I like Terence Eden’s blog

I think you and OP are viewing the problem differently.

I think you’re saying “Don’t worry about it when they ghost you”, which is fine. I agree with that sentiment. I don’t worry about it when companies ghost me.

OP, however, is saying a company’s tendency to ghost applicants can be wielded against them to discourage the practice. By crowdsourcing information about which companies put in the minimal effort to send out a simple rejection message, some pressure may be exerted on companies that fail to do so. Looking bad on Glassdoor/Yelp/whatever can lead to some companies deciding to change their practices. Not because the company suddenly wants to do the right thing, but because they are now being publicly shamed for their bad behavior. And that could affect their bottom line

One of our candidates turned out to be a nice guy but extremely lazy and entitled

Not only do you have to do the hard work that 20 people used to do before the pandemic lay offs

Is the guy properly lazy, or is he just not willing to handle the workload of 20 people? I’m a hard worker, but only up to a certain point. If I joined a small team that had one employee trying to handle the work that used to be split between 20 employees, I wouldn’t exactly be inspired to go above and beyond my post/pay grade; I’d be concerned that no amount of extra effort I put in would ultimately matter because the team is fundamentally understaffed.

Gimp is really just a rare/archaic ableist slur anyway - like to refer to someone with a limp or otherwise a leg/lack of a leg that impedes their gait. I’ve never heard it used in my life.

I’ve only heard it used that way once in my life. When I was in high school (about 20 years ago), I hurt my leg while playing basketball and was on crutches for a few weeks. This one kid in one of my classes constantly referred to me as “gimp” throughout my recovery.

Perhaps I misunderstood the author’s intent. Though even if their position is that the red team and blue team will be on a more even playing field when both have access to AI tools, I’m not sure I can agree with that assessment. The asymmetrical nature of offense and defense isn’t fundamentally changed by the advent of AI tools. While the current slate of AI tools may be uniquely more useful for finding and patching bugs, I can’t imagine a future in which AI tools aren’t also being tailored for exploiting and penetrating. The red team isn’t just going to sit around and not adapt the available toolset to favor their use cases as well.

Much like the arms race between anti-virus development and virus development, there will be defensive AI development and offensive AI development. Similar to what we’ve already seen with the arms race between LLMs and software that can detect if something was written by an LLM.

This fluff piece has quite the pie-in-the-sky attitude toward the blue-teaming applications of AI.

Some commentators predict that future AI models will unearth entirely new forms of vulnerabilities that defy our current comprehension, but we don’t think so.

How reassuring.

The defects are finite, and we are entering a world where we can finally find them all.

Could’ve said the same thing when enterprise anti-malware came onto the scene decades ago, but the reality was it was just another vector for the arms race between the red team and the blue team. The author seems to put a lot of stock in the whole “the blue team has access to these AI tools that the red team doesn’t currently have access to” argument, which kinda ignores the fact that that reality is simply not going to last.

I could be wrong, but any article suggesting “zero-days are numbered” doesn’t pass the smell test.

Can you cite a source for this? I cannot find any reference to Conway Twitty ever coming out as gay.

What makes us say he was a “long closeted gay man”? Other than rocking the same haircut as Liberace

Watching Dragon Ball reruns is legitimately hard for me some days since Toriyama’s passing. His death hit me harder than any other I can recall. The global outpouring of grief and camaraderie was a sight to behold. It was comforting to know so many other people loved him and his work and were mourning together.

I remember I was driving when the news about MJ’s sudden death broke over the radio. I was on my way to grab some lunch before meeting up with some friends to see a movie. I think we were gonna see the “Transformers” sequel.

I pulled into a fast food joint and they had the news on TV. I felt bad cause Farah Fawcett died the same day but her death was entirely relegated to the little news ticker at the bottom of the screen.

To some readers, even choosing Outlook as a part of a spacecraft’s communications portfolio would seem to be an anomaly. However, it is a standard part of the “Commercial Off-The-Shelf” (COTS) software astronauts use for their day-to-day operations.

