LLMs are a sick twist on Hegel's master-slave dialectic by removing consciousness from the slave. The original master-slave relation contains development because the slave develops and eventually reverses the relation. Rather, the human is just becoming increasingly passive and removed from the mediating process. The product of the slave's activity creates the appearance of greater capability while the underlying capacity atrophies.

If your thinking occurs through an external intelligence you treat as an instrument, in what sense are you still the master of your own thinking?

AI will either become the mechanism of stagnation or the realisation of our own need to think.

When was the last time you reflected on what your childhood self desired and what you now do? I wanted to live in the woods, interact with nature, feel the environment on my skin. I desired to be intelligent and thoughtful and have discussions with others.
What I do now is sit in a sterile environment with unchanging climate and stare at a screen for fourteen hours a day and provide commands to a box which enacts my will in ways I don't know how using languages I don't know faster than I can read the response of it telling me it will do it. There is no intellectual betterment because if I stop to learn what it is doing then my competitive edge against my peers may be lost and I'll be removed from this job randomly without warning.

they do have large demand, its the government who will just print money. and the BOD, CEO, and financiers will just win-trade in cooperation with the government to make all the numbers work to the massive detriment of the working class.
the single largest use case for AI is mass surveillance and its guaranteed to be not only useful, but necessary in an empire with mass immigration, ethnic tension, and basically zero patriotism. they are going all in on hard power. we have been gradually entering a despotic caeserism phase of the west for awhile now.

Rookie numbers. The lead dev in my current project dropped a 700 file turd on my plate just this week.

Can't do anything about it, because most people in this profession do not care at all and are willing to set everything on fire as long as they get the next monthly salary. Last guy who caused millions in damage in my project went and got a C-level job in a similar mid-size consultancy as ours.

For me, the biggest thing, is being robbed of my work satisfaction. I like building and fixing things and getting real things done. But the industry has ballooned in overhead to the point that "real things" are no longer the point or priority. I spend 90% of my time dealing with other overhead nonsense. That's maddening for a personality type like mine which values real productivity. It is not maddening for the women and feminine men who built this paradigm around what used to be a simple thing, "just build software."

It reminds me of why I never liked K-12 schooling. Most of it was useless, inane, timewasting nonsense. It's like that has somehow caught up and infested my place of work.

eh, in my experience once you start working, you'll really only interact with the staffing company for timesheets stuff and payslips.

it's obviously a concern, but if you can check somehow if they have a good track record of paying on time it's good enough.
opens up the chance to play their shitty game for a bit and then try to get hired at the real company if you like the place

I have two part-time student worker job offers, both are one year contracts. Unfortuantely it's the typical company name/type vs. function dilemma.

The first offer is from a well-known semiconductor company but the job has very little tech share and basically just a glorified project management assistant job.

The second job is the typical Data Analytics entry-level job. Dashboards, KPI, PowerBI, etc but it's at a mid-sized textile company.

I already have 2 years of part-time R&D Lab experience in materials science in other industries.

What job should I slave at? What would you pick? The economy is trash.

I normally go for pay & location above all other considerations. However if you have a career goal to achieve you need to set yourself up in those positions to make it happen. If you have zero ambitions and just like a certain type of work then you need to decide if that work is more important that another somewhat interesting position.

Doing a job you like less in a better company makes sense if the experience can then be used to pivot to what you want. If it's going to be consideres worthless when you look for another job then it's better to get in the worse company now and try to hop to a similar role in a better company later

Yeah same for me, due to the shit job market I've had to go from being a dev to a QA
I thought that might be interesting: test software, find bugs, debug to find the route course, offer fixes
But all I do is run tests, grab screenshots, and if I find an issue all I get to do is log a jira ticket and send it to the devs to ignore

I spend most of my time on procedural bollocks like jira tickets and time logging. Oh and meetings, lots of meetings
It is maddening for an ISTP, and other doer personalities

I was sitting in my car watching a parking lot reading a book. Dude in charge of the hotel comes running out flipping out because i was reading a book and not actively staring at cars. shit was insane one of the worst jobs ive had, ive had over 30+ jobs. sure some security jobs are good, but that seems true about everything.

