Trying to ween myself off this hellhole of a website. Early @github human. Now @Workbrew_.
I really need Apple to design a smart coffee mug that docks on an iPhone MagSafe to heat my drink. You know you want it too @tim_cook
My main issue with "pursuit of AGI" is that many SV execs have always been sociopaths with a god complex. But before, they justified their self-centred need for power behind confusing ideologies like 'longtermism' or 'e/acc'. Now, they have an easy-to-sell platform for their egos
Anyone here working somewhere that doesn’t give you admin rights on your Mac? I’d love to pick your brain about a few things! DM me if you’re up for a chat!
It's quite annoying that I'm now going to have to mute across all platforms one of my favourite words: 'vibes'
Does anyone have the scoop on why Google Workspaces/gDrive refuse to work on discovery features? It's so weird to me. Like, just a simple company dashboard would do it.
There are lots of things that you can say about this website in 2024, but I think my summary is: 'Digital evil lair for the baddies'
Miami suggestions for a long weekend with a 10yr & 12yr old? Things we like: - Hipster neighbourhoods with coffee shops & boutiques you can walk around - Wildlife experiences (Gators? Manatees?) - Vegetarian food
When interviewing, assessing your future boss/peers is almost as hard hiring people yourself. Plenty of times I’ve been interviewed and thought the interviewer was useless but they turned out to be amazing. Or, I thought they were great but then discover it was all veneer
Apols for being alarmist– but seriously, this kind of thing worries me a lot. At present (and probably never) it is not possible to give any AI a goal that cannot be misinterpreted …because AIs *are not human*
Now let's hypothetically abstract that to: Some well-meaning government gives an AI system the unchangeable, 'prime'-level goal of "never release the nukes" 😩
I’d personally give an AI full access to my shit if I could just say: ‘Make sure I get this type of notification on this device when this happens’ …without dealing with endless conflicting app or system settings 😩
[Rant… sorry] Absolute madness that I can combine my work & personal gmail inboxes on the Gmail mobile app but not on mail.google.com. (And no I don't want to have to use a 3rd-party desktop app)
Workbrew aligns the needs of developers and security teams. Now you can deploy `brew` with real-time vulnerability scanning, license visibility, and CVE alerts. Say hello to Workbrew 1.0
I do quite hate magic links as a UX
Data from Clerk. "Magic Links" are magic in name only Proud that Clerk has successfully guided builders to: - Enable Sign in with Google - Keep passwords enabled - Choose Email OTP over Magic Links Data > hype cycles 📊
TIL that tech is pretty much the only industry where ‘Staff’ is more senior than ‘Senior’. And now I think about it- the wording does make more sense for “on staff but not yet senior”. Tech is weird.
hardy ha ha. But seriously, people need to realise that traditional polling doesn't work in the new world order of populist leaders. Because "the will of the people" populists promote often include policies that the people themselves are ashamed to admit that they want passed
