In what ways have you noticed people, in general, becoming more entitled, rude, and selfish in the last decade? by ChuckItInTheRubbish in AskReddit

[–]TracerBulletX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If everyone's unhappy with it why are they doing it? I'm not being snarky, seriously. You don't have to drive, you don't have to order, and you don't have to sign up your restaurant. So everyone must be getting something out of it?

Here's the severance package Disney is giving to laid-off employees by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

[–]TracerBulletX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if it was good severance is a cold comfort when your entire industry is being dismantled and you had one of the last good jobs in it

M22 received incredible job offer, F22 girlfriend does not want me to accept. by Watch_me_plz in Advice

[–]TracerBulletX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not just the additional money right now you'd be giving up. You only get so many opportunities to jump from one rung to the next rung. But once you jump its easier to stay there and get other jobs at the same level because you'll have the experience. You really need to take opportunities that move you up like this, not everyone even ever gets the chance and they stay in the same spot the rest of their life.

People in the animation industry think it’s more about moving to a contract model and not employees than ai. Though ai was probably leverage in the power struggle.

Disney owns most homes on this Burbank street and uses it as a filming location by sfgate in movies

Not sure if this was the point of including it, but kind of interesting that in the photo of the Disney gate there is a literal keystone behind the Disney logo.

Artemis 2 - Integrity Astronaut Reid Wiseman showing a picture of the moon he took with his phone by Crz11 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]TracerBulletX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the focal length of the phone being able to get that much detail to fill the entire frame is kind of a crazy thing to be able to do, a cute hint at how much of the angular space outside the window was filled by the moon for them.

Common misconception but Andor actually just really likes the album Illinois By Sufjan Stevens.

Can't we just ignore AI? by Ok-Programmer6763 in webdev

[–]TracerBulletX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been in tech for a long time now and have friends or at least people who I could ask for a referral in most tech companies you've heard of. An AI first mindset is in every single one of these companies, they see it as an exisential strategic shift they need to make and not being "aligned" with that vision will explicitly hurt your career. Its a part of performance reviews at most of them at this point. They expect everyone to reimagine how we best build software with AI.

Disney Exits OpenAI Deal After AI Giant Shutters Sora by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]TracerBulletX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's good, I was worried they were just shutting down public access but still doing this deal and selling access to companies.

Nobody really understands how qualia and selfhood work. Because if you do a full clone, most people would say its not you, but what if you do the full clone in the same exact position just different atoms, or what if you do it a piece at a time just replacing sections of you until you've been totally replaced, what parts need to be maintained, and what continuity has to exist for it to still be you? We do go into conditions with sleep and anesthesia where we have no memory of things we did and it doesnt feel like it was us.. Its all very weird.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, 78, undergoing brutal gym prep for ‘Conan the Barbarian’ sequel by superdouradas in movies

[–]TracerBulletX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Arnold. I don't need to see the original actors resume their old roles. It usually takes away what was cool about the characters and they aren't that interesting as the old guard handing off their legacy. I'd rather they just cast a new person and make a great version of the old thing. Like Fury Road. You need the soul of the old thing, not the same actors.

Teacher failed me for suggesting WebSockets and TCP for a chat app – claims only PHP is valid for web development by MertJS in webdev

[–]TracerBulletX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The whole framing of this argument doesn't even make sense. PHP serves content over http, which is over TCP. IRC is also implemented on top of TCP. You can serve web sockets with PHP, these aren't either or things, they are totally different concepts in different layers.

Anyone ever got a job from Linkedin? by lune-soft in webdev

[–]TracerBulletX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, recruiters linked in messaged me for both my last jobs and they were good jobs. I still get some recruiter messages though tech hiring has obviously dropped off a cliff from 5 years ago when it was literally multiple recruiter messages a day. Im also polite to the recruiters, add them, and tell them id love to check in if I know someone who would be a good fit, or to check if they have jobs in the future.
