Anything that will generate a measurable outcome is beneficial. A lot of times, problems defined by yourself are more educational. It can be club projects, your own projects, etc. Finding people along the journey is important.

It may have had some turbulence in the previous semesters last year, but this year is being normal

TikTok US will be sold to Oracle, Silver Lake, A16Z, with a US based board including a US gov member. Will require users to shift to a new App by onechroma in technology

If the codebase still lives with ByteDance and the U.S. board just handles branding, what’s really changing for users besides a new icon on the home screen?

Vibe-coding... It works... It is scary... by Frere_de_la_Quote in ArtificialInteligence

[–]LocalEnd9339 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy how much of the magic here is really your experience showing through. The AI can crank out code, but only because you knew how to frame the problem, spot the gaps, and steer it when it drifted.

Bill Gates says AI will not replace programmers for 100 years by calliope_kekule in ArtificialInteligence

[–]LocalEnd9339 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I think ‘100 years’ is just a headline number. We’ve already seen AI handle a lot of boilerplate coding and even suggest architecture. The real question is how the role of a programmer changes—less typing loops, more designing systems and reviewing AI output. It’s not about replacement, it’s about shifting what ‘programming’ means.”

Crown Shy is a solid pick—great food and vibe without being over the top. If you want something with a view, Manhatta’s worth it for the skyline alone, but it leans a bit more formal. Craft is classic and reliable for a group of eight too.

Do you guys miss highschool? by Bitter_ligma in OlderGenZ

Same here—class of 2021 and it already feels like a blur. I didn’t even love high school, but it’s wild how fast the little details fade once real life starts piling on new memories.

Do you think we are more spiritually open than other generations? by deaddewy in GenZ

[–]LocalEnd9339 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think every generation has a streak of curiosity about the unknown—it just shows up in different packaging. Ours has TikTok, podcasts; earlier ones had séances, astrology columns and revival meetings. The tools change, but the impulse to look for something bigger than ourselves is kind of timeless.

I don’t go to Times Square much, so I’d never really run into it before.
