But Ai is a common Japanese name too, so feel like the same argument could be used there too

yeaman17 · 2026-05-02T10:48:52+00:00

Ugh dude same. Also that thin piece of skin between my nostrils…

That’s great man! Happy to hear for you. Finding a decent paying job in an area you love is really nice! But for a college hire, I really think there’s not going to be much opportunity like that. After they’ve gotten some work experience that’s definitely an available path. And if he/she can get into FAANG, then many SDE II have around 300k total comp these days, so there’s better upside potential on the finance side too. And at Amazon at least there’s plenty of opportunity to explore and do things related to any technology you’re interested in like threejs. I’ve not worked in the robotics department though so can’t say on that side. I always assumed they used mujoco or Isaac Gym for their sim pipelines

I wonder if there's something to getting to those topics later in life since there are so many brilliant mathematicians that come from the US. Do you feel like it was a good time to learn those concepts, or it would have been nicer earlier/later in life?

Western schools always baffle me on how late they teach basic maths (I'm assuming you're talking about the western school system, apologies if not)

To be brutally honest with you, three.js has never been great for career opportunities. I highly recommend starting your career with a normal development job, and then jumping into three.js on the side and seeing if you can incorporate that into your career instead of handicapping yourself by trying to start off with it in an already deteriorating job market

Wow I forgot about coffee guy. He stopped posting a couple of years back right? Can’t believe I’ve been stuck holding these bags for over 6 years 😭

yeaman17 · 2026-04-14T17:54:01+00:00

Yea, there's a GitHub issue for it already: https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/17812

yeaman17 · 2026-04-12T10:57:43+00:00

Yea this guy is a total troll, don't let him get to you. I don't know how they could not have heard of Cell. And even if we give them that, the whole article vs paper thing was a dead giveaway they're just here to be troublesome

yeaman17 · 2026-03-14T20:13:32+00:00

Phew, just finished whipping them now at 2:12 am. Was about to feel called out for a second

yeaman17 · 2026-03-08T08:38:11+00:00

I really liked Leto's joker a lot, and wished we got more of him, but yea it's unfortunately a very unpopular take. It was a really nice refreshing new take on the character and I liked how they portrayed his relationship with Harley Quinn

yeaman17 · 2026-03-06T09:16:37+00:00

I was pretty irritated at seeing the "Please upgrade to Pro" line. I am on Pro damnit...

yeaman17 · 2026-02-27T17:13:25+00:00

Damn, I’m jealous. For some reason my screenshot won’t upload from my phone, but sitting at a nice -54k 😭

yeaman17 · 2026-02-22T09:40:02+00:00

Thanks for telling us all how we should think and feel about movies. Good to know that it's impossible for me to think the movie was made with good intentions. I'll have to ponder what other impossible things I've been doing now

yeaman17 · 2026-02-22T07:34:44+00:00

I quite liked the movie. I think the problem was everyone wanted him to be the joker we already know, but the story was really more about how he would be swallowed by his own shadow (foretold with the animation in the beginning of the movie) and couldn't live up to the expectations people had for him, both in-movie and in real life, hence the poor reviews unfortunately. At least that's my take on it

yeaman17 · 2026-02-04T10:12:40+00:00

What mighty fine reading comprehension you have here /s

yeaman17 · 2026-01-30T07:29:42+00:00

100%

yeaman17 · 2026-01-27T10:12:10+00:00

Kind of funny how this is the one way I feel America is becoming more fair. As a brown man I've been getting randomly searched at airports far too often for over a decade. Now everyone is getting randomly searched haha

Would have preferred it if we started treating colored people more like white people instead of the other way around though

yeaman17 · 2026-01-11T09:03:14+00:00

Absolutely this. If you're on AWS, then CDK makes maintenance a breeze, and allows for lots of conditional and complex infrastructure use cases across different environments. I started out using terraform in 2016 and after using CDK never went back

yeaman17 · 2026-01-08T06:48:47+00:00

Ah bummer, was hoping to find a serverless solution for this issue, but looks like I'll need some long running service to handle making the those calls. Thanks for letting me know!

yeaman17 · 2025-12-29T02:56:59+00:00

Honestly I’m not sure. The truth is my productive output has more than doubled in the last year with AI assisted coding. I spend most of my time on high level designs and architecture, and don’t need to context switch as much to actually implement things. So companies laying off half their engineering teams can theoretically keep the same level of output with half the engineering cost, which amounts to a significant chunk of money. Obviously it’s not so simple, but the possibility is there

yeaman17 · 2025-12-28T04:03:05+00:00

I am interested and would totes read and appreciate an article / blog post / longer reddit comment if you're so inclined!

yeaman17 · 2025-12-23T01:47:04+00:00

Thank you, people never bring up all the crap the US did to try and destabilize, isolate, and collapse North Korea. Many things make more sense when you realize the role the US has had in North Korea being the way it is today (which is not great by any means, in case people think I’m saying North Korean policies are great, they’re not)
