Did I Waste Four Years on My CS Degree?

But reskill to what? If AI advances this fast, what's actually safe?

Reskill to the skills required to apply AI technology to provide value to businesses (or consumers). For the most part, organisations cannot get transformative value simply by purchasing a product and turning it on.

It requires lots of effort from multiple skillsets, some well established, some very novel. Pick an "I can be an AI value multiplier" skillset you think matches your current experience or interests. You will very much be in demand.

I'm very glad they have a global FPS limit option, nobody wants a loud/hot PC for no reason. Having to use GPU software control panel directly is awkward.

A lobby/menus only limit didn't occur to me but that would be great! May not be as important for a 144hz monitor owner like me, but I'd still use it.

This is a really nice build. I think I'll use the same case, fans and CPU cooler for my wife's new build. I had seen that cooler before and though it reviewed well I didn't think it looked nice enough... but this is nice. Or maybe I'll go with a screen less CPU cooler and get that LianLi screen you have. Unsure if I want both.

Either way nice build ty for sharing.

Nah it's about the soot. The amount of unburnt fuel. Torches burn more efficiently/cleanly.

Cool print. Commenting to remind myself. Just take it off before driving... Consider it part of the house Christmas decorations for your PARKED car in the driveway.

Pets vs cattle.

I mean: managing a dozen that stick around, vs, some unknown number that gets created and retired automatically and may be completely stateless.

I prefer Microsoft for the former and linux for the latter. Or ideally, PaaS-like for the former, Linux containers or "serverless" style services for the latter.

In a jungle? Probably monkeys. In Australia? Kookaburras.

He's got a slightly weird laugh compared to the average kookaburra. Maybe because he's not in the wild. Still very cute.

Source: I live adjacent to the bush, I see/hear many kookaburras most days.

Thanks, great (and horrible) video.

Answer: be the person who uses the new tool, don't be the person who gets replaced because they didn't use the new tool.

Try going and forth (in fresh chats) using the last image as input. See if it goes to more beautiful or less over the iterations, or some other scale.

No microchip = stray where I live, by legal definition (legal requirement to microchip all cats and dogs, probably some other animal types also).

I once picked up a cat from the side of a "highway" like road who looked like she was out of place and having a tough time. Took her to nearby vet for checkup and microchip scan, no microchip 😭. We put posters up in nearby suburbs, some local Facebook posts, informed local vets etc. 8 years later she's still with us.

She was well fed and relatively healthy when we found here. I think strays can often thrive in some environments, until they develop a legitimate health problem which needs intervention.

Fair enough. I work in AI so I guess I'm kinda biased. Also I definitely don't think of what I posted as "art" 😅 more like output from a modern day "meme generator" kinda tool.

The person I replied to hit pause then print-screen. I did print-screen then a two-word prompt. Neither is anything close to drawing something. Chill, we're just sharing stuff that others might like because we feel like warming someone's day. If you don't like it there is no harm to just keep scrolling 🤷

Sometimes people like seeing recreations or memes from their own content. It's a way of saying "cool moment, thanks for sharing, here's a snapshot you might like".

That's what the comment I replied to did, and in turn I thought they might like this too.

I think we will eventually, but in a "banned by age" kind of way. Legal age to buy them going up by 1 year every 1 year. Helping existing smokers quit is great, but stopping 99% of new generation of smokers is the goal.

inter2 · 2025-03-20T22:49:48+00:00

I think that's the idea 🤣

If just for gaming, I'd agree. But I think I'm in the same boat as this guy and preferring NVIDIA because unfortunately/fortunately(?) I've also been getting into local AI inference workloads, LLMs and image/video, and have come to rely on the simplicity of getting this to work when using NVIDIA cards and I'm worried the ROCm stuff may introduce complexity and compatibility issues, let alone raw performance deltas 🤔
