IMO it's shoddy. Anybody can get hacked, that's true. But a modern corp that has tried to defend itself should have multiple layers of defenses against complete pwnage.

If you've paid attention in the last 10 (or even 5) years as a company, and did some pentests and redteams, you've seen how you could be breached, and you took appropriate steps years ago.

A non-shoddy company will have:

- hardened their user endpoints with some sort of modern EDR/detection suite.

- Removed credentials from the network shares (really).

- Made sure random employees are not highly privileged.

- Made sure admin privileges are scoped to admin business roles (DBA admin is not admin on webservers, and vice-versa).

- Made sure everyone is using MFA for truly critical actions and resource access.

- Patched their servers.

- Done some pentests.

This won't stop the random tier 2 breach on some workstation or forgotten server still hooked up on prod/testing, but it will stop the compromise _after_ that first step. So sure, hackers will still shitpost some slack channel dumps, but they won't ransomware your whole workstation fleet...

32% of all Republicans also support universal healthcare as well. That alongside your examples just shows that there are not the most rational bunch in general and suffer form severe cognitive dissonance.

> In other words a pretty much typical liberal of 20 years ago, but one who no longer really fits in the modern Democrat demographic.

Sure. But its hardly conceivable that such a person would fir in the MAGA party either.

Of course even someone like Mussolini was a socialist activist for years so people's views do change...

I do appreciate the scrappiness of your solution. Used drives for a storage cluster is like /r/homelab on steroids. And since it's pretraining data, I suppose data integrity isn't critical.

Most venture-backed startups would have just paid the AWS or Cloudflare tax. I certainly hope your VCs appreciate how efficient you are being with their capital :)

What are you trying to imply with the “hmm”?

I personally found out about my aphantasia when reading an article in Scientific American titled “When the Mind’s Eye is Blind”. A whole lifetime of experiences clicked into place.

So it’s not surprising that there would be an outpouring of new discoveries after more people learn of the concept.

Learning about aphantasia is how I learned people experience anything other than nothing visually in their mind’s eye.

Feels a bit like the no-code paradox though. When you make a sufficiently advanced no-code (or no-database) tool it becomes equivalent to code (or a database) and even though it does entice a novice to start using it, a complex system made in it is still complex code (or a complex database) and ends up requiring a competent programmer (or db admin) to maintain it, who wishes it was written the normal way to begin with.

The audio stuff, the concentration stuff, the always coming late and so aren't difficult to categorize in terms of "normal" and "not normal", when they're basically constant and have been since a very young age. It's simply being in the long tail of the frequency distribution or not, wherever you set that line.

> There is no normal experience, only the kinds of experiences that people have. Some people have buckets of experience that are worse or more challenging than others, everyone has shared experiences that cross-sect.

A lot of people are in the short head of the distributions when it comes to nearly all of these markers. Some people are in the long tails for a large number of them. Those are the ones we label. Being in the short head doesn't mean one is never awkward or never late or annoyed by certain noises, it means that they're so at a frequency that's common.

Honestly combed it over and it didn’t tell us anything other than high mem utilization/pressure. I’m not sure what the deal is but I’ve found AM on Mac’s almost…deceptive? It feels like I’m not getting the full story sometimes. We use one at my office for live streams and the math on resources often does not check out. Our head of engineering agrees that his experience with the silicon chips has been that they do not like to let go of tasks/processes and can be a little opaque about what it is doing in the background.

I know it sounds a lot like vibes, because it kind of is, but it’s just what we’ve seen.

I think this clip of Man of Steel did a very good job of showing how Autistic people get bombarded with sensory information. There are comments under the video claiming that this mirrors their experience.

Man of Steel - The World's Too Big, Mom

https://youtu.be/VcdFURryKjA

Zack Snyder described perfectly the ADHD/ Autistic experience growing up in one single scene. Intentionally or not. This movie made me feel less alone in this world. Superman helped me realize that wasn't a freak. I just perceived the world differently. Thank you Zack. I will forever be grateful for Man of Steel for many years to come

I was part of a team helping a Fortune 500 company whose inventory system was basically a master spreadsheet that maybe 8 people in the company actually had write access to. Everyone reported numbers up to them and the spreadsheet had read only views for purchase order projections.

To say that it was a nightmare was an understatement. They were willing to dump vast sums of money to get something better, but they'd homebrewed so many human processes to deal with the spreadsheet that they struggled to adapt to a more conventional way of doing things.

