When I tested o1 a few hours ago, it seemed like it was losing context. After I asked it to use a specific writing style, and pasting a large reference text, it forgot my demand. I reminded it, and it kept the rule for a few more messages, and after another long paste it forgot again.
I just watched the power phone on / off preview, and it has the issues which I assumed it would have.

Long-press to turn on a powered-off phone is not a standard. Even I don't know how to turn these devices on, so I do a combination of multiple short presses, multiple long presses until it works.

Powering the phone off via the button won't work on modern phones, since the hardware power button has become the tool to invoke an assistant. You need to swipe down the notifications twice and use the software power button from there.

In this room I have 6 Android devices from different manufacturers.

Then there are so many OS differences between all the vendors, that it becomes almost impossible to teach someone who doesn't know how Android generally works if it isn't on their own device.

Surely not all that blood is on the hands of the CEO, or even UHC. But everyone has either been denied claims or knows someone that has, through some of the most disgusting treatment witnessable from corporate america. It'd be one thing if you were denied a claim for.... any variety of reasons that follow from the inherent difficulty of managing health insurance as many countries can attest to. But overriding doctor concerns to withhold funding for necessary treatment and withholding as much as possible while raking in profits leaves people with very bitter tastes in their mouths.

Mine included: I'm paying for a medical procedure for a friend next week because her insurance won't cover anesthesia and she can't afford the out of pocket. I had multiple relatives die much sooner than they had to because they were denied funding for critical medication. I've had multiple friends talk about "rationing insulin" (thankfully, both times referring to the past). And naturally healthcare interests—UHC included—lobby both parties heavily, so there's a lot of incentive to continue ignoring the elephant in the room.

I stopped writing React for probably 2 years and now the whole framework is different and I have to relearn the entire thing. Defining a component is completely changed, changing state is completely changed, and the component lifecycle is completely replaced and it feels like the complexity of the framework has gone through the roof. At least for me this is the type of churn that makes me not want to do it anymore.
Why would you need to write your password on a post-it note if you use a password manager? Also, why would the note need to be specifically "on your desk"? If I really had no other choice than writing down a password, I would keep it in a more subtle/hidden place (my wallet, or my phone case, or in my locker). That's still not secure against a targeted attack, but I wouldn't be the lowest hanging fruit at least.

Also, if you are able to reset the master password of your password manager, then something is seriously wrong with the solution your company uses.

Advice for a good and rememberable master password: use a passphrase. 6 random words are easier to recall than lots of characters. Throw in one number and one capital letter in two random places (replacing o with 0 or i with 1 is not random, neither are start and end of words), use a special character as words separator, and you got an easy to remember password that checks all the security requirements.

Heck, even using a line or two from the lyrics of a song you know (but obviously not your favorite or the one you sing every morning) is easier and better than most passwords. Some time ago I used the first line of "Toxicity" by System of a Down, when I didn't have the time to craft a good passphrase. Checks all the marks (special chars and numbers included), and was not anymore guessable than a random passphrase during the short time I used it.

I would politely argue against the word “collapse”. It’s overly dramatic. It makes no sense when talking about societies. Peter Zeihan uses the word a lot but that doesn’t mean it’s correct. Peter just knows that fear sells. But what does it mean for a society to collapse? One day all is fine and the next day it is not? “Downward spiral” seems more appropriate.

I was reasonably impressed by MSFT IT when I worked there. I was primarily a BYOD Mac user and only had to deal with IT two to three times over the course of 8 years. I took it for granted at the time because I came from the startup work where you're basically your own IT person. But other large companies after Microsoft clearly demonstrated to me that Microsoft is on top of their shit and the average is fucking terrible.
I only use a password manager on my work computer because my boss forces me to.

I find your question more surprising! Why would you use a password manager voluntarily? It's a torture device.
I use it because my paycheck depends on it. What's your excuse?

If I care about a service, I care enough to remember the password. Everything else might as well be a post-it-note on my desk... Though I prefer a simple one-word password that I can easily remember.
I guess "statically linked" just doesn't have the same ring to it. (And even with that, it still suggests using docker...)

