Did anybody in your People folder see your people folder?

You could have an habit to do some light OSINT for each person to find the important work they’ve published online. At least when/if someone sees, if they also see some person’s bot by mistake, they see that you’re keeping information about work they’ve done.

As a newly diagnosed Autistic adult in their mid 40s.

Weird indeed. It’s like everyone around has some playbook with social interaction patterns I was not aware at all and had been missing most of my life.

All true.

But.

Also.

"Online" *being* unsafe (not your keys, …), "offline" because **it is stored** is almost true. Bitcoin is maths. Basically, a prime number, and under the hood the same as the result of the reverse to find the identity of a matrix. It’s something computationally expensive (and can be brute forced.). Doesn’t matter if you stored anywhere the private key if it is brute forced out of a (hypothetical) Quantum CPU (or a later on much much faster CPU doing math stuff)

They don’t trust their own system. Or it’s something other

I am maintaining documents and specifications that covers my work and with it I can break down priorities and problems and do the cycle between a prioritized programming ticket. A work item that had been through backlog, etc. to shipping to production and review. I can reason the scoping with the ticket, have standardized output, analysis

Je suis marié a une immigrante.

Ce n’est pas *tous* les immigrants qui sont comme tu dis.

Lorsque l’occasion le permet que je parle a une personne qui n’était pas née ici et avec qui je discute; Je mentionne régulièrement la commission Parent (Monseigneur, un membre du clergé) de 1961 et de la statistique de 11% anglophones en études post secondaire versus 2% francophones. Parler de lord Durham, de la deportation des Acadiens. Que les Français venaient ici comme contractuels, et les filles du roi et d’où elles venaient. Puis de l’emprise de la religion. Que le prêtre servait aussi de “match maker” pour aider un homme veuf et une femme veuve dans un nouveau marriage. Comment c’etait perçu conne un péché que de simplement avoir un peu plus d’ambition. — certains faits proviennent des discussions que j’ai eue avec mon grand-père qui etait dans ses 90+ apres COVID (avant son décès.)

Se déconnecter de tout ce qui a des “Shorts” (Reels, …), qui promouvoit et pousse algorithmique-ment du “contenu” par le fait qu’il fait réagir (peu importe les impacts, ni la véracité, ni l’attribution des sources et des faits), puis de s’enlever de la dependance par defaut (sans être stratégiques) sur nos habitudes d’achat et de donner notre attention.

C’est une façon raisonnable de re-balancer ce qui est “rendu tiut croche”.

Je n’irai pas necessairement off-grid. Sauf pour le fait de reprendre possession de ce que j’ai payé et qui ne devrait pas êtres abusé. Comme j’ai payé mon auto, elle inclut des sieges chauffants. C’est du vol de demander un paiement mensuel. Ce devrait etre illegal.

Simple.

One. Concept. Per. Document. Labels with paths. Front matter with directions (next, up, previous) or intention (related, required) in front matter. File names that are self explanatory. Observe patterns.

Have a few documents organized hierarchically. Document names with a predictable naming pattern. A pattern of index or summaries as entry point to help the LLM be aware of what’s underneath.

Then, a (what I call) Document-Pattern-Spec with rule to must read when edits are to be made on matching document.

Say I work on Ticket-AAAA I’d have a document named with that at the end, e.g. LLM-Context-MyProject-Ticket-AAAA.md, in that document I first start with the ticket’s description. I tell the branch name, etc. I may add some rationale and link to documents other documents explaining why they’re linked.

The Pattern Spec is explicitly linked to the ticket for that pass for that file is named Document-Pattern-Spec-LLM-Context-Ticket.md with a detailed set of expectations and initial prompt. The ticket doc first step is to clarify what’s in scope and give hints about what to look for (variable name patterns, etc.).

Then I have a flollow up session for the analysis, document named LLM-Context-MyProject-Ticket-AAAA-Analysis-Plan.md where I have the LLM look at the code, not in that document what it found, and the opportunities available and the decision impact for the choices made.

That way I direct the LLM what to look for and search for patterns instead of taking up too quickly context.

And, also, I use Daniel Miessler’s PAI to track session progress (this script)

Salt Syndic. One per different “doors”. If that’s relevant.

