Before A Fall [Five Hargreeves x F Reader]. Ch 7 (Hard Feelings Part 2)

SUMMARY: As your life begins to grow around Five's, his attitude becomes a little sinister. When does protection become suffocation and when does taking matters into your own hands become betrayal? (weekly updates) Chapter One - Chapter Two - Chapter Three - Chapter Four - Chapter Five - Chapter Six - Chapter Seven - Chapter Eight - Chapter Nine - Chapter Ten - Chapter Eleven - Chapter Twelve

You and Klaus are plotting. Five is suspicious.

False accusations below. Proceed at your own risk

Chapter 7: Dirty Little Secrets

The next few days are marked by whispered conferences with Klaus quickly stifled when someone else walks into the room.

You know it’s been noticed by all the other Umbrellas, but you don’t care. Sneaking off to do research with Klaus while they plan their heist is undeniably fun. It’s childish, but you can’t help but snigger behind your hands at them, tooling themselves up to go in all guns blazing when you both know a better solution would be there waiting for them online if only they thought to check.

It’s exciting. It’s nice to feel that you can still have secrets- that there’s an aspect of your life outside work that Five doesn’t have complete access to. If he doesn’t trust you with information, why should you trust him?

You’re not really angry with the rest of them, but you can’t help but notice that they’ve not really objected to Five’s treatment of you. Though the siblings bicker and would deny this until the end of time, all of them are too easily influenced by a domineering personality like Five’s.

To be fair to him, he hasn’t been unkind since that night. He’s been cagey and preoccupied but still affectionate. Furthermore, after that first family meeting, he hasn’t made a habit of neglecting Santi in favor of these plans. You’re sharing his care fairly amicably, both making time to play with him, help him with his homework and cook for him in spite of your separate schemes.

You’ve fallen back into the state of uneasy peace that fell after the ‘Übermensch’ conversation. It’s fragile and could shatter at any moment, but it’s held regardless. On your side at least, the resentment has simmered away, coagulating into something thick, heavy and potent.

It’s evening. You’re holed up in Klaus’s old bedroom, listening to the radio and making notes. He sits at one end of the bed and you at the other, another crate of beers on the floor.

You don’t want to put all your eggs in one basket, so while Klaus stalks Klein online, you’re doing some more preliminary work: making lists of other possible candidates to get the information from.

Celine Gregory is a woman who, up until last year, was employed by JUICED’s Investor Relations division. Since leaving under a cloud, she seems to have made it her life’s mission to roast the entire corporation on every online platform she can.

Her entire social media presence seems devoted to slightly unhinged screeds about everything from JUICED’s hiring practices to their lack of ergonomic office furniture. You think she has potential as an ally, but Klaus has his doubts. While it’s obvious she’d leap at the opportunity to bring JUICED down for giving kids cancer, she’s probably burned too many bridges with her old colleagues to give her a chance of accessing the information.

You have to admit he has a point, but you note her down in your notepad anyway.

“Klein definitely wants the whole world to know he’s het,” murmurs Klaus, scrolling through his social media, “lots of pictures of girlfriends. Oh- we’ve changed again. This one’s called Greta.”

“Is he single right now?”

“Mm-hm. I would guess he’s between girlfriends, yes.”

You lean over, abandoning your own screen for a while to look at his. As if Klein’s presence on LinkedIn was illustrative enough, his instagram confirmed the impression. It had a whiff of old co-worker Charlie about it- the asshole whose nose Five broke last year. He’s a very distinct type and you’d know it anywhere.

Forgetting Celine, you angle Klaus’s machine towards yourself and scroll down a few posts.

“...I think I should honeytrap him.”

Klaus makes a skeptical noise, covering his discomfort with humor.

“I don’t know: I’m getting vibes. He seems too straight. The lady doth protest too much, methinks. I think I should do it. I’d be forbidden fruit.”

You laugh along with him.

“Of course you want to be some asshole businessman's dirty little secret.”