I mean it was probably a jive at OpenAIs transition to for-profit, but you’re absolutely right.

Enterprise decision makers care about compliance, certifications and “general market image” (which probably has a proper English word). OpenAI has none of that, and they will compete with companies that do.
When I worked at a large bank they blocked ChatGPT on the network. Unfortunately I was a new grad who didn’t know Java working in a Java team. I just turned off the vpn and copy pasted the code back and forth until it worked. Boss didn’t seem to mind. Left the job after 2 months anyway.
I’d argue that what an NFT really is is a vehicle for laundering huge amounts of dirty money.

The banana, the angle of the banana the certificate itself are all theatre, designed to be a plausible high value good that can be created from thin air with the sole purpose of being an excuse to transfer someone some money that they can then claim to be legitimate earnings regardless of where the money originally came from.

Yeah. I don't know junior devs, outside of those motivated by an insatiable quest for knowledge and never-ending curiosity, are ever going to close the skill gap when they use AI tools to shit out circa ~2021 best practices from stackoverflow.
That's fair, but that wasn't actually the question

> Do you have kids, if so how do you deal with frequent disruptions to the morning routine? Do you not have days where you just need to get up and go e.g. to catch a flight, get to a meeting, take a kid to school, or because you stayed up late and got drunk, etc... and taking vitamins took a back seat?

What's being asked here was "do you have days where you won't bother to take your medicine". And my point was, as a diabetic... no, I don't. I do it every day at pretty much the same time. And I expect most people could do exactly the same. Having children or wanting to stay out late drinking doesn't change that.

That being said, I 100% that I would prefer one shot every 6 months, if that was an option (I take 2 shots per day at the same times, and then 2-8 more over the course of the day)

Because of MITM-ing TLS with their own certificates, they could also stop you from dumping tons of code into an LLM prompt by blocking all public LLMs (or even all sites not on an allowlist).

The reason it's silly is really that you can always take "secrets" with you, be it by taking photos with your phone ("lets ban phones") or memorizing or writing on paper. Security is useful when it prevents accidental, inadvertent leakage of information ("stop me from shooting myself in the foot"). Anything else, and the inconvenience will make people figure out ways around it.

And the real reason people won't leak information is either ethics and morality, or legal liability.

> I don't understand why most password manager software that's being used in Enterprise and even targets that market specifically does not have the most basic features that people need.

> Sharing passwords to external company accounts is essential for a marketing department, for example. Yet the proposed solution is to use an Android device for that. Good luck recovering that after an attack.

Not really. We likely wouldn't allow a marketing tool that couldn't integrate with auth standards. Which is why we have dozens of systems integrated together with one identity and SSO between everything. It's the companies that make dozens of exceptions from their auth standards that have to deal with this password sharing nonsense and security nightmare. Password sharing is a Bad Idea even if sometimes it's the most expedient.

I’m not sure you can considering how broad a term “better” is. I do know a lot of employees in a lot of non-tech organisations here in Denmark wishes they could still use Zoom.

Even in my own organisation Teams isn’t exactly a beloved platform. The whole “Teams” part of it can actually solve a lot of the issues our employees have with sharing documents, having chats located in relation to a project and so on, but they just don’t use it because they hate it.

But what about the learning rate that converts juniors into seniors over time? This will slow that process for most people, and introduce artificial cliffs and holes based on what the AI can’t fix and the junior doesn’t have enough learned skills to figure out.
"the actual software we use daily doesn’t seem like it’s getting noticeably better"

Honestly, this seems like a straw man. The kind of distributed productivity tools like Miro, Figma, Stackblitz, etc. that we all use day-to-day are both impressive in terms of what they do, but even more impressive in terms of how they work. Having been a remote worker 15 years ago, the difference in what is available today is light-years ahead of what was available back then.

All this with an understanding on how programming works, but not being able to code.
> I think this is probably a pleasant way of using a sequence of better and better approximations to the Dirac delta.

That can give wrong answers because derivative of the limit is not always the limit of the derivative.

When modeling phenomena with Dirac delta, I think the question becomes do I really need a discontinuity to have a useful model or can I get away with smoothening the discontinuity out.
I'm not sure what your point is.

