MarleTangible··on 28% of job postings on company career sites have been open over 90 days
Reposts from recruiting agencies or other unrelated companies to resell the candidates or simply farm user details for fraud etc.
MarleTangible··on 28% of job postings on company career sites have been open over 90 days
There are also a lot of reposts coming from recruiting companies.

I see a position getting posted for a local company, and within hours the same requirements are showing up for 10 new postings with vague company names like "... is wanted for a local manufacturer" etc.

MarleTangible··on Samsung is expected to more than double output of its HBM4 and HBM4E DRAM
One of the comments mentioned that they have a bus size of 2048, which may be why the latency is higher.

> These chips have a massive bus size of 2048 bits, instead of the 64 or 128 bits (dual channel) used by DDR5.

MarleTangible··on Data collected by cars and sold to third parties
Honda found a work around where they show you a warning on your dash if you disable data collection, similar to maintenance being due or low fuel.
MarleTangible··on Google copied our open-source code, removed engineers' names without credit
We were blaming Bambu Lab, but apparently Google is no different.
MarleTangible··on Thanks to Siri Recaps, your Apple Watch is always listening
I would like to raise another question. If I recap a meeting onto physical paper, by hand, is it still considered a felony?

The point I'm trying to make by this exaggeration is that sometimes the information itself is private and recording that information causes issues as well.

e.g. a military personal taking a pen and paper and listing some secret information they know of, this piece of paper by definition is also subject to regulation that is supposed to keep secret information secure.

MarleTangible··on Rust is tier-1 language at Microsoft
I'm quite skeptical of rust usage leading to anything that helps consumers. Microsoft managed to add arbitrary code execution to Notepad. And it all points to a total disregard of the end-user, not lack of talent or capacity.

Reminds me of how they allow OEMs to install bloatware through Windows update now. I believe LG did something that leads to various app installs when you connect their monitors via HDMI.

Outlook, Teams, and other all show up as msedgewebview2.exe, so you also don't know which app is consuming gigs of memory doing nothing.
MarleTangible··on OpenLogi
They also installed their AI apps to users' computers through their mouse driver without asking anyone.

I have no idea why a mouse driver is the single largest program I have to restore my computer.
MarleTangible··on Seats on hundreds of Boeing 737MAX were incorrectly installed:US aviation agency

To be honest, in an emergency, this can easily create the perfect storm.

You know who else sounds like LLM from time to time? ESL - English as a Second Language. People learn English from books, and get introduced to phrases through reading or interacting with others within the same community. So, it sounds like you're using the LLM argument as a way to diminish their voices as well.
MarleTangible··on Let's Encrypt bans certificate usage in any US sanctioned territory [pdf]
I always saw it as a trust-chain and think that anyone is welcomed to create a root certificate and distribute it to whomever trusts them. Most simple services may not need TLS, but with the ISPs eavesdropping on our communication, a form of secure communication is required and the currently best solution we have requires a trust-chain to be built.
MarleTangible··on The newest Instagram “exploit” is the goofiest I've seen
In theory there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice there is. Well, it gets complicated quickly when a wide range of users involved.
MarleTangible··on Meta launches Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp subscriptions
And YouTube recently (and silently) started approving multiple in-add ads for videos longer than 20 minutes. They destroyed the long-form content creators with their shorts push, and now it looks like they're trying to recover a little.
MarleTangible··on What Apple and Google are doing to push notifications
Just curious, what do you do with the increasing number of companies that use push notifications as a form of advertising venue, and how do you differentiate the security warning notification from your camera app from their special weekly annual sale notification?

The marginal cost of each notification is so low that companies simply spam users nonstop, and their A/B tests shows that the revenue is increasing. What's being lost though is that we're getting more and more agitated with these brands and their uncapped malicious behaviors. This is also true with their UI and UX as well, they keep adding banners with incredibly small close buttons, because someone will continue with the shopping after accidently missing the tiny button, and that's an added sale, who cares about 99% of users who are fuming with dissatisfaction, what are they going to throw away their $200-300 smart home device because companies abuse them?

MarleTangible··on AI didn't delete your database, you did
Back in early days of personal computers, the instructor told us that a computer just does what you tell tell it to do, though not always what you thought, and making a mistake thousands of times a second hurts a lot.

Sorry, I was responding to the comment, not the article.

I think it's about owning the consequences of one's own actions.
MarleTangible··on Homebridge 2.0 is here, and it speaks Matter
Please be cognizant of fake plugins. They replicate entire plugins including the readme files and link to the original repos, but the code itself is different.
MarleTangible··on ASML became the chokepoint for cutting-edge chips
I agree, for anyone who's not familiar with it, one is a marketing term while the other is the actual measurement.

So 40 containers carried transported by 20 trucks and then by 3 cargo planes?

Surely you would increase the salary of the current employees if you're hiring new people with higher salaries.

Also, it sounds like the entire premise is "people don't want to work because they're not being paid enough" which is enough of a good reason by itself.

MarleTangible··on Copy Fail
Seems like distros consider it a medium risk because it doesn't involve remote code execution and requires local access. Though it allows local root privilege escalation which is considered high priority.

https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#priority

> Medium: A significant problem, typically exploitable for many users. Includes network daemon denial of service, cross-site scripting, and gaining user privileges.

A vendor I never interacted with emailing me usually has no respect of me.
MarleTangible··on AMD AI director says Claude Code is becoming dumber and lazier since update
There's definitely a trend of ignoring prompts and cutting thinking short.
MarleTangible··on They’re vibe-coding spam now
The new trend is that the legitimate corporations sending you spam regardless of your communication settings, or even after unsubscribing for the 10th time.

Yes, I'm looking at you Teal HQ, you're spamming us even 3 months after deleting our accounts.
