<p>Sleeping with your employee is bad because sleeping with your employee is bad. Same shit as "weed is bad because it's illegal, and weed is illegal because it's bad". For someone who doesn't (sleep with employee / smoke weed) the obvious action here is to criticize (sleeping with employee / smoking weed) because otherwise they're painted to be a bad person. Only a person who (sleeps with employees / smokes weed) would ever say otherwise, and those are bad people so their opinion isn't exactly valid in a civilized social discourse.</p>

<p>> The difference with humans is that you can incentivize them to try and do the right thing via money.<p>Gen Z has learned that usually, your dedication to work is not tied to the monetary reward.<p>> Where a human fucks up by introducing a crash, the LLM fucks up by just not solving the problem you asked it to solve.<p>Have you ever done a group work project at school?</p>

<p>Most likely the engineer won't find other dudes relatable, so he won't be taking part in the dick measuring contest, so he'll be at the bottom. Meanwhile the bartender has the same core values as the rest of the group, and has more achievements that are aligned with those values.<p>When I was a kid I was one of the best students at school which gave me negative respect from peers who valued sports, physical power, and pissing off teachers, which were things I sucked at. I think that your example is a similar situation.</p>

<p>> So if you work for some of these critical companies and your perfect man or woman shows up, you should be on your guard.<p>TBH if I was higher up the chain of command, I'd actually give less fucks. If I have a mortgage I cannot afford to lose job or money so I'm on guard because I'm one failed marriage away from homelessness. But if I have ten million dollars to my name, and a Chinese spy shows up then what exactly do I have to lose? If the company kicks me out then good riddance, I can already retire to perfect comfort and nobody can take away the memory of spending a year with a 10/10 partner.</p>

<p>It's extremely difficult to find, hire, and then put into the right position a competent security engineer. Meanwhile competent hackers grow on trees. I understand that mistakes here were silly, but that's not the point. The point is, security is fucking difficult.<p>IMO the practical solution to this problem - because telling companies "just do security better" works as much as telling fat people "just eat less" - would be some kind of central registry of car parts. This was already implemented in iPhones back in the day that if a repair wasn't signed off by Apple, you couldn't install a new part to your iPhone. I imagine that if the government had a similar thing but for cars, then thieves would stop stealing cars because each stolen part would eventually be flagged somewhere and the end customer would be upset, never coming back.<p>I say "government" because companies cannot be trusted to make a simple interface "log in -> enter part number and car license plate -> ready to install". I assume that outside of the US the "log into government website" part is already solved in one way or another. On the privacy side, it really shouldn't be controversial, assuming that people are already used to the VIN having a repair history tied to it.</p>

<p>On one hand I'm all for preservation of video games. If the publisher refuses to sell it for a reasonable price, then that's moral permission for piracy. On the other one... the magic isn't there anymore. I'm not a kid. There are very, very few games I can revisit and actually have fun.</p>

<p>Yes, Google Maps is becoming so frustrating:<p>1. Navigation makes pointless detours.<p>2. The "rotate the map back to north-up" button doesn't work.<p>3. "You're looking at Barcelona and asked for restaurants? I know a few, in Tokyo"<p>4. Half of navigation window is useless UI elements I cannot hide.<p>I've been trying mapy.cz for a while because they were fantastic for tourism purposes, but they're locking more and more features behind a paywall and I'm not sure I want to pay for that. The killer features of Google Maps are the POIs, reviews, photos, Street View, and public transport planning. I cannot really switch to another map app without having those.</p>

<p>This critique makes zero sense.<p>1. Most companies release their most expensive models first, and then follow up with cheaper ones. Like, that's business 101. Nvidia does it, Lego does it.<p>2. You're comparing a new flagship to a three-year old phone, bought second-hand. Like, those two serve completely different markets.</p>

<p>1. Aren't... all phones manufactured in China?<p>2. I know it's whataboutism, but from the perspective of a non-US consumer, it doesn't exactly make a difference which country exactly spies on me. I use a Chinese web browser because it covers all my use cases and I don't see a problem with that.</p>

<p>Well, I was moving away from Windows so it's natural I wanted to replace things I had working on Windows.<p>Lossless WMA is an ancient exotic format so yeah, fair to push back. But Xbox controllers are the standard gaming controllers so there's no excuse. The rest of my complaints are Linux fuckery.<p>BTW my keyboard is also from Microsoft and someone did all the difficult things in the driver except one simple last step, which is like two extra lines of code. There are like ten forks of this driver on GitHub, each of them adding the same two lines.<p>The driving wheel is NOT Microsoft. The whole software stack had a critical bug that made the wheel unusable after a few minutes of gameplay. People worked on this for a long time. It finally got fixed, a few months after I joined the Linux party. BTW the Linux driver/userland tool implemented correctly LEDs on the wheel EXCEPT they were missing a parser of a file format that took me a day to manually implement and connect. It would take me at least a week though to make it a quality contribution. If I need to redo this for a new game, I'll publish my code.<p>I feel like there's a common theme that Linux usually almost works and for every functionality you need to spend a day fixing it because the developers did do all the difficult work, but then either botched UI, failed to implement non-core functionalities, or didn't test less common use cases. When my Fedora refused to update until I removed Wine, the official response was along "your program your problem".</p>

<p>Office 97 already had exactly the same icons for cut-copy-paste. Rename icon is from Windows 8.1 (2013). Share icon is present in Windows XP. Trash can appears in Windows 95, although the meaning "to delete" was indeed introduced in Windows 11, previously it was the trash itself.<p>In other words, people who were born alongside with four of these icons are already sending their own kids to schools.</p>
