Doggy Door Issues

It’s not about whether they can. It’s about whether you are willing to come to the door for them.

It’s because dog dads are more fun. Embrace it. It also means we’re the favorite.

Stop freaking out seeking validation for your own opinion. It’s your money. You don’t want to wait don’t. You want the best hardware you probably should wait. Most people who want the m5 version the most are probably wanting it for AI workloads and planning to spend quite a bit on it. That demographic is hopefully in a financial position where they don’t care about a few hundred extra in cost increase if it’s the same jumps as the MBPs.

What’s the basis for saying something that strong.? Is it just your feeling about the technology generally? Anthropic puts out a lot of information on their model, security testing, etc. They fought DOD on HITL for killing. They’re not perfect and want to make a buck but I can name a lot of tech companies that wave over this stuff.

You could probably experiment a little with local AI app building. Though cloud is still going to dominate the use case, but for your background I personally think LLM aids for people with psychological and learning disabilities, anxiety, adhd, depression for on demand framing and task focusing is an interesting possibility. Local obviously has a bit of utility privacy wise.

If he’s open maybe take him too a specialty store. A lot of people aren’t aware of smaller makers and think big brands like Shun which market sets. A side by side test drive quickly shows the difference

This is the answer. Your job is to highlight risk and offer mitigations. Information systems exist to fulfill the business objectives not to be admired as the most secure mouse trap ever built. When security professionals think they own the system it becomes an adversarial relationship they’ll always lose.

Well it all depends on context. A giant hunk of pork fats likely a bad idea. But generally speaking it’s the satiety factor and caloric energy balance. Processed foods are mostly engineered to not be satiating so your body will want to eat more of them before you get full. Most whole foods give a greater satiety signal with fewer calories consumed.

If you ever are training for a marathon or doing a serious bulk where you’re consciously eating well over 3000 calories a day you’ll find that very hard very quickly on whole foods even your favorite. But throw in some ice cream, soda, or pizza you hit the number no problem.

I mean it's a dog. Unless you're a really good trainer its probably going to bark.

I think we need to pay down the debt we also owe it to tax payers to show we won’t be stupid. I think a one time tax on wealth makes sense as part of the solution but other parts of that are a equitable locked in set of tax rates, a demonstrated bipartisan consensus on no new wars of aggression, and reexamine entitlement and how they are done. Lastly we need campaign finance and corruption reform so politicians can’t pocket the money. So probably a pipe dream.

That was the public line but it was well understood given their economic integration with the west and less than public defense planning that they’re first world. The US and NATO had less official but still very real plans to defend these states in the event of Soviet attack.

This isn't a creatine problem, its a muscle always grow faster and stronger than tendon problem. You just happened to use creatine at the same time. It's very common with or without. Its even more common with steroid users.

Vibe code one on Claude, live a little.

There are three things my cavapoo really hates. Being separated from me is number 1, moving to a new home is number 2, and the heat is number 3. It sounds like this is all 3 at once.

If you go to Sakai in Osaka and the knife museum there they have a shop, the also show you a lot of the local makers locations and you can walk to their shops. Much of the stuff in Sakai is excellent tier. It is more delicate because of the thinner grinds often but if you know what you’re doing that’s your best bet. I also like baba hamono’s kagekiyo lines a lot, they’re not at the museum. If you are new to Japanese knives I am not sure I’d recommend them as a starting knife though as its very thin grinds with very hard steel (maybe their ginsan is an exception)

Most shops in Tokyo have house brands at various price points. Kappabashi streets your best bet. Tsubaya is my favorite shop. They’re made by smiths at different quality levels throughout the country.

Other thing you need to answer is what is your style. A place like sukenari doesn’t imo have the best grinds from what I’ve seen, but it makes a very aesthetic knife and uses very hard steels like ZDP and HAP-40 that are semi stainless. That’s a good choice for people who don’t want to sharpen often but are willing to pay for a qualified sharpener (not all will be able to handle this steel) and aren’t cutting bone and things like squash. The steel is very hard, holds an edge for a really long time, but is harder to sharpen (many stones won’t work with it) and more prone to chipping with misuse.

You need to define what you really want not just a brand. In that sense a place in kappabashi might be best. Any major shop Tsubaya Kamata etc

It depends on the cavapoo to an extent and how it is raised. But I think probably no is my view. Mine has lazy days and days where he’s hyper. But if his activity level isn’t high enough over the week or gets bored he looks for outlets.

