Who in Berlin can I hand a docker-compose file and some money and they run the result in a C5 certified environment?
I wonder how much of the whole "LLMs are conscious and we should be nice to them" sentiment is the result of autistic object personification.
like, as an autistic person, I have trouble being mean to anything with eyes and a mouth on it, even if it's just a silly drawing on a piece of scrap paper that my partner did. and if the inanimate thing has the appearance of talking back to me, I can't even bear to see it come to harm.
and like, I can recognize on some logical level that these are just things, that they don't have feelings, and that it's okay to be mean to something that cannot possibly feel hurt or pained. but that doesn't stop it from being real in my head.
I wonder if there is a way to change the music in teams based on who calls you. For, a friend, you know 😂

When AI systems produce outputs without attribution, important context can be lost. Information with no indication of where it came from makes it difficult to trust, check accuracy, and credit the people whose work made it possible.
Read our new issue brief for a primer on the challenges and opportunities of incorporating attribution into AI outputs.
okay so here's an analogy that might help mod foo { ... } fn bar() { ... } fn baz() { ... } you'd probably expect bar to be able to call baz, right? even though it's not pub? same thing, it can also see that foo exists. but that doesn't mean you get automatic access to what's inside

pls pick what i should do next!! i can’t decide!!
RE: https://stefanbohacek.online/@stefan/116257411374685567
Um… Is raising $100 million in Series B funding and then just… not telling anybody about it for a year a thing that happens? Because at least in my experience, that's not a thing that happens.
It seems like a pretty big red flag when a company raises $100 million and then decides they shouldn't tell anybody about it for a year.
No?

systemd stores the user's birth date for age verification.
userdb: add birthDate field to JSON user records https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/40954
Why is systemd is dealing with age verification stuff and implementing it in the worst way possible?
(OK. "systemd" explains the implementation question)
(this conversation is so useful because like, this is genuinely a part of rust people find confusing. your experience is very normal. but i'm so deep in i don't find it confusing anymore, and so it's good to be exposed to how it can be, hah :) )

Max hates other cats
He hates them coming into his territory, gets upset when he sees one out the window
So when we rescued Molly, we introduced them SLOWLY
First 2 weeks, she was in her own room. We put things that smelled of her in his favourite places
Then we let them eat treats on either side of a doorway covered with a scarf. They saw each other briefly
Then short times together, slowly getting longer
It worked. Now he tolerates her
And she LOVES him

I think I need to put into my talk this line that keeps running through my head
So many leaders want people to trust them, which is exactly backwards
In organizations, positions are typically appointed through the hierarchy and authority of the organization. However, like trust, "leadership" is earned: slowly built and quickly lost.
Asking how to earn trust means admitting you have failed, and more importantly means committing to a change. If you don't uphold those changed behaviors, you will simply lose trust again and consequently fail as a leader no matter how the organization helps you fail upwards.

"private from its parents" means more like, "the parent cannot access the child's internal items" rather than "the parent cannot see the child exists"
[Judges you in Catte]
I'll have what he's havin
it's subtle. child modules can be named by their parents, but that doesn't mean their contents are. so they're 'private' in one sense, but not the other.
okay yeah so this is basically a wording issue in the sense that you can read it two ways another way to put it is like, it's kind of like folders. if a folder is locked, you can see the folder exist, even if you can't read the contents. and then if those contents are made public, now you can.
