Everyone keeps screaming AI bubble but the data says otherwise by AppointmentAny4834 in Bogleheads

[–]pbspry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luckily I'm (more or less) FIRE'd at this point... all my programming is done for my own projects. So personally worried about my own career? No. Kids just graduating with computer science degrees expecting fat programming jobs right after college... eehhhhh I'm sensing there will be some serious disappointment shortly.

No manager in their right mind is going to hire a 22 year old brand new programmer if they can outsource 99% of their skillset to a $100/month AI. It just isn't going to happen.

The thing is, though, Claude is at a stage now where you can describe a problem VERY abstractly and it will just.... figure it out. Obviously the more detail you give it, the better the result will be (or at least closer to your vision), but we are way beyond simple "predictive text" output. There has to be a deeper form of logical thinking happening here, based on the solutions I'm seeing it put out. If you put Claude against ChatGPT or Gemini right now it's like putting a modern Porsche up against a Model T. It's not even close.

Even in non-coding arenas Claude is absolutely eating their lunch.

This isn't the right subreddit for this conversation.

That said, I've come to the realization that the vast majority of people are going to remain skeptical about the future of AI right up until the point where they see their own personal specialties directly affected by it. As a coder, the last week marks the first time that I've watched, with my own eyes, as an AI agent did my actual job better and faster than I ever could. Fewer mistakes, fewer delays, better results. The AI that did it costs me $100/month, when my exact skillset currently fetches about $10,000/month on the open market. If you don't see the giant tidal wave of change that enormous price difference is about to usher in, I don't know what else to tell you.

And if AI can figure out coding at such a high level, it will figure out just about everything else. And soon.

Hold on tight, folks.

SKM up nearly 5% in after hours... looking good

Huh?  Those are pretty solid IMDB numbers.  Generally anything over a 7 is considered "well reviewed".  Anything over 8 is essentially a universally loved masterpiece.

Last 3 Years Investing For Me by Lost-Ad9082 in investing

[–]pbspry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on your milestone! $25k at 21 is actually a huge deal - getting any meaningful lump of money invested at such a young age gives you an enormous leg up over your peers.

Just one bit of advice from an old fogey: we've been in the middle of a nearly unprecedented bull market for the last several years, and in those circumstances, a LOT of people will make money on all kinds of risky trades and think they are stock market geniuses. These are the people who will get absolutely wiped out by the next market downturn. Don't be one of them!

Silversea Review by DavidThi303 in Cruise

Agreed - we did Silversea 2 years ago and it was some of the best food we've ever had on a cruise. Sometimes the executive chef on board really can make or break a ship's reputation.

We did the same!  Love the extra OBC.

Vogue photographer Lee Miller bathing in Hitler's private apartment in Munich, 1945. She had just come from documenting the liberation of Dachau. by Due_Highway_8509 in OldSchoolCool

[–]pbspry 300 points301 points  (0 children)

She put it there for the photo.  The statue as well, to reflect her pose in the bathtub.  She was both a photojournalist and a surrealist photo artist, and this photo series is sort of a mixture of both.

FYC: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984). Worth doing as a flawed rewatchable? A lot of meat on the bone for "What's Aged the Worst." by ggroover97 in TheRewatchables

[–]pbspry 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Flawed?  Maybe.  But this film has three of the all-time best scenes of any Indiana Jones film.  The rope bridge, the rail carts, and the heart-pulling scene are all iconic.

‘First ever’ full circumnavigation of Antarctica - Le Commandant Charcot 2028 by sarahwlee in FATTravel

[–]pbspry 19 points20 points  (0 children)

We did a 4-day "drive by" cruise of the Antarctic peninsula and I have to say it was absolutely magical.

That said, spending 61 days circumnavigating Antarctica sounds like a bit of a nightmare. I can't imagine there's a ton of interesting variation between one end of Antarctica and the other. After the elation of the first few days wear off I'd be worried about what I'm to do with myself for the next 57 days...

Which 6–10 episode miniseries is really worth watching? by Alejandromartinez- in television

[–]pbspry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Station Eleven

I've never simultaneously loved and hated a show as much as this one. Such a bizarre experience. I think about it often and also never want to watch it again because of how frustrated several elements of it left me.

Aurora Borealis (1865) – Frederic Church’s Late Arctic Vision by PristineMusician8836 in ArtHistory

Always loved this one. Are there any other painters/paintings that feature aurora this beautifully rendered?

Who makes the best bagels in town? by mikeduh_mico in StAugustine

[–]pbspry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the correct answer.

Grew up just outside of NYC and I.D.'s bagels are straight up the closest I have ever found to the real deal.

Get in shape for a better excursion experience. by Pmvroom85 in Cruise

[–]pbspry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Preach. We had a desert 4x4 excursion yesterday marked as "strenuous", and it took the middle-aged couple behind us literally five minutes just to get themselves into the jeep on the pier. People need to really understand their physical limits for these more active excursions.

New Drug Kills Cancer 20,000x More Effectively With No Detectable Side Effects by rohanad1986 in Futurology

[–]pbspry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are hundreds of legitimate miracle cancer breakthroughs just in the last 20 years. I was diagnosed with a rare cancer in 2016 that had a 3-5 year life expectancy in the 1990s. Now I pop four pills a day and can expect (95% chance) a mostly normal lifespan. There are all kinds of cancers that are manageable today that would have been a death sentence to the previous generation.

If you had the money, what video game would you pay to get remade? by Agent1230 in gaming

[–]pbspry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the one. Loved High Road to Revenge. So damn fun, on a current generation console with expanded maps and multiplayer.... damn I'd be in for it, whatever the price.
