On the great list of human cruelties, someone not having their own house for themselves two years after graduation is really a special kind of horror.

Ironically, SELinux might be a pretty good tool to keep LLMs from accidentally getting the answers to their benchmark

Fair, there is no right or wrong. I certainly see the appeal, just not fully my cup of tea.

Hear me out: rubber bands. The kind you use to tie down things to your bike, or exercise. Might need some creativity in sourcing / manufacturing, but that would tick all your boxes, right?

I mean, we're all silly, in our own way.

In fairness, it is super hard to tie someone with zero wiggle room.

You can opt out of civility. Keeping a hand stretched out does not mean that the other hand shouldn't hold a stick, y'know, just in case. If that meme is based on something real, I hope you're doing ok, keep in mind that cowards like to hit you from behind and with others.

Weeeell... not being able to (freely) move in it is kind of the point. And the nice thing with tape is, you can almost always use more.

Maaan. That is me, with so many things. At least I'm moving in the right direction, or so I like to tell me.

No problem, you're welcome. I also paid a small car's worth of money to a fascist oligarch while borrowing the fruits of your work. I, too, am very happy with this.

But look at the bright side, you too can now pay a small car's worth of money to a fascist oligarch and then get some source code that may or may not be close to my proprietary stuff. You know, the one made from your stuff without attributing. This is fine.

It doesn't have to be libido alone, but someone aged 80+ might have lived large chunks of his live in a relationship, and is quite likely to be a widower. It makes sense that they are lonely and want what they had for a large part of their life.

I will now reuse your work without attribution and claim it is the AI's fault. Easy.

A few things that I haven't read here:

1. Everyone at work is stressed. Everyone wants to be somewhere else, but has to pay bills. Therefore, don't take it personal if people are angry, frustrated, snap at you or don't want to talk. Many of the people that come across as mean and unfriendly are nice and chill off the clock.

2. Likewise, accept if people keep their distance. Consider how much distance you want to keep, and how much you trust which coworker. Again, nothing personal, just the way people are. As someone said so nicely, often, politeness is more important than friendliness.

3. Shared suffering is bonding. "Sucks today, eh?" is a complete sentence and shows that you are on their team. Be careful around talking about specific people or talking politics. And if you do, start slowly. Feel out the other person first, and always consider how big the chance of them being a backstabbing bootlicker is, and how much damage they could do to you in that case. Don't be paranoid either, but don't blindly trust strangers.