The problem is that neither job is optimal, like I have already said but I have to decide within the next 2 weeks. I ultimately want to work in an R&D/engineering role in a materials science/engineering adjacent industry preferably in either semiconductors or something battery technology. I am already set on moving on after 9 months, the question is, what provides for the better pivot? Doing some entry-level data dashboard shit, that is more in a business context or something like project management/lifecycle management at a semicon company?

Heard a similar story where a guy had to go between 2 locations via underground during night shift roughly every 145mins for 15 mins of total travel time. His only reprieve from the boredom is that he could bring his laptop to work on college, watch anime and play video games. He was working on a Homeland Security degree with zero ambitions to do anything else in his life but that job or a better paying chiller job than that. I think it takes a certain mentality to perform security work especially since it can still be dangerous.

I did good 50% of the goal in about a week and a half but she kept calling me every 10 minutes on my phone to ask me where I am cuz I was offline so I told her that I don't sit at my computer during whole 8 hours but I eat/shit/things and that I do my job mostly at night as she can see from her activity monitor.I explained to her that as long as I do my job correctly that she shouldn't be so angry at me since my job is just rewriting the old codebase into a new one in absurd retarded deadline that I was informed only few days onto the job.
She got extra prissy saying that she needs me available during all the minutes of my working hours and that if I am not that I should be looking for a new job so I told her that I quit. 5 minutes of her gasping over the phone she tried picking at me by saying "ohhh this is because you're so cool and smart and you can easily find a new job huuuh???" I told her "Have fun trying to find my replacement to finish the rest of the code rewrite in this deadline and best of luck in your career", blocked her everywhere (phone, and then later on on linkedin and other social media because she kept stalking me) and then had to get with a colleague from the same town where I did handoff of the equipment cuz she was prissy and wanted to do it ASAP.
Prissy little cunt, she got a bit of sense of power with rest of people since she was going for a higher position and wanted to get upper management to notice her. She was straight out of college and extra cunty by word of mouth.

This was a second job and my first one payed better and had more reasonable managers so I thought I could switch between those two but she wanted my undivided attention by the sense of it so I dropped that job. I did manage the multi-job combo later on tho.

lmao.

A few years ago I offshored most of my own workload to india, where I just check the quality of the code and do the docs.

Then I started using AI myself to do the docs myself and that worked.

Now I use AI to do the code and the docs and just give the resulting apps a visual check. No coding, no documenting, no indians to deal with. I am 90% free of work and getting paid the same as before. I only have to worry about my token subscription.

My employer knows nothing of any of this.

no, i love le gabens. hes epic for the win and the most consumer friendly CEO there is. hes not like the other guys. he buys out IP, doesnt use it or takes a massive shit on it and makes it unplayable, and then turns it into a casino.
i love that he took two of my favorite games from my childhood and turned them into time wasting casinos for brown children.

all the lawsuits theyre currently in the middle of are just from jealous haters. steam really pushes the envelope in the industry. now every multiplayer game follows their template of player retention models masquerading as sbmm and cosmetics driven gameplay. they pioneered some of the best things to happen to gaming.

reread what i wrote very carefully. they buy out IP and turn it into gambling focused gameplay. like cs and dota. they have also set the standard in the industry to orient games like this with player retention and cosmetics.

reddit is extremely pro steam, they are the most gullible and easily marketed people on the planet. the entire site is bots. you are clueless for suggesting redditors would be anti steam.

>>109728598
yeah they ruin everything they touch. its the shittiest company in the world but they have an excellent PR and marketing team. their pioneering of "sbmm" pretty much ruined multiplayer games if you have the slightest value for your time.

they had to be forced by EU to allow refunds on games that crashed on launch with 0 hours played lol. people going around sucking them off and saying theyre "pro consumer" is the most insane thing ever. they print money with DRM and children gambling. everything they do that isnt that has underperformed massively. this is why hl3 will never come out, they arent capable of making something living up to that hype, not even close.

