I’ve been learning drums for a bit. It’s a lot of fun. I’d recommend sticking with it.

I dunno at some point I’m just gonna stop watching tv and find other ways to entertain myself.

Dude a senior manager needs to get promoted somehow

I’ve heard Ori is good. And Wasteland 3 is a blast. Those alone are worth 10.

I am so tired of everyone and everything trying to shove AI down my throat.

My current job’s CEO has done nothing but say we need to do nothing but AI our life to the point where they cut all our old stipends and replaced it with an AI stipend. My last job installed an AI plugin in our browser so we’d feed their llm our data. Everyone has a worthless llm chatbot that no one asked for.

I’m tired man. I’m sick of everything demanding I use this thing so they can try to replace me with it. It’s like being asked to train my replacement.

For engineers at least it’s always been a pain.

L4 (the starting point) -> L5 is expected within a few years. After that it’s a fucking crapshoot. You can be stuck in L5 the rest of your career.

It also affects timing of tricks that are “frame perfect”.

If the old version was frame perfect and you had 1/30 frames and now you have 1/60 you’ve made the trick twice as hard.

Amazon is doing the same thing.

It’s phrased as giving top tier employees ability to penetrate bands.

In practice you have to be rated Top Tier (which is assigned on a curve and only 5-10 percent of employees will hit) 3 years in a row. So if you have an off year or a new manager then you’re screwed. I’d wager that’s less than 1% of the company that’ll hit that.

For everyone else it was a 10% pay cut. Woo?

I just bought it last night and this is quickly becoming one of my favorite games. Everything just hits so well.

I haven’t had a story draw me in like this one in years.

I think we just need to split roles again.

Discord did there best to be an all in one solution and we just need a return to real time chat and voice along with asynchronous communication like forums

I’ve been the weird one in my friend group because I’ve refused to use Airbnb. Why would I want a less guaranteed place to stay that doesn’t have amenities and now costs more?

I remember the multiplayer almost killed this game. They had an early beta of the MP and it was a lukewarm reception. I personally tried it and thought it was ehhh. Then it released and everyone raved about the single player.

Fatpeoplehate was also a trip to watch play out

Fuck Josh Hawley

I’ve worked on these “cost saving” government rewrites before. The problem is getting decades of domain logic and behavior down to where people can be productive. It takes a lot of care and nuance to do this well.

Since these nazi pea brains can’t even secure a db properly I have my doubts they’ll do this successfully.

I thought he accidentally typed his password.

Mine is hunter2

So Deepmind is good to train on your models then right?

That’s how a lot of shitty communities started.

GamersRiseUp was a parody community until actual racists joined and weren’t in on the joke. Then the joke got lost.

All this would do is just fuel the actual right wing nut jobs.

I love Rogue Trader so much.

I wish more of the game was like act 2. That’s where the game really shines
