While she's not wrong, saying it to graduates....Not the best idea.

It will be transformative, and not everyone will benefit. Some are getting screwed right out of the gate. The demise of the Newspaper industry seems an app comparison. That was just a little slower in its disruption. And journalists could migrate to new media outlets. But now even that is at risk. And it's not just them.

If everything that can be affected is, many entry level jobs will be gone. People with valid entry level skills can be replaced. And there are corporations already laying off people, prematurely in my opinion. The economy doesn't work if people can't make money for their work. And if the people don't have money, bad things can/will happen.

I'm currently safe in my position, currently. But I'm not taking that for granted. My experience helps me at the moment, but, you get an AI in here, let it read all our docs, and explore the system...who knows?

The best I can say to the kids currently in college, get in front of it. Learn how to use it appropriately, use it as a tool and it can help. To me just like a hammer, using it correctly, it's helpful, in correctly, you can hurt your self, ruin a project. But putting your head in the sand, and pretending it's nothing, that will hurt you.

I really think Roblox is missing the point.

Sure, age-verification might impede underage use of their product, but there are a lot of adults that understand the age-verification movement to be an invasion of their privacy. Whether or not this is true, "perception is reality".

With independents and the Big 4 there's plenty to read. And there's nothing like walking into a physical book store. It's a needed thrid space, in a way.

Where is one of the last places you'd expect a rear-view mirror?

The SR-71 had one.

The practical use case was checking the deployment of the landing parachute.

Speaking of forensics, if you're a law-abiding citizen who just wants to keep private information private, iOS lockdown mode will reported halt the Coruna forensics tool in its tracks. Source, Eva Galperin at EFF. It's a royal PITA to use though.

Or, as Robert Morris Sr. said about breaking confidential communications, "Look for plaintext. It comes up in the darnedest place", or words to that effect.

I invest in you, you buy from me, They invest in you, you buy from them.... and still prices go up and services go away.

The real problem is that given his rank, he would be in a position to hear things sooner than others further down the food chain. Anyone paying attention to who is doing any betting could have (or should have) asked what they might now that would cause them to place the bet they did. In this case, it boils down to an OPSEC violation, and that's illegal under any circumstance, punishable by UCMJ if not actual civilian law. The fact that the FBI are involved tells me that this guy will probably be facing UCMJ violations too (if he's lucky, court martial if he's not), and may not be a Sergeant Major any longer when the dust settles.

Curious, then, that if such a law was already passed that recently that the likes of Pelosi (and surely other members of both parties) still managed to get around it.
Congress (as a whole) acts as if their shit doesn't stink. It's high time they get reminded that it most certainly does.

I hope you find something good soon.

I've been looking since March 2024. Having no reasonable options in sight, have reopened https://informationr.us/

I can think of four reasons ticket sales have dropped.

1. Much of what Hollywood has been putting out is crap.
2. Politicians increase taxes constantly, resulting in less disposable income for potential movie-goers.
3. Ticket costs increasing - Not much can be done there, theaters do it to compensate for the loss in sales.
4. Streaming is a thing. Why go to a theater to sit in a sticky, uncomfortable seat when one can wait a little while for the movie to hit $STREAMING_SERVICE and watch it from the comfort of one's own home?

In this job search, Linked In and Dice- but MOST of my LinkedIn devolves down into one of the above quickly. The number of scammers on Linked In is truly awesome.

Ditto. I'm in ERP. So Claude's knowledge may not be as complete there as say C++, however, It's still decent. Decent enough to help me work thru issues.

I had it write a simple program for copying some settings and setting up some outputs. Stuff that's documented but is a pain to do, mistakes happen...I figured it was a good test. I worked with it for about 4 hours, starting with nothing. Explaining the changes needed and the need. Wrote a beauty of an ABAP program. Simple, complete, documented. $10. If I had to use the offshore resource. it would have been 2 or 3 days. And maybe close to what I needed? Definitely more than $10.

I'm more interested in Saving our on site, employee programmers than the offshore contractors. I'm going to have to train them correctly on using it. It can code, but stupid is a stupid does. You can hurt yourself good if you're not careful.