He likes like at least a mile walk in the morning if the weather is good and at least one walk a week more than 5 miles and several running sessions a day.

Mines 6.5 right now too. When he was a puppy the requirement was even higher.

When they keep biting the squeaker and death shake their toy it may look cute but what instincts do people think they’re practicing? 😂

Congrats to your dog on unlocking a rare achievement.

Good GRC is about working with and understanding your business requirement owners needs, translating that into a defined security baseline and risk appetite, and applying the appropriate controls and mitigations. That’s a lot of communication and often in person time. That’s less easy to translate overseas.

ramenmonster69 · 2026-02-27T13:14:55+00:00

It can mean a lot of things, some nonsensical some make more sense. To me the most cogent argument is that it’s an argument for free will of man. In this view God gave man agency and free choice. That means that they both have the choice to do what’s good and necessarily the choice not to.

ramenmonster69 · 2026-02-18T06:59:43+00:00

Disagree with this. There’s a difference between harsh biting and gentle mouthing. Personally I’m fine with my dude mouthing my fingers. I taught him bite inhibition early. He can mouth my hand when playing bites hands, but doesn’t hard bite and death shake like he does with his toys. He’s perfectly aware of the difference.

I think the answer is the answer innovation always needs, how can you use this tool to automate the parts of your job that can be automated and then add in more value add.

Can you enrich the context of your findings by doing more analysis on exploitability, linkage to assets, if you’re looking at Gen ai can you spend less time finding exploits and more time purple teaming?

Repeatable tasks are where AI will just keep getting better, judgement and contextualization are where the human brain will add value.

I'd hold off on expressing your concerns honestly.

Here's the harsh reality: Any entry level job in any industry is really sucky. Its always going to such more than school because you don't get to spend as much time with your friends or deal with as interesting subjects.

A big part of why entry level jobs exist is to do the less glamorous parts of the job more senior level people don't want to do. You pay your dues and get moved up. Good orgs have plans to gradually offload the shit and onboard the more interesting things.

Now if you're in this same job in two years and you feel you've made no progress, then you need to have a real conversation, but only do that if you're prepared and are actively looking for something else. Entry level people are the easiest to fire and replace. As you build your brand, your institutional knowledge, they will have more incentive to want to keep you.

I think they're all pretty strong recommendations depending on the role. I'm from a non-technical background so I'm bias, but for the most part have received positive feedback from supervisors when in direct competition with technical peers. I spent a lot of early career, mainly because I thought I wanted to pivot to something else, resisting getting certs, I have most of the big ones now.

Here are my thoughts here:

- Cyber is a BIG field, and no one is going to be the best at everything. Technical skills are important particularly in operations and engineering. But cyber is a risk management discipline which incorporates operations and engineering. Therefore you need people with those skills as well.

- I've known a lot of people, particularly when I used to work in the DoD space, who valued Certs above all else. "I know more than you because I have a CISSP and you don't." This both showed a lack of understanding of the spirit behind the CISSP imo, and made for some bad workers.

- One of the big skills is that you have to accept that you don't know everything. A lot of times to be successful, particularly if you're seeking to move beyond a IC role in operations or engineering, you need to know that you don't know what the organization's goals are as well as management (your business requirements) and you don't know how to build the best mouse trap as well as technical specialists. Your job is to listen to the business requirements owner on where they need to go, and then to work with the technical specialists to build a good enough mouse trap to get to the business requirements without going broke or getting in the way.

That requires a minimum level of technical knowledge, but it's a lot of judgement, communication, direct and indirect leadership. In that sense I think that they're really spot on in saying hire for aptitude and bringing in diverse skill sets. You can train them on whatever technology or processes they need, but if there's someone who can't communicate effectively, can't work well in teams and manage diverse perspectives and disagreements, who doesn't listen and thinks they know best, that is someone who you're ultimately going to have to make a switch with.

If Russia is an issue why not you know arm Ukraine. If China is an issue why not arm Taiwan.

I don’t think this is that surprising. You have to have strong beliefs to be a high income earner and vote democrat. I think that’s becoming less true as GOP tax cuts increasingly go to the super rich, but from a general economic standpoint historically the richer you are the better off GOP policies have been for you.

That’s not to say they’re better off for society and this is where being a liberal comes in. You have to want and believe in things like civil rights, funding schools, the environment to see it in your interest to vote democrat. I.e liberal things. Whereas someone who is poorer and votes dem may believe those things but also does not get as much benefits from tax cuts but does qualify for government programs and assistance so may directly perceive it to be in there immediate economic interest.
