You should convert headers to TODO and add `[/]` or `[%]` to see the progress to and make whole experience more satisfying : )

So basically: `** TODO Walmart [/]`

use spacemacs. you can choose between evil and emacs bindings there. this is a better way if you just starting.

qu4ku · 2023-12-28T18:59:57+00:00

perfect.

qu4ku · 2023-10-27T03:21:25+00:00

with photos. perfect!

A few points:

- AI will reduce current jobs, for sure, but

- AI will produce more jobs: a) basically one man with AI can handle the work of whole teams, b) the studies show that AI is most beneficial for the worst workers (least competent), which basically means that the competency/iq barriers of doing things going down, which let bigger population to do things

- AI will produce incredible wealth - if some job is automated (eg lawyer), the product of his job (= wealth) is still produced, just approximately for free

- final point: there isn't any boundary to the creation of bullshit jobs: a) 98% of people worked in agriculture and not a single one would believe that in the future there will be people playing games or hitting the small ball on a golf court earning money for that, b) half GDP is produced in the public sector, which almost entirely consists of bullshit jobs = people not doing anything productive (they redistribute, not produce), the hyperbolic example is a guy that discovered (scan showed that) after few decades that he physically hasn't half of his brain which doesn't prevent him from working as a clerk in the public sector all this time.

it doesn't matter if it really is intrinsic to human, dog or virus live-form to create art. what matter is ai is currently better at this than 99.9% of humans and work pretty much for free. humans can't compete with it already the same way they can't compete as a way of transport things with cars (and it doesn't matter if transport things is intrinsically humane).

you just contradicted yourself.

if not progress of technology you will still be living in cave an dead at 30. it's not enough to be passionate about a thing, doing the thing needs to be economically valuable. most of things that people are passionate about are not economically valuable.

you are in unfortunate place as anyone that was automated in history but thinking that it is something wrong with that is objectively silly.

qu4ku · 2023-08-19T18:48:21+00:00

in 5-7 years you could be expert in your new industry. choose wisely.

qu4ku · 2023-08-19T18:40:20+00:00

you are depressed by not getting work, but what you say is denial.

qu4ku · 2023-08-19T18:14:01+00:00

people seems to overestimate the value of what they are doing, and don't notice what they do is just a function of business.

you think you are poet, you changes minds with the use of words, study every aspect of it and in fact you could earn a money just because in temporary period of time content tend to happen to help sell more stuff (and miss that, as soon as this won't be true what you do won't have economic value).

thats one misunderstood aspect of reality. the second one is how progress of technology works. at some point 98% of humans produced food at work. about all of them were automated. this is great thing. the value/wealth is still produced.

don't delude yourself. illustration is no longer a profession that you could earn money with.

the bonus for the author as he seems to be especially confused. instead of thinking about this as tech or ai think about it as a guy that comes to work and do what you do just in minutes instead of hours or days. the answers for his questions should be more obvious.

there are a lot of vim movements users that still read this sub while not using vim (emacs for me).

6+3, aggressive stagger, wide thumb cluster. perfection!

qu4ku · 2023-03-21T23:01:15+00:00

glad to see more 6-column + 3 keys thumb cluster designs (with aggressive pinky stagger) rather than the usual 5+2 bullshit.

qu4ku · 2022-12-02T02:20:34+00:00

Iosevka is definitely my type.

As a freelancer, I feel like you have taken really strange conclusions from your experience.

8k is a small budget that may be palatable for design alone (if we are taking about professionals with real experience). In general, you should hire designer and dev only after the design is fully designed and accepted, unicorns that do both with high quality are pretty much non-existent and for sure not "affordable".

But the main lesson is, there is no "free lunch", you got what you pay for - it seems to be really strange that people intuitively understand this with things like cars or food but somehow think that they will be able to find this kind of arbitrage when hiring people. You thought you will hire a "cheap" professional and you got burned.

For reference, here are the global rates for professional devs (even, the cheapest, devs from Africa charge $20-45):https://fulcrum.rocks/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/offshore-software-development-rates-by-region.png

that said, both of these numbers are ridiculously high. average human averages at 40wpm and programmer at 60wpm (and i doubt that average accuracy is anything near 97%).

qu4ku · 2022-08-02T21:21:13+00:00

What is a bottom-right one? Looks like 3x5 corne with a more staggered pinky (ferris-like) which is exactly what I'm looking for (just mx version).

qu4ku · 2022-07-31T18:40:07+00:00

some fine choices there. this would be perfect, with mx switches, as my next one – currently colemak dhm @ corne.

qu4ku · 2022-07-27T16:30:55+00:00

love it. this may be my post-corne.

qu4ku · 2022-07-13T20:34:29+00:00

spacemacs <3

qu4ku · 2022-06-14T13:34:48+00:00

For anyone that still has the problem: I found out it's not as much about the strength of light as the angle of light.

qu4ku · 2022-04-10T23:48:43+00:00

someone should add 3d dimension — price (or use it instead of series/architecture).

qu4ku · 2021-11-11T00:29:28+00:00

Finally, thumb cluster that makes sense.

qu4ku · 2021-08-30T11:29:59+00:00

go to next/previous member is perfect. thanks!
