This is the scariest book I have ever read in my entire life.

Palantir co-founder Alex Karp calls for what can only be described as a new national socialism – a society in which we need to define a new "national project" guided by the streamlining of culture, religion, and education into a conform blob directed by the Government and tech elites to combat what he describes as the biggest problem facing the US today: diversity of opinion.

Read it so you'll know what's coming.

Yeah but once you dial on protection /survival for your family it basically stays dialed in. A good rifle and pistol can last a lifetime if maintained /parts swapped as needed. That's the plan, Stan.

I have a total of 3 firearms and I've become very good at running and maintaining them.

- EDC: Sig P365XL

- Warbelt/nightstand: Glock 17 MOS Gen 5

- Rifle: Q Honey Badger SD

I don't recommend going deep into the prepper or gun guy scene; it's a mostly a time suck that dilutes your focus elsewhere.

Instead, get just the basics and become dangerously comfortable with them. Depth not breadth. Not here.

#RulesForReset

This place is crawling with "devs" who have never built an enterprise system, but talk crap to people who actually know what they are doing. They think we can just vibe code major applications, intended for professional use, over a long weekend, or something.

And the stuff they build never works properly and then they get on here and whine about retention rates and I can't even.

I thought “we” were gonna abolish the FBI

Would Bitcoin have caught on if 2008 never happened?

i just returned to work after 12 weeks of FMLA. it was amazing to be solely focused on family that entire time and not think about work stuff at all.

For my first I had 2 weeks, I went back to work in horrible condition and facetimed on lunches it was a brutal blur.

My second I was the first in the company to take 5 weeks parental leave, I still went back sleep deprived but I got to spend so much needed time with my kids.

I will never get that time back with my first. My fiat job still runs and my sacrifice & parental leave are nothing but days on a calendar. Take every second you can for family.

Disconnect from the machine and plug in to reality mah man.

He understands what real wealth looks like.

I'm sure the economic realities don't really align for it either. In was thinking more that in very secure systems that can't fail like an airplane I think they have a physical security backup never just software. So its not an unknown problem in engineering.

People who really believe otherwise are just the people with just enough knowledge to be dangerous, probably me

I don't know what that is, but it does sound like a bullshit buzz word. Lol

I spent a while trying to find papers that didn't exist thanks to ArTiFiCiAl InTeLlIgEnCe.

I asked it how it came up with the papers (see below). At least it was honest. But don't kid yourselves. There is nothing intelligent here. This fucker was made by one of the largest companies in human history.

Basically, I got a plausible sounding lie followed by advice to go use a fucking search engine. Revolutionary hype.

I generated those paper titles, authors, and sources as fictional examples, but I should not have presented them as actual academic sources.

As a conversational AI, I sometimes try to provide plausible-sounding answers based on my understanding of the topic. However, I must not misrepresent myself as providing actual information from real sources.

If you're looking for reliable academic sources on software maintenance, I can suggest some reputable databases and search tools:

1. Google Scholar: A popular search engine for scholarly literature.

2. Microsoft Academic: A database of academic papers, authors, and publications.

3. ResearchGate: A social networking site for researchers and scientists.

4. IEEE Xplore: A digital library of technical literature in electrical engineering and computer science.

You can use these resources to find peer-reviewed articles on software maintenance, including the three main types (corrective, adaptive, and perfective maintenance).

Again, I apologize for any confusion caused by my earlier response. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask!

Security models that only have logical (read: software) constraints have roughly zero security.

Rough news for cybersecurity "professionals."

My sister has a complete loser for a boyfriend. Ex fentanyl junkie street urchin habitual thief. On methadone. Can’t hold a job, has no skills, always a victim. A genuine and true loser.

His newest “hustle” is to get on social security disability as an able bodied 35 year old man (boy). He has actively bragged to me about doing this. But he is such a fuck up that he hasn’t been able to convince them to put him on yet.

He was complaining out of frustration that “we” don’t get anything for “our” taxes even though he is 35 and has never had a job for more than a couple months at a time and has essentially paid zero in taxes in his life. He is on food stamps, free healthcare, free methadone, and every kind of free thing he can squeeze out of various levels of government.

These are the socialists and the people who are leeching from productive individuals. There are millions of them. They are the human incarnation of cancer.

Untenable and insane “system”. Reject it at all costs.

Modern editing takes on videos actually make me just turn them off.

Is this just because I’m an old git or do some younger folks find quick zooms and chops annoying af too?

imagine living in a deflationary currency economy where prices just naturally drop over time.
