Endless meetings all focused around creating value for shareholders at any expense

A good chunk of my work is scheduled turning off and on again in the right order so things don’t break

This is an unexpected benefit of being in Switzerland. Here I was thinking it was more or less a marketing thing

Now that is someone who has thought about this question a lot

Legally the product is no longer their priority, maximising shareholder profits is their priority.

Not many companies manage to not get twisted to a worse product for the customers, though their ads get really good

For those looking to get into the IT space, this doesn’t seem very promising.

Has anyone else on the ground felt the impacts of these layoffs?

Omg I missed that. Nice spot

I feel like I am slowly moving all my data being with Google to Proton. Makes me a bit uncomfortable to be all under one umbrella again.

At least so far it seems they are a decent company

A culture of glorifying tans, mixed with needing a reason to show off your southern cross tattoo, beautiful weather and free public BBQs at parks and beaches.

Remember to slip, slop, slap

Three screens billed as “business expense” actually used as a sim racing rig.

But you will end up filling any screen space you have. When coding I very quickly fill out the space, to see files and folders I am intereacting with, communication apps, websites, IDE, ticket screen. Some days I wish I had 4.

This man out here living the line “kill the rich”

Por que no los dos? Why the urge to dilute it to a black or white issue? Why can’t it be the people and the current society? I am a gaming addict, I know it is up to me.to change that and not fall in the hole. Could there also be a society change, of course, but it is not 100% my problem or 100% societies problem.

I can fight my own phyche and make small gains, then spend that spare time to improve my community.

Society is fucked, but we can all try and make it a bit better

Random thought, do Lemmy posts show up in searches?

I’m pretty sure that’s how I ended up at reddit. After so many google searches lead me to the site, I decided to check it out some more

As a slight positive it will hopefully reduce the reliance on wide spread pesticides and fertilizers.

For some people admitting they were wrong is too hard

I think GPT5 will be eye opening. If it is another big leap ahead then we are not in this local maxima, if it is a minor improvement then we may be in a local maxima.

Likely then the focus will shift to reducing hardward requirements for inforarance(?) Allowing bigger models to run better on smaller hardware

The old acknowledged the question but dance around answering it by throwing out another question and attack of character.

This guy has talked shit online before, this isn’t his first rodeo

I have heard that name a lot, I will have to give it a go

That is the double edged sword though. Get cool features - lose true plain text

All the benchmarks put the equivalent Nvidia cards almost 2x more in Stable Diffusion https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/stable-diffusion-benchmarks

I hope that is an old benchmark and times have changed, but I can’t find anything like it that is more recent.

For a bit of my soul I get a lot more ai power.

AI works on AMD but the speed doesn’t seem to be anywhere near Nvidia.

I wonder this with obsidian also, it is one of the things that keeps me from diving in head first.

It seems a lot of its “powerful” functions are against it’s plain text advantage. However I don’t really see an easy way around it.

At least at the end of the day you or someone else could write a script to modify the plain text files for the next app.
