I think the problem is here in the doc: I have worked with a few of these downstream providers to look for a solution. There is a documented unique user identifier (the sub claim) that could theoretically prevent this issue, but in practice

I'm a line manager and tech lead at a big company. I have both direct reports and mentees that don't report to me but I'm helping with their trajectory who have that attitude ("I'm fine where I am") and it&#x27

The waymos in SF seem to indicate that they see a pedestrian (when they are waiting to turn) by showing a pedestrian symbol on their spinning lidar hat. It's pretty obvious, but I don't know how consistently it is shown.

Those two assumptions are not particularly well-supported by data or modern thought on capabilities. Even the construct of "IQ" is probably a post-hoc explanation of data rather than a predictive thing. If you want an hours-long d

Yeah, for quite some time I played a lot of WoW because it was one of the very few games I liked / had for MacOS, and what I had was a mac. That and a really old version of heroes of might and magic N. (Maybe 3?)

For me, they were drm free ebooks I bought legitimately and had to sideload via calibre because the kindle doesn't support epub. It's an old Paperwhite, and it only happens when I go out of airplane mode. However, I have to go out

I have a pretty old paperwhite. When it started deleting books i had side-loaded via calibre, I decided to get a kobo. I have a libra color, and I have to say: price notwithstanding, it's a great device. I don't have a lot of expe

I really don't understand how fiscal years work. We are in Q3 of 2024. Is the AI just predicting what their Q2 2025 results will be?

My spouse is a teacher. The science department at the school uses a relatively complicated grading mechanism called conjunctive standards based grading, which used to require a lot of spreadsheet magic to work. I wrote a gradebook app (fire

This is me. I work at a FAANG, about half of my very good compensation is in RSUs. All the startup companies I've talked to (I don't turn down recruiters out of hand) seem to like my skill set, but cannot really meet my comp requ

When people are in a room you can have multiple voice conversations at once. When you are remote, you cannot. I know you can replace voice side channels with text, but this is a lossy proposition. Turn-taking in general is better in person

Yeah, it took a few months of the 1 day sabbaths to really impact things. The first month I was back on twitter/x as soon as the sun went down, etc. Nowadays, I'm a lot more intentional about when I use social media in particular.
