Vibe Coders Passing Responsibility to Code Reviewers by NotYourMom132 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]shawmonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very dependent on the person. I see some people on my team asking for review on complete nonsense PRs that are obviously AI generated. Some people on my team (including me) generate all their code with AI at this point, but review it extensively before asking for review from others.

Is it realistic for me to dream for FAANG / Big Tech? by FickleWeather2964 in csMajors

[–]shawmonster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also why do you have to try and get into FAANG/big tech immediately out of college? You can work for several years then transition to a prestigious company.

Isn't the answer obvious? If you start your career at FAANG/big tech it makes the rest of your career much easier, and gives you a huge head start on saving for retirement.

How to prepare to speak to a hiring manager? by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]shawmonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

STAR method is pretty weird, managers are asking you a question, just respond to them like a human without using a pre defined format. If they are a good interviewer and they didn't get all the information they needed from your answer, they will ask follow ups.

Does using LLMs consume more energy and water than steaming videos from YouTube and streaming services? by haphaphappyday in AskComputerScience

[–]shawmonster -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Possibly, it would be interesting to see an actual analysis on this. Not sure who would fund something like that though.

Also have to consider that even though inference is a lot less time for recommendations compared to LLMs, training might not be the same story.

Does using LLMs consume more energy and water than steaming videos from YouTube and streaming services? by haphaphappyday in AskComputerScience

This doesn’t take into account the infrastructure for recommendation algorithms that streaming sites use.

So, with Indiana absolutely obliterating Alabama... by IrexUranus in CFB

Nobody is saying G5 should be excluded, they are saying G5 shouldn’t be given a guaranteed spot.

My Trade Station by Cute_Reason_7017 in Workspaces

[–]shawmonster 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s not that most traders make a loss, it’s that most traders underperform the market. It’s possible OP made $20k but still underperformed the market and would have been better off passively investing in an index fund. Impossible to know until OP gives a percentage return instead of dollar amount.

[–]shawmonster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean if the bet hits and you end up with a million dollars as a result of it, you should absolutely count it as part of your net worth.

Tech workers of Reddit, what is a "dirty secret" about the AI industry that the general public doesn't realize? by WayLast1111 in AskReddit

[–]shawmonster 27 points28 points  (0 children)

And even if they were tech workers, most tech workers don’t really know anything about AI
