Autism Disorder with High Distractability?

Management replaces developers with AI: this is good, AI is magic and developers are monkeys.

AI replaces management: this is bad, management is magic and AI is monkeys.

"It appears you've misunderstood. We meant less work _per person for the number of people we have right now_."

If employers don't t want to pay to keep employees healthy they shouldn't tie employees to employer-provided healthcare like indentured servants.

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”

Aristotle never said this. It's Will Durant.

This invalidates the post for me, it takes it from academic research to fanboy posting.

IDK, this seems like the next step towards uploading yourself to the cloud.

Oh that was very much sarcasm. I have no idea why I'd pay for five hours of recorded videos from two guys from Samsung when I can get top-tier academic and industry content for free. I'm happy to pay for good education but nothing about this training has $240 of value to me.

Yes but you get a digital badge with it, so that's nice.

Makes me a little nervous that a web page about resilience is failing to connect.

This reminds me of Ted Chiang's point that fear of technology is really fear of capitalism. https://kottke.org/21/04/ted-chiang-fears-of-technology-are-...

"Most of the things that we worry about under the mode of capitalism that the U.S practices, that is going to put people out of work, that is going to make people’s lives harder, because corporations will see it as a way to increase their profits and reduce their costs."

Are you arguing that trying to write more clearly is a 'special use case'?

I have a coworker whose first language isn't English. She uses AI to polish up her writing, particularly long documents. She puts a ton of effort into making sure that it still reads well. Because of this effort her writing is strong and precise. Before AI she made all the obvious mistakes you'd expect from someone who's not a native English speaker. It's very hard to tell that she used AI because she puts so much effort into post-AI copy editing, it's just clear and useful writing. Sure, the occasional non-idiomatic phrase creeps in but those are hard to find.

That's AI writing done right, and it's very different from this other guy I work with who does the whole slop grenade thing.

So is New Relic, which also featured the same CEO and CTO. I'm sure that's just a coincidence.

This is the scariest part.

Calling these Magna not Manga is a miss.

> this means a court order can't block a single cloudflare site without blocking every cloudflare site

Not true. Cloudflare can't block only a single web site _by IP address_ but that's pretty common with IPv4, The same is true of Fastly and AWS and I'd be shocked if there's a mass-market CDN out there that has a unique IPv4 address per customer.

They can absolutely block any site they want at the application layer (SNI or Host header or whatever they use, IDK, I'm a network guy).

No, what I meant was "haven't we been basically ignoring science on nutrition since the 80s?" I think we have.

For those who don't believe me - go find some old family photos of your parents or grandparents, whichever generation would have been young adults in the 1960s or 1970s. Compare them to people of the same age born any time after, say, 1990. Nothing come of one sample, but people from the previous generation just weren't fat in their 20s like we are.

Yes, there's more to it than that. But food is a big part of it.

The man is stark raving bonkers mad in that head-in-the-sand, if-I-ignore-science-then-it-can't-hurt-me way but (and OMG I think I'm going to throw up a little in my mouth even coming close to agreeing with anything that come out of his mouth) isn't that basically what we've been doing with dietary guidelines since the 80s?

Like, don't get me wrong, RFK will kill N*10^5, N*10^6 people with his outlook on diseases, but....how many people have had their lives wrecked by "fat makes you fat", "ketchup is a vegetable", and "eat a balanced diet composed entirely of sausage, flour, and sugar"? As a GenXer I've been dealing with the echoes of this for a long time.

Me too, but

I have not applied to this program but I've gone through a part-time MBA. I doubt that an online program for working professionals is as rigorous about references as, say, undergrad admission to an Ivy League program or Oxford or Hogwarts or something. Just get a couple of coworkers with a similar advanced degree to write something that says "this person exists and I think they can handle the load" and you'll be fine. Remember that college is a business; if you look like you can both handle the program and pay for it, they'll let you in.

I once worked for a guy who'd obviously seen the term Servant Leadership on a bumper sticker somewhere and figured that meant he was the leader and we were the servants. Worst boss I ever had, and I've been doing this 30+ years and have had a bunch of bad bosses.

Why not just 'competent leadership', where 'competent' means 'figure out what your people need you to do and do it'?

/r/whoosh

I think there was a single web page that summarized all of that. IIRC it was extremely well written and gave me warm happy fuzzy schadenfreude vibes.

This reminds me of the Blue Jeans Cable / Monster Cable shakedown nonsense.

I wish I could find the original writeup from Blue Jeans, it was frickin' magnificent.

PTP is more precise so it's much harder to synchronize over long distances. Even in data centers it benefits from hop-by-hop participation from the routers involved.

Typo - shouldn't that be AS64511?

Each update _per prefix, per peer_. RFC4271 sec.9.2.1.1 says

--- [MRAI] determines the minimum amount of time that must elapse between an advertisement and/or withdrawal of routes to a particular destination by a BGP speaker to a peer ---

> It's bog standard for employees...in the UK and for multinationals including American companies

^^^ that's the thing. Contracts are by country, not by company ownership.

I worked for an F100 multinational US-based company for many years. My coworkers in the EU (including the UK at the time) got contracts. A buddy who was a bona fide rock star in the US got one. I know VPs got them.

I got nothing, as did the vast, vast majority of my US-based friends. And while I'm not a rock star, I'm pretty well known within my niche and am not a bottom-feeder. It really is as bleak as you might fear.
