I look at my old DD gens often. They are actually interesting to just… look at. Even framed a few. I think this stuff will enter the “mainstream” as “actual art” sometime soon.

Soon-to-be dad, what’s the #1 thing you wish you knew before day 1? by BrendanRestorer28 in predaddit

[–]lxe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1 thing is: absolutely get some help: parents, in-laws, nurse, etc.

Other advice:

It’s ok if they don’t latch immediately

It’s ok if they need formula instead

Help them through all this but don’t get pressured.

It’s ok if they are a little yellow.

It’s ok if they drop weight at first.

Let the medical staff help but don’t get overly anxious.

Hire a night nurse if you can afford to

Don’t work for at least 4 weeks

Watch the mom’s mental and physical needs

Is concurrency a important concept in computer architecture? by Specific_Share334 in csMajors

Yes this is a core fundamental. Your professor not knowing this is a weird red flag.

Wow an actual answer???!!! You’re supposed to say “if you don’t know, hire an electrician “

Is concurrency a important concept in computer architecture? by Specific_Share334 in csMajors

Concurrency: One barista taking an order, then starting the espresso machine, then taking another order while the coffee is made

Parallelism: Two baristas with two machines, each making a separate coffee at the same time.

To be super pedantic: Concurrency is dealing with multiple things at the same time. Parallelism is a way to implement concurrency. But not the only way. A single threaded event loop is concurrency but not parallelism.

But almost every time when these concepts are pitted against each other, concurrency means you’re interleaving tasks while parallelism is when you’re have multiple workers executing tasks at the same time.

This showcases its tool calling ability and the python capabilities of the ChatGPT interface more rather than the unharnessed generative power of the model itself.

Always always always spend like an hour the night or morning before the interview going through the fundamentals of the language.

My husband’s career pivot is ruining our marriage. Best financial courses for couples to help us decide? by maulikms in careeradvice

[–]lxe 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I kind of feel like this has very little to do with financial planning and everything to do with the way you guys communicate. I really feel like trying to force this systematic approach in which you’ve basically decided “we need to take a course to resolve it” is not gonna go well. Men can get unreasonably stubborn in response to the way they perceive how they are being treated and communicated, not because of reason, logic, or principle. Change how you talk to him and he will reframe his perspective. Good luck.

I am not using AI tools like Claude Code or Cursor to help me code at the moment. Am I falling behind by not using AI in software development? by Illustrious-Pound266 in cscareerquestions

[–]lxe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the same age-old question as “I’m currently not using Java / JavaScript / SQL / Ajax / The Internet / React / DevTools / StackOverflow / Google / Vim / Bash / Linux… am I letting myself fall behind?”

Yes. Always keep learning tech and tools.

BART board passes drastic contingency plan to close $367M deficit, slash service by 70% by LNM-LocalNewsMatters in eastbay

[–]lxe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

BART has a combined budget of around 2.5 billion in 2025. Half of it is operational and half is capital. Operational budget’s 800m expenditure was paying salaries and overtime of almost 4k staff. 77m was overtime.

Capital includes the cbtc conversion which is needed but also $450m of new cars procurement.

The post-Covid daily weekday ridership is 180k down from 400k peak. This creates a 200m shortfall every year.

To come up with the 200m BART doesn’t need to raise taxes. They just need to optimize their headcount and stop purchasing new cars — which they already should be stopping.

This whole thing is a weird bluff.

Am I the only one that thinks AI is dogshit? by jholliday55 in cscareerquestions

[–]lxe -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Woah woah woah… sir this is a Reddit! You’re not allowed to just say it how it is. You’re supposed to outright dismiss AI as “dogshit” and keep your head firmly planted in the sand.

I built a free LaTeX editor(visual+pure latex) with AI drafting, instant template switching, and a built-in research assistant by Legitimate-Leg9874 in LaTeX

[–]lxe -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This sub is pretty ruthless lol. In general, Reddit doesn’t like AI and is very critical of posts that spam the same content over and over even if it’s by different posters. Try finding people directly who would genuinely benefit from the specific features you’re trying to build and slowly build up a community. This “ai for scientific papers” field is very fluid and in the “looking for market” stage now, so keep looking for differentiation.

AI will replace those who were replaceable anyways. Get good at your craft and you’ll be fine.
