If you work with computers as an engineer you work in tech, I don’t make the rules sorry

So you do work in tech, gotcha

That definitely changes things yeah. Hope he’s in a better place now!

Why are you commenting on a post about technical interviews for engineers then
185.
by amrocha 11mo ago
I’m gonna assume you’re being facetious here. I’ve been in tech for 15 years and I’ve never met a “nepotism hire”. Most of my coworkers have been incredible people. But in case you’re serious, there’s an old saying that says if everywhere

The real problem will be in 5 years, when current university students having their brains melted by AI that somehow luck into entry level positions can’t ever get to senior level because they’re too reliant on AI and they literally don’t kn

There is no world where the technology that exists as we understand it leads to your techno dystopia in any way. These models can’t even do continuous learning yet. There’s no evidence that the current tech will ever evolve beyond what it i

Now imagine your accountant can ask AI to write a formula that calculates EBITDA so he can go back to gambling on basketball faster

When your government is as incompetent as you can get while avoiding a revolution people start to gamble. The rise of gambling in the US does indicate an economic hopelessness that mirrors Argentina, but it’s not quite to the same level yet

Looking it up online, it looks like Edmonton experienced -40C as recently as 2022. That’s probably the minimum and the average was a lot higher though.

I trust humans to not be able to shoot the company on the foot without even realizing it. Why are we suddenly ok with giving every underpaid and exploited employee a foot gun and expect them to be responsible with it???

That’s not true, Alberta and Manitoba do get that cold, and even colder during extreme events. The territories also deal with these temperatures as well. But if necessary those places can stick to ICE and the rest of Canada where the vast m

Ok, so why should we allow the inferior European product that needs protection to compete with the superior Chinese product?

Tangential, but when I heard the Zoom CEO say that in the future you’ll just send your AI double to a meeting for you I couldn’t comprehend how a real human being could ever think that that would be an ok thing to suggest. The absolute bare

Like you said, they do have significantly different policies regardless of the fact that they’re in the same general parties, so maybe it doesn’t make much sense to lump them so together. Local politics are very different from national poli

How is that related to allowing European car manufacturers in but not Chinese ones?

The Paris government reducing car usage in the city is not the same politicians that are subsidizing the national car industry.

Canadians love to exaggerate how cold it gets. None of the 4 biggest Canadian cities have EVER had -40C temperatures. No, wind chill does not count. In fact, most years they’re not even getting to -30C, and if it does happen it’s only for 1

Europe has barriers keeping Chinese cars out because otherwise they couldn’t compete. Why should Canada rely on an inferior manufacturer?

First, dependence on the US hasn’t exactly worked out very well for us the past year. As a smaller nation, Canada has to be dependent on its trade with more powerful nations, and that comes with risks regardless of what nation we’re depende

I can’t tell if this is a joke. The Apollo mission did crash and burn and kill people.

The USA lost the space race by every measure.

It’s hard to believe this is not a rage bait AI comment given the last paragraph. Both are terrible for society but I use facebook tools so Chinese app bad, USA app good i guess? Is that what you’re trying to say?

This is a simplistic, individualistic view of the impact of AI. You’re imagining the world we have today, but with AI. In reality it’ll be a world that’s completely different, and most likely in a worse way, and AI is the tool used to make

I’m glad I can call my parents to ask them for money for groceries after I was laid off

Young people are forced to move to wherever job opportunities are due to how hyper optimized the economy has become, so I would say most people spend way less time with family than 30 years ago

The trend goes back way further than 2020

At most places yeah

People aren’t fungible. The senior engineer you’ve trained for a couple years is way more effective than the one that joined yesterday.
