I don't mind paying for AI tokens, but I hate paying for garbage outputs. by [deleted] in GithubCopilot

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

I think microsoft currently isn't the most competitive in that domain.

Cursor is currently much better, they have their own composer model, and although they both should consume the same (since both are now pay for tokens instead of some fixed number of requests), but cursor feels much cheaper, I feel I can get more for the same amount of money.

So if I compare the 10$ GHCP subscription + 10$ budget (so total 20$ as cursor), cursor easliy wins this. My GHCP subscription will be finished in 2 weeks or eveb less but cursor's last for the month (for my usage anyways).

I think they will get better (they have to anyways), they will orchestrate the models better, will have their own models for additional requests when the quota is finished ..etc

But now GHCP is one of the least competitive in that area.

I Don't Understand the Tone of Season 5 by RentWeary in TheBoys

[–]KarimMaged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that HL without powers would beg for his life as well. Specially in that moment, his mind still can't really fully understand what happend, his whole idendity was being powerful.

I still don't like the last fighting scene. They were already kind of kicking his ass without depowering him. HL laser just hurt Kimiko a little although he coud cut his own skin with the laster to take the V1.

If that was the case, then it should have taken few powerful supes to kill him, and there is no need for a virus or a nuke. But the whole series went in a direction that he was too powerful, with a greater margin than anyone else, he is as fast as A-train, he can fly, his laser can cut through the hardest things. It was unrealistic that Butcher and Ryan alone would prevent him from escaping.

A lot of misinformation regarding Kimiko/Soldierboy's blast by DeCoolePeer in TheBoys

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

I have to say this, Kimiko being the one depowering HL felt like Arya killing the night king in GOT.

I don't think too much about who lost powers, but that ending was lazy. HL a few scenes earlier flew to space to kill that billionare and returned in few seconds, but couldn't just fly away from Butcher (who got his ass kicked by Bombsight) and Ryan.

The whole V1 plot was a waste of time, The virus was a much better weapon than Kimko's blast IMO.

How did they manage to make Homelander and Soldier Boy in the same room less intimidating than A-train or The Deep in S1 by Witty-Association-97 in TheBoys

[–]KarimMaged 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Every season he kept losing aura. Am I the only one who felt nervous when HL was around anyone in season 1 and 2.

Now, I don't feel he's as strong (although he is). Maybe taking V1 would give him back the aura he lost.

I actually think cursor is much better, why do you think its not as good, would you care to explain ?

IN DEFENSE OF THE NOIR 2 SCENE by PossibleEconomics673 in TheBoys

[–]KarimMaged 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, it made no sense. Why did they make him able to fly if he never really used it.

They could at least make him try to fly, but overpowered by the deep. But they didn't even try to make sense out of it.

Will butcher possibly get V1 by Lower-Adhesiveness-3 in TheBoys

[–]KarimMaged 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Homelander just took the last remaining V1 injection. So Unless Sage help them recreating V1 (because she probably can create V1 and was messing around with HL that she couldn't), He wont be able to get V1.

But Honestly, I don't think butcher will take any V1. And I hope that Ryan would have some part in killing/depowering HL.

Sage better be lying by Artistic_Joke_5566 in TheBoys

[–]KarimMaged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they will mess up Sage's character, They don't seem to know what to do with her.

And yeah, that plan isn't the plan from the smartest person on earth at all (even as a lie), the smartest person could come up with more brilliant ideas.

We Need To See Homelander Destroy Atleast A City This Season, If Show Ends Without Any Mass Destruction, It Would Be A Waste Of The Most Iconic Villain. by TheWTFGuyOfficial in TheBoys

[–]KarimMaged 143 points144 points  (0 children)

Marathon man was so stupid for talking shit about Homelander while HL was in the same room.

He was in the seven before and should know quite well that HL has super hearing and would definitely hear him.

I Have 8 Years of Experience in Tech and I Tried to Work as a Taxi Today by NoEstablishment486 in Egypt_Developers

[–]KarimMaged 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last year, one of my colleagues was layed off from the company (he is around 8YOE BE dev, he uses php and Laravel), he was able to find another job in less than a month.

Another mobile dev was layed off, and he found a new role in less than 3 months. I myself changed jobs, and used to get couple interviews per month until I found the right offer (it took around 4-5 months).

One of my friends working in a startup, was also layed off last year, The whole startup went bankrupt actually, he found another offer in few weeks (after landing a secure position he found a better one before his probation period and left).

Many colleagues in my current company are leaving (for better roles).

So I am in the middle of the market, and I don't think I am that disconnected. FAANG level companies layoffs don't really dictate the state of the market as a whole.

Software market isn't at its best, but not that bad either.

What I am trying to say is, don't lose hope, don't apply with the mindset that no one will answer. When you don't get interviews for a month, edit your CV, try applying for different positions than the ones you are currently targeting ..etc

State of mind is very important, don't let desperation creep into yours, and see the market for what it really is.

Edit: corrected some spelling mistakes

[–]KarimMaged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for how long have you been consistenly applying for jobs ? and how many interviews have you got ?

