  1. If a good leader is somebody who consistently sets a good example, and is willing to sacrifice personally for their team, I don't think there are very many out there. The problem is that companies still need "leaders" the same way TV stations need programming.

    If an company decides to invest some money in the pursuit of an opportunity, some managers might get hired or promoted, and the company isn't going to scour the earth for genuinely good leaders. They'll post a job, take a few interviews then promote the person who was going to get it anyway, or hire somebody who looks the part. Generally, one shouldn't take middle-managers seriously.

  2. given how often these llms are wrong, doesnt it make sense that they are less confident?
  3. > SSH3 is a complete revisit of the SSH protocol

    so, new undiscovered vulnerabilities

  4. > how to be a leader: total and complete capitulation while you wait for it to blow over

    yep. that's leadership.

  5. I don't know if it's fair to call this a dead-internet thing. Most comments on social media are nothing or misdirection. You might say "well that's easy if you're paying for fake activity from bots" but I've seen plenty of real people have transactional, nothing-exchanges in real life. I mean, the internet isn't the only place where people are fake/lazy.
  6. The author assumes that he's talking to legitimate vote-riggers, and not just people who will screenshot successful posts, say it was their doing, pocket his money and block him.
  7. AGI answer: "Individual people must change their habits"
  8. I feel like there was a lot of nonsense ideas for what is such a short, and supposedly journalistically rigorous article
  9. Looking at your post comment history, you've posted the same roles since June, and had a 60 person team for 3 months. Why are you posting if you're not hiring?
  10. It looks like you copy/pasted this from the post you made in last month's thread. You're still hiring for the same positions? Are you actually hiring? Why haven't you filled any of these roles? Why are you posting if you're not actually hiring?
  11. > Obvious and dead horse beaten issue. I’m working on solving this and will report here when I’ve got a prototype. Surprising insights arise from pondering the philosophy of show and tell-specifically how listening is involved in order to “earn” your turn to speak.

    Do you ever look at what you've written and ask yourself: "Would somebody else understand this"? Could you say it again, but using enough words this time?

  12. > The guy paid his debt to society, let him try to do something positive with his life now.

    Yes, the guy who committed some of the most flagrant financial crimes in history as the CEO of an energy exchange deserves a second chance at running an energy exchange the moment he is released from prison.

  13. If I search these comments for the word "union", there are no relevant results. Why don't we unionize tech workers?
  14. Aside from the fact that wales' software is supposed to be free and open source and thus will not require its users to trust the founder as much as they are forced to with fb, how is Wales not more trustworthy than Zuck? One guy has a string of abuses and apologies spanning almost two decades as the founder, CEO and majority shareholder of a company that helped the Russian gov't steal the 2016 election and helped bring back eradicated diseases, and the other created a non-profit encyclopedia and gave away the source code?
  15. Lots of interesting events in my area!

    I made a similar app that shows you nearby events from your facebook "likes". I'd be interested to see what you guys think of it https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/eventual/id1016305409?mt=8

  16. I think sometimes strict deadlines are sometimes about coordinated efforts, as in the case of a Superbowl ad. If you're the company responsible for producing the ad, then submitting it a week after the game is unacceptable. I feel like where software is concerned, it's most often like you've said.
  17. Good advice. Thanks :)
