  • Because of FPTP, that means that the GOP will have the presidency for a long time because the Democrats vote would be split.

    And if that is the case, you can be sure that no voting reform will happen, bringing back the two party system.

    It’s the natural evolution of FPTP system.

    The best case scenario would be for the Democratic party to prop up a political reform as one of their main issue, in the hope that the voters will give them the presidency, senate and house to do just that.

    But the DNC would have to follow through will all of that if they get to that point, which probably won’t happen.

    So yeah, it looks bleak no matter how you look at it.













  • “Get off my lawn kids. And god forbid we train people.”

    The common man won’t go out of their way to learn a software they don’t even know they will use. Why is it somehow worst for young people?

    The personal computer as we grew up with is long gone, but somehow, companies and hiring managers expect everyone to be like it is still the case.

    And let’s be real, the vast majority of people don’t know how to use excel even if they work with it every day. For them, it’s a database with a UI and a chart module.

    So yeah, ask for 5 years experience for an entry level data entry position, that’ll fix it for you.


  • Even though Facebook is a terrible inhumane corporation, they have the best product because it is lightweight, can be used without any base station and can be used without a pc-link.

    The fact that a VR set requires at minimum a 5x5 feets space with a computer within the vicinity is definitely hurting the VR market.

    So I just hope that we get something akin to the Quest but without the evil corporation bit.

    When I played Elite Dangerous with a VR headset, man was it magical. But I won’t dedicate a small room and a PC just for that experience.

    The issue isn’t you doing your hobby projects however you want, it’s people being paid and produce LLM generated code.

    And the biggest issue is managers/c-suites thinking that LLMs can replace senior devs.

    And the biggest biggest issue is that the LLMs in their current mainstream form are terribly bad for the environment.

    It’s rarely the case. You rarely work in vacuum where your work only affects what you do at the moment. There is always a downstream or upstream dependency/requirement that needs to be met that you have to take into account in your development.

    You have to avoid the problem that might come later that you are aware of. If it’s not possible, you have to mitigate the impact of the future problems.

    It’s not possible to know of all the problems that might/will happen, but with a little work before a project, a lot of issues can be avoided/mitigated.

    I wouldn’t want civil engineers thinking like that, because our infrastructure would be a lot worse than it is today.
