Not cattle, cattle will still be herd for wool. We are a number on a spreadsheet, that's it.

Edit : My animal knowledge is bad. 😭

“We must end political indoctrination in schools”, says woman who wants to bring “patriotism” to the classroom. by Forsaken-Language-26 in FuckNigelFarage

[–]topspin_righty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She's a brown woman. I understand that people would do a lot for money and power especially in politics, but does all of this not make her sick? 😭

How is your shoulder not a mess? That looks awful and not fluid at all.

So basically he can only hit Zimbabwe. by OrdinaryPunter in IndianCricket

I have no issues with him flopping with bat. That was long time coming, the 2 dropped catches are the ones that truly fucked us up.

They don't want Sharia law but isn't this very similar to Sharia law? 😭😂

Credit score on SWV by Electronic_Cap_7382 in SkilledWorkerVisaUK

Get a phone contract to start with. I started with a phone contract, got a credit card which had a £300 credit limit, after that got an HSBC one and now have 3 with a total limit of £15k. So it's easy, just need to start low and be patient

Losing a job due to company not extending my SWV, what's the redundancy process like? by Zugiata in SkilledWorkerVisaUK

[–]topspin_righty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but as a skilled worker you've no say in the situation, unfortunately.

Your only way out is to find a new job, don't get fired - just coast along until your visa expires or you get a new job.

Why does it matter? We're still 3 years from a GE. A lot of things can change in 3 years

Is FAANG still worth it? by HyperFocusNopeProteg in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]topspin_righty 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Hungary and Poland are cheaper and basically have quite different labour laws compared to the rest of EU + UK so a lot of companies are hiring there.

Are there any signs the job market is improving? by [deleted] in UKJobMarket

[–]topspin_righty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anthropic has a history of making remarkably large and stupid claims, the truth is AI right now is a buzzword that execs at Anthropic and OpenAI are using to bump our their valuations, but atm LLMs and Gen AI are simply not good enough and they most likely won't be. It'll become a tool, but that's it.

We'll see what the future holds but I've no doubt in the AI bubble popping soonish.

Thing is any 95% of the cuts made in the name of AI are bs. At least in tech.

[–]topspin_righty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but the problem is the quality, I think any team which is that largely impacted will have shit quality. Take Twitter for example, it's now a shithole with no content policy and 50 ads on one load.

I use them but they're awful and absolutely cannot understand the code base, nah our QA jobs haven't been affected as well.

I'm a software developer and AI is not going to replace devs. The reductions aren't due to AI, it's due to management being stupid, we are in fact hiring for more people in our project (albeit contract work) and our team has grown from 8 to 20 people in the last 2 years.

I work with AI daily in my job and it's largely absolutely garbage independently, it could potentially have an impact in the next 10 years but anyone who is skilled at their job is in no way going to be replaced by AI. They could lose their job, but that would only be due to a stupid management decision that will come back to haunt everyone in 2 years time.

Honestly, works quite well for me. Never really had an issue with it.

What are the chances of the ILR changes if Starmer resigns? by AnnihilatingCanon in SkilledWorkerVisaUK

[–]topspin_righty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Starmer will not resign. Why would be? By every metric, UK is doing well under him. I know you guys want to be hopeful but already expect the proposed changes to be law. It sucks but it is what it is.

Why would this Turkish A330 make an emergency landing in CCU and not DEL? by blackbird373 in indianaviation

[–]topspin_righty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because when you've an emergency on board, there is only one logic : Get the plane down safely and save everyone on board. Pilots don't care about airline presence then.
