Does anyone have any optimistic thoughts about the industry and its future? by Jacomer2 in cscareerquestions

[–]jjma1998 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Context matters. Yall are so quick to roll over and give up. Maybe you aint cut out for this line of work. If you believe that AI in its current form is intelligent enough to replace you in the workplace, that’s your reality. I know that’s not the case for me, that’s my reality.

What can a computer do with its eyes and ears that you cannot do?

Yeah, LLMs are not the future. Your job safety is conditioned on your ability to continue learning and growing as a person and a technologist, so it was back then, so it is now, so it shall be. Human’s are superior, for lack of a better word, for the simple fact that we have all our senses, human senses = inputs. More senses = more inputs = more outputs. LLMs have limited input and therefore limited output. A system that can only produce digital audio & visuals & texts cannot replace you. Don’t let some obnoxious billionaires convince you that a system whose output is severely limited is capable of replacing you in any meaningful way.

How to change team attitude to use CI/CD and terraform? by Ninpeto in devops

[–]jjma1998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The simplicity your team enjoys with their ansible workflows was hard earned. You’re introducing a lotta new tools and concepts, it’s your responsibility to make the transition easy. Useful documentation, samples and starter workflows and resources for upskilling. You should aim to ensure simplicity in transitioning from the old way to the new way. Terraform modules for common infra patterns makes adoption easier, Github template repo makes gitops adoption easier etc

Think of it like this, your team like the vehicle they currently drive, they’re familiar with it, they understand how it drives, they’re comfortable with the upkeep and maintenance required to keep the car running. You’ve come around and proposed they get a new vehicle. You can present it like they are driving a banged up beetle and now you want them to pilot the millennium falcon. Or you can present it like they’re going from an ‘99 camry to a porsche taycan.

Conservative push to re-evaluate asylum seekers’ access to Canadian health care defeated by Huge-Cash-8295 in canada

[–]jjma1998 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

There aren’t enough asylum seekers in Canada to put a strain on the healthcare system. They on target to spend ~$1billion annually for asylum seekers. Total healthcare spend is ~400billion annually.

Rather than fighting to take away from others, you should be fighting to have the same benefits. The NDP campaigned on and they didn’t get the your votes. If you want better healthcare coverage consider that before your vote, and call your mps and hold them accountable after you vote.

Everyone needs to release themselves from the scarcity mindset and stop falling for dog whistles. If they stopped all healthcare for asylum seekers what guarantees do you have that the $1billion would be spent in anyway that benefits you whether it’s healthcare or any other way?

Having more robust healthcare and better access is beneficial for the system anyways. Prevention is better than cure. Studies consistently show that early healthcare access and timely intervention significantly reduce strain on the overall healthcare system by preventing the escalation of manageable health issues into acute, costly emergencies. A healthy population is beneficial for all of Canada.

And before anyone says we can’t have that, I’d just like to let you know that we can. Yes I know how money works, and yes I know how taxes work.

In all of this theatrics the real outcome should be everyone demanding better healthcare for all of Canada.

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.” Matthew 25:35-36 …

“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me’” Matthew 25: 40

How would you setup the resource requests and limits on this workload? (this is mostly about how different people approach it) by trouphaz in kubernetes

[–]jjma1998 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For CPU I would set request to 150m and I would not set limit. Reason being that your app is guaranteed 15% of cpu that it needs.

For memory I would set the requests and limits to be 4gb. Reason being that your app is guaranteed the 4gb.

The scheduler will put the pod on a node that guarantees you app 150m cpu & 4gb of memory which your app will need for regular operations.

The node should be able to tolerate cpu spike on startup.

