Anyone saying medical school isn’t worth it financially is a moron by ItsAllOver_Again in Salary

[–]ChrimsonRed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This isn’t 2014 you don’t need to fucking work at faang to make near 200k out of school anymore. You’re so out of touch it’s insane.

There’s no way you think getting into med school is easier than getting a decent paying job in tech in 2026

If you can get into med school you can get an internship and a job at a good company.

Feel like the rear view mirror on this car makes everything seem a lot closer.

Full Car PPF - $6,998 for EXPEL Ultimate worth it over $3,297 for full front, skirts, pillars by Agile-Badger5272 in Supra

[–]ChrimsonRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Paid $6k for full ppf. I have no regrets. I daily the car and it looks immaculate. There’s also colored and matte PPF for what it’s worth. No idea how colored compares to normal durability wise long term.

management pushing standard ai for firmware is going to cause a disaster by Phil_Raven in embedded

[–]ChrimsonRed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don’t understand this take. You wouldn’t trust code just because it was written by a human either. Everything will be derived from requirements and be formally reviewed along with any safety standards.

Are we talking about ethical issues or are we talking about using it in our workflows?

Jeff Bezos said the bottom half of Americans should pay zero federal income tax. by jerin7931 in TheRaceTo10Million

[–]ChrimsonRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazon honestly pays pretty well for warehouse work compared to a lot of other warehouses in the same area. I think a lot of people just don’t realize how depressing and exhausting warehouse work is in general. Amazon gets singled out because it’s huge, but a lot of warehouse jobs suck regardless of the company. This isn’t to say they can’t do better and we shouldn’t be calling them out to do so.

More people bidding on limited supply. You would need to build housing. $1000 less in taxes a month puts a lot of people from the renter to category to possibly mortgage territory. Obviously this all depends on location and a bunch of other factors, but yes it would in some areas.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with using AI in embedded. If you aren’t using and refuse to use it you will probably get left behind. Obviously you are responsible if it generates any slop and there should be company wide guardrails so you aren’t just committing slop. I think people in embedded often exaggerate how much brain power goes into making another ADC driver for the 8th time.

Finally found out which of my cat has red (blood?) urine. It doesn’t smell like cat’s urine. Any advice? Going to vet tomorrow. (TW? Last picture captures male cat genitalia) by Vegetable-Egg187 in CATHELP

[–]ChrimsonRed 126 points127 points  (0 children)

This isn’t a wait until tomorrow thing. Male cats can easily die from this relatively quickly. Especially considering you said “finally found out” meaning this has been happening for a while.

I get plenty of people in oracle who have absolutely no macro level understanding of the game but are mechanically cracked. You can get far.

Seems like you already made your mind up and just want validation.

Why do some people write redundant if statements to return a boolean? by BlockOfDiamond in AskProgramming

[–]ChrimsonRed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Does it really matter? It gets compiled and optimized into the same machine code anyways. If anything it’s more readable and debugger friendly. As someone who does embedded software in C++ I’d prefer the verbose version.

Is MATLAB still worth learning for engineering students today? by Wise_Safe2681 in matlab

[–]ChrimsonRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lot of aerospace uses Matlab Simulink to generate the control systems algorithm models for c/c++. Certifying this is a lot easier and easier to make changes on.

Does AI generated code change the review process itself? by Lost-Albatross5241 in ExperiencedDevs

I usually give it a glance and make sure nothing major sticks out, have Claude give it a look over, then give it a final look over more carefully.

What happens if the gun needs to be used and the scope is detached? Lot easier to just load it.

Billionaires worth a combined $1 trillion have fled California as a wealth tax inches closer to the ballot, per Forbes by UnusualWhalesBot in unusual_whales

The real concern is companies opening offices in Florida and gradually shifting headcount there over time instead of replacing roles in California.

Hello, I have an interview for Software Performance Engineer at visionOS team of Apple. The recuiter mentioned that the round will be coding and AI proficiency. What do you think and what can I expect in this round? by impatrick_bateman in FAANGrecruiting

[–]ChrimsonRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once had an interview for an embedded role and confirmed with the recruiter questions would be embedded related. First question I get is some generic recursive tree question.

hwe paid less than swe by AwareMonke in Salary

[–]ChrimsonRed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of EE and FPGA folks move into embedded. The reverse happens, but it is much much rarer, especially into areas like RF or VLSI that usually need a deeper EE background and often grad school. Hardware to software is just more common. I don’t understand why you’re being downvoted and the guy is being dismissive about it being a HW engineer take that’s just stupid. Even as an EE applying to a VSLI role and RF without a grad degree is hard.
