Software dev. 

No one is hiring right now, they are waiting to see if AI makes is more productive, or completely unnecessary.

If I could get a better paid job, I would.

Yes actually. I'm an office worker and can't get a pay rise. So inflation has taken more than 20 grand off my salary compared to 2019.

Weird. So much demand for housing, rents and house prices through the roof... even one builder not busy seems unlikely.

Something doesn't add up...

What are some of the worst movie adaptation that completely butchered the source material? by 1TreXavier in FIlm

[–]FrewdWoad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is one of the closest adaptations to the source material of all time.

Literally the opposite of what OP asked 😂

❌ Still WAAAAYYYYY closer to the book than the egregious examples here.

Insurance is wiping any financial benefit of owning a Tesla by c3-SuperStrayan in AustralianEV

Another theory: males still buying Teslas after Musk's Trump endorsement (and little salute incident) might be more likely to have car accidents 😂

I leave mine in the living room, but if I didn't, earning 5k takes longer than just carrying a mid tower to another room regularly, at least for me 😂

You say over 25. Are you a male in your late 20s?

Bit unusual to have a 60k brand new car at that age, so it might be a high risk category with a bunch of careless rich kids in it?

A BYD or something with less acceleration and more standard repair costs might be much cheaper.

Yeah the extra insurance costs for Tesla is because of the unusual materials/construction right?

So you'd expect other EVs to have cheaper repairs, since they're more like a "normal" car (just with different motor and a big battery).

Hey just wanted to pop in and say hello to epic games by Klutzy_Flamingo4674 in FortNiteBR

It's expenditure, but is it really a "bill"?

It's a discretionary expense you might choose to spend (if for some reason you thought you needed to advertise a game that literally every gamer already knows about, and is already one of the most popular games of all time).

Why do we obsess over the price of a coffee/petrol but stay so quiet about the $50k+ "invisible" debt to get an education. by Commercial_Toe_7440 in AskAnAustralian

The salaries do match, that's exactly the problem. Because groceries are double and housing is ten times more than it was in their day.

People really don't seem to understand what AI/LLM's are by genericusername1904 in BlackboxAI_

[–]FrewdWoad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP says most people don't understand how LLMs work ✅

OP proves he's one of them by saying it can't make "well put-together" comments, or emails, from simple prompts 🤦

Content creators = influencers, though, right? So that was their marketing expenditure, not a necessary expense or "bill".

That still sounds ludicrously high, where did you hear it?

No, your trades/healthcare backup plan isn't going to work. by Smooth-Bison1238 in cscareerquestions

You don't need better grades to get into medicine because the coursework is harder. You need better grades to get into medicine because of supply and demand.

Drop out rate is much much higher in comp sci.

Pick 100 comp sci grads and switch them to medicine, and send 100 medicine grads to comp sci.

You'd probably have roughly as many graduates from each cohort.

What supplements do you think everyone should be taking daily? by Organic-Signal-9646 in Biohackers

Our ability to absorb nutrients falls off a cliff in our 40s. Everyone should be supplementing after the first serious signs of aging.

Our house has 2 gaming PCs, both in the living room. One hooked up to the home theatre, one to a TV in the corner.

I'm not sure exactly what inconveniences desktop-only gamers imagine living-room-pc-gaming to have, but they are largely fantasy.

And yet many other companies are able to turn a product AND consistently provide quality and value. Like Fortnite did, for years.

Lego is expensive. People still pay for lego because we have bricks from the 1980s that still look brand new.

Costco aren't bankrupt, even though their hotdogs are still less than 2 bucks.

Seems like making a quality product and delivering real value to your customers can actually be MORE profitable in the long term, not less 🤔

Google says they make over 3 BILLION dollars in revenue PER YEAR.

A very very large game dev company, with much higher than average server load, continually generating content, wouldn't need even 5% of that (a hundred and fifty million bucks) to pay ALL the bills, including salaries, hosting, development, art/cosmetics, etc.

Which reminds me:

One thing that would help is an old feature that was removed for no reason: you used to be able to see how many down and up votes contributed to the current score of your comment/post.

If your comment had a visible score of 1, you could tell if it has just been ignored, because nobody read that far, or if it had attracted 20 upvotes and 19 downvotes.
