The US military does not use the SSN as a username or a password. They've had smartcards, even on Linux, as far back as 20 years ago or more. Users without smartcards have to go through 2FA with a username/password combination and codes over SMS or proper TOTP (depending on agency).

The problem is that the entire Department of Defense is still very much a paper-oriented organization, and they got rid of service numbers in the 1970s, leaving the SSN as the only meaningful unique identifier. As a result it gets put on every piece of paperwork associated with a service member. Their own recordkeeping practices have the consequence that if you get almost any paperwork regarding a soldier, it has enough information to gain access to other personal information.

key passage:

We believe married people “have someone” and single people do not. But research has shown that it is single people who more often maintain their ties with friends, neighbors, siblings and parents. In contrast, couples tend to turn inward after they marry, paying less attention to their friends and parents. Married people have “the one,” but single people have “the ones.”
Have you tried anything similar to this? I am wondering if it would just be possible with GPT in Slack. I read something from OpenAI about how they built GPT for Slack, but I don't know if it captures previous chat context or not.

I think it would be cool too to be able to give access to github or google docs/notion. I think it would be a more efficient and fun way to collaborate than using Slack, especially if GPT could get edit access to documents and code.
A better question would be how long this vulnerability has been present in Confluence...

Even GitHub, which pre-Microsoft was more stingy with its money, is offering $160k for entry-level new-grad hires last time I checked.

AI and ML Sturm Und Drang
As most things in life, it is more complicated than that. While the environment plays a major role in people's moral codes, there seems to be at least some innate development happening too. I'm not a trained psychologist but I've seen scientific evidence on some of these behaviors already showing up in babies as young as a few weeks old, suggesting some of the things we consider to be culturally nurtured can actually be part of the species as a whole. Netflix has an easy-to-digest docu-series called Babies and episode S0204 talks about that, if you're interested.

The new watchOS is bad enough that I've delayed buying any new Apple Watches. Some are just bad implementations (the new stack stuff), and others are mind-boggling -- I'll keep complaining about it -- you can't swipe between watch faces anymore.

I literally had a work face, a workout face, and a Tesla watchface. I moved between them frictionless-ly, and now it's a press-hold-swipe-close movement. And yet, there's no swipe feature replacement -- you just can't swipe anymore. The gesture has no associated action.

I know some people hate the swipe, because they accidentally swiped between watch faces (it never happened to me), but if the swipe gesture is dead, why not offer it as a feature flag?

And it's like they don't want you to think your watch has multiple watch faces anymore. They macbook-keyboard-ruined watchOS for me and it's worse because they took something away that had been there this whole time -- a cardinal sin. Bah freakin' humbug.
Heh, I never realized where the initialism came from. (I had always guessed LySergic acid Diethylamide, but I never felt like that made sense.)
> They do not have magic dietary powers.

Depends on what diet you compare them to. If you could demonstrate people could live healthy lives on just potatoes compared to a normal Western diet, that seems like a significant finding. I don't think toast or bacon would give you the array of vitamins/nutritional value. What other foods would beat out potatoes? Beets maybe? I have also heard some dietitians questioning the "eat the rainbow" recommendation, and that having less food diversity is actually better. I am not suggesting limiting yourself to one food is ideal, but maybe limiting to just a few types foods is, depending on your genetics.
It also managed to hit home some issues I experienced recently. Long time ago, I was a teller/banker and I was still selling, but the recent experience of in person account opening was just bad ( no rate quote, disclosures thrown at the end for the sake of compliance, and promise of a call back for an issue I raised that I never actually got.. come to think of it ). The poor kid did not know anything about what he was selling and that was basic UTMA savings.

Anyway, what I am saying is that is well worth the read; especially the bit about constant firefighting.
If you ordered new from Ford, you'd get the maverick with your desired options at the advertised price. The problem was, it's such a great truck that the order books for the entire year have closed within DAYS of opening. It's the used ones, or the new orders declined by the customers and then sold by the dealerships, that are ridiculously priced. If you have the time, ordering from Ford is a great option to get a great value truck.
Patio11 is the best resource that I'm aware of to understand how our institutional world works. And its biases. Over and over again it is built in a way that incentivizes some behaviors, and doesn't incentivize others. One behavior that is always incentivized is that the professional and managerial classes should always have prioritized access.

This article walks through it in how banks work internally. Much more painful is https://www.bitsaboutmoney.com/archive/the-waste-stream-of-c..., which shows how rules that supposedly protect poor people from abuse, in practice only help those with access to the skills of the professional and managerial classes.

I wish there was a way to summarize his point of view and explain it to people. Part of the problem is that every system where it happens is very complicated. And the complications are exactly why you need professional and managerial class skills to get priority access.

> And using Rust ecosystem was easier just a few years ago than it is now for these use-cases

I used to write Rust web services (professionally) before async and it was definitely not easier for me. It was way harder. I'd end up with accidental hanging because some socket didn't have a timeout set on it properly, it was extremely leaky (why the hell am I talking to raw socket APIs just so that I can read from S3?), and it sucked compared to async. We've had radically different experiences, somehow.

Do you mean on this specific issue? I don't think that's surprising at all, because, a decade ago, "we should abide by treaties" was pretty much a consensus idea in the US. The "smart conservative" (I don't particularly buy that there's anyone smart left in the US Republican Party, but YMMV) may keep quiet about it now because Dear Leader has contempt for treaties as a concept, but a decade ago they'd have been publicly pretty horrified by the idea of doing this, and maybe they still are, privately.