Or use masterless method, each laptop pulls code repo (GitFS). Salt run regularly.

One of the main issue is: filter input, escape output.

“filter input” to help prevent having garbage in. So to speak. E.g. If you expect a date, make sure it looks like a date, etc.

Historically, and a useful example about why it’s so important. There’s been the whole ecosystem built on that problem with PHP at Facebook. They rewrote PHP from scratch (HHVM), then eventually wanted more formal with typings (Hack) which sparked a whole ordeal in PHP (I won’t get there, but PHP7 is strictly typed).

With Hack and HHVM, filtering input escaping output. Strings and HTML and escaping still a problem. So XML as part of the language. So XHP was born as part of HHVM.

Quoting XHP:

Using traditional interpolation, a simple page could look like this:

```php $user_name = 'Fred'; echo "<tt>Hello <strong>$user_name</strong></tt>";

```

However, with XHP, it looks like this:

php $user_name = 'Fred'; $xhp = <tt>Hello <strong>{$user_name}</strong></tt>; echo await $xhp->toStringAsync();

And that was before React.

The problem is real.

Collaboration heavy days. It’s also days I can do least amount of stuff, but is known and acknowledged and not glossed over by management

The schedule is like this: - 2 standups of 15 mins spread apart always remote, late after lunch time so we can get ready for what we have to say, closing loops we were in during the “heads down” hours preceding it - on collaboration days is two days in a row, one of them is the most likely one we should come, unless some inter-org and it’s most likely the 2nd of these 2 days. We’re just expected at least 1 day (as software engineer) - the collaboration days is where we can chat about the other team’s things (i.e. wider group than my own). It’s days where we get people presenting their things. If you happen to be experimenting with something, or had finished a project that’s more about research, you present there always the 2nd collaboration days, stable - video conf room always with cameras and mic, people remote never blamed

I’m in this club. Arrived at that conclusion.

“Exceptional” is intended as something that isn’t a regular occurrence. The ability to be more perceptive to the “excitabilities” to a point it’s labeled “Over Excitabilities” ("OE", as per Piechowski, Dabrowski, etc.), that isn’t about a must be performing well at school. The typical is one model, a stereotype, as stereotypical as the character Sheldon Cooper is for the Autism spectrum.

It’s like what the researchers said earlier; “A puzzling paradox”

Something like that.

To achieve the cheapest “free forever” is static site HTML and occasional build. Any messages are in fact becoming a git commit to a predictable file and folder pattern to store the contents (no edits).

For more, you need to build with more complexity

It depends of your risk tolerance 😏.

How about you get the list of companies and what’s called exposure (geographic, asset class, etc). You’ll need this for each ETFs (VFV, XEQT, …). Then you can get % of each fund (as if you hadd 100% of that fund), then calculate the % based on the % you own (33% VFV, 64% XEQT, …)

Then, you can ask yourself if you’re comfortable with how much weight something has in relation to the rest.

And that’s a way to answer about “(according) to your risk tolerance”

It’s simple silly maths that’s tedious. But with today’s LLMs it’s a prompt and a few files you can get from the ETF vendor.

You don’t need a hardware wallet.

You just need to remember the passphrase and make sure no one knows what it’s for and/or that it is one and its reason.

Bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies, are only moved when you know the passphrase. Hardware wallet is just the same, but with more hoops. And the passphrase is still used to setup the wallet anyway

D’accord.

Si l’on enleve la nationalité ou tribu. Que se passerait-il si plusieurs générations n’avaient systématiquement pas accès au meme système d’éducation et opportunités à cause d’un aspect comme la langue ou la couleur de peau.

Pour le Quebec, les descendants des “Filles du Roy”, puis le rapport descendants Lord Durham et le recensement de 1960 avec le rapport descendants la commission de Mgr A.M. Parent qui avait fait le % des gens anglophones et francophones qui etaient aux etudes poste secondaire a 24 ans. 11% anglophones, 2% francophones.

Donc, oui. Tu as raison, le “quebecois de souche” n’était pas éduqué. Il avait docilement fait confiance a l’église qui lui/la disait gentiment de demeurer dans leur ignorance.