“It wouldn’t be the first time,” he says, still laughing, “And you can’t exactly talk: you were an asshole old man’s dirty little secret, and I bet you loved that, didn’t you, you naughty girl?”

You laugh more fully. Klaus is often unnerving in his perceptiveness, having struck on the dynamic with alarming accuracy.

When your amusement dies down, Klaus looks at you with as serious an expression as he can manage.

“Seriously, why put yourself at risk when I could just corner him in a dark alley, conjure some ghosties and have his grandma persuade him for us? Why complicate it?”

You look back down at Klein’s face on his latest post. He’s wearing sunglasses and looking out over the Hudson as if contemplating life, the universe and everything.

“I honestly don’t think that would work on him.”

A pause in which you both look down at the screen. You lean your head against the wall beside Klaus’s. Gradually, you can feel him watching you, looking up at you with his head inclined towards yours.

“How are things with old man Fünfenheimer, anyway?”

You make a non-committal noise.

“That good, eh?”

He takes a swig of his beer and laughs in anticipation of his next joke:

“Don’t sweat it: just get him a few of the little blue pills and you’ll be right back to your once-a-week socks-on missionary.”

You roll your eyes and Klaus continues:

“Is he still being an asshole?”

“Same old, same old,” you mutter, resentfully, “still treating me like a child.”

Klaus nods slowly. You can sense the battle of loyalties going on in his mind.

“Don’t get me wrong,” he says, quietly, “he’s a giant dickhead but, in Cinco’s defense, this is all new to him. For most of his life, he could put his woman away in a duffel bag if he needed to.”

You shake your head. As if that would justify him?

“But I get it,” Klaus continues, “Someone’s always got to be the liability in this family and it sucks. First it was Viktor but now it’s me and you, apparently. It’s always: ‘Oh, Klaus, you be lookout’ or, ‘who cares what Klaus has to say- it’s just Klaus, right?’”

He discards his beer bottle and passes you a new one as he serves himself. He takes a long swig before continuing.

“Five acts like he’s immune to it; like Dad’s bullshit skipped him somehow, but his head is jammed just as far up his own ass as Luther’s ever was.”

“Everything’s an uphill battle with him.”

“Because he’s an emotional idiot, babe.” Klaus says, as if this is obvious, “he’s more fucked up than the rest of us in that way.”

Silence falls for a couple of minutes as you drink your beers companionably.

“You’re not immune to it either,” you say, quietly.

Klaus looks at you, waiting.

“Just now-” you explain, “you leapt in when we were talking about Klein and you said you’d persuade him.”

“Only because I got an inbuilt persuasion technique,” Klaus says, with slight, whiny defensiveness.

“No Klaus: listen, I know this guy. I know what makes him tick. I’ve networked with and schmoozed this kind of asshole before. I know what he wants, I know what buttons to press but you still thought your powers would be more persuasive than everything I know.”

Klaus watches you earnestly.

“I guess I did.”

Then, coming to a decision, he shrugs and takes another hearty sip of beer.

“So what’s the plan, mon capitan?”

You smile at him, and launch into the idea that’s been taking shape in your mind ever since you first saw Klein’s profile picture.

“Okay: I’m a capable younger woman- I’m a go-getter right at the start of my career and I’m impressed by him. I dress business sexy, I go in there and fawn over his latest bullshit on LinkedIn.”

“I’m listening,” Klaus says, smiling with amusement as you kneel up on the bed, getting carried along by your own vision.

“And I just happen to have an interest in taking JUICED down. Maybe it’s just coincidence that this amazing business guru I follow on Linkedin just happened to work there, but maybe it isn’t. Maybe I am sort of blowing smoke up his ass.”

“Hm,” Klaus says, approvingly. “Drama. Intrigue. Color me titillated.”

“But he’s gonna admire that, because it’s what he’d want to do in my situation. And once it’s all over, I’m gonna be just so grateful to him and who knows what might happen, right?”

