So what you’re saying is that penis-havers have a rifled urethra, which contributes to higher muzzle velocity and accuracy, as well as the spiral shape of the stream?

During my computer engineering degree I was required to take enough math credits to earn a mathematics minor, and I learned the physics of transistors at a quantum level as part of the core curriculum. Do you think I can call myself an engineer, or should I limit it to just - what was the wording you used - oh yeah, syntax ape?

Do you honestly think a public office equates to a normal job in this context?

I… Yeah, I just said pretty much the same thing lol

Sure, that’s a very, very robust way of doing things. And I’m not trying to say what you’re describing is wrong either. I’m just saying that some places don’t have the knowledge/ability to set things up that way, so they play fast and loose with prod access. Couple that with giving LLMs free reign over the computer with those prod settings, and you end up in situations like in the original post.

It’s not unrealistic, is all I’m trying to claim. It’s a failure on several levels, but it’s not unrealistic.

Hopefully they’re not storing their production database in git lol. They should be taking backups of the database, but unless they’re making one after every transaction, permanent data loss is a real possibility.

Some places deploy to prod multiple times a day. Trying to coordinate access through a management server in situations like that can get cumbersome. It’s also easier to audit who’s doing what if they connect from their personal environment. Different strokes for different folks of course, but it’s certainly not uncommon to be able to connect to prod directly from a dev box.

Well, sure, but even if a developer correctly tests on a development environment, they still probably have prod settings laying around on their filesystem for the times where they need to put out fires in prod. That’s kinda what it looks like what happened here - the LLM found a .env file with prod settings, and used that config to run destructive tests. All the more reason to not give an LLM side wide reaching access to your computer, but it’s not necessarily an indication that someone regularly tests in prod.

HIPAA only applies to healthcare workers though. A journalist with access to his hospital could absolutely report on his condition, as long as they are getting the info themselves, not getting it leaked from nurses/doctors/etc

• Sometimes he walks around the house carrying stuffed animals in his mouth and makes weird, pathetic sounding noises. Hard to describe. But it doesn’t SEEM like he wants our attention or anything. So, idk.

One of our cats does something similar, walks around the house with a toy in his mouth, making very loud, very pathetic sounding “mrrow” noises. Once he finds someone though he drops the toy, sits, and looks at them expectantly. I think he thinks he’s hunting for us, so we reward him with pets when he brings us his “kill”, and that usually makes him puff out his chest all proud and purr like crazy.

That might also be part of the satire

Funny thing is, the reflecting pool has pumps and filters, they’re just in disrepair (along with a bunch of other infrastructure-level stuff). Instead of actually addressing the root cause of the issue, Trump decided to give it the ol landlord special and slap a coat of paint on it.

A lot of parts of Lemmy have a sexism problem

There’s layers to the meme. It’s also about how junior engineers are often overworked and underpaid.

Just the other day I watched some luxury SUV sitting dumbfounded in a left turn lane with an ambulance flashing lights and blaring the horn behind it. Oh yeah, the left turn lane was the one that led to the emergency room parking lot. I wish that bike messenger was around then

He’s great at playing muscle headed idiots though

I’m taking about 2015.

We don’t need them to respond to calls

Exactly, the last time the NYPD went on strike, crime went down lmao

To be fair, those bullet points are pretty standard security best practices that any software company should be following.

But like, at the same time, even if AI companies were doing those best practices, I still wouldn’t let their products loose on production systems.

Then why did you bring up utilities
