No no no, didn’t you see the MMA training. He’s a real tough guy. Very masculine and strong.

> Rest assured, this will likely come with no small amount of grift.

I naturally expect this money to go to tech companies who have time and time again proven their ability to innovate and thrive in the bleeding edge: basically Oracle.

I hope everyone gets it that it is sarcasm, painful as it is.

Oracle innovate? This must be sarcasm.

> but not enough to completely collapse the world economy and return to the feudalism they wanted.

Don’t worry, wealthy drug addict pedophiles in Silicon Valley are carrying that torch now.

> Net jobs seems to be going down.

The jobs that are created a just bullshit jobs.

I took someone to the ER recently. It maybe took 5-6 people, mostly in poorly paid low level medical positions to take a couple images and maybe administer a shot.

The kicker is the last guy was some remote worker in god knows where who’s sole job seems to be to appear in a screen to collect some small details from the patient and tell them how much the bill was. That’s it! Healthcare I believe is the single biggest industry as far as employment goes these days. It’s basically a jobs program.

> So do you only secure your computer networks after they’ve been hacked?

Idk seems to be an industry standard.

> But some of us just want to get something out of our heads and built without months of back and forth with a developer.

This website is called Hacker News, but at this point it should be renamed IdeaGuyNews. Hardly any hackers here anymore.

Hacking something together can indeed be plugging in various pieces together.

> Embedded systems? Like sim cards?

Serious question: I remember the old installer, six billion devices or whatever. I’ve heard about Java ME, old set-top boxes and DVD players, etc.

But how much of that is active today. I can’t say I’ve ever seen a job listing for an embedded Java developer or even Java ME in my entire career. Are people actually still using it?

Actually yes. Pretty much most credit cards are in fact JavaCards.

Weird but true, and quite obscure.

Yeah I didn't mean it as praise for Java (SE, ME, or whatever), but I don't think you're better off finding embedded WebAssembly jobs

https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasm-micro-runtime https://github.com/WebAssembly/wabt/blob/main/wasm2c/README....

ISTR Siemens uses wasm2c to compile Wasm for a bunch of embedded devices runninng Zephyr RTOS.

Fair point, but translating to C is almost cheating ;)

Sure, but it's a trick not available to most JVM languages.

How much money do I need to get a suit that’s not miserable in 90f+ humid heat where even stepping outside in shorts and a t-shirt has you sweating after a few minutes?

I don't think it's necessarily the suit in that case. As a Florida resident, however, I like my Tommy Bahama suit's breathability but it might not be formal enough for every occasion. There's also some "super breathable" suit that I see being advertised a lot, but I haven't tried one of those.

There's a reason suits were not invented in such weather

Gaikwar - which I was able to guess was a former Indian state seems irrelevant as an “English” word especially given it seems to derive from a name that I have to assume is native to the region.

> We have a product used in call centers. It turns out ai is amazing in triaging (surveying) people. We can ask a question in English and if they respond n another language (any language) the ai will switch to that language, ask its questions, and then give us the answers in English. This was stuff that was impossible 10-years-ago.

That’s great, but the problem is wayyy more companies are using AI so they can drop the call center and just offer you no real way to talk to a person and no real way to resolve problems any more complicated than the lowest common denominator.
