Fellow software engineers, what's your plan for the next 5-10 years?
I wasn't worried until Sonnet & Opus 4.5 but it genuinely one shots everything I give it. We went from doing 30 story points (team of 4) to 60 per sprint after the release.
The writing is on the wall, software engineering will be the first white collar job to be automated.
What do we do afterwards?

I can't make heads or tails off of these discussions either, I'm slowly convinced that >90% posters here are either AI bots or have never been employed in the field. I have not noticed our velocity increase to any noticeable degree over the past ~3 years. Otoh we had layoffs in the fall and that was noticeably immediately, work is a lot more stressfull and busy these days

A year ago our company started mandating the use of AI and tracking usage, and consistently it's the shittiest programmers that use AI the most. I do admit that AI might currently be having a positive effect in terms of "raising the skill floor" this way, but I have a feeling that these employees will just grow dependent on these tools and will never grow past them

>>107678494
I have a variety of backup plans.
One thing for sure is that we're having to move out of our current apartment.
My wife will finish her degree in 1.5 years, and she works in a job AI can't do. In the coming 1.5 years I have time to prepare and get ahead of what I will study next. Should I get fired, I have unemployment benefits, which are enough to get by for the time.

I already signed up for career counselling. Not really because I believe that AI is an actual threat for me personally, but I have to admit that I just don't see myself doing this long term anymore, partly because of AI. I went from Junior Software Engineer to Solution Architect in 6 years, so I'd argue I'm pretty decent at the Job. But the joy is kinda gone.

Anyway with the career counselling I hope to find a definitive path to focus on.
I want to explore if Electrical Engineering is a job that has a lot of jobs where manual finger dexterity is required. It's a job with higher accountability on the software side for sure, but the goal is using my hands and fingers for more than typing on a keyboard and using a mouse. Instead I hope to actually build physical stuff. According to an infoday at the nearest University for Applied Science, I can easily start there, no admission exam required.

An Electrical Engineering degree also allows me to pivot into a very diverse set of occupations.

If the career counselor tells me that it is again a super computer based job in my country, I will explore wheter I become a nurse, which can also yield a great salary with some additional training later, or if I go for a trade job

I legitimately can not discern the difference between 128kbps audio and anything higher bitrate. For years I've seen anons argue about 320kbps, FLAC, WAV, and so forth. But honest to God, the difference to my ears is near imperceptible. I listen to headphones for 8+ hours every day, and even I can't tell the difference. Sure my equipment is not top-tier, but I doubt that explains it.

For my favorite music, I can just about tell the difference between 128kbps and 320kbps. Like if I really try hard. But anything above that.. forget it. I really feel people are lying when they claim they are able to hear nuances beyond 320kbps. I believe higher than 320kbps is hardcore placebo-tier and people who hoard FLACs are raping their limited storage capacity for no reason.

What do you think? Is the audiophile culture plagued by lying cocksuckers, or do some people have golden ears?

I can't discern the difference between a painting and a reproduction, but if I was going to go to great length to collect paintings, I would want the originals, not reproductions. That's the point of FLAC, nothing else. If you cannot understand this analogy then you are fucking retarded.

Those are clearly different versions of the song. You have to be very careful about this when making codec comparisons, it's meaningless if the lossy version was made from a different version of the song that sounded different to begin with.
Here's an AAC made by directly encoding your FLAC with qaac (TVBR 63, ~128 kbps): https://files.catbox.moe/h1ilz1.m4a
>>
>>107677878
128kbps MP3 encoded with a modern version of LAME is actually pretty good for some genres of music. If you listen to simple singer-songwriter stuff it's probably fine. It's only when you have a lot of high frequency content, e.g. cymbals, that the difference is obvious.
>>
>>107680811
The lossy version will actually sound better because it removed most of the CRT whine. So much audio was ruined by deaf boomers leaving their CRT monitors on while recording. But you can at least notch filter it out without obvious damage. The top octave is mostly about total energy not the exact frequencies. If you ever listen using headphone you already implicitly accept this.

