Dev rejects CVE severity, makes his GitHub repo read-only
  • The library hadn't had any updates in 2 years before this. Clearly it wasn't maintained. If you're a user and bothered by this super edge case "vulnerability", fork it and take on the responsibility yourself.

  • How is everyone handling the 2FA requirement for GitHub?
  • 2FAS is open source and doesn't have a cloud presence to store data. You can use it to add 2FA to your other services as well.

  • Squarespace to Go Private in $6.9B All-Cash Transaction with Permira
  • I switched all my domains to Porkbun. No way I'm hanging out in Squarespace land.

  • Men and women are less likely to die when treated by female doctors, study suggests
  • Both female and male patients had a lower patient mortality when treated by female physicians; however, the benefit of receiving care from female physicians was larger for female patients than for male patients.

    Of note, the study was conducted on 800k senior citizens.

    The findings may not be generalizable to younger populations.

  • AI Could Soon Replace Entry-Level Wall Street Analysts
  • Again, you're putting words in my mouth. I'm done engaging with you as I don't think you're conversing in good faith.

  • AI Could Soon Replace Entry-Level Wall Street Analysts
  • No one said anything is beneath senior employees.

    It's a lost opportunity when you, a staff engineer, spend your time doing something that a junior engineer could do -- instead of doing a task a junior engineer can't do.

  • AI Could Soon Replace Entry-Level Wall Street Analysts
  • It's faulty, short-sighted logic though. If every company trained juniors, only for them to jump ship in two years, there'd be a pool of trained juniors to hire from. Yes you wouldn't get your investment out of that particular person, but you'd be hiring someone else's investment.

    Beyond that, there's work that is better suited to more junior employees because it's literally a waste of the senior employees' skills.

  • AI Could Soon Replace Entry-Level Wall Street Analysts
  • Too many industries are shitting on entry level employees now.. They're easy targets for layoffs and easy targets for AI, apparently. Now they're already complaining about the lack of quality talent.

    The Great Resignation is effectively over. We’re now in the Great Talent Stagnation, where employers’ biggest concern is the lack of qualified applicants

    If you don't invest in the next set of entry-level employees, you won't have the next set of qualified employees.

  • Angry Robot launches open submission period with AI... and quickly reverses course due to community blowback
  • AI and LLM have earned a bad reputation in creative circles because of the push to eliminate creative jobs. Companies that want to build tools for creative communities should know this and not lean on AI-hype marketing.

    That being said, in my opinion, Storywise looks fishy as heck. It's probably a few tech bros using Azure's DIY GPT. They pinky promise not to use your manuscripts in training data, but there's no contact info on their website, including in the ToS. So when they inevitably break their promise or have a data breach, how do you sue them?

  • Am I missing it, or is there no way to organize the Drawer, either by folder or tab?

  • Facebook removed every post linking to Kansas Reflector’s website, apparently in response to an op-ed about Facebook's censorship of climate-related ads
  • So we're going to ban TikTok so China can't manipulate us, but continue to allow corporations to do the same.

  • George Carlin Estate Settles Lawsuit Over AI-Generated Comedy Special
  • What is missing is that the podcast originally claimed it was entirely written and generated by AI. They only changed the story when they were sued.

  • And I don't think any of their nude photos are appropriate for academic papers (unrelated to nudity research) either?

  • New Discord TOS binds you to forced arbitration - Opt-Out Now
  • Yeah. The arbitration section of the agreement specifically says it only applies to US residents.

  • Quest 1 becomes near-E-waste Apr 30
  • Your entire comment reads as a refute of OPs criticism and an excuse for Meta's actions. If you were agreeing with OPs criticism, you would typically use phrases like "only five years".

  • Quest 1 becomes near-E-waste Apr 30
  • And? Why take active steps to stop it from working instead of just stopping technical support? Oh yeah, to get more money.
