem absolute (ie likert) scoring has, and forcing per-comparison criteria before the verdict keeps it from collapsing into vibes. 4. the anti-reward-hacking design runs on one assumption: the agent optimizes against whatever it can see and touch, so you keep the scoring surface out of reach. in their autonomous execution tasks that means agents never see the verifier. a public verifier returns diagnostic feedback the agent can act on, a hidden verifier scores held-out scenarios and never talks back, and submissions carry a penalty under a limited budget so brute-forcing the feedback loop costs something. at the infra layer, sandboxes get forked so grading runs on an exact clone and can’t perturb the environment the agent is still working in. then they assume it gets through anyway. the hack list is maintained and extended as new strategies show up mid-training. ie for kernels that meant catching cuda graph replay, input caching, precision reduction. web dev zeroes the reward outright if the project fails to build or fakes the artifact instead of implementing it. the takeaway is to try to separate the signal you show the agent from the signal you score it with, and treat reward hacking as an ongoing surface with an owner rather than a bug you fix once.

NKFU! (@nkfu) reported@FaheemBasheer4 @TeamYouTube @YouTube My friend, I have a similar problem. I'm trying to solve it. I have a question: are these two channels under the same AdSense account but linked to two different Gmail addresses, or are they linked to a single email address?

AtlSteel (@ATLSteel1) reportedSuper annoying that you can't turn off the spam filter in Gmail. I've missed enough important emails that it is a problem. I know the workaround by setting a filter that allows all emails, but then all the other filters don't work. Why can't I have control over what emails I want to see?

phed (@PhedEU) reportedYouTube Trust Score - Is it important, yes or no? 12 months ago no one cared, no one used these words - then all of a sudden all my DMs and replies are asking about how to achieve the perfect trust score So is it important? YES (and NO) The only thing you need to care about is not looking like a bot. If you do not act exactly like a robot would, you have nothing to be afraid of If you are a normal personality based YouTuber, this post is 99.9% not for you The problem of trust scores was created with the rise of faceless YouTube, as people are running 10,20 or even 100+ YouTube channels Imagine you are Google: what do you do when an IP registers a new gmail address, then creates a new YouTube channel under it, and posts videos (all within the same day?) Answer: you likely nuke that channel’s reach. Why? Because this is exactly what a spam/scam bot would do So your method of “bypassing the 0 view jail issue” is quite literally to not act like a bot. If you already have a channel that’s getting a reasonable amount of views (even 1K views per 48 hours is reasonable), then simply create a channel under that email too. You can have many channels under one email. If you have a gmail you’ve been using for years? Even better, google already trusts that email. If you haven’t even made your first $100K on YouTube yet, for the love of God stop researching proxies, residential IPs and multilogin internet browsers There is only 1 step: don’t act stupid

JMHBM (@JMHBM01) reportedSpeaking of data collection: Following a landmark ruling by the Regional Court of Cologne involving a blackmail case, Tuta was forced to develop a targeted "monitoring function". While the court acknowledged Tuta cannot break its own encryption to reveal stored, historical emails, they ordered Tuta to capture communications at the point of ingress and egress. When an unencrypted email arrives (for example, from a standard Gmail account), it hits Tuta's servers in plain text for a fraction of a second before the server encrypts it. The monitoring function successfully copies this plain text before the encryption occurs.

Ai Agency (@AiAgencyGoat) reportedA 12-person accounting firm was spending 6 hours a day on manual invoice processing. Names. Amounts. Due dates. Line items. All entered by hand. One agent cut that to 25 minutes of review. Here's the complete build. 🧵 The size of this problem: Manual invoice processing costs businesses: → $15-40 per invoice in labor (industry estimate) → 3-5% error rate causing payment delays and disputes → 2-6 hours per day for businesses handling high volume For a business processing 50 invoices/week: → 50 x $25 average = $1,250/week = $5,000/month in labor → Your agent: $1,500/month setup + $800/month retainer → Client saves $3,200/month net — from day one That math closes itself on every discovery call. The complete invoice processing agent: Trigger: → Gmail trigger: new email arrives with PDF attachment at billing inbox → Or: file uploaded to a designated Google Drive folder Stage 1 — PDF extraction: → n8n's PDF node extracts all text from the attachment → Handles multi-page invoices automatically → Passes raw text to the next stage Stage 2 — Structured data extraction (LLM): System prompt instructs the LLM to return JSON only: → vendor_name → invoice_number → invoice_date → due_date → subtotal → tax_amount → total_amount → line_items (array) → payment_terms → extraction_confidence (high/medium/low) Stage 3 — Validation: → IF confidence is low → flag for human review → IF required fields are missing → flag for human review → IF total doesn't match line item sum → flag for human review → All other invoices → proceed automatically Stage 4 — Data output: → Appends new row to Google Sheets with all extracted fields → Or: creates record in accounting software via API (QuickBooks, Xero) → Timestamp and source email logged for audit trail Stage 5 — Notifications: → Slack message to accounts team: invoice details summary → Email reply to sender confirming receipt (optional) → Urgent flag if due date is within 7 days Stage 6 — Exception handling: → Flagged invoices go to a separate "Needs Review" sheet → Slack alert to designated reviewer with the specific issue noted → Reviewer corrects and marks as resolved The numbers clients care about: → Processing time per invoice: 8 seconds vs 8 minutes → Error rate: near zero vs 3-5% manual → Invoices that need human review: 10-15% (unusual formats, poor scan quality) → Hours saved per week: 4-20 depending on volume The expansion upsell: After 60 days, propose: "Now that we have all your invoice data in a structured database, I can add a payment tracking agent that monitors due dates and sends automated reminders to vendors. Want me to scope that?" One agent becomes two. Retainer increases. I cover this full build in my course. Follow and like this post and I'll DM it to you. (Must be followed for DM)