You finish with an expressive wiggle of the eyebrows.

“You think it’ll work,” Klaus asks, interested and still amused.

“I’m almost sure it will,” you say, confidently.

“Then let’s do it!” he says, with an enthusiastic flourish.

“Yes!” you say, leaning over to hug him, triumphantly.

Klaus squeezes you back and you hug him to you fiercely, feeling your heart race with excitement.

This feels so good: his affirmation, his eagerness; it’s refreshing to feel that someone believes in you. For this moment, you’re not the girl who needed Five’s help to limp up the Academy steps after Micheal Monre’s attack; you’re not a beloved but fragile caged bird; you’re an independent woman capable of huge things.

Fuck Five. Fuck him and his inability to see that.

Neither of you hear the door open.

“Hi.”

Five’s voice comes from the doorway, where he’s been standing for the last few seconds.

“It’s nice to see you two getting along so well.”

You break apart and face Five, standing in the doorway. Klaus, deliberately ignoring the tension in Five’s attitude, holds out his arms smilingly.

“Wanna join the hug-fest, grandpa?”

“No thank you,” Five says, smiling coldly before turning to you, “I was just wondering when you were planning to go to bed.”

You look down at your computer’s clock as you subtly close all the tabs related to JUICED employees.

“It’s later than I thought,” you say, calmly, as if your entire plan couldn't have been blown out of the water a few seconds ago,“I’ll probably come now, actually. Got work in the morning.”

You close the computer, tuck it under your arm and take your final beer with you.

“See you tomorrow Klaus.”

“Bye babe,” Klaus replies.

His mischief-filled eyes meet Five’s suspicious and resentful ones. He gives him a knowing grin as he closes the door behind you both.

You didn’t speak to Five very much as you changed into your nightclothes. You could feel his eyes upon you, but you didn’t acknowledge his obvious displeasure.

Now, he stands somewhat awkwardly, still fully dressed and watching you as you prepare for bed. Eventually, he speaks.

“So, you and Klaus are getting close, I see.”

For a split second, you think he means getting close to taking down JUICED but, recovering yourself, you make a small noise in the affirmative. “Yes, I like him. He’s very-”

You search for a descriptor that toes the line between truth and cutting passive aggression.

“-open hearted.”

A small pause in which Five puts his hands in his pockets, lips thin.

“Yeah. Klaus is open to everything,” he mutters, darkly.

You don’t indulge him by giving him the enquiry this speech asks for. He waits expectantly for a couple of moments while you busy yourself at the desk. It’s now doing double duty as a dressing table since you moved in and you’re doing an unnecessary level of skincare, just to show him that he doesn’t have your full attention.

“What do you and Klaus talk about?” he says, with just-contained impatience.

“Oh, you know.” you say, absently, “Everything and anything.”

Five bristles. You can’t help but take pleasure in this, keeping information from him instead of the other way around. Unable to resist the petty victory, you push it further.

“It’s nice to just talk, you know?” you say, combing your hair in the mirror and subtly watching his face reflected there. You can see the effect your words are having on him. His lips get even thinner and his posture more restless.

“Glad to hear it,” he says, tersely.

Abruptly, he turns away and begins to remove his clothes. He tosses his head to shake his hair out of his eyes with unnecessary force; a vent for his feelings. It gives you a little twinge of satisfaction.

As he changes into his pajamas, you continue to take your time with a drawn-out pre-bedtime ritual. Soon, as he fastens the final buttons on his shirt, he blurts out: “If you pay Klaus too much attention, he’ll be all over you. Show him any affection and he’ll hang on like a goddamn limpet.”

You laugh disdainfully.

“Better than being so far up your own ass that you can’t share anything.”

“And what exactly have you been sharing with my brother?” he shoots back.

“An honest and open relationship,” you reply, with dignity.

“Are you fucking him?” he says, so quietly that you almost don’t hear him.

