It's hard for people to say "we don't know". And you don't get a lot of clicks on that either.

We don't understand how the human brain works so it's not inconceivable that we can evolve an intelligent machine whose workings we don't understand either. Arguably we don't really understand how large language models w

You just gotta pick mistakes that are plausible. The point is whatever you do the "bad boss" will find something. The very competent can do this without the boss realizing ;) Or it's just a tall tale.

The rule there is that it doesn't matter how many style guides you have or tools to auto-style your thing or whatnot people will still find something to nitpick and argue about. If the Convention Manual says all sheds shall be green

Reminds me of a story a friend related a long time ago about how to manage bosses. That probably applies to bike sheds. The general idea is to introduce a glaring mistake into any proposal you make. Then the boss (or whoever feels like bike

This is why golden handcuffs are terrible yet organizations keep wanting to have them. Why can't CEOs understand that having lots of people around who are staying mostly because of some RSUs but wouldn't otherwise want to be there

I work in an org where you can talk directly to any leader. That doesn't actually help with the outcome. The org and culture are stronger than any leader. If the org has evolved with gate keepers the leader is generally never going to

There is no way a US company would enter this sort of deal with Israel where they promise to circumvent a gag order. The money isn't worth going to jail for and the execs signing the deal would go to jail and they have little to benefi

When those experts are not named one could wonder if they even exist. Why would a journalist not reveal the name of an expert who is consulting on a matter of law?

Right. Having worked on a commercial S3 compatible storage I can tell y'all that there's a lot more to it then just sticking some files on JBOD. It does depend on your specific requirements though. 1.5 FTE over 18 months sounds on

Has Hamas ratified the Rome convention? Does the State of Palestine control Gaza? So here's the actual sequence of events. Israel has occupied these territories from Egypt and Jordan in 1967. Following the peace agreement with Egypt an

I am very consistent. What's inconsistent about my argument? Can you give me three other examples of states where their existence is similar to the existence of "Palestine"? How is Palestine not a snowflake here? And if it is

Who are the past presidents/prime ministers of the Palestine that existed before Israel? What was the capital of that state? What was the currency? What were the laws and/or constitution? Who was the chief of police? Minister of d

Palestine has not existed prior to Israel. The area was Ottoman and then we had the Mandate of Palestine (British control). There was never a state called Palestine in that region - ever. That is the factual reality. You seem to be stuck on

In my view the abstraction layer should be in the domain of the application. Let's say your software is HR software and you can add and remove employees. The abstraction is "Add an employee with these details". The data model

I've occasionally stored JSON directly in a database. It really depends on what you do with this data. If you do need to query and manipulate the internals of that JSON object then you should extract that data into a proper schema. But

But those endpoints are abstractions. Don't we want control over the surface of the API and our abstractions? If you let the client tell the server what the abstractions are in run-time you've just lost control over that interface

I switched from an M1 to a new M4 (this is my work laptop and it had a problem) and the old M1 has a much better battery life than the new M4. Quite noticeable. The M1 was such an awesome machine. The M4 is faster, but the M1 was plenty fas
