> He's a bit of a wuss though

No no no, didn’t you see the MMA training. He’s a real tough guy. Very masculine and strong.

> Rest assured, this will likely come with no small amount of grift.

I naturally expect this money to go to tech companies who have time and time again proven their ability to innovate and thrive in the bleeding edge: basically Oracle.

> but not enough to completely collapse the world economy and return to the feudalism they wanted.

Don’t worry, wealthy drug addict pedophiles in Silicon Valley are carrying that torch now.

> Net jobs seems to be going down.

The jobs that are created a just bullshit jobs.

I took someone to the ER recently. It maybe took 5-6 people, mostly in poorly paid low level medical positions to take a couple images and maybe administer a shot.

The kicker is the last guy was some remote worker in god knows where who’s sole job seems to be to appear in a screen to collect some small details from the patient and tell them how much the bill was. That’s it! Healthcare I believe is the single biggest industry as far as employment goes these days. It’s basically a jobs program.

> So do you only secure your computer networks after they’ve been hacked?

Idk seems to be an industry standard.

> But some of us just want to get something out of our heads and built without months of back and forth with a developer.

This website is called Hacker News, but at this point it should be renamed IdeaGuyNews. Hardly any hackers here anymore.

> Embedded systems? Like sim cards?

Serious question: I remember the old installer, six billion devices or whatever. I’ve heard about Java ME, old set-top boxes and DVD players, etc.

But how much of that is active today. I can’t say I’ve ever seen a job listing for an embedded Java developer or even Java ME in my entire career. Are people actually still using it?

How much money do I need to get a suit that’s not miserable in 90f+ humid heat where even stepping outside in shorts and a t-shirt has you sweating after a few minutes?

Gaikwar - which I was able to guess was a former Indian state seems irrelevant as an “English” word especially given it seems to derive from a name that I have to assume is native to the region.

> We have a product used in call centers. It turns out ai is amazing in triaging (surveying) people. We can ask a question in English and if they respond n another language (any language) the ai will switch to that language, ask its questions, and then give us the answers in English. This was stuff that was impossible 10-years-ago.

That’s great, but the problem is wayyy more companies are using AI so they can drop the call center and just offer you no real way to talk to a person and no real way to resolve problems any more complicated than the lowest common denominator.

And then it’s $2000/m for paper thin wall and cheapest materials possible and has more stringent qualification requirements than a mortgage.

And AGI has been achieved two dozen times within that timeframe lol

> Also, as an aside, people often don't believe me when I say I've never seen a cockroach

That one is pretty shocking. When I lived in South Carolina I remember I used to walk this one road late at night. Once it was dark enough I could see them scattering underneath the streetlights on the fucking sidewalk. Reminded me of sidewalk lizards in Florida, but grosser. I live in the Midwest now. I’m just glad they’re smaller here and don’t fly.

At thsi point i think the current goal is the annoy the tiny ants in the consumer market who complain and are a nuisance , but don’t make them much money compared is the big boys in the enterprise world.

Sure, but it would seem the solution would be to hire the recently minted PhDs and teach them through more senior staff how to operate in the real world, just like in literally any other profession.

Instead you’ll just whine until they let you import a billion more Indians

The link is neat, but that would have been much cooler IMO.

> This is what you pay money for, for Microsoft to decide what to show you and when.

Pfft I’ve been running it unlicensed for years at this point.

More seriously I’ve never been a huge windows hater like many. Sure, there’s always been stupid shit, but I find it kinda fascinating with an interesting history and some cool interesting ideas buried here and there.

But god it’s so bad now I’m not sure how long I’ll be able to justify using it. The only thing hanging me on is that proton isn’t very good at running certain games

I’m way more concerned about the loons willing to throw absurd amounts of money at the clearly naive individuals.

There needs to be a brutal humbling

Most will be replaced by the Soylent green factory after waiters and chefs become a niche luxury for those who did not find themselves economically crushed.

> That story, that ladder of social mobility, is completely dead now.

This was the whole point. A secure, politically active middle class will be too obstructive to the new aristocracy.

My understanding this is because being a grad student is hardly an economically good deal for a typical American student, but for the sort of foreigner who can afford to send their child to school in the US, it can still be valuable.

> I just want to make sure that we don't give our opponents any ammunition by spouting misinformation.

Your enemies aren’t afraid to spout misinformation, and they’re winning.

I was at the grocery store a few weeks back browsing the clearance with my girlfriend.

To my amazement I picked up a, grifty “hair regrowth” supplement. Right on the top of the box, they had the text: “AI TECHNOLOGY”

If you want to know what the fuck is happening to this country you just have to understand that we’re at a point where a company finds it even worth slapping an obvious grift on an obvious grift because there’s enough low IQ idiots to buy.

Does this society include the mentally ill gay young men he’s grooming?

They just let any ~70 IQ idiot in this site now.

The “government” is a collection of dementia patients and pedophiles.

> if your only business is selling ads to scammers to prey on the elderly?

Don’t forget failed, mentally ill, manic rebrands that cost billions and go nowhere.

Oh, and enabling human traffickers.

Replace the subject of police with politicians and then reread your sentence.

Many many people live every day like this.

I have some decent specs, but I’m stuck with AMD graphics card which I’ve been told is a non-starter
