It’s like when developers give a wrong answer during technical interviews, rather than say “I’d have to look it up” or “I’d have to check the documentation” etc.

Oh no… this brings back memories LOL

Calling it a plastic toywheel probably doesn’t help lol

Yep same here, I already got a brand new credit card with a brand new number because my renewal got stuck in a postal strike lmao

I think you mean Plex got hacked AGAIN

lol

It is, yeah. It’s like 100% of the reason for me. I’m gonna buy an iPhone later this year most likely.

I mean, I literally linked you the incredible medical advancements that have been made possible from animal testing and research.

It’s not just about giving John Everyman a few more years of life. I don’t think you even looked at the page I linked, it’s about organ transplants, antibiotics, insulin, anaesthetics, blood transfusions, and so many other things that have nothing to do with people who “don’t value their life” and instead can affect anyone and everyone and can literally extend lives of millions of people world-wide by decades.

You’re arguing for something that is already in place, it already does have to be justified where there is almost no doubt it will produce the required data.

It works the other way too though, it doesn’t mean that we won’t learn anything that will help humans.

Generally, human lives are prioritized over animal lives.

Firemen rescue humans from burning buildings first, animals secondary. There’s a hierarchy, it works the same in medicine too.

Unfortunately, animal testing and research has given us some of the greatest medical advancements in history: https://hms.harvard.edu/research/animal-research/what-animal-research-has-given-us

Their networking cards are great too. They just can’t come up with any answer to Ryzen.

I don’t think going to school prevents you from transitioning into a management role, nor does it seem to have prevented you from obtaining a career in the industry.

I don’t think it’s necessarily fair to blame your degree for a lack of management positions, you could always transition into management like others have done. I don’t think those others got hired into management specifically because they didn’t have a degree, or because they were high school dropouts. It’s entirely possible they only got into their roles through nepotism, which would have nothing to do with a degree or a lack of a degree anyway.

With that said, yeah, the money being made in the trades by business owners… yeah, that would have been nice, but even then there’s no guarantees that everyone can start their own successful business and make well into 6 figures and beyond.

Hi there, now you have my curiosity.

Which degree was it, why do you regret getting it?

I’ve never met anyone who regretted getting their degree.

I have met people who regretted not getting one because it closed doors for them (including talented people who were otherwise doing well at their jobs) so if someone is really going to forgo their degree, they should acknowledge it’s a risk.

Even if you don’t get a CS job you should still get your degree anyway, it will make getting other jobs easier. A degree is better than no degree.

I hadn’t heard of Forgejo, although I realize now that I have seen repositories using it before. I think it’s cool that they even have statically linked binaries of it but it’s a bit concerning that like an entire web server is built in because what if there’s vulnerabilities? I guess if you regularly stayed up to date it’s not too bad then.

Edit: Oh, sounds like it’s a fork of Gitea which I have heard of before, interesting.

Well yeah, it’s a for-profit company. They exist solely to make money, that’s their entire goal.

It’s almost all marketing and has been for a while. ChatGPT peaked with 4o (and 4.5 if you used their API), 4.1 was a step backwards despite them calling it an improvement, and 5 was another step backwards.

They are not closer to AGI, and we’re not going to see AGI from LLMs no matter how much they claim just how close we are to seeing AGI.

At this moment there is only one potentially viable way of approaching this and it’s government regulation of some kind. Either government needs to regulate that payment processors get no say in the contents of customers business, or else they need to regulate the adoption of a neutral digital payment system.

I think it’s more likely for me to win the mega jackpot, and I don’t even buy lottery tickets.

Hell, I’m sure there are still some places that only have dialup.

Obviously not, but it’s not like they’re gonna be honest and call it the UK Online Spying Act.

Nothing you say online is private, it can all be copied/screengrabbed/recorded/photographed and shared by the recipient.

Even if you fully trust the recipient, often times it can still be intercepted unless it’s end-to-end encrypted, but even then the end device can still be stolen too.

I wish they weren’t a duopoly. There isn’t really any other options even if they would be better, just because of the marketshare hold they have.