He was the boss of both Carmack and Abrash, probably better than most

I’ve been running Linux Mint for over four years and was happy with it until the recent drama, especially the AI security scan fiasco. It really shook my trust in the maintainers.

I started looking for alternatives, but after testing hundreds of distros, none of them met my expectations for stability and reliability. I began to accept that my system would just break from time to time until I found a thread recommending Windows Seven as a rock-solid alternative.

After researching, it turns out this version is still surprisingly usable. It’s stable, reliable, and with extended updates plus a good firewall, security isn’t a major issue.

Has anyone else tried this? How did it go for you? Personally, I haven’t run into a single problem so far.

So what? Mint "developer" is not a fucking real developer, it's just a distro maintainer, he doesn't (and shouldn't) write any code instead of some basic python scripts that glue shit together.
Most security "work" that maintainers do is just monitoring software in repost for new CVEs and backporting relevant security fixes (basically git cherrypicking)

This is objectively true and can be proven with the commit log. Basically all of the good parts of nix came directly from Anduril employees. Hopefully Anduril releases there own distribution so all the normal people that care about quality can move to that.

but what happens when the sources are all re-written and the truth is expunged? especially stuff for medicine, physics/mathematics, history, stuff that matters? we already know that procedural generation is confidently incorrect, so when people start using it to fill in information and it starts to push out the time-tested information, what are we going to do afterwards? try to keep an encyclopedia from 2019 to reference? look at youtube. it only shows x amount of videos in search and then defaults to what it predicts the viewers wants to see. google is playing to the highest bidder. i mean how is someone going to find out what is a safe dosage of ibuprofen or symptoms of strep in children if we can't trust anything anymore?

thats a little different because science stuff gets gate-kept by peer review and journal publications. not to say there isn't an increasing amount of AIslop there too but its comparatively far more rigorous that shitposting to the internet
>try to keep an encyclopedia from 2019 to reference?
think of what it took to put that encyclopedia together tho. an organization of people motivated to collect and curate truth. these sorts of people always exist, whether it be wiki editors or book researchers or whatever. and all people are capable of some degree of self-guided truth validation. truth will be the same as it ever was: an on-going and never ending curation
> google is playing to the highest bidder.
I mean, thats just a quality of how we've structured our society. thats what spawned all the mainstream media news slop we have today. "news you can trust!" and maybe it once was -- but fox news didn't turn to manufacturing reality because of AI. as 'truth' becomes more scarce, it increases in value. as something gains value, someone else will try to sell it. thats why I'm hopeful of a new age of skepticism. dont trust AI, dont trust google, dont trust newsmedia. learn to find and validate truth. I know it sounds blindly optimistic, but the people who don't have the capacity to redefine their relationship with truth were already being lied to before AI anyway

I am currently in possession of a Dell Precision 5550 my school gave me and didn't ask for back; this happened 1.5-2 years ago so I forgot I even had it. I would like to use this as a personal laptop to replace my old desktop; however, the BIOS is locked, and it is running heavily restricted Windows, making it practically just a web browser.

I have already read a fair bit about how this is difficult but all info regarding actually unlocking it doesn't work--any advice? Is there a reliable way to do this without having to do anything to the BIOS chips? I am fairly technical but currently do not have access to the required tools for soldering/chip flashing. I do not have a USB-C flashdrive, but since I can't even open BIOS boot order due to admin lock, I doubt it would work.

Laptop model: Dell Precision 5550
Bios Version: 1.22.0
BIOS Mode: UEFI
CPU: i7-10750H
GPU: Quadro T2000 (Max-Q Design)
RAM: 32GiB

Should this be unfeasible/too painful, I am thinking of buying a ThinkPad P53 as an alternative.

I can provide more specifics if need be.