To be clear, the spacecraft and primary flight systems will run on specialized radiation-hardened hardware and rigorously maintained software. COTS just complements this with a friendly layer, like Windows and Outlook, so astronauts can check schedules, indulge in personal communications, and so on, in a familiar way.

Kinda wild that we have such an abundance of processing power and memory that even space missions can load up with bloated software for the sake of “friendly” user interfaces.

As someone who has used Outlook a lot in an enterprise environment, I would not have believed that literal NASA astronauts use it for even the smallest task. Not because it can’t accomplish the task, but because of how slow, buggy, and unreliable it tends to be, even when properly managed by a capable IT team. They have been in space less than a day and they’re already wasting time and energy troubleshooting

I’m stumped on this one.

Since some other comments requested them:

FEN: 8/8/8/4p2k/4Pp2/8/2N5/1K6 w - - 0 1

Took me quite a while to find it. Frustrating considering White has such an overwhelming advantage in this position.

I had this same error a few months ago when a drive was failing to mount because (unbeknownst to me) it was overheating. I turned the system off for a few hours before troubleshooting (I had errands to run). When I came back, the system booted without issue.

If you’re looking for an easy troubleshooting step, have you tried turning off the system for several minutes (and unplugging it) and then powering it back on?

Does the scenario you provided even measure emotional intelligence? I feel like it measires confidence and willingness to confront someone, neither of which feel particularly related to emotional intelligence.

I wasn’t suggesting that particular example was for emotional intelligence; it was just an example of a kind of problem solving that isn’t covered under IQ. It was a segue into the adjacent topic of emotional intelligence.

They don’t measure creativity, emotional depth, or moral worth - they simply measure a person’s ability to reason and solve problems relative to others.

The frequent misunderstanding of what IQ means probably arises due to the vagueness of the term. “Intelligence quotient” is very non-specific, despite IQ measuring a very specific kind of intelligence. I wouldn’t even say IQ measures “a person’s ability to reason and solve problems relative to others.” The problems found on an IQ test are of a very specific nature. “Complete the following number sequence”, “Which of these shapes doesn’t belong”, etc.

A problem that won’t be found on an IQ test is: “Jeff believes his manager has made an inappropriate remark toward one of his colleagues. What should he do?” This is a problem that needs a solution, but isn’t within the purview of IQ measuring. You mentioned that IQ tests don’t measure things like emotional depth, which is true, but emotional depth (or emotional intelligence) is still intelligence, so the term “intelligence quotient” only referring to certain kinds of intelligence seems like it will naturally be misunderstood by the masses.

I guess my takeaway is that the term “IQ” could use re-branding to avoid this problem.

About 10 years ago, I read “Creativity, Inc” by Edwin Catmull, co-founder of Pixar. It detailed the ideas and events that lead up to the advent of feature 3D animation and filmmaking. I found it to be an inspiring story that mixed a passion for computer science with the desire for compelling storytelling. I was independently studying animation at the time, and it definitely lit a fire in me, as it was written by and for computer nerds who would like to make art.

I’ve always been more technically-oriented than artistic, so it was nice to see a book written from a similar perspective. I spent most of my young adulthood working on my technical skills so I could get a decent job, but around the time I read this book, I actually started putting time into creative endeavours in my free time as well.

If you want a view to count you need to use an official client

I would think that parsing the website would count the same as any browser-based page load, since parsing the website requires first fetching the page (probably using something like wget or curl under the hood). I dunno if non-logged-in page loads are generally counted toward the overall view count on a given video, though.

I wouldn’t say Matrix needs 1:1 feature parity with Discord in order to be a viable alternative for a lot of users.

My social circle doesn’t typically use the entire suite of features in Discord. Text chat, voice chat, video calling, file sharing, and screen sharing cover our usual needs.
