- Comment on Coinbase CEO explains why he fired engineers who didn’t try AI immediately 23 hours ago:
Now re-explain this 5 more times before it shits out something remotely close to what you’re asking it to do.
- Comment on Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment rates 2 days ago:
I only know a handful, we’ve all just moved around a lot through our careers.
- Comment on Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment rates 2 days ago:
Change jobs every three years until you find a place that doesn’t suck.
Most of my social circle is in tech and we’re spread across or have worked for basically every company in our city and that isn’t really a thing here.
- Comment on Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment rates 2 days ago:
You’re dead on about the 5% of what you learned thing. I’m on like my 20th tech job and pretty much everyone one has been different. What I learned in school has applied to only the most basic aspects of any of those jobs. Everything else was learning as I go and just generally understanding how PCs and software work. I have done fairly well with upward mobility (currently about as high as I can go without taking another leadership position) but I had to bust my ass to do it and it was only because I always stood out because of that so I would be first choice. There were never enough promotions/mobility to go around to everyone that was deserving.
- Comment on It Took Many Years And Billions Of Dollars, But Microsoft Finally Invented A Calculator That Is Wrong Sometimes 3 days ago:
That was the initial impression of it. Now that we’ve had more experience with it and learned that it can’t be relied on, perception has changed. It is oversold and the costs are not worth what we are getting out of it.
- Comment on It Took Many Years And Billions Of Dollars, But Microsoft Finally Invented A Calculator That Is Wrong Sometimes 3 days ago:
Lemmy is pretty consistent with the people I know IRL in terms of opinions on AI.
- Comment on AI at the World’s Biggest Games Event(Gamescom) Booked Random Meetings for Attendees 3 days ago:
Honestly probably about half the middle manager/project managers I’ve had to deal with could be replaced by AI. That’s not to say AI is good, they just really sucked at their job.
- Comment on I love bpd girls 3 days ago:
Less inhibitions.
- Comment on SpaceX says states should dump fiber plans, give all grant money to Starlink 3 days ago:
Yeah, please… give me shitty satellite internet instead of a fast fiber line…
- Comment on A handful of people are slowly killing over 8 billion people, but we're expected to sit idly by and let it happen 6 days ago:
He’s apparently started his own security company so odds are improving.
- Comment on I hate Wireless devices. 6 days ago:
*connecting*
*device disconnected*

- Comment on If your happiness is derived from your enjoyment of a false (i.e. fictional) stories, is that truely happiness, or is that technically a delusion? 6 days ago:
Whatever makes you feel happiness is happiness. It’s all just chemical responses in your brain when you get down to it. If a TV show gives that to you then good. You should obviously try to diversify the things that make you happy but with the way the world is going take it where you find it.
- Comment on Incident 1 week ago:
Nah, I was solidly middle of the pack as a kid, if not lower-middle.
- Comment on Microsoft's Windows lead says the next version of Windows will be "more ambient, pervasive, and multi-modal" as AI redefines the desktop interface 1 week ago:
The last one I pay for anyway. Not even sure I actually paid for that one…
- Comment on Microsoft's Windows lead says the next version of Windows will be "more ambient, pervasive, and multi-modal" as AI redefines the desktop interface 1 week ago:
I don’t want to speak to my computer. I don’t need AI to perform basic tasks. I don’t need my computer usage redefined. Fuck off Pavan.
- Comment on Marie Curie 1 week ago:
Same. Like 80% of what comes out of my mouth is sarcastically saying dumb shit because it’s funny to me. Every now and then I get a response from someone that makes me wonder who else isn’t getting that I’m joking.
- Comment on Standing desks are like gym memberships. Plenty of people (and offices) pay for them but never use them 1 week ago:
Can confirm. I inherited one when I changed jobs, never use it. I do stand at my desk often but I am very short.
- Comment on Every damn time. 1 week ago:
Still feels icky to make that decision for another creature. I know people have to do it for pets all the time and I’ve had to do so myself but I still second guess that all the time… I wish there was a way to communicate with them to find out what they want.
- Comment on Every damn time. 1 week ago:
It’s not bad to use child molesters.
- Comment on Incident 1 week ago:
So provide more info to the special cases that need it.
- Comment on Incident 1 week ago:
I turned out fine so it clearly was. Not sure how my parents knowing a minute by minute breakdown of every time I wiped my ass would have improved anything.
- Comment on A simple sign on a fence asking the question we all ponder 1 week ago:
Depends on how freaky your coroner is.
- Comment on Incident 1 week ago:
If nothing unusual happened you don’t need a summary. When I was getting picked up my conversation with my dad was “how was school?”, “fine” 99% of the time. If I got sick or injured myself, sure, explain, but that was rare. Same for most of the other kids.
- Comment on Alpha males 1 week ago:
TIL I am an alpha male after all…
- Comment on HR people smiling at you thinking that you are a complete moron 1 week ago:
Had a 3rd shift guy I was trying to fire get 3 extra shifts out of us by just not showing up to the meeting and not answering his phone. HR wouldn’t let me just shut his account off until the 3rd one. That dude was a real POS for other reasons but I can’t knock him for taking advantage of bureaucratic nonsense.
- Comment on Hmm which one I guess? 2 weeks ago:
Woman one for legs, Man one for upper body.
- Comment on Trump says he plans to put a 100% tariff on computer chips, likely pushing up cost of electronics 2 weeks ago:
How exactly do you think these things are decided currently if not by people?
- Comment on I bought a £16 smartwatch just because it used USB-C 2 weeks ago:
I bought an $80 Seiko because it doesn’t require electricity at all. Can’t read my emails on it though.
- Comment on Trump says he plans to put a 100% tariff on computer chips, likely pushing up cost of electronics 2 weeks ago:
Advocate for people who deserve it if your goal is to be understood.
- Comment on Trump says he plans to put a 100% tariff on computer chips, likely pushing up cost of electronics 2 weeks ago:
Why bother with all that when it only benefits child molesters? They should be happy with the fact that our justice system is flawed enough that we can’t just execute them like they deserve. There are valuable members of society those resources could be directed towards.
