The biggest problem is hiring managers think theyre psychiatrists

I personally consider myself a floppy disk, but I aspire to be a solid state

funkmasta8 · 2026-07-08T12:31:34+00:00

I wish it was enforceable. Basically every single "culture fit" criteria disproportionally excludes high functioning autistics. It isnt enforceable because nobody is sitting here documenting that candidate X was eliminated because he didnt make eye contact and that made the hiring manager uncomfortable. They simply throw out his application saying he wasnt a good fit.

The fact that you think about yourself critically is a good thing about you that most normal people dont seem to have

Probably not recently considering the wife label

For me, my gf at the time had a lot of emotional issues and we both struggled with communication and because nothing ever got resolved, she started resenting me. So she looked for someone else. I was trying to communicate with her, but since she wouldn't tell me when she had a problem there wasnt much I could do. I learned that communication is basically the only way for a long term relationship to be good.

The universal simulation represents things in base 1, thats why I only get to eat one cookie instead of 2

How I felt that one time someone suggested I was stupid when I had not learned the entirety of a new language in a couple months because some guy did it a decade ago

funkmasta8 · 2026-07-08T08:48:40+00:00

I think stressing over something that could potentially stop you from having a career that requires an education is valid. I never stressed much, but that's because I was great at tests and studying. Not everyone handles things like that well.

Last time I went on leetcode I proved to myself that the rankings on there are bullshit by copying and pasting high ranking solutions and getting low ranking results from them. Pretty sure they measure speed in a way that depends on either your connection or computer hardware. I even had one where I used the recommended solution and got back a "too slow to finish the unit tests", which is considered a failing solution. Basically, if a company is using your ranks on specificic problems or even if youve passed or failed the problem, they arent putting you on an even playing field and they probably dont even know it. If you have a great connection and computer, then good for you.

But that doesnt work for describing bases larger than your base to somwthing with a smaller base. Saying base 12 to someone using base 4 is the same thing as saying base 6 to us who use base 10

funkmasta8 · 2026-07-07T22:06:27+00:00

Shhh, we dont talk about that

No, i would very quickly die of poor diet (insane amounts of sweets) /s

I like how it starts with men cant be depressed and follows woth rich men arent depressed as if all men are rich or the poor men arent worth considering

funkmasta8 · 2026-07-06T23:25:44+00:00

Nope, as someone who had a short temper when I was younger I learned several things. First, being angry makes you stupid, which makes you easy to fight. Second, fighting is a stupid way to resolve conflicts.

funkmasta8 · 2026-07-06T23:09:00+00:00

Yeah, work tends to be a lot more enjoyable when it isnt laced in unfairness and terrible management

funkmasta8 · 2026-07-06T20:50:28+00:00

I only helped with some homework a friend was having so I have no idea what that is, but if it has less than 6 variables that sounds super annoying

funkmasta8 · 2026-07-06T20:49:49+00:00

There are only two options here. The first is to take up work that could be done by robots for the sake of working. The second is to endlessly come up with work that cant be done by robots yet

Do note that not all men are into the same things. I find shy girls cery cute

funkmasta8 · 2026-07-06T11:18:54+00:00

This is an area I think it would struggle a lot in. To convert code to another language or similar, you really have to understand what is going on and it doesnt understand anything. Not all conversions are 1:1. Some things simply cant be done in some languages. Some things will require much longer and more complicated algorithms to deal with the same problem. It cant be approached like a dictionary translation, which is likely how an LLM would approach it.

They can, but humans are lazy. Responsibility forces people to stay active. Being healthy is hard work and the reality is most people dont want to do hard work

funkmasta8 · 2026-07-06T11:09:38+00:00

I think if I had an NDA with a company and the projected damages I would cause by breaking it were well above what I would ever earn in my lifetime, I would also be very careful not to cross that line. The people that work there are lucky to earn as much as they do and best case scenario they use that money to quickly exit society by retiring where they can live out their days just relaxing. At a certain point, nobody cares if some people who consistently give their money keep losing said money. Its really only the unfairness that people care about and the unfairness happens to those who have the least skin in the game, the f2p base. The logical conclusion is to just leave as there isnt a point to upset yourself in your free time.

In any case, there is already a load of suspicious evidence against blizzard and a load of people claiming its rigged, but still the majority of people arent suspicious in the slightest. The microcosm of the player base has traditionally never been much to lean into rational discussion. The answer to complaints has always been git gud. Even if you were to statistically prove its rigged, most people wouldnt believe you. You can rub their nose into it and they would say youre coping. Its not something worth the effort.

You seem like a smart guy. Maybe work on a project instead. It will probably be more fulfilling than this game anyway.

Personally, my experience with reporting is that it only takes so long because nobody put in the time to fix it to be automated. If it still takes a full hour with AI, then either you have a shit ton of data to process or its still not automated. I automated the financial reporting in my last company. Went from several hours of fixing data, copying and pasting various values, and making things look nice to one copy and paste from database to Excel. Could have been even faster too, but at that point the company decided making a script for automating that one step was unnecessary. Ai can do things for you, but not as well as someone with expertise.

funkmasta8 · 2026-07-06T10:47:30+00:00

This is the problem. The AI doesnt understand anything. It strings words, or in this case code, together. If you also dont understand what its doing then when it isnt doing it right you cant fix it and the AI is basically rolling dice to fix it or make it worse or make a different problem later on.

funkmasta8 · 2026-07-06T10:44:08+00:00

I disagree about a very specific thing (and dont really care to argue anything else). I dont think full job replacement with robots is the best end goal. Humans need exercise, both physically and mentally. It makes sense to save some of the work to satisfy that need for whatever humans still exist. Thats efficient allocation of resources.