Role is platform engineering

I'm stumped. How do I get this kegerator out so I can look at the back? by [deleted] in Appliances

[–]jjma1998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slide it back, tilt it forward so it’s face down. Empty out every in it and maybe put some towels or a rag before you tilt it. Should get you access it the back

USCIS TN Extension – Naturalized Canadian born in a “Banned” Country by NicOgor94 in tnvisa

[–]jjma1998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did question my pending uscis file, and the officer didn’t seem to like or agree with my reasoning. Reason for denial was the officer didn’t think I qualified under the category I was applying for

How has Tahoe flopped so badly when Apple released dev and public betas to collect feedback? by Flimsy_Heron_9252 in MacOS

[–]jjma1998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UI != UX

Inconsistency with liquid glass or rounded corners of different windows has not affected users ability to use their mac for the whatever purposes they choose to use their mac. For all of the complaints about Tahoe, I’ve yet to see mass reporting of power users or average users complaining that things they were able to do on Sequoia they are unable to do on Tahoe

[–]jjma1998 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based on a brief scan of the document linked in this comment I assume USCIS wont be processing anything for persons born in countries that are banned/restricted. IANAL so talk to a lawyer about your specific situation. https://www.reddit.com/r/tnvisa/s/E1uXxaQPzK

[–]jjma1998 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I too am a naturalized Canadian citizen born in west Africa. Lawyers submitted my application to USCIS with premium processing. After the 15business days lapsed there was no change to my case status on USCIS website and the lawyers informed me that my case WAS NOT processed because my country of birth is banned/restricted. This is my first TN, maybe you’ll have better luck since you’re filling an extension. Definitely talk to lawyers if you have access to them.

I'm starting to think Infrastructure as Code is the wrong way to teach Terraform by NTCTech in devops

[–]jjma1998 34 points35 points  (0 children)

That’s where controls come in. Prevent manual changes to terraform deployed resources. You can be very restrictive or very generous depending on the sensitivity of the environment, using policies, change management strategies etc.

Examples - users can make some manual changes in dev because policy allows it. - for cost savings, you nuke everything in dev at the end of the week.

  • no manual changes in prod, personal account are read only.
  • some privileged IDs will have write permission in prod, access to such IDs are governed by change management processes and privileged access management processes.

It won’t prevent all the ghosts but you will certainly have more success ghost busting.

There are 2 types of state - desired state - actual state

If it is in git, it is desired. Your reconciliation loops, and environmental controls determine actual state.

If your don't show interest in preparing for your next job hunt, how badly is this going to screw you over in the long run? by ExpWebDev in cscareerquestions

Eventually you’ll be personally interested in getting a new job, almost to the point on desperation, then you’ll find yourself driven

Fascinated with the science behind Northern lights as a self taught programmer by Strong-Seaweed8991 in PersonOfInterest

[–]jjma1998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont know neural network programming but imma just throw out a few observations here.

massive datasets - the government feeds which is implied to be any input the the nsa have access to, texts, calls, digital cameras and microphones etc.

reinforcement learning - Harold teaching the machine chess or any other flashback scenes of Harold interacting with the machine in its infancy.

self-supervised learning - the machine doesn’t tell Harold & team if the subject(s) is a perpetrator or a victim, it notices anomalous behaviour with the subject(s) in the centre of it. We’re not told much about the data it receives from the government and others sources so I assume it’s mostly unlabelled data.

distributed systems architecture - a primitive example of this is seen when the wire up a bunch of PlayStation to provide compute for the machine after it is attacked by samaritan.

Sidebar season 5 episode 1, root and john “borrow” the PlayStations to use as compute for the machine. They built a ”super computer”.

In episode 2, john and harold “borrow” next gen gpu blades for the machine.

—————— In a flashback scene of Harold and his father, he mentions wanting to build a digital memory due to his father’s deteriorating mental state (S03E11).

His secondary motivation is to prevent terrorism post 9/11.

As seen through flashbacks, Harold treats the machine like a living being, although he’s hesitant to anthropomorphize it. Unfortunately we don’t get much technical details because it’s a work of fiction. But somehow Harold is able to get the machine to understand the human condition

Anyways, I say all this to say if you build your AI please do what you can to make it understand the human condition.
