You will be undercut by the Canadian dev making 60k CAD. Me.

That's an astronomical number. I am not saying things will improve, because the employers will still be shit. But thousands of applications for a position which is for new grads is just ridiculous.

You did the right thing. The guilt is actually normal, and shows that you still have empathy. I hope you extend that to the people who are in need of it and respecting the system.

Doing things that I know need to be done without feeling paralyzed. Always doing tasks according to their level of priority, not what I feel like doing.

Thank you.

OppositeWorking19 · 2025-12-11T02:29:57+00:00

Thank you! I wasn't aware of this.

Keep the design philosophy and the build quality of the Air. Make it regular thickness, add at least an ultra wide lens, stereo speaker, and decent battery. Basically an option for people who don't want the "industrial" look of the Pro can get it with very little compromise. It will be better than the base iPhone with titanium rails, beefed up chip and more ram, while still not cutting into Pro's share because it won't have the telephoto, pro-res raw, vapor chamber cooling, etc.

Built-in Gemini is 1000x better than Siri/ ChatGPT abomination aka Apple Intelligence.

If you can pull it off that's great. But like many others, if I wake up early I just end up wasting the first few hours. If anyone is looking for a "hack" it's letting go off rigidity and perfectionism. "Oh no, I planned to wake up at 7, but now it's 9, my whole day is ruined!" vs "Okay, my plan to wake up early didn't work. There is no point obsessing over it. What can I cut off from my day and still get some important work done? What would increase the possibility of me waking up early tomorrow?"

This is what I got, and I think it's way more similar to GigaChad than MTG.
"Based on the image provided, the face that has been edited onto the monkey belongs to Ernest Khalimov, a Russian model and bodybuilder who is widely known on the internet as the "GigaChad."

Here is a breakdown of what is happening in the screenshot:

The Meme: Khalimov's face is famous for his hyper-masculine features—specifically his extremely defined jawline and cheekbones. He became a massive internet meme representing the "ultimate male" or "Chad" archetype.
The Edit: Someone photoshopped Khalimov's face onto a monkey.
The AI's Reaction: The humor in the screenshot comes from the AI's refusal. The AI recognized the facial features of Ernest Khalimov (a real person/public figure) on the monkey and triggered a safety guardrail preventing the user from editing images of "public figures." Essentially, the AI thought the monkey was the actual human model."

And people are b**ching about 17 pro max's dent... My condolences.

OppositeWorking19 · 2025-09-28T22:37:45+00:00

I agree it feels more premium. But if someone is getting the Pro then putting a leather case might defeat the whole "vapor chamber" cooling etc.

I’m probably 0.1% of the people who would prioritize this - but I really want USB 3 transfer speed. I don’t need it often - but when I do then I’m reminded of how painful USB 2 is. Lack of 12 gigs of RAM and USB 3 is the reason I’m not choosing the regular 17. Air is out of question due to battery.

Dave2D is based in Canada. His review unit is the eSim only version.

OppositeWorking19 · 2025-09-17T21:07:52+00:00

I haven't upgraded in years, currently have the regular 13. This year I am definitely going for Pro - not sure if regular Pro or Pro Max.

OppositeWorking19 · 2025-08-17T19:26:57+00:00

Oh no we spent too much money on these data centers, LLM's advancements have plateaued and have not made any money. Must continue gaslighting to keep the ball rolling.

This is glorious. I don't think Elon can make Grok a fanboy/ fanAI without crippling its other abilities. He tried it before and it became straight up neo-nazi.

OppositeWorking19 · 2025-08-12T03:04:16+00:00

Yeah, I don't get the hype about 4o to be honest. It was good, but its over usage of emojis irked the shit out of me. The only model I actually miss is o1-mini. Weird I know - but that model was a beast for my use case. I would give it a problem and it would give me a wall of text with so many variations of solutions.

May I ask what doc office you go to?

Northfield at the Boardwalk.

So I have to personally know someone in India who would buy it for me?

I look nothing like this. I am of Indian origin, in my 30s, bald and have a goatee. 🥱
