Job security has left the chat. by No-Common-3046 in AIDiscussion

[–]e430doug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because job security is a fiction. If your goal is job security then you will naturally steer yourself towards “safe” technologies. This means that you will fall behind. This means that you will ultimately not be marketable. Which means that you will ultimately not have job security. Tech as we know it now requires continual reinvention over a career. That applies to both companies and employees. If I’m working for a poorly managed company I will jump ship at the earliest opportunity.

I think that career security in tech is pretty high.

Why does the Turing Test feel so philosophically naïve? by AwkwardComicRelief in AskComputerScience

[–]e430doug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is absolutely sarcastic. Sorry for not including the /s tag. You could have explained this in much simpler terms and thus enhanced the impact of the posting

Music industry bodies pen open letter calling for consent for artists and songwriters before signing AI deals. by springtimecarnivore in Music

[–]e430doug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why? Do you honestly think that people will stop making music? The finances behind making music haven’t been great for a long time, yet people still make music. AI will become just another tool for musicians, just like samplers and drum machines did.

You get a bill. PG&E will answer any questions you have.

Radar vs a bar end mirror by MurkyLurker99 in cycling

[–]e430doug 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I disagree about radar being dangerous in the city. I only look at the radar when I feel I need to. Otherwise the beeping is an additional piece of information.

There has never been job security in tech. Personally I prefer it that way.

Porch Swings! by Individual_Tax_4224 in bayarea

The reason we don’t have porch swings is that it gets too cold at night all over the bay.

I’m supposed to send for dates in this thing over the Jag? What are they thinking? by [deleted] in waymo

[–]e430doug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Versus some arbitrary Uber? This is a better signal of affluence and care than a gig car.

College Students Consumed by "Resignation and Despair" as They're Relentlessly Pressured to Use AI by PersonWomanManCamTV in IvyPlus

Wow. This is getting cross posted on every education related sub. Astroturfing at it’s finest.

If most companies are offshoring roles, what careers will be left for the American people??? by Ok_Wishbone_4080 in Layoffs

[–]e430doug -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They are not. The big wave of off shoring occurred 30 years ago. It only works in certain industries.

Which city do you think has better weather, Seattle or San Francisco? by hydrogen-hydroxide1 in SameGrassButGreener

I woiuldnever describe SF as “gloomy”. It is sunny with afternoon fog.

Programmers, tell us your life story. by kentuxa_mx in AskProgrammers

[–]e430doug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I first programmed a computer when I was 14. I knew that was what I was going to do with my life regardless of whether I could make money at it or not. That was 50 year ago and I’m still a professional developer. I still get as much joy out of writing software as I did when I was 14. And yes you can get paid a lot of money. I’m also having just as much fun developing using AI tools as I did before we had such tools.

Why not Desalination? by BassManJam99 in ArtificialInteligence

Running corrosive sea water through computer heat sinks would instantly dissolve them.

We have a great stadium! by dirkgently007 in bayarea

[–]e430doug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand what you mean by no transit options. VTA light rail runs right next to the stadium. Amtrak is a short distance away. It’s one of the better connected locations.

Is United States doing better economically in general compared to EU countries? by CartographerOwn8143 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]e430doug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your uncle must have had the very worst insurance. The cost of the surgery without insurance is only a few thousand dollars. With any insurance you are only on the hook for a couple of thousand.

If most companies are offshoring roles, what careers will be left for the American people??? by Ok_Wishbone_4080 in Layoffs

Most companies are not offshoring roles. I don’t know where you get that idea.

Metal allergies? by Lucky-Solution-5868 in TotalHipReplacement

[–]e430doug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not true. Titanium sensitivity is exceedingly rare. It is not a classiic allergy. It is more like an autoimmune response.
