If you stay in the industry long enough, they will become your boss, and not hire you because you don't know anything about vibe coding.

One of my clients is an AI startup in the security industry. Their business model is to use AI agents to perform the initial assessment and then cut the security contractors hours by 50% to complete the job.

I don't think AI will completely replace these jobs, but it could reduce job numbers by a very large amount.

Like most hacktivists, he is selfish asshole that cares more about self gratification than the consequencesbof their actions.

Getting emotional about it won't work. Companies only see results. If replacing your job with AI works, your job will be replaced.

It's because they don't want illegal immigrants deported at all. The ice hate is just an excuse.

Sanctuary city support a few years ago is more evidence if this.

"reporter early on Wednesday in what the newspaper called a “highly unusual and aggressive” move by law enforcement, and press freedom groups condemned as a “tremendous intrusion” "

If celebrities can hawk rug pull crypto coins, I seriously doubt there will be any legal ramifications for him.

This wasn't when he got dropped. He got dropped in 2016 when he said he supported Trump. In an interview on CNN shortly after this, he talks about how all of his corporate gigs dried up and newspapers tried to cancel him. He also later talked about Venture capitalists dropping him as well because of this.

"it was due to DEI (in the 80s!)"

DEI used to be known as affirmative action in those days. I see so many people try to claim that it never happened, when many of us around during this time experienced it.

"The strip that got him dropped in 2022 featured a black character (first in the history of the cartoon) who "identifies as white"."

While I don't see a problem with this, this was a fuck you to corporations and newspapers that dropped him merely because of his political opinions, an inhumane and bigoted tactic by liberals. This is one of the reasons why I always respected him. He was willing to fight for his beliefs and never backed down.

A company I just left hired all of their development teams from Eastern Europe.

Their rate was a fraction of teams in the US and communication was great.

Perfecting remote work during covid showed companies how easy it is to hire cheaper developers in other countries.

Even if the person didn't intend on running the officer over, it's reasonable to assume that the officer felt their life was in danger. The person in question was also already committing a crime by continuing to block federal government operations.

Anything that happens while you are in the process of committing a crime is mostly on you.

"Now, to be clear, those workers haven’t been laid off because their jobs are now being done by AI"

This isn't necessarily true. Sure, AI won't replace a developer. However, companies will reduce headcount by hiring a developer and allowing them to use AI to increase output.

There has to be a reason: grueling work or long hours.

I've almost always been promoted by doing this. If not, I'm able to use the paid training to get another higher paying job at a different company.

"People no longer feel obliged to pretend there’s something shameful about wanting to be thinner."

Or the notion that being morbidly obese is healthy.

More and more software engineers are denying this reality.

Better than Meth or Coke I guess.

Good luck. I've tried to completely replace Windows with Linux over the last two decades or so, and it's still lacks polish. I really don't enjoy having half-written GUIs for different apps and having to compile my own fixes after searching for 3 hours.

I think I finally gave it up in anger, when it was on a laptop I was using for a few important projects and it cost me days of work.

I now use Windows+WSL and it has the best of both worlds: A fully functional GUI with everything I would ever need with Linux.

MacOS is really the best Nix Desktop OS out there. I would use this instead, but I still require some windows apps.

Stop and frisk reduced crime rates. It should be brought back.

I had the same issue after college. I joined a meetup group and made lots of friends over the course of a few years. It's been over a decade now, and I'm still friends with many of them.

When anyone asks for a 'simplified' tax code, it's going to mean little or no deductions for mostly everyone. Is this really what you want?

I also really don't know know how much easier you want them. If you have one W2 for one job, your taxes can be done in an hour on a Saturday.

I recently traveled to Florida. There are toll roads everywhere. Luckily, I got the unlimited daily toll package when I rented my car.

This is what many evil people do.

Like gun control.

He basically got the other side to admit that European healthcare, which has always been used as an argument as 'better' than US care, is actually not as good.

He can intentionally start supporting things he hates at this point, and academia and the media will write articles and release research papers as to why it's actually bad.

During Covid, it was pretty dangerous when the federal government started intentionally limiting usage of things like Monoclonal antibodies in states like Florida, which was shown to work after someone already had Covid. This most definitely killed people and I really can't listen to anti-science liberals that make decisions based on politics and feelings and not actual science.

Hell, they told us that trying to limit flights at the beginning of Covid was 'racist' and that we should 'hug an Asian'. Does this sound like the party of 'science' to you?

The 'conspiracy theorists' were even right about the Covid vaccines: it's now shown to cause blood clots and it definitely resulted in deaths. There was also no testing with pregnant women and we still don't know the long-term effects.

I don't see how we can just move on with these things or how we can ever believe the medical community run by liberals again. We need trials and people need to go to prison responsible for these deaths.

Big pharma companies that don't have any accountability aren't going to care if they kill people. I used to live in a college town around 2007 or so. Anti-big pharma was a normal platform in the liberal community. It only turned to licking the assholes of the big pharma companies and anyone who supported them after Republicans were apprehensive about untested vaccines being forced onto them.

Again, this has nothing to do with science.

"I only date liberal men.” Politics is not her only concern. She is also looking for someone ambitious, with a stable career, who is Jewish and, perhaps most important, shares her desire to start a family."

Well, good luck finding someone like this.

Well, if you listen to any radio station, you also hear the same songs on rotation. It's not much different. I feel like music stopped being unique after 2010 or so.

"My daughter followed the playbook everyone here recommends. MIT. Programming olympiads. Strong internships. No shortcuts."

I never had any of this and I managed to find work in tech in 2000, 2008, and even now (during the worst down markets in my lifetime), when everyone says that 'nobody is hiring', I had 5 interviews (I only applied to 10 or so jobs) and an offer in less than a month.

Education has never guaranteed you a job. The key is to be able to stay positive, even with rejections. I've never had the luxury of having an internship or network at a well-known university.

Getting a job is all about getting yourself in reduced in a smaller pool of candidates that the company will choose from. Education, experience, being personable can all do this.

The economy is rough right now. You also have do things that can set yourself apart from the rest. I got my latest offer by calling the person that posted the job directly and had a second interview by the end of the week.

"She spends most days in her room applying, "

Mass applying will almost never get you the job. She should be focused on customizing her resume and trying to get in touch with the person posting the job and getting face time.

"It’s Christmas and we aren’t celebrating. No decorations. No pretending things are okay. I’m completely shattered as a parent, mostly because I don’t have answers. I told her for years that merit would protect her. It didn’t."

This is an odd response from a parent. Why are you wallowing in her sorrow? You should be showing her that life can still be good and she will eventually find work again.

I use Deepseek for security research and it will give me exact steps. All other US-based AI models will not give me any exact steps and outright tell me it won't proceed further.

China is already operating with less constraints.

This reminds me of the 'hacker' definition that comes up from time-to-time. Like the term hacker, that ship has already sailed.

WASM is WebAssembly.

The 'resistance' was not releasing them during the last administration.