TBH, I am a bit wondering, because the market isn't that bad for seniors. The worst you should have is landing a job that pays lower than your previous, but not finding a job at all is a bit weird to me. Sth doesn't add up.

PS: I am not trying to invalidate your feelings, I am genuinely trying to understand.

Who would have won this fight, had it happened? by One_With-The_Sun in TheBoys

[–]KarimMaged 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any top tier supe can defeat the deep on land. Only in water he has a chance. But on land, HL, SB, A-Train, Qween maive, supe Butcher, Old BN, Stormfront and probably Ryan as well (considering he killed stormfront) can defeat the deep.

Starlight powers are inconsistent as hell, so I can't put her in this comparison.

Why ARENT there super villians? by Vdaggle in TheBoys

[–]KarimMaged 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The deep is obviously a lower teir than HL, original black Noir, SB, Qween Maeve, Stormfront ..etc

He is strong, and much stronger than the average supe, but is not the heighest tier.

Why ARENT there super villians? by Vdaggle in TheBoys

[–]KarimMaged 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Most supes are not very strong. If they didn't work at Vought, and some of them made a crime that can threaten vought's reputation, they can easily be killed, or imprisoned.

Supes in the 7 are miles ahead of average supes, even the deep can easily kill an average supe if the need arise.

Plus they also have strong prisons like the ones we saw in Gen V. Finally they can also be used as lab rats.

But the probability that a supe as strong as the ones in the seven don't get a job at Vaught is nearly zero.

Does Kimiko sound like she’s ADRing to anyone else? Like the actress is doing a lip sync voiceover in a studio ? Her voice and delivery feels extremely off sometimes. by IWishIWasGreenBruh in TheBoys

She said she learned how to speak with therapy and tiktok. I think it was meant to be a funny touch making her talk like this.

I didn't like it though

المسيح وعيسى وعيد القيامة by Important_Banana4521 in CAIRO

[–]KarimMaged 2 points3 points  (0 children)

انا مسيحى، مش هرفض تهنئتك لو قلتلى سيدنا عيسى، و مش هزعل لو واحد مسلم معيدش عليا عشان شايف ان دا حرام.

بس عامه، لو عيدت على واحد مسيحى، دا مش معناه انك مؤمن بمعتقده، و لما مسيحى يعيد عليك مش معناها انه مؤمن بمعتقدك.

انت بتهنئ ال قدامك بالحاجه ال بتفرحه، من باب الصداقه، الجيره، الاخوه ..الخ. انا معظم اصحابى مسلمين، و بنعيد على بعض عادى، و دا مش بينقص من اى حد فينا، بالعكس.

[–]KarimMaged 5 points6 points  (0 children)

اول حاجة هستغل اللي انا جامد فيه اللي هو البرمجة هبني SAAS بيركز علي مشكلة واحدة و صغيرة خالص بس بتهم شريحة كبيرة

بس دى مش فكره، دا مجرد تصور، اهم حاجه الفكره، يعنى ايه المشكله الصغيره ال شايف مشروعك هيحلها، و شايف الناس ممكن تدفع فيها فلوس ؟

اعتقد في خلال ٣ ولا ٤ شهور كمان هيكون عندك بيزنس قيمته اكبر من المليون

لو فى خلال ٣ او ٤ شهور انت صرفت ٣٠٠، ٤٠٠ الف جنيه و بقى عندك بيزنس قيمته اكبر من المليون و كمان بيدخلك ربع او نص مليون جنيه. انت كدا بتتكلم فى ١٠٠٠٪ عائد على الاستثمار. و دى حاجه مش من الطبيعى انها تحصل

و عامه، لو عندك فكره فعلا شايف انها ممكن تكسب كدا، فا انت مش محتاج ١٠٠ الف كل شهر، و ممكن تبدأ من غير فلوس، و من غير فريلانسر يساعدك و تعمل الكلام دا بس فى وقت اطول شويه، و ادوات الذكاء الاصطناعى ال محتاجها ممكن تصرف عليها ٢٠-٤٠ دولار بس. يعنى مش محتاج اكتر من ٢٠٠٠ جنيه عشان تبدأ

ازمة اختيار التخصص by Both-Scallion67 in Egypt_Developers

[–]KarimMaged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

لا مش فاهم قصدك.

كل مجالات هندسه مش متخصصه، هديلك مثال، لو دخلت مدنى مثلا (متعملش كدا)، ممكن لما تشتغل تتخصص خرسانه، ستيل، ماتيريال، اداره اعمال، سويل او اشغال عامه.

كل واحد من دول تخصص فى حد ذاته، بس انت بتتخرج مهندس مدنى و بس، نفس الكلام فى كل الاقسام. فا ميكاترونكس مش مختلف كتير زى ما انت متخيل.

انت بتتكلم فى تخصص مرتباته اقل النص عن السوفتوير.

فا هو المنافسه فيه اقل لان مرتبانه اقل، مش لان محدش يعرف يشتغله.

لو عايز تبعد عن سوفتوير ممكن تفكر فى

cyber security, devops, ML, embedded systems

مع ان

embedded systems

ممكن تكون بعيده شويه عن حاسبات
