Hello, software dev. from the US, but I'm originally from E. Europe and went through Soviet Union collapse, societal disintegration,rampant crime, poverty and seen lot of very high caliber people (PhD scientists/engineers) who unfortunately were thrown into fringe of the society or life completely side-stepped them. What you can do ?
You are 19. Get physically strong (exercise), have a skill(s) to do manual job (like welding) so in case things go bad, you can fall back on it. In the meantime, work on your programming, math skills & imagination.
Good luck !
I would be interested to hear about your experience transitioning to this line of work, since I want to do the same. I'm in my early 40s, software engineer.
Construction sites deaths are gruesome by nature. I feel terrible for those people. Thanks god, we have OSHA (& hopefully, it will not be dismantled as it has been touted)
With Boeing - A fish rots from the head down. Entire upper management needs to go, now and can't work for Boeing or it's subsidiaries or contractors. Nowhere near Boeing.
this is so pathetically sad.
at this point, Intel is basically falling apart as a company, it already sold solid state disk business, server business sold, business making lidars & cameras is gone, already sold stakes in some of the fabs and probably looking to completely sell it's fab business, stake in ARM is sold, now FPGA is being sold, cellphone business is gone as well.
Can someone explain to me what is the Palantir's business model ?
I haven't heard any large, meaningful project they been involved in, but I keep hearing the company name & how hot they are and their stocks are going to blow-up any day (some of my friends kept their stocks for the last 4-5 years with very little gain compared to other software companies).
I know of the smaller software companies that are less than 100 people and have a very meaningful impact in DoD & Gov space.
I live in the US and I have a lot of active duty & ex military members in my close circle of friends. One of the consistent trends I have noticed is the significant uptick in the number of LARPing/cosplaying military videos on Youtube, i.e. tackticool dudes.
I was looking the other day at buying the sport shotgun for shooting clay, went out and did some search on youtube to find out more about the rifle.... the search result brought out pages of (unrelated videos, that youtube thinks you might be interested) videos of dudes in full combat uniforms(+ med kits) shooting weapons at ranges.
Why they wearing all this gear ? My friends who spent years in active war zones wear jeans and T-shirts to the shooting ranges.
To me, those Youtube videos are symptoms that some weird shit brewing in our society and this news is just flares of this symptom.
You are not, the LLM makes bulk of work for you and will choose a lot of things for you for the movie you are making.
>I'm empowered to see the entire vision though.
I think you fail to grasp one important thing about art in general - it is non-verbal by it's nature. You can't go and explain in LLM input some famous painting, it not how it works.
I live in Baltimore, home of Philip Glass (as far as I know, he still lives in Baltimore) and a lot of my friends went to a famous Peabody conservatory. Even after graduation, a lot of them either entirely left music or struggling musicians, who have blue collar jobs.
I remember going to one the local bars and saw a girl working as bartender(she quite attractive), years before that, I saw her playing cello in one of the concerts.
