Yet these leaders sit on Twitter all day engaging in petty nonsense, but demand 12 hr days from workers. How productive are they during those 12 hrs?
How do people with elderly parents, or young kids or other responsibilities outside of work deal with such awful schedules?
Re:Memos – An open source Rewinds / Recall

Great work, op. As others have said, encryption is vital to such a project. In fact if your ethos is privacy, it would be great marketing material to assure users that this is in fact resistant to basic infiltration.
I think recall is a fantastic idea, even for professionals and corporate env. But the kind of sensitive information that is handled by employees cannot risk being leaked from such a tool.

That's not the point, though. It's not how generous he is with his money. It's how he sees money, its purpose in his life. People who see wealth as a force multiplier don't gorm habits of being careless with it. Just like you see people who have no money live pay check to pay check, take on debt just to assume a class they don't exist in. Yet you used to see Bezos in a camry and Buffet in some equally run of the mill car. It's because these people place value on everything, a car to themis just depreciating numbers. They formed a habit of critically assessing the "why".
Back to the topic at hand: Tipping is a ridiculous notion that the wealthy can see through, while the rest of us are too brainwashed to objectively analyze

For one, we don't have to pay for basic amenities like security and alerts. To heck with gouging the customer for basic feature sets. Aws have their faults, but enabling teams to get the whole elastic experience without the weird nickle and diming is a blessing. Good on Amazon and boo elastic.

If we've learned anything from the security cam and baby cam scandals, then it's that convenience is king and we as a society would rather risk everything than be arsed to take few additional steps to setup/learn something to prevent such basic breaches. We (the society) don't even want to change the default password on most things.

That's genuinely creative. I mean the execution, not the act itself. Imagine spending hours in a darkroom to create passable smut and knowing there's a market for that. I guess it's true that any new tech will have one of its first applications dedicated to tickling our monkey brains

Re:Dev rejects CVE severity, makes his GitHub repo read-only
on Sunday June 30, 2024 @12:37PM (#40838161)
CISO and people in his office (the so-called cyber security experts) are nothing but report pushers. They run vulnerability scans on code, and whatever comes back from packages like Tenable, they send to everyone to justify their own existence. They don't consider the severity, they don't consider snd differentiate between attack surfaces and attack vectors. They just hound you and your superiors in the name of insurance liabilities... they suck. They turn developers into hounds that harass other developers for fixes. Out goes the desire to work on a software because all you're doing is patching nonsense every day because some ciso somewhere is unsatisfied. To hell with each and every ciso. Security is important and having cyber folks that have programming background is even more important. Mindless lemmings otherwise.

Data intended to be read as instructions for the interpreter or the cpu, is a whole different ballgame than data intended to convey values of something. High order sparse/dense matrices serialized in some xyz format is what most people think of when they hear the word "model". To switch it up and send some arbitrary python file and execute it on the client is a security nightmare. This outrageous.
Re:The Washington Post Tells Staff It's Pivoting to AI

Block chain was easy to avoid. Yes the hysteria was the same, but the foundational and fundamental shifts in how the common person does something has changed for many. I've noticed with my own 'non techie' family members who have started using various integrations of LLM and less Google. An impact of something on society at large can usually be measured by how it is used by the youth of today. Chatgpt started by aiding kids in their assignments, but now many depend on it for answers to various non academic questions.
Whereas Block chain was not part of an average 5th grader's daily computer usage.
Not just that, but anything with a subject in it felt uncanny valleyish... like that cowboy clip, the gate of the horse stood out as odd and then I gave it some attention . It seems like a camel's gate. And whole thing seems to be hovering, gliding rather than walking. Sora indeed seems to have an advantage
