getting the robot to golf my resume PDF into as few bytes as possible

big wall of screenshot text from the LLM coding harness, describing what it stripped out of the PDF, then its explanation that the contents plus embedded font are ~8.5KB and we can't get much smaller without degrading the font, to which i reply

"degrading the font... tell me more 🫦"

afterwards, the bot is Thinking

fortunately, scheduled password changes go against the most recent NIST guidance: pages.nist.gov/800-63-4/sp8... "Verifiers and CSPs SHALL NOT require subscribers to change passwords periodically." if someone says you have to anyway, just use this heavy standards document to beat them to death

career advice: do you ever spend an hour on something at work, do an incredible job, and find yourself thinking "damn, they should be paying me three times what they do"? when this happens, it's best to go take a two-hour nap on the clock. treat yourself

this new type of guy can present a formidable opponent on the battlefield of ideas, due to the sheer magnitude of the misplaced dunning-kruger confidence lent to him by his artificially intelligent sparring partner

there's no technical difference between "MS yields keys for CSAM warrant" and "MS yields keys of political activist" the issue is not whether there's a good reason to hand over keys. the issue is that MS having your keys means they decide what makes a good reason rule of law will not keep you safe

it is the weekly computer security meetup at CTRL-H... so yes, it's about those things. actual exploitation does sometimes occur, but think more "santa's workshop" than "conference workshop": it's pretty chill and unstructured. but don't listen to me, you should come hang out and see for yourself! 🖤
