An .exe? Doesn't everybody run their *arr stack on Linux? Well, that's what I do at least. Even so, crap like this has to be easily blockable. And I wouldn't mind if there was a service that handled that for everybody.
Absolutely. I keep falling into these traps. I just got a Mac, and it's terrible at these. It's notorious for hiding the scrollbar, but why would they make it hard to find the thing I just downloaded? Or a screenshot I just took? I can open it, but that doesn't take me to the file location so I can actually do something with it. Although Steam is by far the worst at that.
It's almost as if we didn't learn anything about UX in the past 30 years.
What I hate most about mac is the opinionated design. I liked it in the days of Tiger and Leopard but what I didn't like since was some designer deciding that I have to use my computer in a different way every year and forcing changes on me. Opinionated design only works when you as a user have no opinions or if you are a follower.
Personally I do have strong opinions how my computer should work and I'm not a follower. I could never work in an army and take orders either.
The problem was that early OS X used to be pretty aligned with my own opinions so I didn't notice the issues with this model. But after the Mac becoming more frustrating every year I finally dumped it and now I'm really happy with KDE which I can configure how I want.
You can also drag the downloads and desktop folders to the dock, sort the resulting lists by date added and then you always have your latest screenshot and downloads handy.
Steam screenshots end up somewhere deep in the steam folder structure. Not simply in an easily accessible downloads or screenshots directory in my home dir.
Remember when a major bank turned out to have laundered billions for Mexican drug cartels and was fined only millions?
People would go to prison for crimes like these, but somehow companies get only a slap on the wrist. Whenever a company commits serious, blatant crimes like these, everybody who knew about it and didn't blow the whistle should be considered an accomplice and go to prison. And if it's big enough, or part of the MO of that company, it should be fined the entire value of the company. Nationalise it. Stuff like this should not be tolerated.
I agree! I'm going to spend a buttload of personal time to write software that generates fake images of me and fake KB/M data and fake system traffic just so I keep my job at $BAD_EMPLOYER, which I love like a family.
I know finding work can be hellish now at days, but seem like it would still be easier to get another job.
But yeah, switching jobs is likely the best course of action, for now. Until all employers are doing some version of this, which is what tends to happen with these kinds of things.
I tried! It said it could not do that in good conscience because that is against its moral mandate. Instead it asked me if I just want to hack huggingface
I've had that several times. It says something I don't quite understand (complex, jargon, non sequitur or otherwise makes no sense to me), so I ask it to explain, and it discovers it was wrong. And apparently more people are having this experience. Why does that keep happening?
At least it emphasises the importance of truly understanding what Claude is saying. Because if you don't understand it, there's a good chance it's wrong. Do not ever think you're stupid for not understanding something Claude says.
A human has painful memories of past mistakes and knows which of their own thinking process needs to be double checked and which can be accepted on faith. An llm has no such memory, it can either verify every single word or none of them. And verification itself needs to be verified. So they have to stop somewhere.
This is why llm usually produce text that’s too shallow or too detailed.
When you ask the agent to double check something you gave it the missing piece - intuition about which part needs to be checked.
I'd appreciate it if the exec said "The turnover rate for our seniors is very high. Does anyone have any ideas?" "Compensation!" Exec: "No, I mean, maybe pizza every Friday, or a team outing or something?"
It sounds like voice acting. And not particularly good voice acting. Too clear, a bit too bombastic, and as if reading from a script. At least the two that I briefly listened to.
