This is a moral dilemma when you've basically read everything in your favorite genre.

> because once upon a time someone took it too far and something happened.

It's easier to accept red tape once you follow "something happened" down to the idiots who "took it too far". Progress is blocked along the axes your fuckups have access to, end of story.

If you don't like red tape quit playing grab-ass around heavy machinery.

I’m disappointed that the EFF chooses to frame children and social media as a “censorship” issue, especially given the age ranges being discussed.

Just like you say. It's not a secret business plan, it just doesn't really feel useful to talk about.

Your approach but I picture thin slices of descending context and try to give models buttons to push[0] instead of a blank check.

It feels like everyone's rebuilding their own desktop experience. Kind of Minecraft with folders and text files.

The really interesting part of this is how little people talk about what they're doing, and it doesn't feel secretive in any way.

My naive take on a Cloudflare perspective wants to combine "three times is enemy action" with toddler-speed block dropping and manual clearance. What's the money reason this problem isn't handled at the ISP level?

I’ll still catch myself thinking this way even though The Great Disillusionment was like twenty years ago.

Do you think personal responsibility travels uphill or downhill?

Each of the letters in CEO stand for a word with specific meaning, and when you put them together they tell you where the buck stops. It’s not a job for people who can’t take responsibility for their fuckups.

This says more about the electorate than the candidates. You can’t have a segment of your population that refuses to connect ideas and expect a working society to come out the other end.

Can’t imagine a client allowing me to pass the buck like this.

A normal person would say “my workflow has stages” and their normal coworkers would say “no kidding”.

You learned about none of this in high school? That sucks. No child left behind kid I’m assuming.

From my perspective this just looks like voter suppression. Your hypothetical edge cases operate at a scale that doesn't matter in the slightest, a fundamental rookie security mistake.

> admin/admin is not great security hygiene but you’ve reduced most of the risk by airgapping.

admin/admin is on a post-it stuck to the monitor because everyone we hire is perfectly capable of rooting a machine they have physical access to.

The companies who think AI means they get to reduce headcount will be eaten.

I mean if you're arguing an edge case you've already accepted the central point, so it's not like a response needs to be made. We handle edge cases.

The cost of conflict versus collaboration or even competition means everyone loses in the big picture. The waste of resources is immense.

The people presenting these different concerns are all individuals with their own agendas. You're the person lumping them all into one confusing mass so you don't have to deal with each viewpoint.

When people are assholes across multiple domains they get pushback from each of them. This isn't emergent behavior, it's emergent consequences.

Vernor Vinge's Peace War and especially Marooned in Realtime both touch on this point of view.

Welcome to capitalism.

This conversation feels like it really captures Mangione's point of view. It's like I'm listening to an internal dialogue.

I mean it’s also the DUI capitol of the entire planet, so maybe all those deaths over the years removed some aggro from the gene pool.

"STEM major actively dismissive of other disciplines" has been a candidate category and major red flag everywhere I've worked. Especially the places full of STEM majors.

If you've only worked at a small-to-medium privately held company you'd assume every company ran that smoothly. "Too big to fail" makes sense once you've worked for a behemoth and not before.

The first step is nailing down the numbers that everyone understands and agrees with.

I start with the stated wage on a job description and attempt to calculate the value of any additional benefits to arrive at the hourly rate a potential employer thinks my time is worth. Vehicle cost is similarly straightforward since wear and mileage calculators are standardized and you're already budgeting for parking if you need to.

However. Once you collect a handful of data points the rest of the process is entirely personal. For example, a one-hour commute each way sounds terrible unless that's the only time in the day you have to yourself, but if the traffic is never smooth or you need to switch trains three times it might be a wash.

The key point is to determine if a specific activity is solely work-related and if I get anything else out of it, and then apply the dollar value this potential employer sets on my time as above.

Now take a look at your food situation. Do you and your partner meal prep every Sunday without fail? Do you start your day at the Starbucks drive thru? Now take a look at your responsibilities. Do you have children? Do you have pets? Now take a look at your wardrobe. The list goes on and it's all situational.

The interesting part of the project was seeing how much home location + commute options + work location affect net pay by just dragging a few markers around a map of the city. I was adding average residential rent by location last time I touched this and felt like the project was turning into a map of the de facto minimum wage in my area.

To answer your question this was $20k net to me, mainly from maintaining a vehicle, eating out of the house, and keeping up my in-office appearance.

My "first-order costs only" spreadsheet put RTO at like twenty grand a year. I had no idea.

I started playing around with the idea of how much it costs to have a job based on location and it was interesting to see how different variables changed the final wage and how that played out against a map of the city.

Get a few responsibilities in the outside world, or someone who'll make demands of you. Get a dog.

Half of group therapy is just being in a group. Groups that require you to be rested and fit and provide a local social network orthogonal to everything else in your life include intramural sports, hiking clubs, radio repeating, crafts and markets... and they're all comfortable with nervous individuals showing up.

It's the grounded portion of a feedback loop searching for the 'why is this happening' thinking. I'd imagine most of my own comments in this area boil down to "GIGO" most of the time.

It's a relevant comment in this instance because we're discussing concepts you need to be both trained and practiced in to reason about, and that our discipline has traditionally been blind to. Plenty of people working with LLM context issues who've never been exposed to the idea of 'subtext' or could tell you why it would matter to their direction of effort.

He's not rejecting the claim, he's rejecting the terminology and probably the concepts. It's not a point of view I understand.