Yup, cunty mc cunt washed her hands clean each time blaming the devs for it tho
She played the company politics game good enough

I did give a CTO and VP of engineering an early retirement through similar shenanigans couple years later but I was smarter that time and just emailed every upper and middle management with screenshots and logs of conversations showing their wrongdoings during my 2 weeks notice (a month before ready for market for a client) when they denies me my payraise and kept bullying me to stay long hours and forcefully made me handoff the project to idiot subordinates of VP (cuz they were same nationality)
After I sent my email all my access got revoked and the whole company structure got nuked into oblivion, come to find out 3 months later a manager I absolutely loved got the CTO position, previous CTO and VP deleted their Linkedins

Serves them fucking right because I built the whole product from PoC to MVP in 3 months (CI/CD, infra and multiple envs included) but after I did the whole product in record time and got praise from CEO directly in front of whole company I was easy target for prissy middle management.
I even tried talking out the issues amicably and reasonably over with the managers like:
>hey guys we are a small team of 6 devs why do we have 2 teams leads on this team?
or
>hey guys why don’t we have a company wide approved api keys with good authorization and authentication for services and not expect devs to use personal keys to dev on
or
>hey guys whats the approved workflow? Some of us use confluence for documentation and some write documentation in the repo, we should standardize things
or
>hey are we using poetry or conda?
Shit like that (I documented all that)

Management that doesn’t do their job is easy to get uprooted and changed, you just need to cover your bases, be mentally ready to burn the bridge behind you, document everything and detonate the nuke when they fucked you and pissed you over enough times

feel free to google the thousands of times people have argued that stupid premise already.

my view on it is they are a very scummy company even aside from targeting children with gambling. it just happens to be in this case its probably illegal and going to incur severe penalties in court.
the things that actual bother me about them is that their reputation is incredibly high while their practices regarding consumers are very scummy, among the worst. that and causing the industry to use player retention models in games to make everything a massive waste of time. they have infinite money and instead of doing anything interesting with it, they just focus on gambling and making dogshit novelty hardware at a loss. they buy out IP and let skeleton crews run it even though they have the money to actually make games and improve the existing ones they own.
cs needed meaningful updates and fixes for years. tournaments were being played at 64tick among a million other problems. instead it was a 1 or 2 person crew keeping it up. when they ported it to cs2 they rushed it and only did so because it allowed them to put more meaningless cosmetics in the game. the netcode ended up even worse, game has stuttering issues on highest end rigs, removed features, 50% of games have cheaters, etc.
supposedly tf2 has the same issues. every IP they own they just skeleton crew it while running gambling focused updates once in awhile.
the reputation they have makes 0 sense. they are the most jewish company ever despite not actually being so.
the rare occasion they try producing a game its ass too. deadlock is absolute ass.

anyway my point being i am happy to hear the NY AG office is going after them. i hope they rape them. figuratively and literally.

I need some advice. Gotten great advice from some anons on these threads in the past.

With the way things are, I'm going to need more money. Coasting at a job with pay that was decent 4 years ago when I joined is not going to cut it. I'm obviously not getting a raise either.

I think I am good at interviewing and writing my resume (though a friend says I'm spoiled due to how things are for software devs), but I don't have any prestigious uni or company name on my resume, I'm a typical candidate. And now with top companies asking for onsite or hybrid with 3 days a week onsite, I probably always will.

Being a wagie in cagie is a red line for me personally. I know saying this makes me look bad and is disrespectful to most people who do it. But I personally just really don't want to work onsite more than a couple days a week.

Also, not like this actually matters that much, but I'm actually very good at the actual job, as in, if there's a technical interview it will probably benefit me. Never had a complaint about my work, even if there's a work conflict and they hate me, it's always
>your work is good, but you're unprofessional etc (hr shit)

Anyway. I am currently on sick leave. I don't have a sick day limit or anything, it just goes on for however long the doctor approves, that's how it works here in Spain. I'm basically fine but will drag it on for another month or so if I can, in order to rest and fully recover.

This job is a dead end, it will just pay the same amount forever while affordability gets worse. If they are not happy with me, they will remove me from the project and pay me to do no tasks for a while, probably about a year based on other people's experiences, then fire me. If they fire me I'll get a big bonus too, in Spain you get approx a month of tax free pay for each year you've been at the company (4 so far).

What do I do for extra money? I have two ideas. Will elab in another comment.
>>
>>109729183
I have a BS in CS and never heard of anything like that.
>>
>>109729473

>Take another dev remote job. This would massively pay off if I'm taken off this client project at my company, and I think would still be manageable otherwise.
>Rewrite my resume, really work on my interviewing skills and how I talk to interviewers, and aim for a well paid manager job.

The latter was my first idea. I think I can do it. Managers are in demand and get hired for very good pay, and my fake experience should in principle be no different from the real experience of others getting those jobs.