> I entered the workforce about 9 months ago

Right or wrong, it takes a certain amount of chutzpah to put forth such a definite opinion after less than a year in the workforce.

What OP probably misses is the "there ain't nothing so permanent as a temporary solution" thing. I too embrace quick and dirty solutions but only if I have total control over the lifetime of that solution. If someone's going to ask me to deliver it immediately and then build a castle on top of it... I might insist on using a tool that has more up front cost.
by dmix | 2025-10-01 16:46:14+00:00
Sounds like a different use case than Cursor. Editing that many files/lines probably scales better with a CLI tool. Cursor makes more sense for day-to-day maintenance and heavy hand-holding feature development coding.

If I was building a new project from scratch I'd probably use a CLI tool to manage a longer TODO easier. But working on existing legacy code I find an IDE integration is more flexible.

> do you think managing IAM and Terraform is free?

No, but I would argue that a SaaS offering, where the whole maintenance of the storage system is maintained for you actually requires less maintenance hours than hosting 30 PB in a colo.

In terraform you define the S3 bucket and run terraform apply. Afterwards the company's credit card is the limit. Setting up and operating 30 PB yourself is an entirely different story.

A bunch of medications are commonly used to help manage it, though. And it's so often co-morbid with other diagnoses (these are all just classifications we made up anyway, so that they're two "different" things is basically just semantics, it's all happening in one brain, like we could easily and no-less-reasonably halve or double the number of labels we apply to these same situations and the underlying reality would be unaffected) that it's common to be diagnosed autistic but also taking ADHD meds or mood stabilizers or antidepressants or what have you, under other diagnoses.

There are fixes for this: When I was at the Boeing ASL (pre MDD merger), there were plans to have a group that regularly created a "paper airplane" every two years based on market conditions and product line gaps. If the economy could support a launch, great, you've got a head start. If the economy is down, well, at least you've got the institutional capability to design airplanes.

It wasn't a particularly huge cost, and before Harry Stonechisler took over there was money for that type of work within a profitable BCAG.

It's extra fun when you manage to get positive feedback from colleagues and hit all your concrete performance expectations, but then at review time you still get poor marks because it's a stack ranking system, so, as far as your manager is concerned, there was never a realistic option to give one of the limited supply of good scores to you instead of one of the people who have enough spoons left at the end of the work day to permit some enthusiasm for the quarterly optional-but-actually-mandatory after-hours team Whirlyball outing.

> The classic example is yelling "FIRE" in a crowded theatre in the absence of a fire.

This is from an overturned US Supreme Court opinion, has no basis in anyone's jurisprudence, yet keeps coming up as an example of speech that's permissible to suppress for some reason.

Oliver Wendell Holmes created that example to support jailing a socialist for speaking out against the World War I draft.

Further back than the 1840s?

Nixon was actually the anti-war candidate? That didn't quite workout that well but that's what he ran on...

Vietnam mostly started under Kennedy, Johnson massively escalated it and Humphrey still supported continuing it.

Then you had somebody like Eisenhower who wanted who both opposed prolonging Korea and was generally reticent about involving US in the Indochina War (not that he didn't misjudge the situation anyway)

> Once upon a time, design and code worked as one. Web designers would imagine beautiful designs and turn them into beautiful websites with HTML and CSS.

This was never the case and in fact a rewriting of history. My first "proper" job in web development was taking a PSD from a designer and turning that into a XHTML template. Quite a lot of the time the designs looked nice in Photoshop but were almost impossible to implement (at least in CSS 2).

I've worked in several since then and most were using Photoshop to create designs or design guidelines to pass over the developers. I used to "cut up the design" and then implement into XHTML template and controls. This was pretty much the norm everywhere if the company cared about how the website / webapp looked.

There were some frontend designer types that would write code, but I've met actually two of them during my career as a dev that was heavily front-end focused until 2023.

I prefer it as a standalone app. I don’t use VSCode nor would I want integration with my text editor. Snippet managers generally have ways of being invoked from anywhere, or you can type a few characters and have them replace the text, or you can search them from launchers like Alfred.

It can be. But there can be speech where most reasonable people would agree that it should be regulated. E.g. if some dude walks up to your 5 year old child and starts to tell them in intricate detail about his violent sexual fantasy, pretty much everybody notices that the kids right not to have to hear this outweighs the adults edgy itch to do this to a child.

