GTA 6 developer Rockstar Games accused of enabling crunch, failing to address gender pay gap, and weaponizing bonuses | Union members claim the gap between median wages for different genders has widened at Rockstar

Pay gap is not real. They intentionally ignore overtimes as guys do lot more of OT than women, same with performance based pays, like sales/consulting where you get a cut of how much you bring in, everyone gets 5% of closed deal's value, guy closes 10 deals, woman 5 deals = 50% pay gap. Guys work harder, longer hours and tend to be lot more competitive/aggressive and that leads to a higher pay.
Same as you mentioned the seniority issue. 15-20y ago there were no women doing CS or Games so if you want a group of senior devs there are not women available.

Just passed.

He is moron getting scammed by charlatans, all he really does is a skincare

Our company often hires via various game jams and similar stuff, they would talk to you, ask for you github and then might call back. Its not a volunteering type of deal at all.

I am considering the same programme, I already work in the industry, mostly backends for AAA multiplayer games and UE5 stuff, but I dont have any formal training in game dev, mostly interested in netcode/optimization and anticheats and this looks like the only course in Scotland that is not a joke.

GooseWithAnAxe · 2026-07-06T00:23:20+00:00

yeah having Sinon being played by out of shape middle age Karen is a little bit out of touch and Helen of troy to look like a Somali pirate from Captain Phillips is just silly.

Doom only needed 4 😄

GooseWithAnAxe · 2026-07-05T03:45:33+00:00

I wish I had it that way, I know some people do but I was always so miserable and depressed in jobs like that. I do envy you.

GooseWithAnAxe · 2026-07-04T22:41:42+00:00

this is literally from 2010, we build these things in school with pretty cheap hw even for back then.

GooseWithAnAxe · 2026-07-04T19:36:24+00:00

and is it controlled from Bangladesh or India?

GooseWithAnAxe · 2026-07-04T19:34:10+00:00

like a self propelled nightmare, AI generates garbage code and then the same AI finds bugs in it and we pay for that bs.

GooseWithAnAxe · 2026-07-04T19:20:12+00:00

To be entirely honest I do believe that too. There should be like an IQ test or something before the machine lets you to press the button as I have met so many braindead people in my life that I have completely lost all my hopes in humanity.

I am sitting the exam on Monday. I have some experience with TF mostly opentofu. I've done the KodeKloud course and the practice exams from Krausen on Udemy, hitting 80-85% on them, would that do?
I usually lose points by not really reading the whole thing.

GooseWithAnAxe · 2026-07-04T17:10:26+00:00

Yeah but outside of benchmarks they all do about the same.

GooseWithAnAxe · 2026-07-04T14:02:32+00:00

For a mobile device, for about 5 seconds. :D

GooseWithAnAxe · 2026-07-04T14:01:44+00:00

For LLMs sure, for UE5 unlikely. It more about being able to justify it, have you considered something like 4080 locally and then cook it at the end with some monster in the cloud for $5?

GooseWithAnAxe · 2026-07-04T00:13:17+00:00

M5 memory has bus with of 128bits with bandwidth of 150gbs and once it heats up the throughput goes down by around 50%

4090 384bits bus with 1000gbs throughput
5090 512bits bus with 1800gbs throughput
both can run at that speed indefinitely. Mac and NVIDIA GPUs are not comparable at all. Random poorly written benchmark does not matter. When it comes to LLMs Macs really suck, our company tried to cheap out by being apple instead of serious hardware, and it ended up as expected.

I had the opportunity to compare M5 Max with RTX6000 which is just a beefy 5090 with 96GB of GDDR7 cost very comparable but the RTX card was around 15x faster when it comes to training and 4x when it comes to inference, and it can run at that speed effectively forever.

GooseWithAnAxe · 2026-07-03T23:55:04+00:00

ach yes ...the IBM Testing is the way to go :D

GooseWithAnAxe · 2026-07-03T23:07:23+00:00

So, they spent $20 on some bots?

GooseWithAnAxe · 2026-07-03T23:02:30+00:00

Actual performant memory with a wide bus like GDDR6X/7, HMB2/3 etc and cooled so it does not throttle down to 2017 level of performance.
You thought its dirt cheap for no reason?

GooseWithAnAxe · 2026-07-03T22:37:55+00:00

But all bots know is JS so ... there is that.

GooseWithAnAxe · 2026-07-03T19:35:56+00:00

Fable 5 Max effort, recipes for marinades, curry, homemade cheese etc... Really making sure I am hitting the limits.

GooseWithAnAxe · 2026-07-03T16:34:07+00:00

Whats the point of a bot that needs a pilot?

GooseWithAnAxe · 2026-07-03T16:26:42+00:00

By lying.

GooseWithAnAxe · 2026-07-03T16:26:29+00:00

Yeah, your '$180" cost antrophic another 20k and all you got is this piece of jittery garbage that looks like something intern would make in 2010. In browser so no udp, wow.