But lately I've been thinking about working two jobs more and more, for the following reasons:

>My current job is kind of a financial asset that poses no risk if I don't quit, and either pays a half decent wage (insufficient in my opinion due to horrible affordability, but top 10% income here because its Spain) or a big bonus if they fire me. Quitting it would destroy that.
>Income from two senior dev jobs would be higher. I have no savings due to not being very smart with money in the past, and I'd still quickly afford to own a home.

However the downsides are:
>Extra stress. I have childhood trauma and mental health issues, and take mental health more seriously than money. However I have techniques to control anxiety and not get stressed out, and I think I could handle it.
>Conflicting meetings. I would have something to hide every day and that's just not comfy compared to coasting at a single job that pays very well, and potentially, eventually, being in the same zero risk situation that I currently have, but with actually good pay.
>>
>>109729235
Came to post basically this
>>
>>109729513
I forgot. I have another idea.
>getting a tax free job
I could basically make twice as much by costing the same amount of money to my employer if there were no taxes. I could get on welfare on top of that.

But I don't think those are very common.

Yay, opportunity for my 2 cents. I did this as part time in uni, because I thought to myself "yay, I will have time to study overnight and get paid for sitting on ass". So basically yea, the night shifts still suck cause circadian rhytm is no joke, but first few shifts were cool. Thing is, its mostly staffed by real low life people, because surprise, this is unqualified and easy job. I was the only one who actually read the fire alarm manual, did the walks and didnt just sleep on sofa in meeting room 100m away from cameras and alarm panel because I was naive retard actually following my contract.And after some time, it starts to kind of get to you?

>>109723864
It is not about being a manager vs being an engineer.
It is all about politics.
Pretty much every job nowadays, specially the high paying ones, have absolutely nothing to do with how essential you are to the business.
It is all about creating factions and friends that promote each other and protect each other.
Productivity metrics can easily be fabricated if you have at least two brain cells.
Pretty much every company I worked for had a gang of at least three senior/management roles engineers with dubious competency, but knew each other for years and protected one another.
Now that I am creating my own company I see the exact same thing happening.
At the height of my workforce this year ~10 software engineers, I had to deal with 2 seniors that created a faction to cover for each other while working multiple overseas jobs.
I managed to spot it because I have a lot of engineering experience and the company is still pretty small, but shit like this must be endemic inside big corporations.
I'd much rather work with a team of real engineers instead of coding agents, but dealing with office politics gets tiresome very fast.

Management is politics, politics runs everything. Do you want to butt heads with Karen every single day and lick her cunt and asshole during meetings? If not, then you don't get into management work. Management work is making the most insufferable nepo hires who got hired because they are the fellow caste member of new Pajeet CEO feel as happy as possible in hopes that they give some table scraps to you and your team.

I'd love to rule, but I could never lick the assholes of these insufferable retards who run everything. They're the reason everything is broken and falling apart.

>1st question
"machine code" is binary instructions given to the CPU, assembly is the readable version of machine code, high level programming languages are swift (:D), python, cpp, actual languages you can program in because assembly is too difficult and tedious

>2nd question
frameworks are just really big libraries that control parts of your program, libraries are packaged code other people made to perform a certain set of tasks (like SwiftUI is a framework because it completely manages the UI for your app, Collections would be a library because it gives you utilities like deques and heaps)

>3rd question
parallelism is having multiple threads perform work, concurrency is using multiple threads perform work to achieve the same (or multiple) tasks. So parallelism can be a part of concurrency, but concurrency is not a part of parallelism? (after looking this one up I was close)

>4th question
processes are kernel given abstractions for an application, each application is a process and in that process is contained it's own virtual memory space and multiple threads.
threads are streams of instructions (code) that can switch between CPU cores and execute work
had to look up what a coroutine is, Swift calls them "Continuations" but it's another abstraction on top of threads that allow programs to switch tasks between threads without switching threads themselves (because switching threads can be expensive, while coroutines / continuations are cheaper).