And a lot of speech is like this, nearly no speech is consequence free. I am not saying we should ban any speech that has negative consequences. What I am saying is that with other rights we also have to way the active freedoms of one person ("the freedom to do a thing") against the passive freedoms of all the others ("the freedom to not have a thing done to you").

With other rights it is the same, you may have a right to carry a firearm and even shoot it. But if you shoot it for example in church, other peoples right not to have to deal with you shooting that gun in that church outweighs your right to do that.

In the German speaking part of the EU we decided that the right of literal Nazis to carry their insignia doesn't outweigh the right of the others to not have to see the insignia that have brought so much pain and suffering in these lands. To some degree this is symbolic, because it only bans symbols and not ideologies, but hey, I like my government to protect my state from a fascist takeover, because they are kind of hard to reverse without violence.

For sure, but these are the level of organizations that have PR firms on hand to put in a lot of work to suppress news, to frame things in as bland a manner as possible, to use all the available tools to ensure that even if things get reported, they're noticed as little as possible. Authorities often work with them to suppress and gag reporting of specific institutions that get hit, for a variety of reasons, but obviously including corruption - it's easy to convince politicians that they don't want pension funds or mortgage lenders or whatever to take a hit from negative publicity.

Over the last 5 years, dozens of huge financial firms - banks, hedge funds, credit unions, mortgage lenders, etc - have been hit, and about 15-20% pay the ransoms.

Even if public notice is mandated, there are probably cases where it's an obscure notification on some official government website, or a 3-4 page deep "announcement" on a company page phrased to look innocuous and routine. "We experienced a cybersecurity incident which was resolved" or what have you.

It's fairly trivial for them - routine - to cover things up, right out in the open, and with the speed of the news cycle, it's only gotten easier.

We should probably mandate disclosure by big corporations, institutions, and banks through a glaringly obvious, top half of the front page of their website, blunt declaration for 30 days, with a government page listing incidents and responses for 5 years. "XXX Corp was hit by ransomware and paid $123 in bitcoin to the APT Group AwfulAsshats"

Mandating by law that ransom not be paid puts the onus of maintaining proper disaster and ransomware recovery on the insitutions - if you're handling a huge scale of resources, you're on the hook for responsibly managing your employees security and livelihoods, your users and customers assets and data, and not incentivizing ransomware as a viable avenue of attack. If you can't handle the responsibility of securing against ransomware, you've no business handling people's data and money, frankly.

This would wipe out a whole slew of nonsense businesses, I think.

> You're assuming people sample unifromly and at random from the population.

I'm not assuming anything. I literally explained that the only way it's possible is for someone to avoid the general population and only socialize in environments with extreme bias.

The more important point is that diagnosing autism is not something you can do by simply meeting people in social situations. It's something that takes training and experience by professionals, not an untrained person who sizes people up as they meet them in a social capacity.

> Are these hacks unavoidable, or are they indicative of shoddy IT on the victim's side?

That's a really good question and one that I've asked (myself) many times. What I can't understand is that on one side you have an IT division that (probably) has a substantial budget, security hardware and software layers, security strategies and probably hundreds of personnel. On the other side you have a group of hackers/crackers who have none of the above, but often succeed. How does that work? Srsly!

Telegram founder Pavel Durov on Sunday accused France of asking him to remove some Moldovan channels from the social media platform ahead of the country’s presidential election last year.

In a statement on the Dubai-headquartered company, Durov claimed that the French intelligence services asked him “through an intermediary” to help the Moldovan government to censor “certain Telegram channels” before the vote on Oct. 20, in which incumbent President Maia Sandu secured a second term in office following a runoff held on Nov. 3.

He said a few channels were identified to have violated Telegram’s rules following reviews of the channels concerned and were subsequently removed.

“The intermediary then informed me that, in exchange for this cooperation, French intelligence would ‘say good things’ about me to the judge who had ordered my arrest in August last year,” Durov said, describing this as “unacceptable on several levels.”

“If the agency did in fact approach the judge — it constituted an attempt to interfere in the judicial process. If it did not, and merely claimed to have done so, then it was exploiting my legal situation in France to influence political developments in Eastern Europe — a pattern we have also observed in Romania,” he further said.

Durov also said that Telegram later received a second list of "Moldovan channels," which he noted were “legitimate and fully compliant with our rules,” unlike the initial list.
