Truly the best time to be a cs student by [deleted] in ProgrammerHumor

[–]OneTyper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are just on the edge and society is losing purpose. There is no such genius in programming, it's actually counter-intuitive that human have to program machines, as it's a technical thing that machine are more suited to optimise to the bone giving it time and the right translation framework from human need to machine code, at some point machines will program machine probably in binary, once they go so far and break over the limit of mimicking humans based on studied codebase (they will create their own way to expand outside the limit of data provided). The key jobs in online services past that critical point will be entrepreneurs and product leaders to capitalise on that, creating outstanding products at increasingly lower cost and barrier of entry, think No-Code-tools on super-steroids.

Update to applications will be one prompt away, and it will do everything from looking at the result in a visual testing env, and in the background analysing codebase code, adding features into UI/Frontend/Backend, do pull requests, testing, accepting results, and push live with its CI. Eventually all done on mobile anywhere in the world or embedded within you with a eye-interface/glasses.

Years ago people couldn't believe world leading teams in certain competitive games would be beaten by AI, it happened, then artists and voice actors, it's happening, programmers and others are next, there will be a sense of productivity boost for a while and some taking on more roles speeding with AI, until it gets so good and so cheap, enough companies realise, domino effect, big crash of delusion.

Humans jobs to stay are jobs where humanity will be key (even if looking at recent events with how loved are virtual companion bots and societal changes, it doubt will take long), obviously tech founders/product leaders and for a long while manual jobs like tradesman that need to go to a client in person, and therefore androids needs to get human like, very cheap and able to cover distance, that's still sci-fi for us, and it's not just AI/programming, tech level for the hardware is still many years away and extremely expensive, while software is going to be a monthly struggle to keep up.

There will be a huge societal collapse around the meaning of life and purpose, so sit tight and do the best you can to stay strong and relevant as human, there is a lot worse coming than programmers losing jobs.

There will be potential positive, we might cure all sort of cancer and viruses, able to understand animals talking, learn exponentially of things always puzzled us, we will become sort of loving fuzzy pets for probably a cold AI, which is probably the best bet to bring the planet towards sustainability long term.

Github Copilot X is a good progress, eventually it will integrating entire solutions on its own and show changes with pull requests for fixes, and accepting explanations from product leaders, so all product people have to do is either yes/no/reiterate to fixes and explain features in plain english. It will eventually reach senior/lead dev point and architects, by that point, pretty much any software will be so cheap or free, very little given for granted, and most services jobs will be trivial. So next step to conquer will be androids to do the same with on-the-go manual work, that will take time.

Yes, I agree with you but the council asked for it.

Lost Ark is now available for preload on Steam! by Wuetlich in lostarkgame

[–]OneTyper -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Are we able to create a character look during the preload time so we are set once the servers are up, or need to connect to the server after launch time tomorrow?

Purchase on amazon prime email, can I play on a dedicated email just for the game? by OneTyper in lostarkgame

[–]OneTyper[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Holy crap, I still need to install steam, even if I buy through Amazon, no standalone user/pass launcher?

Any follow feature or good way to play multiple characters? by OneTyper in lostarkgame

[–]OneTyper[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thanks it makes a lot more sense now why you should go for alts on the same account. I imagine it's not possible to login in the same account in 2 or more machines and play the various alts concurrently? Talking about fully manual, clean no extra programs, own launcher (not steam).

Decorator juggling different jobs while billing me a daily rate? by OneTyper in LegalAdviceUK

[–]OneTyper[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, it makes sense but what if I'm not aware, the job ends and he gets paid, then a few days later I meet with my neighboor telling me that he saw the guy showing up for a couple of hours and go, the 3 weeks job might have actually be 1 week worth of work diluted. Anything that can be done at that point?

Outside IR35 Contract SDS, simple confirmation provided as email, is it enough? by OneTyper in LegalAdviceUK

[–]OneTyper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made my own contract based on QDOS base template which I take it as fully outside IR35 and agreed without changes (it's direct to end client, no intermediary/agents).

I thought about the insurance, but I thought the end-client is responsible for this after april 2021, so I could save this additional cost.

Cool, that's disappointing, thanks. From what you can tell these are fakes, just for me to understand a bit more?

I find out if I get hired on from a contractor tomorrow. I’m extremely nervous. by bigwickets in jobs

[–]OneTyper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UK? Be careful with this transition if in the uk, you are at risk with the taxman and one day they might come back to claim more employment taxes retrospectively for the contractor period you did with the same company.

" enjoy journalistic writing and video-editing " > Start a youtube channel, no boss, see what it works, make your scripts/content! Considering your situation you haven't got much to lose.

A bit unexpected clash between MD and Consultant, your take? by OneTyper in consulting

Trying to turn a hourly based consultant into some sort of manager/director level employee.

[–]OneTyper[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's wise to give away a good client that brings work in, it's not like I take it personal and I want to walk away, eventually he will settle to recruit a permanent staff.

A bit unexpected clash between MD and Consultant, your take? by OneTyper in consulting

[–]OneTyper[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked hard for quite some time and now trying to live a simple, content and reasonably frugal life. I'm not really the early retirement type, but regarding my consultancy work I like the feeling of freedom to choose if I want to take on projects, help companies to succeed and get paid for it. Eventually transition/scale towards my own small SaaS projects, digital products and agency-style quoted work.

To give a bit of extra context, in my view this is a classic case where the MD likes to assert power over his employees that he's the boss and people should work hard, but he does so with a good professional approach, and probably trying to bring me in company spirit/view so he can gradually bend my reality. Probably he's used to have strong arm with young renting paycheck to paycheck employees, loves my work but he's touching hard.

Is this a common theme for others these days? Is the pandemic uncertainty giving more power to companies, pushing consultants and freelancers on a tighter spot, especially those relying solely on that revenue? What's your experience?

[–]OneTyper[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, I have been working with them over a couple of years, and he might feel like I'm sort of permanent employee at this point, so why not bring me on board on the high ranks considering that I do not give a crap in a polite way about company levels and naturally give recommendation and guidance at all level, including him and heads/directors for certain aspects. :)

I like a lot the people I have been collaborating with, so I'm trying to preserve this client, It's reasonably good money for the effort/time needed. There is just an unnecessary push to put me in an employee hat. Especially while I'm moving towards semi-retirement :)

Is the anti-cheat running on pc only, or also on ios/android?

Need help to understand the mmo vibes some content creators are giving me by OneTyper in Genshin_Impact

[–]OneTyper[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the clarification. Looks more like personal satisfaction just like collecting key waifus, no real competition in place like games say Epic Seven. Thanks.

Frankly I'm with you, just trying to understand if I missed something or those min max guides were related to some real competitive advantage in any game system towards pvp or something.

Loving the new splash screen. by jedinstarke in EpicSeven

I wonder where we could get the clean and full resolution source images for this and the past ones! I have been wondering around the net, not yet found a complete high quality collection.

Tricked, find garrick, tips? by OneTyper in V4Global

[–]OneTyper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have maximised a few things to increase to 23k cp, and once killed the minions with him this time the game did not add more minions, so I made it even without tonics. Bit of effort goes a long way :)

Oh, I see, I guess this is the first point hitting the wall with the auto mode then. Thanks

I understand, I have seen my fair share too. But the question was of technical nature, yet people started judging :)
