Why did you post a picture of a random empty background?

Don’t you know? Click bait headlines have to say “someone”

The difference here is that I can reasonably believe the quarter second of spray being an accurate serving, but nobody has just one tictac.
- Comment on How hopeless is getting a job with a CS degree? 2 weeks ago:
It’s honestly hard to say. It’s very impressive what AI coding can do, especially in the past year, but all AI companies are not making a profit. They’re effectively subsidized by investors. They’re focused on growth. At some point they’re gonna need to make a profit, they cannot continually operate at a loss and focus on growth. In fact, when Microsoft started charging properly it was such a massive deal that they called it the tokenpocalypse.
Honestly, I hate to say it, and I’m not trying to be a tech bro, but I think AI is here to say. What exactly it looks like long term, it’s hard to say. I can say this though, knowing how to program will make you a better vibe coded (I feel dirty saying that seriously). So even if AI becomes the norm, you’ll be better positioned if you know what you’re doing.
When things turn though, it’s impossible to say. It could be in the next year, could be like five years out. It could be that when you’re done with your four year degree, they’re still out here doing this “AI is gonna fix everything and we don’t need junior devs” song and dance.
TL;DR: AI is not profitable now so will get more expensive meaning they’ll have to use it less. Either way, knowing how to program without AI will make you better at programming with AI.

- Comment on You Used To Be Cool. Pfft, Sell Out 2 weeks ago:
My mom was weirdly prudish in the '90s and early '00s, I don’t really know why. Like she wouldn’t let me watch Dexter’s Lab because she thought it was gross or something? Idk. Weird time.

My mom told me never to click “I’m feeling lucky” because she thought it had something to do with porn because it’s a phrase people would say about sex.

They’re really gonna make me buy Sex 2 after I paid for all the cosmetics for Sex 1?

AI has gotten scary good over the past year.

Barring environmental concerns, no, I don’t think so.
- Comment on Cancelled Quake 4 expansion gets surprise GitHub release after former XCOM 2 developer discovers it on an old hard drive: 'This essentially saved my life' 3 weeks ago:
Many companies hoard IP like dragons hoard gold.
Going bankrupt? Cool, I’ll buy you for pennies on the dollar. What am I doing with your IP? I sit on it with the rest of my IP. Because maybe somewhere in the future I might make a little extra cash off of it. No, I do not intend to ever sell any of the media I own the rights to! I’m too greedy for that, you cannot even look at my IP!

And it plays out well instead of getting Geraldoed.

- Comment on Amazon thought it would be a good idea to not include subtitles in a film made entirely with sign language. 4 weeks ago:
Oh I hate that. Netflix animes are super bad about it. I wish they’d have the subbed English dub as well instead of a translated sub.
- Comment on Amazon thought it would be a good idea to not include subtitles in a film made entirely with sign language. 4 weeks ago:
Oh if only. I’ve seen two tracks on occasion on streaming services but it’s extremely rare. I think it was on Netflix or Prime and it’s been years since I’ve seen it. As someone who is not hard of hearing but just has a little trouble understanding sometimes it’s very useful to have the option that’s exclusively dialogue.

I think it’s better than day month year but both are worse than year month day.
