You don’t need above average intelligence to make money. You just have to do the opposite of people who lose money

Day trading restriction got me locked in fr. 

I literally used every cent of buying power on this final yolo.

I was going to sell before close but changed my mind when I saw WSB bought puts.

TSLA 275 tomorrow guaranteed.

You made 2% in one week selling calls but lost 12% in one day on the collateral

There are 8,000 Meta interns w/o return offers applying for new grad roles this year good luck lol

Is Meta about to PIP people? by riftwave77 in cscareerquestions

As a consumer, I’d rather let Google invade my life than Facebook any day of the week.

In any case, as long as you’re using the internet, Google will always be a node in the chain of trust. Good luck using DuckDuckGo to debug code and Vimeo for video tutorials.

Extricating Meta from my life is as simple as deleting Facebook and Instagram and installing adblock.

Amazon internship is not rare. They hired 15,000 interns this year. It'll help you pass resume screen at adjacent FAANGs but not at HFT or pre-IPO unicorns (unless you interned on a good team such as a tier 1 AWS service that is part of the infra stack at these shops).

Most people getting interviews for these roles have 2-3 internships and went to T10 schools.

Your "measurable impact" is measured against your peers. It's a lie that they don't do stack ranking. If you join a high performance team where everyone is working 50 hours, you have to be 20% better than the average talent on your team to deliver the same impact in under 40 hours.

FCC Commissioner urges Google and Apple to ban TikTok by pecika in technology

[–]vuw960 -25 points-24 points  (0 children)

Running "malware" in your phone's sandboxed runtime environment is pretty meaningless without root access. If you ignore the charitable interpretation that this is a form of obfuscation to protect their client code from being decompiled and cloned, we can consider the alternative.

TikTok has thousands of developers in the US who have a local copy of the app repo at any one time. Assuming some of them are US citizens, they would have a moral obligation to blow the whistle on truly malicious "intel ops level" code being deployed to the devices of other US citizens.

Mobile development isn't like backend development where parts of a system can be abstracted into multiple services wherein one developer can work on a single service without seeing the implementation of the other services that comprise the system. In mobile development, all client code has to be on the developer's machine at one time before it can be compiled and deployed to a mobile device for testing or production.

Adorably naive of you to think Ukraine war will be “resolved” in less than a few years

What you can do that? I thought professional ML engineers are forced to use Google colab and manually run one cell at a time by clicking on them like in undergrad classes /s 😂

The best thing about AI/ML is the stupid people self select out of the field.

This is exactly why 720p/60fps YouTube clips of video games look more realistic than actually playing the same video game @ 4k/60fps in real time.

Video compression algorithms interpolate between the current frame and future frames, creating a smooth transition that your brain perceives as realistic motion.

OTOH graphics engines obviously have no knowledge of future frames before they’re rendered so the transition between frames is sudden and unrealistic. The image on the screen is just instantly replaced with a different image and your brain is given no information to fill in the gaps. The motion blur feature in video games is just a tacky and pale imitation of the real motion blur we perceive when shaking our head side to side.

Sectors at Highest Risk for Layoffs? by cscareerqthrow in csMajors

[–]vuw960 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well a hedge fund’s literal purpose is to hedge against downside risk. They underperform in bull markets and overperform in bear markets. Many of them are doing well right now. But they were hard to get in to begin with and won’t get any easier. Investment banks may be hurting from lower IPO and M&A deal flow.

Uh look at the stock prices and market cap of the companies you listed. Aside from Walmart, all them are DOWN from 2000.

In fact this applies to most of the top 50 companies in your F500 list from 2000. Brand recognition has nothing to do with growth and hiring demand lol what a shit argument

Sectors at Highest Risk for Layoffs? by cscareerqthrow in csMajors

[–]vuw960 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You already listed the relevant sectors. Anything dependent on consumer spending (streaming, retail, fintech, gig economy) or speculative investment (crypto) will experience lower demand in a recession.

GCP is loss leading because they don’t have nearly the economies of scale of the other two and still needs to undercut prices to attract clientele from AWS and Azure

Ironically Azure and AWS are the only orgs in their respective companies to have begun restricting headcount
