Honestly that would make a good sci fi short story. What appears to be a well of knowledge created by an advanced but missing species that turns out to be nothing but well ordered gibberish. Maybe it spreads to other civilizations that find

It’s incredible to me that so many seem to have fallen for “humans are just LLMs bruh” argument but I think I’m beginning to understand the root of the issue. People who only “deeply” study technology only have that frame of reference to vi

No. It’s not. ECD includes the mechanisms by which children naturally explore the world and grow. I’m going to give you a spoiler and tell you that children are wired to explore and attempt to reason from birth. So to fix your analogy, you

That’s…completely incorrect. I’m not going to hash out childhood development here because I’m not paid to post but if anyone read the above and was even slightly convinced I implore you to go read up on even the basics of early childhood de

I got you. So think of 4 Chan but fish. Like the entire screen. 50 of the fish are just regular fish with slurs written in them. There’s like 10 swastika fish moseying around. And then you have the odd fish with like an Isreali flag with…le

“Be specific.” Am I the only one that feels like it’s really condescending when people say this on the internet? It sounds like something you would see on a community college writing assignment

I was one of the “lucky” few to witness the school of slur-fish. Being in security I laughed because of how egregious it was but also because I knew someone on HN with some actual time on their hands to help properly would be along soon. I

Gotta be honest, after using their products extensively compared to other offerings I don’t know if stitching together cloud companies “worked”.

People are focused on the skills these people must possess or the experience. Chances are good that while they’re competitive for sure, what they really have that landed them these positions is connections and the ability to market themselv

While I don’t doubt that these people have great experience and skills what they really have that others don’t is connections and the ability to market themselves well.

I’m glad you lost the weight either way :) Just want to throw this out there for you and everyone’s benefit. Regular physical activity helps you age gracefully and has a lot of physical and emotional benefits besides weight loss.

I understand and agree with your wider point but again your other point needs to be addressed. “Well it’s just their words” is exactly the right reaction to have. There is no other evidence presented whatsoever. It is quite literally just t

It’s one of those idiosyncrasies we’ve fallen into on the way to equality. People haven’t trained themselves to do some simple thought exercises such as “what if I reversed the genders/ethnicities/whatever in this claim.” It’ll ge

I agree with your second point but your first point undoes it. You’re an observer on the internet who knows none of these people and came to a conclusion based on just their words alone. Which is exactly what causes these things to happen.

by ofjcihen 1y ago
I can’t say I came to the same conclusions as you after reading that. Also, for being an “unreliable” narrator he sure seems charitable to the people who ruined his life, no? I would expect someone with an axe to grind wouldn’t ask that the

A Statement I am a Scala developer and speaker who was cancelled three years ago. Yesterday I attended the High Court in London to hear an apology from several prominent members of the Scala community for making untrue claims about me on 27

If you’re reading this and wondering what the outcome was I implore you to go read the authors Twitter about it. There was in fact a judgement.

They actually can, and have. In fact, that’s a fundamental facet of a libel claim.

Writing a letter for malicious reasons that had a very predictable outcome for an apparently innocent man* You can downplay any action by breaking it down to its foundations and stating it that way.

What ended up being the reason for the false allegations if I can ask? Like, why did they really get together and do this to this poor guy? Edit: From the downvotes I’m guessing this isn’t actually resolved? This is the first I’m hearing ab

Absolutely and when throw in the ridiculous way SF does permissions AND their lack of tools for access visibility it’s no wonder these old systems stick around.

Another article mentioned Salesforce which has a knack for being poorly secured on the data owners side. I’ve got another reply here with details but suffice it to say misconfigured Salesforce tenants are all over the internet.
443.
by ofjcihen 1y ago
That’s partially due to SF devs not knowing enough about the product but also due to Salesforce treating security as an afterthought. For a poorly configured implementation it takes 2 web requests as an unauthenticated user to know all of t

That’s not a great analogy but it is one that courts have been using until recently when they admitted that it wasn’t a great analogy. A better analogy would be using a box in a bush in a public park to store your customers information.

I promise that’s not the case but we can let it go for now.

Very true and to be fair Simon’s response with his perspective is valid and understandable.
448.
by ofjcihen 1y ago
That’s totally fair and I get it. Working in security I often feel the same way and let’s be fair in the grand scheme of things it’s not that big of a deal.

by ofjcihen 1y ago
So I understand how people can get emotional about this topic but really quick let’s calm down and reevaluate what I said. My comment was in response to Simon’s reply to a user who posted an article. The title of the article they posted add

To be fair that thirst probably comes from people who aren’t seeing the gains the hype would lead you to believe and are reaching into the void to not feel like they’re taking crazy pills. It’s also probably not coming from a place of “I’m
