Devops/Platform/Cloud engineer, whatever you wanna call it, I enjoy making software that makes making software easier. I enjoy doing cool shit with cool people. Huge Golang fan. I also play MTG and anime fighters. AI art == auto block
Fwiw, my handwriting has not improved since ever, and I rarely write. I scribble a bunch of loops for my signature.
bro are you five
Dropped out of college due to rotating credential requirements and only going part time due to funds. Got my A+ cert, worked at an MSP overnights, taught myself coding to handle repeat requests. Dug more into system design, got promoted, repeat until principal.
What the heck none of you guys have STEM degrees?
This is antisemitism. This isn’t leftism. This isn’t anti-Zionism. This isn’t progressive activism. This is just blatant antisemitism.
The "iced coffee in an interview" discourse is the fucking stupidest shit I've ever seen. I'd call them dehumanizing bottom feeders but bottom feeders actually clean up shit.
Why is it whenever I read a rat/EA writing, all I can think of is a dude in a shitty fedora at thanksgiving saying "Maternal unit, can you please pass the sodium chloride?? I need to season my avian dinosaur"
This just isn’t true at all: “The sixth virtue is empiricism. The roots of knowledge are in observation and its fruit is prediction. What tree grows without roots?”
I don't get how people aren't naturally curious. You have the opportunity to go to school and you chose to ignore history?
I 100% agree here, learning how to handle rejection (especially as an autistic man) is paramount to growing and becoming a better human. Therapy helps with this.
it’s also a shame in that I can truly see the value of teaching a workshop to men on “what do you do if you’ve been called a creep,” except that I somehow don’t think these are the right *people* to teach such a workshop in the slightest
God forbid a girl be slightly awake for two to eight hours of torturous autistic masking
I’m sorry, but if you bring an iced coffee - or any damn beverage at all - to a job interview, you’re disqualified. It’s not hard, people.
The only way I can describe Yud is that he was that 15 year old that used to get straight A's in elementary school, then got really into smoking weed and watching Rick and Morty.
I don’t want to be a dick. But having read a few things by this Yudkowsky guy and now seeing that he left school in middle school and didn’t go to high school or college I think I’m understanding the situation a lot better, or things at least seem to fit.
"I don't update my worldview based on new facts, I subscribe to baysien probability in rationality" is just fucking "uhm please pass the sodium chloride" Fucking Redditor dweebs
What's stopping someone from using their first wish from a genie to be like "I wish you would not convert my wishes to have ironic consequences"
I don't want to make a profit, I just want to make the world a better place
God, grant me the courage to change the things I can and incredible new powers to change the things I can't.
What do you mean being a pregnant woman in AZ doesn't allow you into the HoV lane? Is it a life with rights or not??
May go back to uni to get my specialized PhD
No one gets a PhD in "what if the people in charge of the Pentagon are chud idiots and they collapse the world economy because caring about strategy is Woke and Gay". But that is (self-evidently) a far more likely thing to happen, simply because it only requires stupidity to accomplish.
And here I am saying dumb shit for free, these doofuses get to do it on the company dime.
Air gapping apparently wouldn't work in alignment tests because, I shit you not according to this OpenAI guy, one computer could run the CPU hot and tell the other airgapped one it is in trouble. I wish I could get paid $10m a year to say the stupidest cybersecurity thing you've ever heard
It’s good to see people learning about this. These are the kinds of things people mean when they are asked the question about its right to exist as a Jewish state, and they push back. A Jewish state means other citizens have less rights. This is actual apartheid. It’s not a metaphor.
just learned this today
Look outside. Do you see snow? No? Well, you will soon. You might also see $30/hr more in your pocket if you become an emergency snow shoveler. Registration begins Saturday, September 19th. Sign up by November 30th for access to paid orientation and expedited payment processing.
Emergency Snow Shovelers - DSNY
Emergency Snow Shovelers are called on after heavy snowfalls to remove snow and ice citywide from public areas like bus stops, crosswalks, fire hydrants, and step streets.

I need to know why there were too many qualified animal fuckers applying to the FBI.
We can not go back to reaching across the aisle anymore. The winning strategy for an opposition party must be "i will put a bullet in their heads"
Glad folks are appalled by photos of the "phone booth" cage under an awning, but pls understand: This IG report is likely part of a cover-up. Amnesty Int'l interviewed detainees EIGHT MONTHS AGO who said the cage was half this size (couldn't stand up), had no awning, w feet chained to the bottom.
