And some of the engineering types are busy kissing the feet of people like Altman and Musk so they don’t get a chance to even notice.

I manage computing for a large university. One of my recently graduated students told me that he thought that technology just worked until he worked for me and saw the problems that come up. He was already a very tech-aware person and is going for a PhD in Infomatics, so if even he didn’t understand this, then what can we expect from the general public?

As someone who has hired lots of CS students, the successful ones tend to:

-Have a public GIT repo where they have all of their personal and class projects publicly available. You put this on your resume and potential employers can browse at leisure.

-Have done a student group like robotics or satellite club.

-Have interned somewhere with a name. Doesn’t matter what the job is, just get that name on your resume. Sadly, what you know and can do is less important than where you interned and overworked or unmotivated hiring managers really need bullet points that they can grab on to and then move on.

It’s basically the new IBM.

But it seems that it’s actually built in to some part of their software so Microsoft is still responsible as a whole.

I don’t get why they don’t propose a fix themselves.

It’s based on a specific piece of hardware in the iPhone called the Secure Enclave that basically keeps all of your PHI in a place that nobody but you can get it. It doesn’t transfer when you get a new phone, for instance, and has to be recreated. I’m betting that an Android app involved some sort of emulator, performance was awful, and they gave up.

This was my take. Did they expect different?

I am pretty impressed by a lot of these captures. I suppose a lot of them must be found randomly when viewing a random episode.

Agreed. Few geniuses, it’s mostly driven people with slightly above average intelligence and a good bit of opportunity.

I work in service design and delivery. It’s my job to understand how devices actually function and interact. Can confirm that dev types can learn the stuff if they want to but most have not. Knowing how to set up your fancy computer with all the IDEs in the world is great but not the same as doing that for 5,000 people at once.

Don’t underestimate what having the necessary intuitions do engage with mathematics does for you. A significant portion of the population is incapable of that, mostly because we have a very poor way of teaching it as a subject.

I think that non-tech people think that tech just goes. Like you pull it out of a box and turn it on and it just works. They have no idea how much jenk is in everything and how much jenk was eradicated before a user came went anywhere near.
