embedded dev, c/c++, performance. it aint much, but its honest work... unless you hold me to my self imposed deadlines.

  1. You havent mentioned whether you are doing any after school activities?

    Join any club where you can interact socially, like martial arts, boxing, any group sports, dancing.. or if not into that try chess/literature/board games/music clubs.

    Not 100% guaranteed it will find you good friends, but you will get social interactions and be able to practice social skills.

    This is maybe a bit of boomer advice, but if you are a young man you wont have many friends unless you can provide value to others, or unless they think they can get something out you, that something can be as little as social currency or being interesting to hang around with, which comes from skills and life experience.

  2. Something that would record commands as you go and allow you to rollback during testing the scripts?

    This is what I miss whenever I have to do devops...

  3. another solid proof of the Firmament
  4. Legal and HR department would like to have a word.
  5. This is the only true way to establish dominance.
  6. In 2025 IP and copyright don't play a role anymore ;)
  7. The web wave was a trick companies played on developers minds. Should've stuck with C people...
  8. Noone ever checked my phone in Iran, there is no reason. But unless you travel to meet family or friends, you need certified tour guide for the stay afaik.
  9. The more elaborate your design doc for printing hello world is, the higher the chances for L+1
  10. bro, just get a good tour guide, bring a camera and forget about twitter for a few weeks, whats the problem with that?

    locals use VPNs, sometimes they work, sometimes they dont... gov has on/off switch so you are at their mercy, but honestly do you need access to US social media when on a vacation in a desert?

  11. Not many, but there are some who remain I would say. C and C++ is not going anywhere in embedded. No need too press F just yet.
  12. Are the GPUs and data centers being built by cash obtained from sales or by private investors with betting addiction?
  13. If the contract states the credits expire EOY all bets are off. Implicitly makes the credits the 'delivery' not the service itself.
  14. So that we can reliably classify between real engineers and techbros
  15. And when you get sued that's judge who has to decide that and for that you go to court, and for that you need a lawyer. Hence why most people just CBA...
  16. ok, but this can be tested with black box tests, you can add performance tests on top to make sure there is no bloat over time

    you might look at generated code as often as you look at generated assembly now

  17. I've seen this several times in Google maps, the business owner finds out who the client is (gym, doctor, even ice cream shop) and confronts the client in the comments or even personally (seen once) instead of taking in the feedback
  18. > All restaurants in Western Europe are bad? That is… quite the sweeping statement.

    completely agree with you, the statement _you_ made is quite the sweeping statement

  19. if you think about it the resource wasteful approach pre-LLM didnt really make sense (thousands of people often times re-implementing similar use cases). LLMs are like global open source repositories of everything known to mankind with search on steroids. we can never go back, if only for this one reason (imagine of how many hours of peoples lives were lost implementing the same function, or yet another CRUD app)... so if we cant go back whats next?

    the paradigm is shifting from us not deciding how to do, but deciding what to do, maybe by writing requirements and constraints and letting AI figure out the details.

    the skill will be in using specific language with AI to get the desired behavior, old code as we know it is garbage, new code is writing requirements and constraints

    so in a sense we will not be reviewers, nor architects or designers, but writers of requirements and use cases in a specific LLM language, which will have its own but different challenges too

    there might be still a place for cream of the crop mega talented people to solve new puzzles (still with AI assistance) in order to generate new input knowledge to train LLMs

  20. > The key, I believe, is to mentally reframe the AI: it's not the driver, it's your assistant — a helper, a debugger, maybe even a silent teacher. But you're still the architect. You're still the creator.

    we wont be deciding how to do things anymore, but what to do, case in point: Mr. La Forge run lvl 3 diagnostics on the warp drive. LaForge clicks a button on his iPad

    at some point even this will go away and AI will decide what we want to do based on analyzing our brain through neural-link

    at some point in far future even this will go away as parts of our brain will be continually and eventually completely replaced by synthetic AI brains

  21. I would say the problem is twofold:

    - current technological limitations of LLMs

    - how industry uses LLMs

    we should not be working with code at all, the new level of abstraction are requirements and conversations with AI, this is what should be commited into git and then you would simply "compile" your conversation and requirements into code

    and if you would focus on requirements and prompts as the new "code" maybe you would feel like you are getting some power and understanding back?

    but obviously because of many reasons such as context windows and hallucinations this is not possible... yet

  22. people who don't enjoy clutter and waste must be still outliers then
  23. we are back to using word of mouth, museum Europe reinventing the wheel :D

    and honestly in western europe and especially in german speaking countries restaurants are not really worth the high price, I rarely go, and most of the time only when someone recommends or its absolutely necessary like on a vacation with family once in blue moon

  24. if they can figure out who made the review they can claim defamation
  25. what is the point of swag anyway, why do companies waste money on these useless items?
  26. By Elysium level tech a surgery could mean simply swapping an organ with artificially grown clone, so perhaps surgeries won't be that complicated anyway...
  27. Not a doctor or an expert on this but as a patient I would say LASIK sounds less invasive than internal organ operations...
  28. not convinced it will have a huge impact, the reason being is - if it would be possible to automate the job of software developer 100%. you would in effect automate all and any white collar jobs overnight.
  29. Always on a hunt for a new iPhone.
  30. I guess the point was never how to do thing properly, but:

    "how to join two struts with least amount of work and thinking so my manager can tick off a box in excel"

    in such case inheritance is a nice temporary crutch
