Okay maybe OR-- and just hear me out here-- Maybe the problem is not enough money in politics?

When they send over these time travelers, they’re not sending their best…

Lol why is Aqua Net hairspray specifically the thing that takes them down? Like other brands of hairspray don’t work? Spray paint or Elmer’s glue or maple syrup aren’t effective? You can’t just throw a bedsheet over them or hit them with a crowbar?

I didn’t actually realize that he didn’t say “metric fuckton” until I saw your comment and went back to reread it.

Well yes it needs to be inaugurated first, which will not happen until January.

Can we sync on that real quick? I think we can ideate on some quick wins for your allergy that’ll get you unblocked.

It’s just less visible/explicit. It’s still bad press when it gets noticed and called out like in this thread, it’s just sneakier.

Security implications?

People working with these technologies have known this for quite awhile. It’s nice of Apple’s researchers to formalize it, but nobody is really surprised-- Least of all the companies funnelling traincars of money into the LLM furnace.

Okay but how does starting a secure shell help?

What if I’m already pretty good at Python and C? :)

How do you learn? I have some ESP32s that I’ve messed around a little bit with, and done some neat stuff…But I don’t have an electronics background at all and I often have trouble even figuring out how to power the damn things safely.

I feel like you just shout things into the void and people give you points for agreeing with you.

Lol at first I thought this was a direct criticism of the person you were replying to.

Thanks for explaining. I still think “planning” is a weird way to think about what’s supposed to happen during standup-- It seems to me that the whole purpose of working in sprints (and the rituals that that typically entails) is to plan ahead so that during the week you can execute on well-groomed, properly-scoped work. Of course when you notice something is wrong, or needs to be reconsidered, you might need to pull the brakes and realign mid-sprint, but my sense is that if you’re doing planning every day, that might mean that your work isn’t groomed well enough beforehand, or you’re not locking in important decisions during sprint planning.

But it might depend on the work, and it might depend on what you mean by “planning.” If your planning just looks like “Hey are you free to pair on issue 123 this afternoon? Okay sweet, I’ll throw a meeting in your calendar,” then yeah sure-- I wouldn’t use the word “planning” for that, but it’s not crazy to. Or maybe the work is different than my work, and actually does warrant some amount of day-level of planning that wouldn’t make sense for teams I’ve been on. I’m open to that, too.

(Btw I tried to look up this “planning planning feedback feedback cycle” thing and the only search results I got were THIS LEMMY THREAD, lol… Cool to see Lemmy show up in search results)

Yeah it’s bad news when the title has to parenthetically clue you in that it’s popular, lol.

Err… Is your team doing planning during standup? I’ve never heard of that, from either people who are on teams that use standups, or from any of the Agile/Scrum literature that I’ve seen. In my experience, standups are typically about either a) coordinating the execution of work that has already been committed to, or b) whoops just a status meeting and everybody’s tuned out.

In a narrow sense, it’s useful for like… e.g. location-based search…So of you search “cosmetic dentistry,” it’s useful to privilege results closer to you (or at least you could make that argument). But broadly, in practice, “personalization” is primarily optimized for the ad buyer or first-party company’s goals (e.g. engagement, click-through) as per phases 2 and 3 of the enshittification cycle… And we know what happens to secondary goals as systems become increasingly optimized.

So I’m not claiming that it can’t be los dos, and indeed in phase 1 it definitely is… I’m claiming that it isn’t los dos, in practice, at this moment in history.

Great question – Because the process of enshittification requires the subordination of the user’s interests to the interests of businesses (ad buyers, in Google’s case), which in turn will be subordinated to the interests of shareholders. In principle, it should be possible to balance los dos in a pro-consumer, non-cynical way, but in practice, more line go up. Line must go up. Enshittification optimizes for line go up.

Small typo: You spelled “ad buyer” wrong.

I generally agree with the idea that “stampede” is usually the wrong concept to describe these events, and probably the wrong approach to understanding them. Even in the Iroquois Theater case, I think if you eliminated the panic component, the death toll would have been significantly lower (maybe zero), but it still wasn’t really the same dynamics as a stampede.
