The scary part about Anthorpic's Fable nerf is not that it refuses to answer biology or cryptography. It's that it foreshadows what's coming. A world where a couple companies decide what you can and cannot do. They're building a new ruling class and you're not in it...

@ausnotes @SpachusAus Nothing much, and that’s perfectly fine. They get to negotiate once a year. Now if you pay a mortgage you are exposed to more frequent hikes.

@SpachusAus Renting has never been so favourable. Buying is a luxury, and access to shelter is a right.

The property market isn’t dysfunctional and the government should stay away from trying to regulate it.

My most unhinged run-in with HR was while working at a biotech company as a senior scientist, a long time ago.

They were doing racism audits, and me being an Asian, they targeted me in an inquisition-style interrogation. In essence, it was about 30 minutes of them... Gen Z women with a chip on their shoulders, trying to make me say that I experienced racism at the company.

It was them framing every little comment, quip, joke, and conversation that my 'white' coworkers had with me into some sort of racist dog whistle. They wanted me to "out" my work friends as "racists" so that HR could crucify them. I knew they were recording the whole time, so I had to be very careful with my words.

I kept my answers brutally short, usually with a single-word answer of "no", or that lacks context, or that's a misframing.

They were literally trying to manufacture problems to go after people to justify their existence. They were trying to goad me, to extract the "right" answers from me that I refused to play their stupid game.

After the interview was over, and after their little racism witch hunt didn't work, they moved on to other targets, other minorities, other stupid problems no one cared about.

CEOs entering the agentic era:

step 1: announce layoffs
step 2: call it the future of work
step 3: publish 4,000 words on 100x humans

Fork your dependencies, trim them to only your use case, never update unless it breaks for your users. I’ve been vocal about this for 10+ years. I’ve always said that updating is way riskier than latent bugs (which can be tracked and CVEs monitored).

If you are updating a dependency, it’s on you to analyze every single commit in the full transitive set of dependencies. If you dont see anything compelling, dont update!

I remember at HashiCorp once in awhile an engineer would try to update a dep or replace a DIY lib with an external one and id always ask “show me the commit we need.” Dont update for the sake of it.

Feeling pretty swell about this mentality with all the supply chain attacks happening.

@Sarah_Haar_ @Harry197159 Context matters. This is not about tax. This is about a government that puts a burden on its society to preserve the debt cycling that is getting out of hand.

Do you really believe our taxes are being channeled productively?

[Fer 🇦🇺🧉 @ferparra]

@Sarah_Haar_ Yes, but capital gains is now higher compared to other countries which in turn is a desincentive for those who can re-invest their wealth in the country through private job creation.

Everyone loses, including yourself.

[Fer 🇦🇺🧉 @ferparra]

@mr_james_c @DrCameronMurray Who’s going to build them? The ones that can effectively sell on the idea of wealth generation. At the very least you need to guarantee some level of capital preservation for incentives to work for all parties.