This is the bigger reality. It’s turned almost all business and academic writing into long-winded meaningless trash. Well, more than it already was I guess. It seems that the way people use it is to expand few bits of information into many bits of content to convince others that work was done. It’s like the Turing test for laziness. The other issue is that it tends toward agreement on anything it wasn’t trained to specifically disagree about. I can see a smarter and more disagreeable bot doing much worse on LMSys than the sycophant models. Nothing new there I guess. But it’s spilling over to human norms as well, in that previously normal human deviation from chat model style interactions is anomalous, so everybody has to use the AI, and therefore nobody is providing any more value than the LLM, so everybody is getting laid off, except the disagreeable guy, and he gets fired first. It’s hacking us in the positive reinforcement vulnerabilities, ones that get worse the more they’re exploited, but it has none of the human resource constraints that previously kept them in check.
I often use the AI as a starting point and don’t use it unless I understand it. As a jr dev I think you just have to be smart and do the same. I’ve learned new ways to do things from the AI output, I imagine jr devs would be able to too.
Isn't this similar to how for example the food industry has developed.

I’ve found it effective in the past as a manager to assign the implementation of a feature, end to end to a junior developer, and basically rubber stamp their PRs.

Our company has a culture of expecting the person who wrote the code to support it, and so if it’s poorly written, they inevitably have to learn to fix it, and build it back in a way that can prevent issues in the future.

Obviously care has to be taken to assign the right projects with the right level of guidance and guard rails but when done well, people learn quickly.

I think the same spirit can be applied to AI generated code

If you don't believe me, try learning Rust while writing a server for your work.

Tickets are useless. Real tickets are unit tests that need to pass for the software to be ready for production.

Tickets cannot protect you, only Odin's switch statement on stack trace can protect developers from bad changes.

I will give you an example, you worked for a company and on a ticket, you wrote “this code works this specific way and should never be changed”. After 6 months, the company fires you and another senior developer takes your place. The new developer never read previous tickets because no one read old completed tickets, so no one will read the message you left, and they will change the code accidentally.

However, in Odin with unit tests and locking stack traces with switch statements, the code is really protected from these kinds of accidents.

I am just going to leave this here: https://www.enforcementtracker.com/

Yeah, you better comply. And it is also pretty simple — if you don't so anything that requires that you get informed consent from your users you don't need to ask them.

Each combination of personal datum and purpose requires such consent if it isn't a strictly needed purpose (legitimate interest). Example: If you have an online shop you can e.g. collect someones address for the purpose of shipping — if they order and enter there address the user implicitly gave you their informed consent that they agree to you using that address to ship the product to them. Logical: when they order and pay money it can be assumed they want to give their address for that purpose.

They did not give you consent to sell that same address off to the highest bidder. If that is what you need to do, you would have to explicitly ask them to whom you want to sell that data and what they plan to do with it — same data, but different purpose. Not legitimate interest since you don't strictly need to do that to sell a product. And you better have a clear wording describing that purpose otherwise you collected uninformed consent and that is worth zlich. If you feel like you need to trick users into agreeing, that is what the law aims to prevent.

IP adresses and such have also been ruled personal data. Server side logging for technical purposes is legitimate interest, but storing the same data anywhere (not only cookies!) for the purpose of ad tracking requires you to get the users informed consent before collecting the data. You can assume that if it can be used to personally identify a user in a sea of users, it is personal data, even if it needs to be used in conjunction with other data to reach that identifiability.

Also: if there is a million "No" switches with two menu layers and one green "Accept" button: you created a nice toy there, but it didn't gather informed concent from your user and is therefore utterly useless. Informed consent must be given freely. If you make one easier than the other it hasn't been given freely. If you visually code one as the good/default and the other as the bad/meaningless/complicated choice, the choice was not made freely. Play stupid games, win stupid prices.

The law is pretty clear on all that, lived reality hasn't cought up yet and people pay real money for that. I recommend that you just read the law, it is probably worth to read instead of copying what everybody else (including the big ones) are doing.
They're not adding a $200 plan to solve a profitability challenge.
