Well he specified static website, which rules out WP, but yes. If your host accepts posts (in the generic sense, not necessarily specifically the http verb POST) that raises tons of other questions, that frankly were already well addressed when I made my post.

DDoS and hacking are like taxes: you should be so lucky as to have to worry about them, because that means you’re wildly successful. Worry about getting there first because that’s the hard part.

New study: my shock and surprise measured by a single slow blink.

The way I’ve dealt with this before is reference the ticket number in the commit message. Now the only tickets you ever need to review are the ones relevant to the element in question, and only those creating or modifying that particular property, which should be evident in your commit log.

You don’t specify a language but I’d assume that is the footer definition/html and any scripts or styles invoked by it.

But once you have an answer, it would be wise to document it in confluence somewhere, even if it’s something like “Footer green per request from Director, Mr. Smith” or “Footer color: arbitrary, green to differentiate profile pages. Verify changes with Director.”

How to organize the documentation so that it isn’t difficult to navigate is another difficult question that is more art than science - one which has never been satisfactorily solved anywhere I’ve worked once complexity reaches a certain point, but I leave that exercise to the reader.

Us yanks aren’t all for anything. I’ve certainly become quite disillusioned about the free market over the past 40 years or so.

But in fact, free market principles suggest we would have tipless alternatives where workers make fair wages and the market could decide to reward those businesses or not. We do not have such alternatives and the market has failed us before the question is even properly posed.

Let’s take a page from the code reviewers handbook:

[] Yah [] Nah

I assume anything coming out of a Musk company is a lie unless I see it with my own eyes. And then I see an optometrist.

ChatGPT says 1-5%, but I told it to give me nothing but a percentage and it gave me a couple of paragraphs like a kid trying to distract from the answer by surrounding it with bullshit. I think it’s onto us…

(I kid. I attribute no sentience or intelligence to ChatGPT.)

even to the point of some phones not even turning off Wi-Fi when airplane mode is turned on

I didn’t know that part (the rest yes). So much for using airplane mode to conserve battery. I suppose it’s the tower handshake that is most energy hungry in my experience.

both wireless protocols can be activated and deactivated independently

100% although my comment was in the context of people who don’t really understand Bluetooth at all.

+1 for the rest, thanks.

Cheap Bluetooth might have connection hitches and, to my knowledge, Bluetooth doesn’t work with airplane mode although I think most airplanes these days aren’t actually affected or we’d have planes dropping out if the sky daily.

Also, does Bluetooth get saturated the way WiFi does? That, I don’t know, but an airplane full of 100 people all on Bluetooth might create some noise issues that would hurt the performance.

Apple sort of shot themselves in the foot here with removing the headphone jack if they had any interest in this issue.

I have a Samsung fridge I’m happy with but I specifically avoided the in-door water/ice dispenser because I’ve heard awful things about them.

I thought it was just an ad aggregator.

I’ve always wanted to do this sort of thing, but lack the math and research background to do a good job of it. Glad someone is working on it.

I don’t think Elon Musk has demonstrated the good judgement

Understatement of the century right here.

60-70% seems nuts to me. 10%-20% feels about right to me. That’s a day every week or two. Builds cohesion and lets you do some effective brainstorming sessions, and then the rest of the time you do actual work far more efficiently. I mean you do you, but I thought I was suffering from lack of office time, but that’s way too far in the other direction for me.

It’s been 5 years and 3 jobs since I’ve been to an office. My last job I honestly don’t even know what state my job was based out of. That’s a little too disconnected. But just a little.

Well that’s the carrot part of the carrot and stick, but since they’ve invaded I’m not sure what they are going to hold it out for.

I’m a very private person. I barely use any social media where I’m not anonymous, and I wouldn’t want my wife to be famous either. So take this with a grain of salt, but I think it’s about winning the trophy. A million people like this person well enough to watch their content all the time, but they are with you? I can imagine that would be flattering to a certain kind of personality.

Being popular sounds wretched to me, but people chase it all the time.

I didn’t have any links at hand so I googled and found this academic paper. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.20151.pdf

Here’s a video summarizing that paper by the authors if that’s more digestible for you: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OU2L7MEqNK0

I don’t know who is doing it or if it’s even on any publicly available systems, so I can’t speak to that or easily find that information.

There are already bots that use something like 5 specialist bots and have them sort of vote on the response to generate a single, better output.

The excessive prompting is a necessity to override the strong bias towards certain kinds of results. I wrote a dungeon master AI for Discord (currently private and in development with no immediate plans to change that) and we use prompts very much like this one because OpenAI really doesn’t want to describe the actions of evil characters, nor does it want to describe violence.

It’s prohibitively expensive to create a custom AI, but these prompts can be written and refined by a single person over a few hours.

Agreed, although I wonder how much further ahead state actors are compared to common knowledge. Standard encryption will be broken before most of us are aware, I think.
