Shit, it's supposed to be fresh?

I'll never forget when I transitioned from an internship to a full hire and the initial offer was lower than the pay range on the posting. Funny how they took the ranges off all future postings after I pointed that out.

I would browse the front page not logged in to find more algo-pushed trash that YouTube thinks are addictive. I'd also unsubscribe from anything you actually enjoyed and use the options to have YouTube not recommend more of it to you.

It is. It can also be quite fun.

I have two friends who first met because one was this girl's "platonic cuddle buddy" and the other was her fuckbuddy. Neither knew she was effectively getting half the relationship from the other and they both wanted a "full" relationship with her until they both showed up at an event she was at and it came out. When they found out they both "dumped" her and became friends.

Have to save this one for work. I might be a clown but this ain't my rodeo.

HBO did a three season show starring Alfred in a wildly stylized 1960s called Pennyworth. Was a pretty fun ride.

Oh boy, he's already starting talking openly about the inevitable push to thin clients renting compute from all the data centers after the AI bubble pops.

Don't ever forget: "You will own nothing, and be happy"

Leaked internal correspondence says they literally want to get people "addicted" to it.

Yup. Kind of surprised how people seem to have jumped to the idea this is something toxic.

I'm not talking about anything seriously crossing boundaries, I just want some fodder for domain specific teasing. Maybe worded things a bit extreme.

Pretty presumptuous to assume this is in any way toxic or mean.

I just wanted to tease him about his job, like when other friends ask me about my work week as a systems admin/engineer and then follow it up by making up absurd reasons for people to request admin rights.

 

I'm meeting up in a few weeks with a close friend I haven't seen in around a decade, who went hard into scrum and project management in the intervening years.

How can I cause the most psychological damage and work flashbacks in a single sentence?

 
 

For when someone has been doing a bit too much navel gazing, or is a bit too in love with their own thoughts.

My daughter is a little over two, and through well meaning family and friends we have more toys than we know what to do with.

My wife keeps buying what are essentially (fancy looking) big boxes and just dumping everything in them. Love my wife, but that's not working, it's just hiding some of the mess in a box.

We end up with these hardly ever opened boxes full of unorganized piles of toys that we end up having to dig through to find anything specific, and the toys that my daughter is actively using just end up scattered around the floor so they don't disappear into the box dimension.

Every once in a while my daughter opens and digs through the boxes and dumps half the contents on the floor anyway (not like she can see specific things to grab what she wants) and then we just kind of arbitrarily choose some of it to put back in the box and a new combination of mess to leave out.

Unfortunately we have another baby on the way, so I'm probably not getting my wife to let us toss any of it right now.

I'm leaning towards cubby shelves with individual bins for different "types" of toys like her daycare does, but I wanted to hear what strategies other parents tried, and what has and hasn't worked.

 

This blog post has been reported on and distorted by a lot of tech news sites using it to wax delusional about AI's future role in vulnerability detection.

But they all gloss over the critical bit: in fairly ideal circumstances where the AI was being directed to the vuln, it had only an 8% success rate, and a whopping 28% false positive rate!
