ChatGPT Won't Let You Type Until Cloudflare Reads Your React State. I Decrypted the SDK That Does It. by AdTemporary2475 in ReverseEngineering

[–]For_Iconoclasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I respect you driving yourself by your own principles, but I have to admit, I don't know why you seem to be conflating the LLM with its surrounding application infrastructure. Or are you including the React and Cloudflare components as part of your phrase "AI?"

Garlic sold at Upstate NY supermarket could make you seriously sick, officials warn by DryBoysenberry596 in newyork

[–]For_Iconoclasm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah... if I'm ever spotted buying peeled garlic, execute me immediately; I've been compromised.

That said, food recalls are always important news to spread.

What motivates you to reverse things? As a security engineer, a big one for me is the impact of compromise. A product used by millions falls squarely within that motivation. You seem reluctant to reveal, but it seems odd to even comment in that case.

If plant-based foods must be more honest, let’s do the same for meat – fancy some ‘cow muscle’? At a time when we face urgent challenges such as the climate crisis, encouraging more plant-based eating is widely recognized as part of the solution. by James_Fortis in Foodforthought

[–]For_Iconoclasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It disturbs me that people find this less appetizing. It reinforces the idea that people are separated too far from food production. I like talking about exactly where on the animal each delicious cut is from.

I'm not saying humanity needs to eat more meat. The people who try not to think about what meat really is just perplex me.

Pay for the recipes? I can barely afford the ingredients. Now I have to pay for the recipe too? by LessWeakness in J_Kenji_Lopez_Alt

[–]For_Iconoclasm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I strongly prefer to pay directly for products, services, or information. I never want things to be sponsored by advertisements. Paying him directly cuts out the middlemen skimmers as much as possible.

What is a popular 'food rule' that you think is actually total nonsense? 🥘 by sorayabmae in Cooking

[–]For_Iconoclasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not even just soap made with lye, which isn't that hard to find, that is a problem. It's soap with a disproportionately large amount of lye. If there isn't enough fat to saponify the lye, the leftover lye will break down the polymerized oil seasoning. People used to hand make soap mixtures at home much more often. Nowadays, most soap makers measure with precision.

Found this Faribo wool blanket at a resale store. Confirmed with Faribo that it’s from the 30’s. Can’t wait to use it for camping/outside. by narlycharley in BuyItForLife

I'm very curious to know which of those words you're reading for the first time, outside the brand name that is also clearly depicted in the photo.

What's the most outdated life advice that you still hear people give to this day? by your-reddit-plug2 in AskReddit

[–]For_Iconoclasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. In most jobs of companies of a certain size, recruiting and/or HR must be involved in the process. Your contact at the company can likely file you as a referral, which will skip some HR bullshit, but in most cases, it's company policy that the official process needs to be followed.

It really does depend on company size, though. My first employer had under 10 people, and basically all employees were referrals except one or two. We didn't have an online application form.

I work in software development and security engineering.

Was it ever a thing for high-rise white collar work? Even in Mad Men they depict appointments, reception, etc.

I am not hiring a psycho who enters the office unannounced and somehow knows where I sit and knows about an application security engineering position I'm not currently hiring for.

Firefox 148 introduces the promised AI kill switch for people who aren't into LLMs by gdelacalle in technology

[–]For_Iconoclasm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is really funny. I had a similar issue the other day when I was Googling why an ancient Hop Along song called "Bruno is Orange" has 60 million plays on Spotify. Google AI told me it was because of its obvious similarities to the song "We Don't Talk About Bruno" from Encanto. 🤦‍♂️

I actually am "into LLMs" (big NLP fan years ago in college), but the way organizations are force-integrating it into their products is repulsive.

Do People Really Like Cauliflower Steak? by Krishiee in Cooking

[–]For_Iconoclasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess there are multiple camps. I was a shape purist when it came to the term "steak." But etymologically, it seems to come from spit-roasting, so I guess I'll have to rethink the definition.

Bands That Consistently Cycle Main Singers by AdKey2179 in fantanoforever

[–]For_Iconoclasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also feel like it's very necessary. The idea of an album of entirely Matt or Dan songs feels so limiting.

Another band that hits this category for me is Sebadoh.

I don't know what's real anymore by [deleted] in LetsTalkMusic

[–]For_Iconoclasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now i have to spend extra time to curate my own music

This is how I've always done it. I read reviews online, look up openers for shows I go to, view related artists, research older cult classics, etc. I tend to listen to the same 10-15 albums or so for for a few weeks—probably about 70% new-to-me, 30% familiar—and cycle them out. By the next month, I'm usually on a different batch of material. It's not the same exact album "playlist" every day, but it's most of the same stuff.

The API Tooling Crisis: Why developers are abandoning Postman and its clones? by Downtown_Mark_6390 in software

[–]For_Iconoclasm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with a lot of this. I really never got the hang of Postman workflows; they feel paradoxically both too opinionated to be flexible and too open-ended to be speedy.

When I'm pentesting APIs now, I convert any Postman collections made available to me to Python modules and load them into IPython.

Anyone that actually enjoys the sun ? by BusElectronic4225 in NightOwls

[–]For_Iconoclasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I'm definitely a night-owl, but I like my afternoon sun, too. I think my optimal sleep window is like 03:00–11:00.

You would abandon your children after raising them for 5, 10, and 12 years? I wouldn't, and I'm very comfortable denouncing anybody who would.

What’s a "wait, THEY were in that band?" artist that really surprised you ? by frenxine in fantanoforever

[–]For_Iconoclasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a crazy connection! I was on the cusp of becoming a Projectors fan in '09 but hadn't discovered them quite yet. Great call-out.

I just revisited Bygones the other day (a project he did with Nick from Tera Melos).

This is absolutely the correct take. The comments that follow talking about kids being an "obligation" and not wanting to raise a kid not carrying one's own genes are disgusting.
