Orkiec posted:There's been talk on increasing the minimum salary of H1B applicants to $130K. I feel like that's too high and should be weighted compared to market salaries for developers in the area, but it would cut down on those kind of companies. 130 is too low, should be at least 140, probably 150. My guess is we fill every single available slot at 150. The goddamn implementation for 89% of H1 b workers now is like a Spanish galley, you work and you pull at the oars and one loving sick day and you're back 20 miles from Bangalore. Meanwhile, people that have lived here for 10 years and make enough to have a house and a family in Marin County have to fight tooth and nail to keep their H1B. I say gently caress the h1-b and give them green cards, and let them find their own value in the marketplace. And let families over on the green cards while were at it.

Aha, anything that can colonize space will look more like a tech nightmare than a human. Sci-fi is fun but space is loving hostile to beings that evolved for gravity and a magnetosphere.

This Is the Zodiac posted:When 3D TVs were a thing, 3D sports broadcasts seemed like the perfect hook to bring people in, but none of the pro leagues ever bought in on it. Aha, I was (marginally) part of that with the NBA. Everybody loved it until they realized that they needed to shoot it twice, and nobody without a zillion dollar setup AND 3D glasses would ever watch the 3D version. Plus they shot HFR and infinite depth-of-field so watching the dude in the stands pick his nose was just as interesting as the game, more so after you’ve seen the same footage a few times.

Most of the repair places around here are ‘Apple Certified’ and can do these kinds of repairs. Apple even sends people to some of them instead of the Apple store that’s really close by making appointments available sooner. Not fanboying Apple but that seems to me a missed point.

I once actually had to prove I previously worked at a company like 7 years previously that no longer existed; it was absorbed into larger companies and he history was long gone. Eventually I found a pay stub. This was enough. And the hiring company really wanted me, it was nuts.

Apple ruthlessly dropping support for Intel-based products isn’t a surprise. I’m old enough that I spent student loan money on a Motorola-based ‘power Mac’, and I’ll still paying it off.

withak posted:Maybe OP should teach their kid that pickles and ketchup are fine and then they could order off the menu. Sounds good until you have a child that will literally rather starve themselves than eat something that has mixed smooth and crunchy textures. Agonizing as a parent. They do grow out of it, eventually.

The Bing one sucks for technical questions that you can’t find with Bing/Google trivially, it just repeats the top Bing answers slightly reworded (and patently wrong) then links to them. It’s worse than normal Bing because you need to wait for that stupid pretend typing bullshit and you get only one wrong answer or right answer to the wrong question). I like to eliminate an entire page of wrong or irrelevant links on a guess, thanks.

Barrel Cactaur posted:Actually the way these ai systems work is an awful lot like an acid trip. They have a bunch of random signals that they try and recognize, which layers slight distortions that make it look more like a particular object as it shifts around. It repeats this until it's ability to recognize objects is convinced the pseudorandom blob in front of it is Sean Connery in a leprechaun outfit. It draws this and tells the world it met Sean Connery on a spirit journey. *Technically I didn’t read this I said it when I was high.

I hooked my Samsung dishwasher up to the home network because the manual implied there were settings not available elsewhere. There were not any new settings, just a horrible UI for doing the equivalent of pushing the buttons on the door. Who would start their dishwasher remotely when they weren’t near it? It’s the thing you do right after you add detergent.

Medium is monthly pay-for-site and substack is optional pay-per-writer, price determined by writer (free is fine). Like Patreon exclusively for writing. I’ve been told its pretty well done as a platform. But as a the interview covers, there’s no discovery, so twitter serves that purpose. If Elon had a quarter of a brain he’d buy substack at a huge discount or rip it off, not have a fit that they’re trying to fix their own problems. Given his drive to monetize the site I’d bet that’s underway anyway as a shittier version of OF/ Patreon. Given substack’s median user they should have merged with Truth Social.

There's a market opening for least-goofy-looking VR headset, and since HoloLens is AR and being discontinued, this means Apple wins by default.

Kroger is a union shop, so using the self-checkout is scabbing. Kroger is also damned close to a monopoly, so they don’t need to staff appropriately.
