It seems like there is a genuine communication breakdown between management and engineering. Engineers know that there are vulnerabilities all over the place and that there have been for ages and that where the rubber hits the road every vulnerability does not represent a successful exploit by some nefarious actor.

Management can often treat cybersecurity like a black box that represents millions upon millions in liability. If Mythos represents an opportunity to bring management's understanding of the amount of "security vulnerability debt" everyone carries into the real world, it might be a good thing

For those who remember, the flagellum was a major site of the Intelligent Design debate that gave us Christopher Rufo (via the Discovery Institute)

The general idea was that there were specific examples of "irreducible complexity" that proved that there was an intelligent designer. The project on the part of certain Christian political factions was to add a veneer of hypothesis testing to creationism. The god of the gaps retreats further

Society is kinetic and disparate because of social media

We're all on top of one another, and different cross tabs feel different ways about the same thing. So there is room for empathy and antipathy to coexist

If you read the New York Times and The Atlantic there is lots of empathy for the male loneliness crisis

I am in between the age of you and your son it seems. As a man who has not missed any of the "misandry", I think the overly online conservative young men are an embarrassment and I hope they grow out of it

I have a lot of fun creating stories with Gemini and Claude. It feels like what Tom Hanks character imagined comic books could be in Big (1988)

I play once or twice a week and it's definitely worth $20/mo to me

To save the url length, why not hash all possible states and have the value of the variable in the query string refer to that?

I bet if you knew your house would burn down if you didn't do "normal" things you would have done them no problem

Getting yourself to do things in a boring situation that you might only do in an exciting situation is a big challenge in ADHD management

If everything was a "house on fire" level emergency, many ADHDers would get more done but would eventually collapse from running around on adrenaline for days

These problems are not easily solved

I should have said, I am looking for posted chat logs where the prompts are shared as well. I really enjoy the process of making stories with AI and I am curious to see how others do the same thing.

Where would you go to find people posting their AI generated fiction? I haven't been able to find it on Reddit

That makes sense. Treasury and Cash Management have been business functions forever.

The novelty of software engineering from an employee risk standpoint from my perspective was its control over product but in an insurance company, funds are the product too.

If factory workers could delete the processes and equipment they work on with the press of a button, they would be bought off too

Paying tech workers high wages reflects the need for them to side with capital when it comes to protecting assets

I had an Ask HN last weekend that did not get any responses but I would still love to learn what governance prevents workers from deleting key software products and their backups because I can't believe boards of directors are not responsible to guarantee product continuity to shareholders

They had put a committee together in case Harris won.

They lost

The committee dumps their report and disbands

Trump's 1776 commission for redesigning history education released their report days before Biden's inauguration. They published by linking a PDF to the White House website and days later it was gone. Dust in the wind.

The quality of reddit's data is different from other data I encounter online.

It represents information more closely related to people's lives. People share information there that is closely related to the topic of the subreddit. This may not always be the case, but even though I spend much, much less time on reddit than I did in 2011, many, many people are contributing to this day.

That spigot of connection to the real world through text sounds valuable to AI based on TFA. I feel the oil analogy would be about the quality and the ease of extraction of the stake

I think different senses of responsibility are under discussion

The parent comment I believe was saying that we do not orchestrate other people's emotions and you are saying that we do impact other people's emotions and both can be true