Your head turns in his direction so fast that you nearly injure your neck.

“I’m sorry?” you say, scandalized.

“Are you fucking my brother?” he repeats, slowly and deliberately. His eyes drill into your own, full of suspicion and angry intensity.

You feel an angry chill wash down your body. You return his piercing gaze with an icy one of your own.

“I’m going to give you one chance to take that question back, Five.”

There are a few moments of tension in which your eyes do battle. Eventually, Five shifts his gaze.

“Okay. I take it back.”

You give a humorless laugh. This disavowal doesn’t satisfy you like you thought it would.

You cross to the bed and get beneath the sheets in a deliberate manner, laying your claim. If he’s going to throw accusations like that around, then he can be the one to sleep in a spare bedroom. He’s always saying this is your home too, so maybe he ought to prove it.

Voice shaking with anger, you speak, trying to catch his still averted eyes.

“You don’t have to be fucking someone to be open with them. Just like how you feel like you don’t have to be open with me even though we’re fucking-”

“Alright. You made your point.” he interrupts, “Just forget I said that, okay?”

He sits on the edge of the bed, facing away from you. After a beat, he rubs his hands uncomfortably on his thighs.

“I didn’t- I’m sorry, I’m just stressed.”

Beneath the sheets, your fists ball tightly as he continues:

“I’m…this whole thing…I don’t like you and I being like this. I-”

You interrupt him, anger bursting its bounds again.

“Have you thought about how this would look to an outsider? It would look pretty bad, right?”

He doesn’t respond.

“A guy in his sixties dating a woman in her twenties, patronizing her, keeping things from her… isolating her by accusing her of cheating when she pays any man but him positive attention.”

You can’t see his face, but you continue, taking savage pleasure in deliberately prodding at his sore-spots.

“If I heard that story, I’d be telling that woman to leave. I’d tell her he’s a controlling, abusive, coercive old-”

There’s a pregnant pause in the wake of this speech. You don’t finish the sentence, finding no suitable epithet, but the quality of the silence tells you that it hit home regardless.

Five blinks, smarting. He can feel trembling, painful energy in his chest. If you had set out to find the worst thing you could accuse him of, you could not have been more successful.

Coercive?

It was said to get to him, he knows that. He knows you don’t fully mean it, but the implications dig into some of his darkest insecurities, threatening to open doors he thought were firmly closed in his mind.

When he speaks, his voice is shaky, higher than usual.

“That hurts.”

“Yeah…well.” you say, already regretting your overstatement of the case, “it hurts me when you act this way.”

Firmly, he turns his attention from the implications of that word. It will do no good to dwell on it. He can only hope that at least explaining part of why will do enough for you.

Now, he turns to you, eyes laden with such an appeal that your stomach squirms uncomfortably.

“I need to keep you safe,” he whispers, “I just…my life…it’s dangerous and if you got hurt then I’d-”

He breaks off, not able to finish the thought.

He never told you what happened with Micheal Monroe the first time; never told you the full truth. Perhaps he should have. Maybe then you’d understand.

Monroe shot you at point blank range: an unsurvivable injury. A single blast and you were gone, just like that. Snuffed out.

Your body was tied to an upturned chair, badly beaten. After the gunshot, you barely had anything that could be described as a face, your brain little more than mush splattered across the apartment floor. The coppery smell of organ-meat was still far too easy to recall to his nostrils.

With difficulty, he turned back time the ten seconds or so it would take to save your life, but that couldn’t stop the scene recurring in his mind.

In the days following, during your unconsciousness, he relied on drugs to stay awake, just in case you needed his abilities again. It was an eight days that, for him, blended into one, interminable, feverish period. It was worse than any of the nightmares where decimated buildings became echoing, never-ending Commission halls.

Now, his head in his hands, he lets out a long, shaky breath.

You sit up in bed and place a reassuring hand on his shoulder. One of his hands gropes its way blindly towards it and he holds on desperately, gratefully.

