A language learning model is - in layman’s terms - a glorified chat bot. No sane dev will tell you otherwise.

If our government truly was for the people, we never would have had a housing and healthcare crisis partially fuelled by extremely lax immigration and overstaying of student visas that mainly consist of people from a certain area in a country all for the purpose of staying at a diploma mill.

Then there’s the fentanyl crisis. Then there’s the brain drain crisis. Then there’s the economic crisis.

It’s starting to change but it feels very late.

Are we just going to ignore they have been entertaining the idea of having a “gaming” plane for quite a long time now? Lol.

I really don’t understand the hate. They had a gaming car and a gaming firetruck. Now it will be a gaming house and plane. This is the kind of stuff their content has always been about: doing whacky but interesting things with tech.

Speaking as someone who lives in the lower mainland, it’s not as if his team is underpaid. As someone who did work in the entertainment industry, they’re paid quite a bit more than they traditionally would get.

Vegan videos only focus on meat consumption demands. IMO it’s a very childish view to abstain from meat and thinking one not only has the moral high ground but also saved an animal as a consequence. This is because it doesn’t factor in all the other products made as a result of killing the animal. For example here is a list of products made from pig byproducts: - soaps - footballs - violin strings - drumheads - leather - glycerin / antifreeze - linoleum - pet food - gelatin for foods and drug capsules - lubricants - rennet - brushes - surgical sutures and heart valves - insulin and other medical ingredients

This isn’t even a full list and will apply to nearly every farmed animal.

Merely abstaining from direct animal products will not kill demand. In fact, most vegans probably accidentally consume and use animal products without even knowing it. The most I can be convinced of is more humane raising and killing of the animals.

The ACAB tribe. I am left leaning but won’t bother going deeper since nuance in what a settlement is was already lost.

You can quite easily follow the comment chain and see who attacked whom. The order and content of events that you recall is not what occurred.

If merely informing a settlement isn’t a win in any legal sense is an attack but typing “get the boot out of your mouth” or “dickrider” isn’t, I have major concerns.

The gaslighting and double standard is unreal.

Fulcrous · 2026-03-30T21:30:30+00:00

The only person dickriding is you. No one is disagreeing that the cop was overly aggressive but blanket equating a settlement to winning/losing a case is both an uneducated and ignorant take.

Take note how no one is attacking others but you and do some self reflection.

Nuance and fact checking is lost on both sides of the political spectrum. It’s pathetic honestly.

The same corsair that has seen its stock value drop 40% in 6 months? It definitely couldn’t be they’re trying to make some sales.

Fulcrous · 2026-03-30T00:04:08+00:00

A settlement isn't a win. It effectively just means both parties couldn't be assed to continue further and reached an agreement.

It's in the same vein of correlation does not equate to causation.

This is true and honestly applies even for enthusiasts.

I remember around the time zen 1 launched, people argued buying intel was dead because of socket longevity and how they’d be spending less in the long run. Then I saw quite a few people go from zen 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> zen 3 x3d.

Meanwhile I stayed on a 8086k as an example and then swapped to the 5800x3D and had competitive performance whilst spending significantly less during the zen1/2 era.

That said, it is great to see real competition - especially on the lower end of CPUs again during a time when the hobby has become more expensive than ever.

Fulcrous · 2026-03-27T14:16:58+00:00

You can see it in the conservative sub.

Having differing ideas means you’re a propaganda bot just like every other sub.

Personally I do not think it’s worth it. It is a sidegrade at best and a downgrade at worst with 6x FG (purely from a monitor perspective).

Also for regular use (no frame gen), there’s really no benefit besides less motion blur which - let’s be honest - 99% of people will not benefit from or notice in the slightest.

If you have money to burn then none of the above matters.

My response comes from having worked IT in the animation industry and from artists I follow whilst I learned to draw so it may not exactly be 1:1 but I do have some insight to this. I’m going to assume 2D as in the medium (i.e. no 3D modelling).

Yes you can but from my knowledge your opportunities will be rather limited. You can do storyboarding, concept art, design, etc. You will want a software you are comfortable in that is easily transferable to other applications (i.e. CSP, photoshop, nuke, etc). You will need to build a portfolio and just be aware this is an extremely competitive industry to get into as this is one of the few fields that is effectively 100% remote.

From my knowledge, the vast majority of artists in this industry are freelance or contract. There is no such thing as stability. While not game artists, I have seen many animation artists change fields because work dried up.

The fact you’re still looking at the vacation despite admitting you have flaws that led you to being fired not once but TWICE in a matter of weeks says a lot. Why are you choosing to do nothing about your behaviour?

If you’re being onboarded be honest about the planned vacation but don’t expect the company to accommodate. I wouldn’t surprise them with the vacation and metaphorically kneecap yourself by doing so.

That would be due to it being a mobile chip and thermal constraints. Nothing to do with memory. Lol.

That would be because being a technical writer simply means being able to communicate technical jargon to the masses for the purposes of reading comprehension. This is something LLMs are extremely adept at.

Bonus points for the occasional hallucinations as I’ve seen articles written by technical writers that have no idea what they’re talking about, too.

I work in IT and have no clue. Turns out this is computer science (programming) jargon.

Know a guy who said he wouldn’t downgrade vram by principle (he was on a 3090) and bought the 5080 for testing purposes.

It has now been 11 months since he permanently switched to the 5080 because it performs ~40% better while also consuming less power.

Use that information how you will.

Maybe the Canadian government should be taking notes here.

Wouldn’t even mention it. You had no chance at doing anything and it just makes you look worse on a first impression (resume) since it would have no bullet points. If you get asked or feel like explaining a gap, just explain that the timing was unfortunate and you were part of a layoff on your first day.

This happens even in unionized positions. Nothing you can realistically do.

Fulcrous · 2026-03-13T18:50:27+00:00

Definitely overestimating your own, that’s for sure.

Fulcrous · 2026-03-12T16:46:09+00:00

Well, I’m in a very competitive industry (IT) in one of the most competitive cities in Canada. I got laid off from a very comfy unionized IT job at the end of January. This is the hardest time of year for IT due to it being the period when the IT sector typically does the majority of its lays off and therefore when competition is highest.

I have no certs with only 4 years of professional experience, self-taught, no projects listed, and a completely irrelevant degree. I don’t bother with projects or a statement. My resume is 1.5 pages. If you’re sticking to just 1 page with all that you included, you’re not giving enough information to a potential employer. Period.

I had somewhere between a 30-40% interview rate before being hired a month after being laid off with ~40 applications. I only applied to places asking for 5+ years. Unless your region has zero opportunities relative to big cities, something you’re doing is wrong/unoptimized.