Cortex (@0xCortexl) reportedANTHROPIC RELEASED AN OPEN STANDARD THAT IS DOING TO AI TOOLS WHAT HTTP DID TO THE WEB - AND 90% OF DEVELOPERS STILL DON'T KNOW IT EXISTS every AI integration today is custom code - and when the model changes everything breaks MCP is the first protocol built for how models actually think - the model asks what can you do, the server responds, the model picks what it needs with zero glue code Google Calendar, Notion, Gmail - old way is 3 integrations of 500 lines each - MCP is 3 servers and the model figures out the rest the same way HTTP let any browser talk to any website - MCP lets any model talk to any tool save and learn this today - developers who understand MCP now will build the infrastructure everyone else runs on

Naren (@ur_0000007) reported@gmail First, fix your ******* web app. Deleted emails keep coming back like this **** is haunted.

KING DAVID BET (@Geezyprotips) reportedAround 2024 a young boy I use to know reached out to me on whatsapp and was like boss are you still in Ghana please I will like you to help me escape from where I am in Ghana, I asked him what’s happening and if he’s safe. He said he’s safe just that he left his parents in Nigeria and came to Ghana for HK. That ever since he came , they’ve turned him into their errand boy, their dry cleaner and slave., the worst part of it all before he eats food it’s usually 4pm and that’s all he will have for the day till the next day simply because he hasn’t Cashout. He also said his boss seized his phone,that the only reason he’s able to have my number is because he had to login his gmail into the phone they gave to him which they only use WiFi for. He barely sleeps as they are always online all day and night., whoever sleeps will be dealt with except for the new taker’s that are allowed to sleep. I asked him how does he plan to escape, he said he has 100k naira in his bank account but he wont be able to withdraw it till he gets to nigeria with his atm. So i reached out to a cross-country biker, i met in 2017 off which we became friends because i usually send him SportyBet codes, explained everything to him and he asked if the boy can find his way to Aflao border, i called the boy he said yes. The next day he got to the border, the biker man crossed him to Togo, talked to a taxi driver to please take him to seme border. That when he gets to seme he will pay him, the driver agreed. Soon as they got to seme, the boy was able to withdraw cash and pay the driver and also pay the biker. That was how he went back to Enugu and washed his hands from anything fraud! If you’re ever having that mindset of going to join HK, please don’t instead go and learn mechanic, barber or plumbing. HK is modern form of slavery, you’re actually working for the boss. If you’re not a smoker once you get there you must learn how to smoke, womanize and also join cult!

Max Clark (@maxclark) reportedDoes anyone know anyone on the @Google @gmail engineering team? I'd love to be able to report spam and move on with life. Instead you mark spam, then get asked if you want to unsubscribe instead, then you get asked if you want to block the sender, then you're still staring at the message (no-autoadvance or return to inbox). Using "move to spam" as a keyboard action does the exact same thing so that's not a fix. I want to mark a message as spam, have it disappear (instantly), and auto-advance to my next email in my inbox. THINK FAST!!! I'm considering to write an apps-script and a custom folder just to move this to the background.

7h3h4ckv157 (@7h3h4ckv157) reportedGoogle prevents Gmail users from setting single-word names such as "Google" as their profile name, along with enforcing other restrictions such as symbols, length limits, and reserved keywords to reduce impersonation. However, the same validation wasn't enforced on the server during the mail sending process, allowing restricted display names to be injected into outgoing emails. This is display name spoofing, not email or domain spoofing. Risk: Scammers can utilize this to make phishing emails appear more convincing by impersonating trusted display names.

John Peterson (@johnpetersontx) reported@james406 I don’t understand the issue here. Gmail is exceptional at finding emails. Maybe people don’t know the query syntax?

Howie | ChinaTripBox (@aomanhanliu) reportedPro tip: Set up Alipay + WeChat Pay + VPN + offline maps before you land. It saves 80% of the stress.Most common problems foreigners face in their first week in China (2026):Mobile payments China is almost completely cashless. Alipay & WeChat Pay are everywhere. Setting them up with a foreign card can be painful (freezes, verification fails, some shops reject foreign-linked accounts). Cash is only a backup. Internet Google, Instagram, WhatsApp, YouTube, Gmail… all blocked. You must install a good VPN before you arrive. Google Maps also doesn’t work properly here. Language barrier English is rare outside big hotels and top tourist spots. Ordering food, asking directions, or using apps becomes a daily struggle. Getting around Train tickets are strictly name-matched to your passport. You need Amap (Gaode) or Apple Maps. Didi is essential but depends on payment apps. Small but annoying extras Some cheap hotels still refuse foreigners Must register your address within 24 hours Carry your passport everywhere

˗ˏˋ Jesse Hanley ˎˊ˗ (@jessethanley) reported@JackEllis @Fastmail All inbox providers are having these issues. There's a lot of backchannel conferences where they are trying to tackle it. It's hard because lots are rotating through Gmail accounts/IPv6s which is harder to block. Cold emailing has gotten really sophisticated now.

Rafael Aleksandryan (@NoVibeJustOrch) reported@pitdesi He also conspired with others in NIH and outside of it to hide their emails from FOIA requests. "I always try to communicate on gmail because my NIH email is FOIA’d constantly" ...that doesn't sound like an innocent guy, though I agree it's the most sensational issue.