Yes.

> Having a job offer is a signal that someone else did due diligence on you and is willing to commit capital at a year rate for your talents.

Sure, but applicants can and do lie about the existence of such offers, so ignoring such statements is not a terrible strategy. And that another company did "due diligence" is not as valuable as you might think. The investigation prior to an offer letter is often cursory, and different companies have different concerns they're looking for as well as differing levels of scrutiny.

Some companies also view an applicant leveraging other offers as a negotiation tactic as a bit of a red flag, depending on the sort of applicant they want to hire.

I'm not saying any of this is universal, nor that any of it is smart or appropriate. I'm just saying that I know there are a nontrivial number of companies that think like this.

> Sure other companies don't have to compete on the price is if what you are trying to state that, but you didn't state that clearly.

No, that wasn't what I was saying.

A minor correction: anti-matter is actually regular matter. We understand it quite well, and are even able to create anti-atoms in the lab. On the other hand, dark matter is much more poorly understood: essentially the only evidence we have for its existence are observations of "weird" gravitational effects in the universe.
And we used to be able to board an airplane without taking off our shoes! (US-centric hot take)
The interesting (for me) part about Microdot is it's tested with Micropython. AFAIK tremolo and litestar aren't.

> It's not perfect, but it does arguably do a pretty good job as long as you're writing modern C.

There's no such thing as modern C. C code that's written neatly and meticulously looks the same today as it did 30 or 40 years ago, except for language changes such as the move from K&R declarations to function prototypes. C the language hasn't changed since 1989 except for minor things like mixed functions and declarations, the introduction of the long long type, restrict pointers, designated initializers, compound literals, and threads being in the standard library.

Companies end up this way because they become large and bureaucratic. The distance between the customer's mouth and the business leaders' ears becomes too great, and filled with too much noise.

Every company, when starting out, tries to avoid going down this path (recall Google's "don't be evil" or Amazon's "it's always day 1") but they all eventually lose the spark, after becoming large enough.

Large companies who have lost this spark eventually start hiring consultants and agile coaches in a desperate gasp to regain it (much like estranged couples hiring marriage counselors). This usually goes about as well as you might expect.

I've never found a counterexample to this principle. I think the only real way to avoid it is to stay small.
Are you founding something in "AI-assisted programming"?

Because if you're not, it sounds like you're distracting yourself with shiny things instead of focusing on your industry, on your investors, on your leads and clients, on your team, etc. While common, that sounds like a terrible founder approach.

AI-assisted programming may be something that your engineers bring into your company because they find it improves their work. But like any other tool one's staff may prefer, your role as a leader doesn't involve "keeping up on the advances". At best, it involves sourcing trusted perspectives when you face a decision point (authorizing a request, perhaps), making the choice, and then moving on to other leadership tasks.

Number two is the 'is-ought' problem.

If I Buddhists offensive "You ought not" is not a compelling argument. For example I find fascists highly offensive and would continue picking on them even at the risk of peril.

I sometimes feel that Google Maps goes into what I call its "I feel like a country drive today" mode. I'm pretty sure it's usually slower because half the time I miss one of the 20 turns it's telling me to make--especially at night or if there's some multi-road intersection where the roads aren't at right angles. It's particularly annoying if there has been recent snow because the back roads tend to have snowdrifts or are otherwise just slow.

In positive law, it's literally "nothing exists outside the constitution". So, if the constitution is an unknown quantity, there is no rule of law. Now, if there is a constitution, but it is not to be known, it may be a positive system or not – either way, you can't tell…

Also, considering the case of a secret substitution: You're appealing to the supreme court, referring to the publicly known constitution, but your case is dismissed based on the notion that your appeal refers to an invalidated section, but you're not allowed to know, what the actual, valid section is.

City of New London, 545 U.S. 469 (2005),[1] was a landmark decision by the Supreme Court of the United States in which the Court held, 5–4, that the use of eminent domain to transfer land from one private owner to another private owner to further economic development does not violate the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment."

...

"The final cost to the city and state for the purchase and bulldozing of the formerly privately held property was $78 million. The promised 3,169 new jobs and $1.2 million a year in tax revenues had not materialized. As of 2021, the area remains an empty lot."

It’s a very common state to throw criticisms and theories with no solutions - it’s called “the bloodless intellect” - and since it offers no solutions and takes no actions, it is almost always the worst option. Granted sometimes a bad solution is worse than no solution, but the vast majority of times, no solution is the worst option. The only thing being a bloodless intellect protects is the ego of the person, because their identity is so tied to their intellect they dislike it when their theories are actually evaluated, because the chance that they might be wrong materialises, and that would damage their fragile ego and deeply associated self identity, so better to act snidy and offer no solutions than to offer something that might be wrong, and call into question their self identity.

I grant that you do make a contribution, a tiny, tiny one - because without action, your ideas will never be bigger than the few tiny brain cells they occupy.

Saying "its' complex, I dont have any solutions" is a cop-out, do you think if everybody did that the corperate tax avoidance and greed would get better or worse? Or do you think if harsher punishments are introduced and enforced it might make the executives who are in the grey area of activity think twice?

Compare more legal countries like the US with corrupt countries where this isn't enforced (e.g. Pakistan) it's clear that enforcement and the threat of punishment vastly helps mitigate corruption, and while there are no absolute silver bullets, threats of punishment are good for keeping the "lawful evil" in line, because it forces them to factor punishment into the risk equation, which otherwise, is only about profit.
