In the movies, AI infiltrates through sneaky back doors and stuff. So unrealistic. The reality is that we just give it root access willingly.

I’ve been a pro software engineer for 30 years.

Colleges are doing a horrible job at relevant skill sets for sure. But also, much of the time what I’m seeking is passion for the field. In today’s world, kids with passion learn everything themselves in their teens and go directly to the workforce because they’d learn nothing at college. College became a place to go if you can’t figure it out yourself, which also means you lack the passion, hence you’re really not a great hire for a small company.

I currently never hire college grads anymore unless they’re older.

Things are different at enterprises. They need so many people that the passion requirement is dropped and you end up with tech leads who are passionate leading armies of worker bees who need constant oversight. This also works but has its own inefficiencies far outside the scope of this comment lol.

That’s how I see the state of the industry. People need to follow passion, not money. Unfortunately the incentives are misaligned by society in general. Not sure how to fix the value problem. For instance, teachers and childcare should be far more expensive and as such pay more. It’s a super heavy regulated sector tho, which is part of the problem.

But I digress. College for a general software engineering job is a complete waste.

Ignore him. He’s just mad and tired because his new bed burned him all last night.

It’s gotta be more than just an outage that did this. Like seriously, your internet goes out and your bed breaks? Why didn’t we hear anything about this before? Certainly these people have had home internet go out?!

I’m just imagining it’s a bug of sorts where the bed can access some things but not some other resource specifically not needs so it got caught in an unexpected condition.

Try the link of the post you’re responding to.

Are you able to cite some more specific examples so I can more fully understand what you mean? And what’s the catalyst for them saying “no” to our business, if that’s what you’re implying?

Oh? We don’t work together with Taiwan and China and India on manufacturing now? What changed specifically?

You mean like we do?

I feel the same way about your clickbait content behind videos. Please be mindful that this is a text based site used for discussion and enlightenment. Your ancient clickbait is annoying to me.

I’m not alone. Read the room. See the votes.

You’re not required to acknowledge or reply to my opinion. But I felt compelled to share.

Yes. I can read a summary or even a transcription in 10-20 seconds. I’m also not somewhere that I want to blast a video from my device.

Yeah. As soon as I posted this I started thinking through that and realized that I’m completely wrong. It may actually be better for anyone to have China spy on them. In fact, especially USA citizens.

That depends on where you hold a citizenship

Ah yes, no worries, we will give them $PALESTINE tokens in exchange

Cool I joined. I haven’t used mastodon because I use X, which is fine for me and uses heavy in my industry. Will try out mastodon a bit in the eves instead of Lemmy. Ping me there for a follow, I’m @[email protected]

Just know that plenty of ppl agree with you. We are just tired of constantly talking about it. If you find a good instance with free thinking, free speech loving, idea sharing people please let me know haha

Your second paragraph is spot on, but you’ll never get those people to accept the damage they caused. Bringing it up just stirs up shit. Sucks.

So are bicycles. They do a thing and they do it well.

If it’s time based data, and new cell references refer to hours that have no global data, it could be affected.

Point being, what you say isn’t necessarily correct. We don’t know the inputs the the algorithm.

Yes - the details surrounding that, and its relationship to this statement, is covered in the article.

Care to elaborate?

Onboarding new users securely is in the forefront of most minds in my industry because the current standard is a 12 word phrase written on paper, which most users throw in a cloud solution or screenshot.

The stakes are even higher in crypto where you’re protecting, without recourse, large sums of value. Passkeys are a critically needed solution for my industry. But they need coupled with a social or offline storage recovery mechanism.

I agree 100%. As mentioned, I rarely share my approach and I’ll be deleting that comment in a bit. It works well for me.

No hacker is attempting to decode the password algorithm because they don’t know of its existence on my logins, and they have thousands of better ways to go - as you said.

I’m of the mindset that locally stored keys and/or social solutions are better than throwing all passwords in a single place.

All passwords for large amounts of people in a single place is begging for a break-in.

I spend a lot of time studying solutions in this space as I’m a long time crypto solutions dev. Lots of ideas and discussions to be had.

I’m not disagreeing with you, just having a dialogue.

One doesn’t have to remember dozens. Just a basic algorithm for deriving it from the name of the site. Complex enough that it’s not obvious looking at a couple passwords but easy to remember.

This method works for me. I understand its dangers (can still correlate. Dozen passwords and figure out the algo). But it’s my current approach. I hate even discussing it since obscurity helps.

I use a different password for every site tho. Using same pw for every site, that’s another extreme entirely.

But does their advantage in security overcome the fact that they’re a much larger target?

It’s similar to how money under a pillow could be safer than money in the bank; depending on who you are.

Yeah the pedo comment was nasty. He was just spouting off because he got his feelings hurt, I can relate to that. He is human and followed up with an apology.

I have made the mistaken assumption – and I will attempt to be better at this – of thinking that because somebody is on Twitter and is attacking me that it is open season. That is my mistake. I will correct it.

I have no clue the story with spreading covid lies. So much covid info was and still is very unknown. I’ve seen unintentional lies spread from big names on both sides on that.

I’m not saying the man is a saint, but hot damn I’d personally go after any politician for being a shitty human before I went after Elon.

Yes. Scroll to the bottom of the article. The ads all look like related stories (“sponsored content” section on verge). That’s how most sites do it too, and actually most are way worse and look more like related news without any sponsored content indication.

It’s nothing new. It’s as normal as google putting sponsored ads as the first page of results, which look like search results and also can’t be blocked or reported.

Bad at what. I’m not quick to be so black and white in a gray world, and at the same time I don’t really care one way or the other. But it’s annoying to constantly hear complaints about things related to him when everyone else does the same shit.

The article linked also has ads I can’t block or report. This is just more “rocket man bad” crap.