After a few moments, you withdraw your hand and lie down on the bed, facing away from him.

“Goodnight, Five,” you say.

“Goodnight, dear,” comes the reply.

NLEPs: Bridging the gap between LLMs and symbolic reasoning

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/nleps-bridging-the-gap-between-llms-and-symbolic-reasoning/

NLEPs: Bridging the gap between LLMs and symbolic reasoning

.pp-multiple-authors-boxes-wrapper display:none; img width:100%;

Researchers have introduced a novel approach called natural language embedded programs (NLEPs) to improve the numerical and symbolic reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). The technique involves prompting LLMs to generate and execute Python programs to solve user queries, then output solutions in natural language.

While LLMs like ChatGPT have demonstrated impressive performance on various tasks, they often struggle with problems requiring numerical or symbolic reasoning.

NLEPs follow a four-step problem-solving template: calling necessary packages, importing natural language representations of required knowledge, implementing a solution-calculating function, and outputting results as natural language with optional data visualisation.

This approach offers several advantages, including improved accuracy, transparency, and efficiency. Users can investigate generated programs and fix errors directly, avoiding the need to rerun entire models for troubleshooting. Additionally, a single NLEP can be reused for multiple tasks by replacing certain variables.

The researchers found that NLEPs enabled GPT-4 to achieve over 90% accuracy on various symbolic reasoning tasks, outperforming task-specific prompting methods by 30%

Beyond accuracy improvements, NLEPs could enhance data privacy by running programs locally, eliminating the need to send sensitive user data to external companies for processing. The technique may also boost the performance of smaller language models without costly retraining.

However, NLEPs rely on a model’s program generation capability and may not work as well with smaller models trained on limited datasets. Future research will explore methods to make smaller LLMs generate more effective NLEPs and investigate the impact of prompt variations on reasoning robustness.

The research, supported in part by the Center for Perceptual and Interactive Intelligence of Hong Kong, will be presented at the Annual Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics later this month.

IBM Forms Mainframe Skills Council to Address Talent Gap

During this week’s SHARE conference in Orlando, IBM unveiled the Mainframe Skills Council, a forum designed to help international organizations cultivate a talented, diverse, and long-term workforce for the mainframe platform. The council will work with IBM and other organizations from various sectors, such as academia, user groups, non-profits, and open communities, to develop mainframe skills development solutions.

Academic Mainframe Consortium, Albany State University, Broadcom solutions, DNB Bank, HOGENT, M&T Bank, Northern Illinois University, and Rocket are among the founding members. There has been significant progress made in the mainframe community’s efforts to bridge the skills gap between generations of mainframe users. Building on these developments and igniting the community to share experiences and develop mainframe talent solutions that can expand with the platform is made possible by the Mainframe Skills Council.

Recent studies support industry initiatives to improve mainframe expertise The ability to adapt to economic shifts in the market and new technological advancements is crucial for any organization to succeed in the modern business world. A hybrid cloud operating model has been adopted by 56% of the companies surveyed in the 2022 IBM Transformation Index: State of Cloud survey. IBM Z offers a robust and flexible IT platform that supports customers’ digital transformations and is an essential component of many clients’ hybrid cloud environments. Many businesses will find success especially in having mainframe skills as they modernize their applications, apply AI, and concentrate on digital transformation.

Commissioned by IBM, Broadcom, and 21CS, new research from The Futurum Group, titled 2024 Global Mainframe Skills Report: Insights from Industry and Educational Experts, demonstrates the ongoing need for mainframe talent as well as the advancement of the mainframe workforce growth as the mainframe community collaborates to develop skills.

