It feels like Vance is playing the part of Edith Bolling Galt Wilson in protecting Trump from the 25th amendment (then Article II), but he absolutely sucks at it.

Well, I used 3.5 via Cursor to do some coding earlier today, and the output kind of sucked. Ran it through 3.7 a few minutes ago, and it's much more concise and makes sense. Just a little anecdotal high five from me.

Yeah, I have already done some of this. I hadn't read Wired in years, but rewarded them with a subscription as soon as they revealed the identity of Elon's minions.

The inevitable consequence of misconfigured Watchtower disease, I suppose. I pay for Docker because I like all of their products, and their private registry + scout is good, so I can go on misconfiguring all of the things!

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I personally lend at least some degree of credence to their claim, given that this is Microsoft we're talking about and not some startup.

If their claim is true, then would that present an issue to RSA encryption? I find it difficult to find information on this topic that is digestible to a layman.

My understanding is that the benefit of quantum computing is parallelism, and I'm not sure how today's encryption standards would be safe from brute force attacks.

Can you expand on this? I find this topic difficult to find solid information on, for some reason.

Your default assumption should be ill intent when it comes to information security, my friend.

RSA in trouble when?

Kagi is well worth the money. Just converted my monthly sub into an annual. It just flat out works better than any other search engine I've come across. Also, the ability to just filter/weight sites that it returns is incredible. I'm not sure how Google is this far behind at search, but here we are.

It will eventually come when machine eyes are better than human eyes. Replace the eyeballs with a processing unit connected to optics, use the body's energy through a connection to the eye stalk.

Marketing: Your vision will be much better, but the downside is that you're going to need to eat two pints of ice cream every day. Or if you want to lose weight, just eat one pint of ice cream every day.

Obsidian has a spaced repetition community plugin that I use when I write documentation. I add a flashcard for everything that I want to learn.

So you just put #flashcards inline (or whatever you tell it to look for) at the bottom if your file.

And then:

This is a question::this is the answer. This is another question::this is another answer.

I run through my cards about 30 minutes before I start work. It works very well.

You can pull this up, if you'd like.

I would assume that they have known Elon Musk is a fraud longer than the general public, and want to position themselves in the market before Tesla inevitably collapses.

Yeah, out here in reality, when you keep doing unhinged things, people start to assume you are -- or are going to do -- unhinged things. That's why those of us living lives tethered by the rules of society try to preserve our benefit of doubt.

Yeah, and in fact, it was my first thought. He's an emotional man-baby with a God complex. Leaked credentials? Probably not. Those are hashed because competent engineers created the platform before he got there.

Made the account easier to be hacked? Yes, probably. That would be my assumption. Changed password, changed MFA, changed owner e-mail, etc. They no longer have a real support team, but I'm sure the support mechanisms are still all in place.

"Hacked"

Feels like something Elon would orchestrate for the purposes of trolling the SEC.

How did you parse forced adoption out of that sentence? Heh. For most of them, all it took was me telling them it would make my life easier. For the others, the animated middle finger stickers.

The fact that they do not have a platform agnostic version of iMessage -- even if it requires 2FA from an Apple device like the $1200 iPhone that I was forced to buy -- is utter bullshit. I had to convert my friends one-by-one over to Telegram because I prefer Windows/Linux PCs and I don't really check my phone that much.

I'm knee-deep in Apple's ecosystem, because I like all of their other products, but I can't use iMessage because I prefer to use a PC. This has been a thorn in my side for years.

There can be only one reason that iMessage is available on Apple devices exclusively and it's at least antitrust adjacent. For this alone, I hope they get fined a gigantic amount of money.

This thing looks like the most inefficient vehicle of all time. You can see with your eyes that it's poorly engineered. Why did anyone believe any of the positive claims made about it?

Idea shamelessly lifted from Zack Fox.

Unless you admin more than 3-4 databases, and then it's a nightmare unless you never close it.

You can stop using M$ if you want. It's not the 90's anymore. Every company could have a $.

Something less shitty, I would imagine.

It worked for SomethingAwful.com before Reddit and 4Chan launched, and now SA is essentially dead. Why do you think that is?

I don't know how you can claim this.

The unpoliced proliferation of absolute horseshit, buried under an insurmountable pile of "verification" checkmark replies, is a form of censorship in my opinion.

I hate the team building stuff so much. Every ounce of enthusiasm always feels incredibly fake to me, no matter what. It feels like sales people trying to include the engineers because they see them in a corner trying to avoid being included, and don't realize that it's their preference.

I've wondered about the DEI thing, but there's no way to know really. Nobody is going to tell me if that was considered. I suspect not, though.

I find that specific experience doesn't really matter because every job I've gotten has been a complete reset stack wise.

I have a lot of varied experience, but I think what sets me apart is that tech is actually fun for me. My work/life balance naturally tilts towards work. I'm not just looking to climb a ladder, get more money, or protect my job by making myself irreplaceable. By that, I mean that I document everything I do like I'm going to die tomorrow, and like I care about the DX of whomever takes over my role.

I also don't care if I look dumb. I ask dumb questions and I don't try to hide that I'm human. I've done this my entire life, and it's really paid off. I learn more quickly than my peers most of the time, and this is exactly why -- I lean into the impostor syndrome and own it.

I don't know. I just got hired on somewhere using this criteria, and I leave behind a remote-only position that I excelled in for the past four years. And I excelled in several more remote-only positions before that one.

I don't have a degree or any certifications either, due to the same disability that prevents me from going into an office.

It is an employers' market and the employers that create arbitrary barriers of entry for talent will find themselves recruiting from a pool of desperate talent, which may be by design because desperate talent also costs less.

However, I'm not desperate and the managers that hire me find out why that is pretty quickly.

Yeah, as soon as I see that 2 days a month thing, I'm not applying for the position. That's my only critique.
