I think coding experts who are only experts at writing code will also be hit pretty hard. Every problem given to them is solved by writing code, and only code, their way and only their way. I think people like that are having a very hard ti

That’s like saying if you can dunk in 8th grade you could be the next LeBron James. A LOT more things have to fall perfectly in place at the perfect time for that end result to materialize.

It's useful for both me and the company, I work in consulting and these certs are an easy metric for clients to understand. The bonus structure was setup so that we can go to market with "X people certified in Y" as a feather

The scoring system is complicated but it comes down to passing about 4 new ones per year and then passing the renewal exams for all my current certs. Each exam takes about a month for me to be ready, maybe a total of 40 or so hrs. I have a

I do actually enjoy them and they’re pretty much all in my wheel house. Well I enjoy them when I have plenty of time to sit down with a cup of coffee and study. A few times I’ve been under basically deadline pressure to get the exams passed

It’s probably wise to learn how to build one to understand what you’re dealing with. However, if I were 17 I would lean how to apply an LLM to a problem instead of strictly building one.

My work came up with a bonus structure around a certain set of industry certifications. I looked at all the certifications available and worked out a strategy to max the bonus each year. It comes out to about $2.5k/month. So my side hu

As a client you can hit a server as much and as often as you like. The only thing the server can do is return an error code or try to hold the socket open (which the client can then close on their own).

if you can't stand AI and it's making your life miserable maybe you're in a simulation created by an advanced AI and being punished for not being pro-ai when you were actually alive as a warning to others. /s

I live in DFW Texas, use to be when you heard the tornado sirens you hit the deck. Now they go off, not kidding, for pingpong ball hail and “high winds”. That’s basically 1 out of every 4-5 spring/summer thunderstorms.

Yeah COVID really showed the darker side of HN. It was madness and still sticks out in my mind. Any question that didn't toe the line was shouted down from all sides. Don't forget Youtube was even censoring content then. It was a

That would be really good news for Anthropic. Their main competitor owned by a government would be a dream come true.

Nothing has been taken from you. If writing software brings you joy then write software. Or do you mean a path to riches and elite exclusivity you have in your head has been taken from you? The hard fact is you’re just not that important. I

That’s what I do. Sensible firewall rules with ufw, turn off services I don’t use, follow the docs for the services I do. For a handful of servers the maintenance overhead is fine.

My apologies too but I’m referring to terminator 1 so the Arnold version not the t1000. Reese describes this to Sarah the night John was conceived iirc.

Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not but what you’re describing is Terminator. Early models were detectable by dogs because of rubber skin but newer models were cyborgs and had actual human skin and so were not as easily detectable a