The survey called attention to the current need for experienced mainframe professionals, with 79 percent of respondents recruiting for mid-career mainframe positions and 51 percent recruiting for entry-level positions. It also highlighted a generational gap in mainframe skilling with an influx of early career talent. Indeed, in 2023, 11–20 mainframe-related roles were hired by 32% of mainframe employers who responded to the global survey, and more than 20 mainframe roles were hired by 35% of them. Furthermore, according to 91 percent of employer respondents, they intend to expand and invest in their mainframe IT teams by hiring personnel for new mainframe positions within the next one to two years.

With 75% of responding university leaders indicating that their institution offers course curricula for students to learn mainframe skills and 83% of student respondents indicating they are learning mainframe skills through their university, the survey results also highlight the increased opportunities for mainframe job seekers to learn and grow their skills regardless of where they are in their careers.

Businesses are also utilizing the community resources that are on the market to identify, educate, and cultivate mainframe talent. As a mainframe hiring or recruitment strategy, 60% of surveyed mainframe employers say they rely on non-traditional skills resources, such as collaborating with industry vendors on bootcamp, training, or apprenticeship programs. Additionally, employers of mainframes who invest in the platform reported that they have less difficulty finding qualified candidates. Of the surveyed companies, 71 percent of those with at least $10 million invested in their mainframe environment stated that they have either fully or sufficiently met their hiring targets for mainframe system administrator roles by the year 2023.

IBM and many other industry vendors are collaborating with colleges, mainframe employers, online learning platforms, training providers, the workforce, and community organizations to provide extra learning opportunities to help clients support their mainframe platform with a thriving technical community. This initiative aims to promote growth in the mainframe industry and improve access to skills.

The mission of the Mainframe Skills Council is to develop, nurture, and engage mainframe talent As for networking opportunities, apprenticeships, and skills training, “there is a significant and growing demand in the tech space,” states Kate Holterhoff, a senior analyst with RedMonk with expertise in IT and developer upskilling. “IBM’s Mainframe Skills Council expands the range of options for individuals looking to reskill into a career as a mainframe professional.”

Apart from providing training, industry-recognized digital badging, support to the academic community, and non-traditional pathway programs, IBM also offers mainframe skills solutions and insights through its larger IBM Z global community, which consists of universities, clients, user groups, and partners. In order to develop a robust worldwide workforce for the mainframe platform, organizations are brought together by the Mainframe Skills Council to exchange experiences and work together to implement solutions. Working groups on learning paths, competency frameworks, career awareness, and professional development will be part of the council.

Among the council’s objectives are:

Displaying a thriving talent pool for mainframes. Aligning with industry competency frameworks. Exchanging ideas and practices to improve professional development. Exchanging educational materials, training aids, and related resources to maximize professionals’ and leaders’ mainframe career experiences. And encouraging mainframe employers to adopt tried-and-true skill initiatives and practices. A tenured mainframe workforce presented a business challenge, stated Gary Fusco, M&T Bank’s engineering director. Their collaboration with IBM and Franklin Apprenticeships allowed us to create an M&T mainframe skills education program. Their apprentices were installing new products on the IBM Z platform and coding in COBOL by the time the program was six months old.

Resources and Programs for IBM Z Skills IBM is now offering a comprehensive platform for mainframe skills training called the IBM Z Mainframe Skills Depot. In order to obtain industry-recognized digital badges, learners can select from specialized tracks catered to roles like System Administrator, Application Developer, or Modernization Architect and access over a thousand hours of free, self-paced, hands-on learning. Beyond the classroom, IBM provides extra non-traditional skill programs and resources, such as the IBM Z Global Skills Accelerator and Apprenticeship program.

Over 440 mainframe system administrators and application developers in 13 countries have been skillfully trained by 83 global employers through this program, which offers over 300 hours of learning, success coaching, on-the-job training, and mentorship. Additionally, the IBM Z Student Ambassador program supports mainframe student clubs on campuses at over 95 universities worldwide and gives students the chance to take on leadership roles.

IBM hosts IBM Z Virtual Career Fairs globally to bring together IBM clients, partners, and credentialed mainframe talent in order to facilitate the connection between employers and mainframe talent.
