So Google is training its AI on email I receive which, if I'm correct, is itself increasingly AI generated marketing slop, which was itself trained on social media content and engagement which- you guessed it- is more and more AI slop, just a techno dystopian human centipede of bullshit

Is this happening to all other users or just one?

Any iOS differences between the devices?

Everything good requires maintenance and support.

Every team, every alliance, every success, every community, society, town, city, county, country requires collaboration and negotiation, empathy, and a concerted effort to prevent chaos and failure.

Good leadership can do these things.

Today is when the Amazon brain drain finally sent AWS down the spout When your best engineers log off for good, don’t be surprised when the cloud forgets how DNS works column  "It's always DNS" is a long-standing sysadmin saw, and with good reason: a disproportionate number of outages are at their heart DNS issues. And so today, as AWS is still repairing its downed cloud as this article goes to press, it becomes clear that the culprit is once again DNS. But if you or I know this, AWS certainly does.…

Anyone else on mastodon?

It is definitely quieter over there but also truly federated. It appears it’s only a matter of time before bluesky is compromised

This is technically possible with the xml but is a hairy process. An app called Textmate has the ability to copy/paste FileMaker snippets to the clipboard allowing you to alter the underlying xml. I also believe the baseelements plugin can achieve this. That said it would be a nice native feature!

Innovative Approach to Error Trapping and Handling in FileMaker - Part 1 of 2 Learn about a defensive approach to FileMaker programming, in which we assert conditions in our code and trap for and handle errors.

FileMaker developers often skip error trapping because:
✔️ No built-in try-catch blocks
✔️ Scripts get messy
✔️ Seems like overkill

But skipping it damages security, data integrity & UX. Try our solution for the process: www.soliantconsulting.com/blog/error-t...

Ma got me a wicked new slammah at newbury comics I’m gonna slam all ya pogs kehd!

He literally looks like a Sith

W/r/t export field contents vs create data file, the former was introduced in ver 6, and the latter in version 18. I’m assuming changing the code behind export field contents was hairy/could impact legacy solutions. But you’d have to ask someone at Claris to know for certain

Right on!

I’m limited on FileMaker cloud - You might be SOL

Things i would consider- use base64, write to data file, or look into the container storage-use external storage on the server and try to get the filepath of the container file and attach that

Or move from FileMaker cloud to different hosting

Loved this game except for the whining/crying anytime baby mario would float away

There’s a session tomorrow with matt navarre i plan to check out, one of their explorer labs, with a section on “where ai excels with FileMaker and use cases”

Claris needs to present some use cases and examples of people doing things other than semantic searches. Show us how to use AI to run deep analysis on large data sets, find patterns, compare data etc beyond what a human can do

I’ve also struggled to find use cases for ai integrations in FileMaker. I’m much more intrigued by ai assisting in development (scripts and calcs). So far it’s been mostly examples of ai assisted finds etc.

Not to be confused with the very cool four toothed Mason wasp - a true garden bro

It’s amazing how these seemingly minor improvements make such an impact on developer QOL.

Then set the json values as variables like $firstname=john $lastname=smith, the variables having the same name as the field names. So a single custom function with no parameter to create variables of every field on the layout

The issue was chatgpt was certain that let couldn’t set local or global variables. After providing resources showing it was possible it did correct itself, but Claude got it right the first try. I’d have to dig out the function but it was to return the fields on the current layout as a json object
