  Weren’t they part of the PAK-FA project? Can’t they salvage something from it?

  Don’t give up your dreams, it’s shit everywhere, you might as well do something that interests you while getting fucked by the system like the rest of us.

  Option two is to do tech pretend-work for some big corpo for six figures, and check out of the workforce and find fulfillment somewhere else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do they hate money now for some reason??⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Shareholders are interested in share prices and dividends, not volume or even revenue or profits,

  They should be correlated, but look at Tesla.

  I decided to finally do my masters in biotech after a decade in data engineering got me to have some savings, mostly because I did want to do one eventually.

  Man, these kids don’t know what’s waiting for them. None of the companies in biotech are hiring, as in their career pages are empty. LinkedIn, Indeed and the usual suspects only throw up listings which are obviously just staffing orgs fishing for data to sell. I feel there is a similar break in the industry with the pandemic, nobody is hiring people just graduating, the barest minimum is 5-6 years of experience.

  I’m seeing some of the best minds in Europe here, doing something that is both hard and useful science, I mean we just had a worldwide pandemic and this masters should be extremely relevant for that, and apparently the system will not let them work in their field.

  Only way out is academics, on barely-decent, you-will-never-have-a-house-much-less-a-family wages. If they can get in to the limited number of exceptionally “well” paying PhD slots, for 40-45k gross. They may earn as much as me doing random bullshit internal tooling two years ago for a bank that went bankrupt since if they can get tenure as a full prof at a good uni in like 30 years of hard work.

  This is bullshit.

  Feel free, it has to be settled in a consumer protection arbitration court, who will by default side with me.

  There is basically a “forced arbitration” law in effect, but not toward people who sue the company, but toward the company that would sue people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that "AI" in itself is highly unspecific term⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That is true, but it was a term narrowly and incoherently used by scientists. In fact, that one paper used it, and it took ten years for it to be picked up again, again by just a few academic papers. Even the academic community preferred terms like “strong AI” before the current hype.

  AGI was not a term that was used to refer to a concept, it had to be explained by each and every article that mentioned it, it was not a general term that had a strict meaning attached to it. It was brought to that level by Google/Deepmind employees two years ago, and then got into the place where every second Medium article is buzzwording around with it when it became a corporate target for OpenAI/Microsoft.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that "AI" in itself is highly unspecific term⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  AGI itself has been made up as a marketing term by LLM companies.

  Let’s not forget that the official definition of AGI is that it can make 200 billion dollars.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hotels have developed a new revenue stream: "algorithmic" smoke detectors⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why it’s great to belong to the 90% of the world without credit scores. Something similar happened to me, I just sent the company an email that told them that they bought bad credit after a washing machine manufacturer charged me for an in-warranty repair that they didn’t even perform.

  Haven’t heard from them since.

  Oh, I was mixing it up with a dietitian it seems

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨true friend⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess that is the specific doctor you need to see if you are having nutrition problems, with symptoms like being over or underweight.

  So the average person should probs see one in their life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨He is cooked⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Back in my kid days, SMS was too expensive to just text around. If you had a prepaid card, the provider would offer to send one asking for a callback if you ran out of balance. We would use these to communicate, like after school one callback SMS was “yeah I’m coming to hang out” two was “no time today, sorry”.

  The upside is that when 3rd party messengers and wifi became a thing, everyone ditched SMS, so the green bubble / blue bubble Apple insanity is a non-starter since nobody uses iMessage anyway. Also no peer pressure to buy iPhones from it.

  We also used to send memes to each other by infra port, we would hide the phones in someone’s desk next to each other, one meme transfer took a whole class.

  And I’m thankful for it. Not like Russia has much to contribute to BRICS nowadays anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Leaders of growing BRICS group gather for Rio summit⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Obligatory fuck Russia, but BRICS and dedollarization is not necessarily a bad idea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Albania’s for Sale, and Jared Kushner’s Buying⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hope he moves there. The Balkans is a great place to put these people in, because while the people there are not much better at picking out who is holding them down than most, their solution tends to be to start killing randomly until the problem solves itself, and sometimes they even hit the right people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spain ruling party bars members from hiring sex workers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They aren’t banning you, they are just banning party members, which is fine IMO.

  I mean in some clubs you can’t have sex at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Founder of Arkane Studios: "I think Gamepass is an unsustainable model that has been increasingly damaging the industry for a decade"; impacts sales⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but on the other hand the dumping business model where you sell stuff below cost to kill competition has been a staple of Silicon Valley.

  Amd I’d rather the studio earn more money than the publisher in any case.

  It might get the EU to make a law.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thank you, Thor!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is not just a random petition, it has legal force to compel the EU to officially hear the issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is WW3 more likely to accelerate or slow down anthropogenic climate change?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It has been tried many times in history since the first tanks. I wonder if modern battery tech makes it more feasible than it was 100 years ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is WW3 more likely to accelerate or slow down anthropogenic climate change?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are hybrids, even in WWI there were French tanks with hybrid drivetrains, then WWII Germans also had super-heavy stuff with hybrid engines, and the AbramsX is supposed to also be like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is WW3 more likely to accelerate or slow down anthropogenic climate change?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The tools that would kill enough humans to matter would hurt the biosphere much worse than it hurts humans. Otters and bees don’t have gas masks and nuclear shelters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is WW3 more likely to accelerate or slow down anthropogenic climate change?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, because after the war we’ll need to start rebuilding stuff we just destroyed, so the people remaining will increase their emissions many times. Also, hypernormalisation after a war might just render public opinion towards climate change indifferent.

  So imagine if the problem was deforestation and people heating with chopped wood. War means that we’ll burn all their wooden houses down, and then see them cut down even more trees to rebuild them.

  Also, large wars cause baby booms.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nexus Mods are set to introduce adult mod age verification for UK and EU users soon⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are no current EU age verification laws on file, the DSA does not require anything like it. There is a solution in the pipe which lets people verify their ages without giving away personal info in the pipe, but it’s not even close to being implemented.

  So what the hell, Nexus Mods?
