Managers are taught to live in a world of emergencies. I believe that someone who takes a measured and thoughtful approach to things is excluded from management out of principal.
Only from a very narrow perspective. Opening yourself up and being real with people is how relationships form. If you test every conversation you are going to have with someone before having it, then the 3rd party basically has a relationship with an AI, not with you.
Now testing every conversation is extreme, but there is harm any time a human reaches out to a computer for social interaction instead of other humans.
I disagree with my sibling comment. The trick is beautiful. If you generate UUIDs such that each bit in the result can be reliably traced back to a single bit in the input, then you can take a substring of the UUID and use that to infer which bits of the input integer must be set to produce that substring. So you can produce a whole list of input bytes that meet the criteria and those become your search results.
The real magic trick here is that the uuids on the page only look random to us because of some bit twiddling and XOR trickery. If we had a better intuition for such things we would notice that successive UUIDs are just as correlated as successive integers.
I know two (educated and hard-working) people in my immediate circle who intentionally keep their income below $30k/year so they qualify for state healthcare programs that they couldn’t otherwise afford unless they were making upwards of $150k.
So we have accountants and scientists who need back surgery intentionally working part-time barista hours.
As a programmer I’m all for gaming the system by knowing and navigating the rules, but the situation is comical.
I agree, but some people use social media to follow 1000s of other users. Some kind of “hot right now” or “high engagement since you last logged on” setting might be nice for them.
> switching back to a rarely used and much more inefficient manual process is extremely disruptive, and even itself raises the risk of catastrophic mistakes.
Catastrophe is most likely to strike when you try to fix a small mistake: pushing a hot-fix that takes down the server; burning yourself trying to take overdone cookies from the oven; offending someone you are trying to apologize to.
Nicely said. The way I think about it: if we can’t write legible and adaptable functions, then we have no chance at making viable systems. All the same engineering skills are at play, just on a different scale.
If you’re stupid enough to get depressed you don’t deserve to rot in bed all day. If you’re stupid enough to get sick you don’t deserve to go into debt.
But I think that’s the difference between seeing gambling as an activity and an addiction.
I after with you, but to be fair many cases of mild mental illness can be improved through regular journaling. Talking to a chat bot is probably not so far off
In the remote era this is the only way that 2nd level managers can exert authority. In the office they have a nicer desk and eat lunch with a different crowd so you know they hold power.
If it makes you feel any better the director is doing exactly the same thing to them.
Nothing has changed for rich people who didn’t see their employees as people anyway. When you are the one stuck with a computer as your boss then tell me nothing has changed. Good luck getting a reference for a better job!
my layman viewpoint is that psychedelics make things that seemed immutable more…mutable. Everyone has some short list of things they are endlessly hung up on. Mushrooms might make you realize there are more viewpoints and more options.
But after you’ve taken them a few times, there isn’t so much resistance. It’s just a goofy light feeling for a few hours. Chasing that feeling when you first took them and realized that “borders are just like, made up man!” is just like chasing any other high.
