If it's sophisticatedly rewritten then it's no longer AI generated


That is not a reliable indicator even today. GPT-4 (not the ChatGPT RLHF one) is not distinguishable from human writing. You could ask it about modern events, but that's not a long term plan, and it could just make the excuse they don't follow the news.


It does. Cmd-Shift-/ and start typing


http://www.indeed.co.uk has a very clean craigslist-like style which I find a joy to use when recruiting.


Indeed is my go-to job site. I found jobs both in Canada and France using it.


Changing your password is the fastest way to ensure all authed sessions on any device is logged out. Google offers a "log out of any sessions" button somewhere in account settings, but most other services don't.

If your email account is compromised, any service that do password resets via email confirmation, are potentially compromised by whoever has access to your email via OAuth.


I'm pretty sure that changing your password does NOT revoke your oauth scopes, which was the attack vector here.


We at CopyCopy (a cross-platform cloud clipboard) solve this problem by only universally copying stuff that you copy twice.

So:

copy once -> not sent to cloud/devices

copy twice (or click floating button) -> sent to all your devices and cloud account


Indeed, WHATWG is currently considering [1] a related scenario where rogue websites with access to the clipboard will inject formats with dodgy payload to exploit flaws in some app if the user pastes.

Windows itself leaves the c:\users\<username> path as it was first set, even if you rename the username.


I can confirm this. Recently renamed a user as I handed off an old PC to my wife. The old directory is still there but now all the files within it are inaccessible. Caused a lot of issues!


This shouldn't happen. The directory is still there, but it also should still be your profile directory. Changing a user name shouldn't change the SID and make your files inaccessible.


Lots of things with Windows should not happen, but they do. It shouldn't forget that I have bluetooth hardware installed, but it does. Windows just (in)conveniently forgets things. Or, conversely, remembers things that should be forgotten.


A lot of weird things happen when you violate Windows' core assumptions about the file system.


Not really. Renaming the username-part of the user's home folder has all kinds of data loss potential (apps not being able to find documents, documents linked to each other etc.). Therefore Windows takes the perfectly appropriate approach of leaving the user's files named as they were. Permissions etc. all remain unchanged and allow the same renamed user access. Just the folder on disk shows the old name.


I just renamed my user, too, but I kept the same directory. No issues for the past month or so.


We (copycopy.com), do.

Atm we use a mix of QtQuick/QML and some widget code mainly when wrapping QtWebKit it for some parts of the app furniture that need it.

Although the guts of our app requires native code (for clipboard monitoring and websocket message receiving), were considering ditching much of the UI in favour of a webapp.


With Marshmallow, you can just turn off or deny certain permissions. So for most people who really want to run the Uber app, the question is really whether it runs OK without all these permissions.


Uber did this knowing very well that most people don't have Marshmallow on their smartphone.


Most people don't read the needed permission, even fewer knows about those settings.


How many end-users understand permissions and are able to manage them?


My mother published a fairly seminal paper on the topic [1] 18 years ago which concludes that emotional awareness (specifically, the "Theory of Mind"[2]) can be learned by people with Autism.

At the time this was against prevailing wisdom but AFAIK is now considered accepted wisdom.

Too a degree yes, it is more case of the ability to process those emotions are slow, so as somebody with aspergers I will days later realise what I missed, sometimes years and other times be completely ignorant of what I missed.

But equally I find it hard to explain emotional states and have a real hangup on fairness to the extent that as people say "I cut my nose of to spite my face".

THink of emotions like book openings in a chess game, normal people know this naturally persay and other have to learn them, yet are able for all intent able to play chess and play well. Yet because they do not do the standard book openings, they end up with a slightly off balanced game with the other person getting upset you did not do a standard move. Not sure if that helps explain it, but for me is a good analogy.

Still emotions and body language is in effect a form of communication that many use to say what they would not say directly and that is not autisims fault for not playing that game and being upfront and direct and honest, however blunt. With that, I console myself that if over 50% of the World was autistic, ther ewould be less liars and normal would be autism with those with emotional hidden communication being the ones deemed too have an issue by society.

Still I do wish I had the skill set to cold-read people, certainly save much time.


It's unclear how far along I am on the spectrum, but emotional intelligence is something I acquired late and with much effort.


Same here. I was able to learn social skills in my late teens and through my twenties.

It wasn't exactly a fun process though. I'd try to "act normal" and then get feedback that taught me I was breaking a social norm. Feedback = kids making fun of me or cringing out of pity and embarrassment for me. And I wasn't very sensitive to the feedback so it took a lot of feedback to learn.

Now I seem normal-ish and life is peachy and my different ways of thinking feel like a superpower rather than a handicap. But man, teenage life was hard.

Disclaimer: I was never actually diagnosed with ASD (I was just called "weird" and "nerdy" and other things), but I have no doubt I would be diagnosed ASD if I ever got diagnosed.


My story is similar to yours except I made a conscious decision to buck the trends and didn't work too hard on acting normal. I worry about what will happen to the kids growing up in this new safe-zone anti-bullying world? That feedback was invaluable to me, in fact it was probably the most important thing I learned in high school.


So do you, or anyone else, know good methods and resources for teaching children with autism theory of mind?

My son is ASD (as I probably am). And I want to help him out so that he doesn't have to learn the hard way as I did. I'm going to buy the Social Stories book (mentioned in your link) off Amazon. I'd love to hear any other helpful ideas.

I also read several body language books over the years. The best is What Every Body is Saying, in case that's helpful for anyone. Unfortunately, reading a book is not as good as practicing.


Books alone won't do you or your son much good. Get as much personal improvement/development live courses as you guys can, acting would be my top.
