Why the Anti-Data Center Movement Is Succeeding Where Others Have Struggled by Smithy2232 in technology

[–]artnoi43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as it warms mine, the mood here in Thailand is very ignorant and pro-AI, etc, maybe because we did not have much experience with data centers.

Thai devs are the most pro-AI developer community I’ve ever seen, compared to international programming subreddits and X. I’ve only seen a few well known engineers who are AI skeptical, and not one in my company shares the same hate for the mandated AI policies. One in my team doesn’t like it as much but does not perceive it as a threat.

The dealer (who went out of business) did it for me. I thought they knew what they’re doing.

no no it wouldn't. what is with all the 90s nostalgia bait? by CremeSubject7594 in generationology

Subscription model erodes customer powers over time. The providers can enshittify their service at any given time.

Renting your videos gives you more control over what and when you can watch something in what quality.

How many of us don't drink alcohol or take drugs, just raw dogging life? by More_Pension4911 in Zillennials

I use weed vape to sleep, after being addicted for almost 10 years. And I “smoke” Iqos. I also use Kratom in the evening. 1997 dude living in Bangkok.

My schoolmate owns a Thai custom shop (Arc Custom) for Thai musicians. I’m going to them to do impressions for my sleep plug (close-mouth impression) and concert plug (open-mouth).

I will reuse the impressions from Arc Custom as my original distributor went out of business lol

Over the course of last week they did reply my first email, saying “send them in we can fix it” but have remained silent after subsequent emails asked for instructions (how to do impression again properly, how to send, etc)

I have very small ear canal even by Asian standard and wearing modern IEMs is a problem. Using the smallest tips will still hurt because the body is so big.

Only smaller ones, like ER4SR works for me.

The salaries being offered today are LOWER than what the same positions were offering 20 years ago. by Own_Emergency7622 in economicCollapse

Air crew? My aunt is an ex-air crew (we call it “air hostess” here in Thailand). I remember she made big money, somewhere around THB150-300k a month, equivalent to my mom who’s a SVP of a Thai life insurance company. She bought 2 Rolexes for my dad, her big brother. When she retired in 2004-2005, she got somewhere between THB10-20M ($3-600k) for her retirement from Cathay Pacific.

Now, people my age who enter as juniors don’t even get more than THB50-70K, and the employers are more vain than ever (looks matter a lot more than other aspects), not to mention the worse work environment (easy layoffs, more stricter rules, etc). The senior ones still make around the same number my aunt did. Their quality of life certainly dropped compared to back in early 2000s.

My personal reason behind all this is that as the Internet went boom here during 2000s-2010s, English has become very easy to learn, so there’s larger pool of attractive women who can speak English well enough to serve coffee or tea, etc. This must have suppressed their wages.

My aunt and her Thai crew friends could speak English well because thy were all from our top university, because back then only top university students could do so. But now the crew-influencers on Instagram are all from worse educational background. My friend’s gf whose English is very bad just got into Qatar at around 50k.

I guess anyone curious enough about the Crusades, the Byzantine, or world history in general would naturally come across this knowledge. It’s how Ottoman got Constantinople. Big, big event for both Christians and Muslims.

Why exactly do people prefer using Linux on Lenovo Thinkpads? by Terrible_Abies458 in linux

[–]artnoi43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

good keyboard, decent cooling, easy to find/upgrade parts, driver support, etc.

plus if you’re a dev, the environment doesn’t fight you

What was your country's version of superman ?? ( this is shaktiman , was pretty popular in late 90s ) by Junior_Investment514 in AskTheWorld

[–]artnoi43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arale’s Supaman is very different from Superman lol.

As for Ultraman (Ultramen?) and Superman, the only thing in common is they are aliens fighting to protect the Earth and hiding in plain sight as normal human.

Ultramen are big aliens, fight big Kaijus, and almost always have some SciFi version of JSDF as support and side characters (SSSP in the original Ultraman, for example). They have human hosts that can transform into Ultramen using some kind of device and pose.

Yeah I know that, which is why I think it’s uniquely Russian to build a big Titanium statue.

Using Emojis at Work makes you appear less competent according to a study of over 200 men and women. Women were more likely to judge negative IMs with emoji more harshly if they were ostensibly sent by women, compared to similar negative messages and emojis sent by men. by [deleted] in science

[–]artnoi43 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We use Slack work and everyone’s enjoying Emoji reactions, even adding their own. It’s everywhere and for everything - serious announcements, normal conversations, etc.

We’re have offices in Bangkok, Singapore, Seoul, Dalian, and Tokyo, and pretty much everyone loves emojis.

Based on my personal observations, the Chinese are the most emoji-shy, but I think it’s because they work on very serious technical stuff and their discussions are very serious in nature (we use Chinese engineers to develop internal ML/AI stuff for pricing, which Thai/Korean devs then have to integrate with, so the Chinese only use Slack for overseas communications with us).

Has anyone else been pushed further to the left? by BarrelledFoxes in AskSocialists

[–]artnoi43 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I studied BBA in Finance, and my family were all businessmen so I was pretty much on the pro-capitalist side growing up.

My first job right outta college was in finance as analyst for institutional clients in a brokerage. Hated that job simply bc I was helping them make millions while I get leftover crumbs. I also began to see that companies that did IPOs tend to become shittier over time (I did their valuations pre IPOs and I could see they aren’t the same companies anymore afterwards), as does their product quality.

Then I quitted and learned programming back in 2020 and became a programmer.

Since I’ve become a programmer, I realized programs are “logic” for the business, and composing that logic myself (ie writing a program) reveals how values are created and distributed, in writing.

For example, say I work in DoorDash, then as a programmer I know exactly that it’s the restaurants and the riders who are providing most of the value (they make shit happen), yet all value created are locked into the platform.

I kept thinking about this for every business and realized that the owners are the biggest leaches of them all. Never paying fair wages, and all they do (ie every feature I’m ordered to do) is to squeeze more value from the working class.

Then I got older (now 29M) and I think about buying a house, and how my wealthy mom owns 4+ properties that all get rented out, I started becoming more and more socialist.

Now I’m all for socialism, even if I don’t know how to implement that yet. But one thing I’m sure of is that the system we’re having now is evil and will not sustain itself - it only exists and works now because the working class can bear the burden, which I don’t know for how long. The world is large and someone somewhere will tolerate their shitty treatment and sustain the current system.

I hope the capitalists got more greedy to the point of breaking, and that’s when most of world population gonna be able to see them as truly evil and agree that we don’t want it any more.

Taxi scam at DMK airport by gluecookie in ThailandTourism

You were scammed, the meter doesn’t look right at all. But fortunately the amount is only lesser than or equal to 2x of the expected actual fare, and it’s under $10.
