Tomorrow is the mid-term elections here in the U.S.
I'm nearly sick with stress. Trump appears to be on the verge of a two-year lame duck presidency....spiked with non-stop investigations of him and everyone who works for him.
The stress is about his reaction - I am deeply worried he will simply declare the election invalid or declare martial law or both. The military has been stripped of leaders who are not 100% Trump.
I have read too much history.
From a global allocation perspective, Sam Altman is a very sub-optimal use of nutriments.
I get it now. CEOs are fine with and are pushing vibe coding because they’ve always been comfortable taking credit for other people’s work. and their lack of empathy prevents them from understanding most people are not like that.
I'm a moderately successful part time footballer and teacher. I had an altercation with an opposition player where I told him I'd shit down his neck and called him a cunt only to hear from the crowd hello Mr…… I just looked and asked if he'd done his homework
@fesshole
The "If you HAVEN'T done your homework, you're next" is implied.
Random access memory is so expensive now programmers are going back to Turing machines
it's pretty funny that a decade ago I was internet famous for being an American infosec expert and now I'm internet famous for having the biggest dog in Amsterdam and people have lost track of the American origin story

@isaaclyman @jcoglan So true. It's no different, really, than ten years ago when we were all rolling our eyes at "I have a brilliant mobile app idea! But I don't know how to program. I can't tell you what it is or you might steal my precious idea, but if I can contract you under an NDA to write the code, I'll give you 10% of the profits."
What's really novel is hearing that line of thinking from people who have historically *known how to write code* and have commensurate ego about it.
We know the idea is worth nothing without execution, but now we also know that execution is worth nothing without time investment. I wonder what we'll be figuring out in ten years.
My niece is starting her first job as an RN. I’m so freaking proud of her.
@greene <insert clapping> Congrats to you and your niece!

Proton employee on Reddit:
"To be honest to you, we're all in a bit of a shock after reading the articles written, and some of the criticism hurts me because it described a company I don't recognize. Reading the comments on Reddit hurts me because so many of them do not reflect reality. Proton is not rushing into AI without concern for safety, it is actually being done very carefully.
If you're deciding whether to keep using Proton, I'd just ask that you make that decision after getting the full picture, and not solely on the quotes that have been intentionally taken out of context. Otherwise, you are only hurting the workers that you claim to want to protect."
@rolle
Not specific to this case in any way, but:
I've come to think that any comment starting with "honestly" tends to be the exact opposite. Who needs to stress out honesty except the one who is not?
@hyc cosigned! It seems like pure tedium, but it's actually very valuable to type stuff in out of a manual, because the boredom drives you to think about what you're typing, and gives you practice debugging simple syntax problems with a known-good reference program.
I think a (solvable) problem today is that back in the day, hardware platforms just did more for you. As someone who got into computers post-2000 originally, it was actually mindblowing to get into retro stuff and discover "oh the hardware would render text for you. And sprites. And if you wanted to know the joystick position you'd just read this memory location." You can do advanced stuff close to the metal when this is your metal. #uxn is a good modern counterpart in a lot of ways.
One of the damaging ways software "ate the world" (Andreesennnn!) is that these features moved upwards for portability, and now you need a lot of software between you and the anemic hardware.
an American rando spitefully called me a "eurodork" for unclear reasons. this will look great on my inburgering application

We are in the age of intellectual strip mining.
Ooh nice image. Intellectual clear-cutting.
@healyn yeah, “do you the guy on the Newman’s Own bottle fucks?” Buddy, more than you could possibly know
