That is not today’s problem. The Brian Mulroney conservatives don’t have a home in the party of extemeists that is lead by pp, or Erin O’Toole, or Andrew Scheer. Now the Liberals are right of center and lean strongly into neo-lib ideology. Justin Trudeau was a neo-lib hiding under the veneer of decent social policy. Jagmeet Singh was also a neo-lib. Our progressive politicians suck right now.
Trial-by-neckbeard is a good one.
Sometimes you don’t even recognize your own trash, 6 weeks later.
South Korea is a worse Oligopoly than the US. The big corporations are the government.
That depends on the content of your letter. I wrote a new one about Signal and NordVPN withdrawing from Canada. Mine is a lawyer, I can wait for their response about practicing law without E2EE.
There was the same problem in Space. Russia and China have anti-sat weapons in-orbit pointing at targets already.
This is just a rebranded data center in orbit. Same goal, be completely outside of the law, this time in international waters.
Send letters to your MPs. Call them out for the corrupt peices of shit they are. They are receiving a quid pro quo to implement a surveillance state.
I am in charge of policy related to Ai at work, but under different circumstances than most. The people above me asked the question, can we use Ai in a way that adds value to the product? My response was let’s test out a couple of options and make policy based on the results. We gave everyone access to Copilot as we use JetBrains products and I asked every individual what their results were after a month. Four people found that they were able to work faster, the rest said it slowed them down and the hallucinations outright fucked their shit up.
At first I couldn’t get a grasp on how this sanely work for a whole company implemented in a one size fits all manner. Then 2 of the people who used LLMs that were Jr.s left the company. When they had to transfer ownership of the internal projects to other people. I realized the mess inexperience devs with LLMs could do. They left behind untouchable code. That’s when I figured it out, the other two people were Sr.s and you need to know exactly what you are doing to get a net positive from LLM coding.
All three of us were doing slight variations of the same thing, which was very telling of what is going to happen to software over the next year. We would never touch an agent as they just inject flaws and bugs into the code base. We all found Tab complete to be useful enough to leave on, but noted it was worse that worthless quite frequently. What we were all doing was using it as a cracked out search engine through the chat features. Rarely would we accept offered changes directly, but we would manually type sections adapting them to fit better in the code, the way we all used stackoverflow 5 years ago.
I am not saying inexperienced dev can’t use LLMs effectively. You just have to know exactly what you are doing. Now the others come to me talking about MCP servers, agentic coding, whatever new snake oil is being sold to us. Now I am trying to convince these people, who initially rejected LLMs, that they are being gaslit by salesmen into thinking that LLMs are useful.
An Arginine playing in Spain and France, is supposed to find English useful?
What is the take away from that article supposed to be? Less wheat, more soybeans?
I have learned recently that historically the time gap between missing 9 meals and cannibalism is way fucking closer than we think. Just pray that people don’t go hungry, everything falls apart very fast.
Using encryption on files systems is fine, but the Microslop Bitlocker implementation is awful. In any ecosystem that is not fully regulated BitLocker is a liability. I have had colleagues that could beat it.
The Csuites that will lose their jobs from this will actually get bonuses when they are fired. We will see some of them get fired for this reason. But If the whole thing truly imploded none of them will get fired though because it will be too costly to pull the chord on their golden parachutes.
When I worked at an MSP, BitLocker cost companies thousands of dollars when it did something strange. User error has very catastrophic consequences with BitLocker and nobody that actually cares about security uses BitLocker. From my professional experience it is malware. The places where I have seen it used on purpose was because of policy bullshit and everyone agreed that it was a hindrance rather than an advantage.
If you fully inform them on the situation, they will be cool with it. We are all in this shit together, well until everything falls apart. Add a [<linenumber>] to the prefix on each statement, who the fuck cares. It was the LLM that did it, not you and you were forced to use it.
BitLocker is basically malware, so who fucking cares. Far more people have it accidentally on and get locked out than people that have purposefully activated it.
That person will have books, they will be overdue.
No fucking way, a non-determainistic system behaved in a non-determainistic way.
What is a reasonable period of time to give them to respond to an email? They could be absolutely inundated with complaints, and it would be unreasonable to expect them to move particularly fast.
