Deestan,

There already are a lot of laws covering that. This one is to cover an additional angle where people create deepfake without provably publishing it, the intent being that showing it to friends and verbally threatening to “leak” them should be easier to prosecute.

If you create a deepfake and share it, you’re slapped with two crimes.

Deestan,

Is caricature illegal, by this standard?

No.

The official government announcement is linked in the article btw.

Deestan,

-We offer a competitive salary.

-Places X, Y and Z offer much more.

-We don’t compete with them.

Stupidly enough - not satire. I’ve had this conversation with three different companies. They struggle to attract talent for some weird reason.

Deestan,

A capitalist company with a CEO earning what CEOs earn, and a board of directors maximizing profit, does not get to shame me for wanting to get paid as much as I can.

Deestan,

True. But also I get paid more by taking my employment elsewhere. So win?win? I guess.

Deestan,

One of them was my current employer when I was arguing about not managing to keep people on my team.

And I said exactly that, except didn’t walk out naturally. In another frustrated discussion I almost yelled “You can’t CHOOSE not to compete with them!”

Deestan,

When in doubt, or fed up, I just go hard on “no subtext”.

There is a limit to how much I allow people to demand I decode their words for things they are not willing to say out loud.

Deestan,

Exactly. Not only does it take a lot of energy, but getting it wrong and reading subtext where there is none causes unpleasant and confusing situations. Missing subtext, at worst, causes mild frustration.

Deestan,

Yeah, probably closer to my intent. To me, “demanding” isn’t a heavy and loaded word implying evil intent.

Deestan,

It’s a fascinating field! Simplified: Make a machine that it is impossible to guess the likely outcome of with odds larger than 50/50.

We are talking any tiny advantageous guess here. If I predict 50/50 that a coin will go heads up, slight imbalances will cause it to go heads on average 51 times out of 100 tosses. Play for a dollar a million times, and I’m rich.

And if I know roughly how you will toss the coin, I can improve my prediction another tiny amount by knowing which side was up when you lift it up to toss it.

The field is about making a process that successfuly hides information so I can’t know what state the internal workings of the coin tosser is at any time. It has huge overlap with cryptography.

Deestan,

Pros and cons of getting a job at a very small software company? (14 employees)

I have the opportunity to maybe get a job as a software developer at a small software company that employs 14 people. But my gut is telling me that getting a job at a small company like that might he terrible. Do you guys have any experiences working at companies that small?...

Deestan,

Whether the culture is good or bad is not strongly indicated by the size. You’ll get a good feel by meeting them. Prepare some questions on turnover and overtime use. You want both low.

You will have to do work that in a bigger company would be specialist work. Some possible examples: Maintain infrastructure, drag network cables, purchase your computer, negotiate with service providers, software architecture, UX, product strategy, frontend, backend, integrations, customer support, QA, fix the printer, argue with the landlord about ventilation, etc. All this could be heaven or hell based on your personality. :)

Gen Z ruining luxury car market by splurging on housing and basic nutrition

Deestan,

See, ladies? You don’t have to shave your ear hairs. Just grow 'em long and blend them in with the rest.

Deestan, (edited )

Hes a r/iamverysmart dude attempting the socratic method (which is a legit teaching method for one-to-one tutoring) on a fucking group of people. Setting aside the base assumption that he just has some great Understanding that we don’t and can’t comprehend if told directly, you can only really do it on one single person if you have a good understanding of what their current mental model is.

Scott Adams tried it in his book, with the self-insert Avatar character. It was hilariously sad.

Pretentious bullshitter not seeking answers to questions plz ban.

Deestan,

Whichever revelation you’ve had that you are dying to “teach” everyone, it’s easier if you just state it directly.

I guarantee you it’s not as reality-shattering as you think it is. Whatever it is, we have seen or thought it and multiple variations of it before.

Let it out, maybe you get some interesting insights to learn from instead of this. It’s just silly.

Deestan,

Dunno about the deal with the man in front, but feels like their getup can be reused soon for the Eurovision kicking off.

Deestan,

Paul of LoadingReadyRun made an entire channel out of that just to see how it worked out: youtube.com/

Deestan,

We need more like her who take the threat as a threat and act like it’s a threat.

Being “serious” or calm about it is not working, and catastrophically so.

Deestan,

My goodness! Didn’t we have one of those just last week? Truly, the cosmos spoils us, dear Blåhaj.

Deestan,

All of these have been pretty open about “what’s up”. If you know about them, you already have the answer.

This is JAQ propaganda. Not a genuine question.

Deestan,

You have answers here.

Engaging with them instead of balking at pushback and repeating your question is a good way to convince people you are not concern trolling, jaq-ing or sealioning.