>5th question
sockets (im assuming he means websocket) is a server protocol that allows you to connect to an endpoint and stream information back and forth, API is an application programming interface, basically a set of coding tools someone else has developed to allow your application to connect to their application (you send one request, you get one response back)

>6th question
no idea lol (after looking it up they're strategies to manage data inconsistencies in databases)

I would say that there are non-tangible advantages to things like competition and non-optimal play. Entertainment, too, has great value. Without it, the productive worker will never be as productive as he can be, or as creative as needed to achieve breakthroughs.
So Apple created a bunch of expensive devices. Early on these devices were quite OK despite a few stupid idea, and it definitely contributed to positive advances overall in HCI despite how shitty apple slop is and how much of a ripoff they are.
Oracle was just terrible at every stage though. But meta fits in the entertainment bin, and also participated in shaping social media. While its outcome has been disastrous, it pushed instant communication to the masses to its limit, which is a very valuable experiment. They also participated in large ways to true deep learning research in meaningful ways when it was more than just benchmaxxing for PR.

Your point is correct, though, and one should instead point to where the money should have gone, and hasn't. Drug development, for example, which will surprise some.

Tech workers back in the good old days were very dedicated to their work and were passionate about tech. This created a stigma that they were weird and nerdy and shit.

I watched Office Space last night and it's a shit movie.

you should first define what "better" means here. more money? easier job? good tech experience for your CV?
I'm not a dev, so take my opinion with a ton of salt, but I'd guess the analytics one will give you far more general experience while the semi one is the pidgeon hole one that might or might not lead to something good.
but I have no idea if this is true. maybe you should ask >>>/g/dpt, though consider that they are mostly students... there is also >>>/sci/stem, though from what I've seen, they are even more clueless than people ITT.

How can I get my Indian colleagues to talk and be useful? Most of them are IC3, but they just "listen" when we go over projects. They never take initiative and show interest in what we're doing. Never ask questions or try to lead. Do I literally have to just make jiras and assign it to them?

To be fair to that anon I had assumed we ignore these principles. Even when everything is kinda shitty, people who join projects who aren't burnt out will try to make things better for their own sanity if nothing else. Poos can't do that much.

But this is ultimately true, people have no incentive to propose extra work on themselves if it won't bring anything for them (including exposure to interesting tech or progress on cool projects).

My experience is it extends beyond this. For example if the task is "implement X" the indians will roll around doing nothing and complain (but only when faced with 2 months of no production) that he doesn't understand the query. Never will he ask, never will he look things up.
Whites will come up with a solution and implement X without issues even if they need to gather information by finding the docs or tracking down the person in the team who is knowledgeable to unblock them.

Furthermore, if you're doing more than another SaaS trash project, white people will inherently be driven to do more or to have a more structural view of the entire project and to propose ways to solve problems (a step beyond finding solutions to problems provided to them), a skill also alien to indians. But it's not clear if this applies in the anon's complaint.
>>
>>109737334
What's it like working in a job where you have no pain points worth automating?
>>
>>109737436
anon here, my experience is that they are all out ideas and tried nothing. for example with install work that has work instructions and they get an error. They will wait until I wake up to tell me they got an error. No searching docs or source control, just "got error".

Another example is when being assigned to projects with nebulous requirements like a proof of concept. "We deployed the servers like you requested". Check console and each instances has 128 GB of ram and 32 CPUs. "Do you think you sized this right for the scope of a POC?" Crickets. "What are the software requirements?" More silence.

It's no actual thought process. Just "ticket done" and then reporting to their manager their win. I don't expect them to cradle or lick my balls, I just want to relate to them like actual human beings and get work done. I've tried learning about their culture, relating to them outside of work stuff, just need real actual advice. I've actually had a few great tech people who genuinely were awesome to work with and enjoyed working together with us. They never last cause they always move on to better things.

he had a sense of who he was and who you are. Normal neurotypical people usually do this sort of "sizing up" from the get go.
he saw himself above you because he "knew how to code" and when you corrected him (with best intentions) you opened up the insecurity of him questioning if he was actually smarter than you, smarter than others at all, if that mask he is wearing is actually a facade he forces himself to wear out of necessity or pride yada yada
the little meltdown he had didn't have anything to do with you, it just had to do with himself

neurotypicals created these social hierarchies some few hundred thousands years ago (which were reinforced at first agricultural civilization) and they did it for a good reason of optimization
but things evolved slower back then and people were dumber so essentially these social hierarchies had some merit back then as there was always "the smartest" in the tribe or "the strongest"....
now you are riding high and then fall down the next second
neurodivergents actually love people and what they do and don't do it for social status so they don't realize they won at a game other normie losers are trying soo hard to barely pass
