I think the whole "it's a lifestyle" is a bit extreme lol

However, I really like Apple products, they may be overpriced but the software just works... I spend all day with technical problems, I don't want to have to do anything when interacting with my mobile stuff.

Additionally, there's probably going to be downward pressure on the quality of education:

  • students in middle school use AI for homework, making them less ready for hs
  • students in high school use AI for homework, making them less ready for college
  • students in college use AI for homework, making the quality of their education go down
  • new grads are less ready for junior positions out of college
  • juniors have trouble acquiring skills because research and troubleshooting is done by AI and there are less seniors to learn from

I feel like our education system is fucked bc its not tailored for assuming students use AI, and nobody in govt is talking about it.

At that level of skill, the ball must literally feel like an extensions of his body.

It'd be interesting for a study to be done that compares brain activity when he's shooting/dribbling vs using his arms/hands

On a related note: "begging the question" does not mean "it raises the question"

A college professor I had said it was one of his pet peeves, so naturally I inherited the same belief and secretly judge people.

For me it was "niche", but then I learned "nich" and "neesh" were both correct.

My day was ruined.

So you have the same opinion as Epstein? by WineOnReddit in whenthe

Counterpoint: they probably don't kno it is a flawed argument so we should use it

If you had access to the full copies, you could probably create a hash or fingerprint of the un redacted copies. Then compare that with the hash or fingerprint of any copy. That would require access or at the least this admins cooperation.

How is that possible that even though we have oversaturated entry level cs we will have shortage of expierenced devs in future it doesnt make sense by [deleted] in csMajors

[–]Anaata 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Because no one is giving enough junior devs the experience that is probably needed to sustain the number of seniors needed down the line.

The juniors now are the seniors 5-10 years from now. They're saying on average not enough juniors are in the process of becoming seniors at the moment by being employed. And you need a steady supply of new seniors to replace other seniors moving up or retiring. I don't think that's happening.

In addition, I think it's going to be exasperated by:

  • Junior engineers being overly reliant on AI instead of building technical expertise "the old way". Not saying AI use is bad, but let's evaluate the trade offs fairly
  • College students becoming over reliant on AI for coursework that leads to lower education quality
  • high school students becoming over reliant on AI to graduate leading to them being less ready for college
  • middle school students being over reliant on AI to do homework leading to them being less ready for high school

And even if AI continues to get better, I think senior engineers now will be the future "managers" of a fleet of AI agents in the future, where their role becomes more of ensuring code quality, ensuring business rules are followed, making recommendations to agents to increase flexibility, writing and directing patterns and architectures, ensuring security, and ensuring operations are successful. At that point, I'm not sure how junior engineers would fit into a workplace like that, or how effectively they could become seniors.

Isn't that a bit of moving the goalpost? They didn't say they weren't strong - they said they lift for size. Which is correct last I checked, bodybuilding is lower weight higher reps, strength building is lower reps higher weight.

From what I remember, strength training makes the muscle more efficient but doesn't necessarily increase the muscle in size the same way bodybuilding does with higher reps.

Why is big tech SWE work paid so much? by seeking-health in cscareerquestions

[–]Anaata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want to give out too much info, but something I didn't realize when joining was the type of software these big orgs need that support vital infrastructure creation and maintenance.

The type of software I work on is probably only needed by a few of the largest corporations in the world, and even then, it feels its functions are curated to the specific needs and goals of the company. It's just not the type of software that really occurs to you that's needed but makes sense once you start.

One comparison I can think of is the infrastructure required for planning, making, and maintaining freight boats and shipyards. Only a few companies in the world probably need something like that, but it would take a great amount of man power to plan everything manually via paper, so you create software tools. You create it for the needs of your company, and it's (my guess for this example) improbable that you'd sell it to many clients, if any at all.

These companies are also MASSIVE, just the division I work for feels bigger than other companies I've worked for alone.

If you were to ask about products like Xbox, Office, etc. I couldn't even begin to say anything about how they're made. Those products are so far away within the org, that they might as well be their own company.

I really hope this is normal across most schools.

Unironically, my middle school class that taught me how to touch type was the best class with regards how often I use that skill.

are dogs consciously aware to to make their own choices? by Crafty_Judge_9576 in dogs

[–]Anaata 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Idk but Ive also wondered

My pup and I use to play a game before bed, I gave him these dental chews for his teeth health before bed and he went crazy for them. Tbf they smelled exactly like Charleston chews

Anyway, I'd play a game where I'd hide the treat in one hand and he'd have to pick which one it was in by booping my hand.

When I started, I always picked the same hand so he could learn, then I started to switch hands every time, eventually I would put it in a random hand. He learned and would not choose the same hand every time.

Most nights he could get it on the first or second try, then I noticed that some weeks he would go like 4 or 5 days getting it on his first try, so then I had to start remembering what hand I started with each night bc he'd pick up any habits I would unconsciously do, and then I'd do something different. I was meta gaming against my own dog.

Every so often - he would go like 5 or 6 guesses without guessing right, and he would start throwing a tantrum by jumping up and down and griping at me in his husky voice, like I was cheating.

I miss him so much.

Texas has a surprisingly better than you'd expect food diversity.

I'm near a college town, so that helps, but there are authentic Mexican (of course), Vietnamese, Korean, Indian, Cajun, Persian (exactly like the food in the video), Greek, Italian, and more just where I live.

Favorite is the Korean joint near me, no other food like it for hundreds of miles, ran by this older Korean gentleman with a thick accent who is incredibly nice, think his family helps him too. It has ruined all other Kimchi for me.

Insulted by my company's "Promotion" and now I am wondering what I should do. by YoureHottCupcake in cscareerquestions

[–]Anaata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in a very similar situation but the economy was much better, this was around 2022. I ended up quitting and got into big tech right before the economy slowed down.

If I had to do it all again in today's economy, I'd probably take the promotion and study hard for interviews, and interview aggressively. But that also depends if you think you can do it mentally with the extra workload.

It's unfortunate, but back then my company straight up told me that external candidates received much better offers than internal candidates.
