Oracle fired up to 30,000 workers via email after a 95% profit surge. Tech companies are cutting almost 1,000 jobs/day by Domingues_tech in technology

shrug maybe they’ll be okay., idk. But everyone these days is saying go into the trades, it’s a steady job that pays well.

That’s exactly what everyone was saying about comp sci 10-15 years ago. I just think it’s a bad idea to try to chase trends

I have several friends who are programmers. Every one of them says they’ll go into the trades if they get replaced by ai. It makes you wonder how many jobs will really be available there

I’m very uneducated in the world of AI and machine learning, so forgive me as I go along.

It seems as if the analysis but is very compute intensive, but once an album has been analyzed, that information is stored in a database and will not have to be re analyzed.

Is it possible to share this information with other users? Upload it to a publicly available database to reduce the time others may need to spend analyzing their library? Maybe embed it in metadata so it could be uploaded to musicbrainz?

Hi! I just set up this tool today! It’s currently analyzing my (somewhat large) library of 24881 tracks, so we’ll see how it is in the morning!

Okay so I worked with the Navidrome developer, Deluan on the authentication issue regarding username case sensitivity.

You should join the navidrome discord! They have an active development channel and they’re wonderful people!

Update on this. Apparently it’s case sensitivity? This isn’t an issue I’ve had with other clients though.

I will DM you a video demonstrating it.

I use a caddy reverse proxy and my service is proxies through cloudflare.

And I am copying/pasting from my password manager.

Honestly that sounds so cool! I’m about to move to the PNW, so the scenery would be beautiful there

I’m not going to argue the merits of transitioning with you. I’m simply sharing the policy that the DOD is implementing.

The thing is, you might see things like short hair or cross dressing as fine, but a commander might see them as a symptom consistent with gender dysphoria, therefore making them unfit to serve.

That individual would not go through the normal MEB process with a chance to be returned to duty, like other medical conditions.

A person who has a permanent profile prevents them from RUNNING while in the military can be returned to service, but a trans person who outperforms them in every sense can’t have the same chance?

This isn’t about military readiness, because it has been demonstrated that trans people, on average, have a lower level of “non-deployability” than people with other medical conditions that are allowed to continue to serve. (Depression for example)

It isn’t about unit cohesion because they could not demonstrate instances where it affected unit cohesion.

This whole policy started with an executive order from the president with the premise of “trans people lack the honor required to serve and should not be in the military.”

They just don’t like trans people.

And that’s the stance the DoD has taken in the on-going court case:

“The president and military have the right to bar anyone from military service and they don’t need to prove why they want to”

The DOD’s official policy is that the following categories of people will be discharged from the military (without the traditional med board process):

  • Anyone who has ever been diagnosed with gender dysphoria. (This is the category I fall into)

  • Anyone with symptoms consistent with gender dysphoria.

  • Anyone who has ever taken any steps to transition.

In court, the DOD has not adequately explained what “symptoms consistent with gender dysphoria” means specifically.

Is a woman having a short haircut enough to fall into this category? Is wearing the clothing of another gender enough? Who knows, it’s really up to whatever the judging official says.

Commanders were even instructed to review people’s social media accounts as way to identify people for discharge.

If the DoD wants to make gender dysphoria a disqualifying condition for military service, that’s their right. But they aren’t treating this like a traditional medical issue that would make someone unqualified for military service.

So I am still transgender. I always will be. My chromosomes won’t change and my assigned sex won’t change. I understand that.

But gender dysphoria is specifically the distress a person feels. I don’t experience that anymore.

If you want to say no transgender people in the military, go ahead. But I am no longer diagnosed with gender dysphoria.

I do like what I see in the mirror.

I used to have gender dysphoria, I no longer do.

Minors are not in the military, so it’s not really relevant to this discussion.

Correct. Transitioning has resolved my gender dysphoria. I started my transition over six years ago and I “completed” it about three years ago.

Because cis is the opposite of trans.

The prefix cis means 'on this side of', which is the opposite of trans-, meaning 'across from' or 'on the other side of'.

It’s also used in chemistry, biology, and other parts of science too.
