I'll be interested to see how these sound to the human ear. I bought some tech training videos that used these from an official source for a cert. The cadence and forced breaths had that uncanny valley vibe that made it hard not to notice. Perhaps it's less noticeable if you're just background listening for pleasure or something.

Comment New topic, same problem (Score 1) 137

I do appreciate how this attempts to shift the problem onto workers and not where the real problem lies: employers who are unwilling to promote from within or train their current staff. This has been an extremely big problem in the software engineering world for at least the last decade and it's great to see it spreading to infosec. No one wants to hire new people, no one wants to pay what senior workers are worth. They want senior devs for intern pay with no training budget, and they're only willing to hire the specific unicorn who has experience with the exact tech stack they use. And when they have problems finding people to take these roles, they go crying to Uncle Sam that they need to offshore jobs or hire people from other countries because there's just no way to find American workers who fit their needs. The problem gets worse because they're all doing it! They all expect someone else to train and promote so that they themselves can poach those experienced devs. But there's no one to poach when they all refuse to promote! But yes, it's very good to see this exact issue spreading to other tech work. Glad to see exactly nothing was learned over the last ten years. This bodes very well for the economy, safety, and prosperity of the American public.

For this to all be a simulation, there must be some sort of software running, perfectly, without experiencing any errors, for an extended period of time. This is, to put it mildly, impossible. There are a theoretical infinite number of edge cases to account for, and there's just no way software could be written to account for all of those. The source code would take up more space than all the atoms in the entire universe. All of that aside, this is my least favorite thing to speculate about. Even if it is true, which we have basically no way to confirm - it's like asking for proof a deity exists, but even if we can prove it's true, which we can't, what do we then do with that information?

If any President attempts to pressure the FBI Director or Attorney General or any other official to obstruct justice, it is the duty of that official to take action. If none can be taken within the government, he should resign

What is the basis for this claim? Your personal opinion? Or is there any legal backing you can provide to show that it's true? Because otherwise this is simply you giving an opinion on how you would act in that situation and assuming everyone else in the world is exactly like you.

You know, if you're going to call someone else a liar, you might be better served by not lying yourself. Just a tip. She did not call "EVERY SINGLE ONE of her opponents supporters as the absolute DREGS of society ". She said half, which is a verifiable fact. Sorry if you need a safe space to protect you from non-PC facts, but she was right. You're the one lying here.
