Existing as a trans person in the UK is very weird right now: apparently cis gatekeepers should have the right to determine what I can do with my body for my entire life, but asking people to wear a mask during a global health emergency is a bridge too far? Make it make sense.

A lot of people asking what the problem is with "just trusting the vaccine". A few problems that occur to me: a) No vaccine is 100% effective. Even if only 5% of people are susceptible, that's literally millions of people in the UK. b) Half the country aren't fully vaccinated 1/3

In case it's not clear what's happening here: @github's Copilot "autocompletes" the fast inverse square root implementation from Quake III — which is GPL2+ code. It then autocompletes a BSD2 license comment (with the wrong copyright holder). This is fine.

I don't want to say anything but that's not the right license Mr Copilot.

There's a lot of extra context needed in async comms, including clear communication of trust, expectations, and deliverables. Here's an example from my talk on remote/async work to highlight the difference. It looks like a lot, but it pays back in saved time and stress quickly.

Post details

Sufficient communication in remote/async environments often feels like over communication. But in the absence of being “seen”, people perceive their requests disappearing into the ether, not knowing if they’re being worked on. Communicating frequently helps ease those concerns.

I have more stories than I could begin to recount about harrowing interactions with and harassment by men at defcon and Black Hat. Including when I was a speaker. Including when I was in modest professional dress. Including in the morning, everyone sober. It’s relentless there.

Why #infosecbikini matters: At 2019 @defcon I went to the bathroom and a woman was weeping. She'd been at a stall trying to crack some cryptogram puzzles and the man in charge told her it'd be complex for her, she should to go to the "babies stall". She had a PhD in cryptography.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Copilot, is in fact, GNU/Copilot, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU code trained Copilot. Copilot is not an AI system unto itself, but rather a proprietary component that launders GNU code

Bill Cosby was convicted of it and got released 2 years later. Trump bragged about it and was never even charged. This is why women hesitate to come forward about sexual assault, in case it was still unclear.

Last Copilot hot take. MS/Github have used their dominant market position as the largest source of public code in the world to build a closed proprietary service, without the explicit consent of their customers.

Bill Cosby may be free, but as a male comedian with a history of sexual abuse, the most he can expect from the comedy community is lots of bookings.

If Microsoft loves open source, then just make Copilot open source. It would be the bare minimum fair thing to do since without all that open source training data set, they would not be able to build it. But no, they want to monetize it.

Saying that physical co-mingling is vital to innovation is literally telling your disabled and distributed employees that they aren't an imperative part of your inventions and growth, and identifying it as the catalyst removes all of the times one of those employees sparked it.

I have trouble telling what other people mean by “burnout.” Most of the stuff I’ve seen had led me to believe it was a form of severe exhaustion (and somewhat transient). I have gradually come to understand it’s more like some part of you literally stops functioning.
