Just saw this, but most of the work that I do as an integrator involves planning out some kind of system-of-system and then executing. So we may have a task like displaying a manned ISR feed on some TV's that are side mounted to the wall of a helicopter (this is a simple but recent example). So...

Ever consider shifting to Systems Integrator in like Aerospace / Defense? You already have all the skills more than likely.

It's probably a wise decision not taking a job you know you wouldn't like... that being said my emergency plan for if I ever got laid off by surprise would be to take any job that pays me more than unemployment (and that shouldn't be hard) and then immediately start searching for a more long...

AI models are choking on junk data | Fortune - No one saw this coming

I've always used olt.com - it's ancient and janky but relatively clear to follow and I've never had to pay to file federal taxes. The state stuff is like $8 which is also the cheapest I've found. https://kb.olt.com/KB/articles/indiv_article_detail/schedule-c-2025-report-business-income-deductions

I'm a little worried that all of the chip makers are going to shift to making these AI tensor bullshit chips and good old fashioned general purpose computing is going to be hard(er) to come by. On the security topic, I've seen some wild stuff than can happen with model poisoning and other AI...

For the type of work that I do, I would definitely think I am hitting the ceiling on salary (tech companies included). The big pay raises would come from jumping to specific tech companies and probably involve taking a more managerial type role. I'm sure one day I'll go this direction but the...

I find myself valuing job satisfaction over money these days. Or at least that's what I am telling myself lol. I am 100% dead sure (not shooting for a weird brag here - I promise) I could probably get close to 100k annual more than what I make now, plus all of the stock wizbang shit. The...

Ironically, we've been doing this for a couple of years. You can add RAGs pretty quickly to your own LLM chatbots and create collections of documentation for it to reference. It's a poor mans enterprise search but it's been way better than anything we've had up until now. It obviously doesn't...

They probably have Nessus or something running a canned DNS attack surface scan. It can be a real vulnerability - i.e. you have a CNAME of company.com pointing to myshit.s3.amazon.com, but deleted the myshit bucket. Someone could theoretically take the "myshit" name and then your CNAME will...

Pretty much every big tech company is getting after this in some form or fashion. Microsoft is trying to sell us on their Purview product that they claim is like "zero trust for AI". With a buzzword salad like that, how could it not be good? I do try to maintain a little bit of hygiene with my...

I recently used Claude to replace an ugly shell script I've been maintaining for 5+ years that would configure XML for a java application that we have to run. I was using environment variables along with shell to do a bunch of regex against a default xml config that the app generates but...

For the past 5 or so years I've kept a running log of things I do in Task/Action/Result format. Even for meetings I use that format so that my impact (or lack there of) on attending can be quantified. Then I can copy/past these notes into all the Jiras, SharePoints, emails, and other BS I have...

When I was a kid my mom got Hep A and almost died. She spent a week in the hospital and didn't fully recover for like 2 months - which felt like a lifetime at 5 years old. The whole family had to get vaccinated of course once they diagnosed it.

Kratom leaf powder seemed to agree with my body for pain relief. I hope they ban the 7OH stuff, but not let the powder get swept up with it. I'd definitely use it again for pain relief over any prescription.

This comment seems out of place in response to RFK...

I did Kratom daily for over a year (several years ago now at this point) when I fucked my neck up and couldn't sleep without some kind of pain killer. Once that was over with I decided I liked it and just kept taking it. At some point I realized I was no longer getting much effect out of it and...

I would be worried that you're in a niche tech lead role and it's just going to be a middle manager role anywhere else (even though they'll say it's not). If you leave, I'd go back to firmware dev unless some people you trust can vouch for the tech lead role not being all meetings and bullshit...

Where can I get an EveeQrst t-shirt like that?

I would second the advice of searching LinkedIn but not applying through it. Go directly to the company website. Were you in a cleared gov type role? If so should be cake to find something. If not - I know gov contracting isn't anyone's first choice lol, but should be lots of opportunity in...

There used to be this smoking hot German project manager that worked in the dev office and I used to like to go in there just for some boner fuel later on. I think she liked talking to anyone that wasn't an autist. Anyway, there was a neckbeard dev who worked in there that used to fart it up and...

I'd fire him or conspire to have him fired. I can't stand unabashed farters. That's just embarrassing for everyone. You know everyone that walks by and smells that rank shit is looking around and postulating whos rancid asshole that came out of.

Another rousing round of original thought and philosophy regarding cheating in our favorite 26 year old game. How did it start this time... oh because a guy said "here's what I would like..." and everyone else said "No you wouldn't, you wouldn't like that!!! They aren't even the same crime...

Make really only makes sense for low level compiled code. The main purpose for it was to compare sources to decide what all it needed to compile and link. I.e. you change a .c file, you can probably just recompile that file and link where as you change a .h file, you likely have to recompile...

I do not have ADHD and messed around with Adderall and the anti-narcolepsy drug many years back. I can say that it did not make boring things interesting. So anything that I did not want to do, I still had to force my way through it. I personally found the anti-narcolepsy one better (I'm...

I've been doing cloud work for coming up on 10 years now - which is crazy to think it's actually been that long... From a conceptual standpoint, there's sort of three major archetypes you can find yourself in and those are dependent on the type of business your employer does to some degree...

If you were into rap in the 90s this was often sampled / quoted film. Warriors, come out and playyyy

I'm sure it's directly related to the amount of spend an org does on MS, but I've always had good luck. Their architects have been pretty great and our TAM (or whatever they are calling them these days) is always on top of quotes - even looking for ways to "save" money. Some of their more...

tl;dr - Gear is tertiary to strategy and leadership. It wasn't your fault when you were a bad healer. Big brain stuff, thank you for these gems.

The mental picture that I have is a doughy middle aged white guy trying to show off his dunks on a driveway hoop at his parents house that's been lowered all the way down. He's trying to get the attention of all the kids walking by and everyone is just calling him a retard - but in his mind he's...

I mostly use the LinkedIn skills and have taken a few test to get the green check boxes on them. I don't really put much in the actual resume part aside from job titles and dates. I've targeted all my connections so they're all past/ present coworkers along with some recruitment for actual...

I have a friend who's a director / c-suite type who's been out of work for like 15 months now. Some of it is undoubtedly him being picky, but still I worry about being in that box and not being able to jump into IC work whenever I want.

Maybe they want to make future expansions more open world driven? Only thing I can think of for FTE. Because I doubt they give any fucks about 1-5 races on TLPs and FTE wouldn't have a worthwhile effect on the instance heavy eras.

They've added a way to grief open world raiders... Fun?

I see them holding strong to "trying it" on Yeli first so probably won't get it on TLP 2023 launch. My guess is that this round will have the OoW unlock like Yeli and TLP 2024 will get it from day 1.

I don't think relaxed box will go in ahead of it being tested on Yelinak. I'd say the 2024 servers will include relaxed box though

I think a Mischief clone will happen for sure. The other one is hard to say, it seems like the smart thing to do would be another "event" server that gives you account wide cosmetics. But since that is the smart thing, it seems like DPG would not do that, and instead deploy an Aradune clone or...

That would be my guess. You can check to see if speed negotiation is hard set to 100m full or something, but if the hardware is only capable of 10/100 then you'll want to replace the router.
