GPU programming has to be one of the highest paying jobs in the game industry, and it can transition quite easily into other industries as well. Mostly because it’s not an entry-level position. On top of being a solid C++ developer, you need to understand the entire hardware stack and be able to optimize shaders at the instruction level while juggling things like occupancy, memory coalescing, and other low level performance concerns.
I really hope Google discontinues this project soon (that’s kind of their specialty). I find it frustrating when chatbots/LLMs adopt real names as their brand identities.
This still doesn't work for me. I have to actively think about the problem, find a solution, and write the code myself. Outsourcing these efforts makes my learning ineffective.
I will keep using LLMs for 1 week greenfield hobby projects that I don't plan to revisit. But no matter how good LLMs get, I will never use them in my dailyjob, otherwise, I risk losing touch with the codebase.
> in some languages like French natives basically refuse to speak to you
I've never seen this happen, but I do notice a lot of tourists asking for services or starting conversations without saying 'hello' or 'bonjour,' which is considered disrespectful in France
> The speed run of the French engineer is to be admitted to a good engineering school, to be recruited on diploma in a large state body, to spend 3-5 years there with a low salary but great responsibility, to be recruited by a Swiss or American company, profit.
Your comment is on point, though I’d slightly adjust the part about French engineers career goal. From my experience, many French engineering peers were not even aware that companies in France (Big Tech or Fortune 500) could offer six-figure salaries. They also often have never heard of leetcode/system design/behavioral interviews. They assume their career trajectory depends almost entirely on the ranking/prestige of their engineering school (which is true for french companies), but in practice, most U.S. recruiters/companies don’t even know what a French engineering school is. A bachelor/master degree and a good grind on leetcode is enough for them.
For most students I studied with, the dream is to secure a 45K~50k salary right after graduation, and target 80k as an end-of-career goal, by following this path:
This seems to be the case for most European countries, particularly here in France. We’re experiencing stagnation, or perhaps even a decline. Launching a product in Europe is significantly more challenging due to the market’s high fragmentation.
I don’t have much hope for the future of tech companies in Europe.
I'm a graphics developer, looking for a 6-month internship (in my final year of a master's degree in CS) in the field of GPU/graphics programming.
I previously created my own cross-platform 3D engine (GL/C++) and used it to create the game Exploration Craft, which has more than 55 million downloads across Android/iOS. And more recently, used it for the incoming game Spaceflight Factory on Steam (a factorio like game).
I'm interested to join, but I'm not doing it fulltime (I went back to uni to get a master degree).
As a side project I'm developing a factory game (conveyor belts/factories/insertors..) with some Spaceflight Simulation game mechanics [1]
I'm planning on releasing the full game this December, but the game is already not doing so well (only 4K wishlists. 12K is recommended for a successful launch)
I was working on a game part-time for 1 year. The game is mix of Factorio + Stardeus (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1358970/Cyber_Factories/).
After releasing an early demo on Steam, the game seemed to be of little interest to anybody (only 1300 wishlists after one year).
I had two publishers reaching to me, but their funding offers were too low for me to consider working full time on the game and ship a finished product (I would need 18 month fulltime to finish the game).
So due to a lack of interest from the audience, I just cancelled the project.
As much as I dislike the whole crypto space, I can see how crypto stable coins (which comes with it's own risk...) could help Russian people secure their savings against government seizing and also fight against the devaluation of their currency.
Difficult ? This is one of the less difficult election in a long time, Macron already won this election before it even began.
All the top candidates (JLM, MLP, Z) were preaching Putin a few month agos and blaming NATO/EU here an there (It's not a secret there campaigns are financed by russian banks). And they are now trying to keep a low profile about the situation in Ukraine.
A few weeks ago Macron was already far ahead, but in a few days It won't be even close.
Are they being charged for stealing? I thought the concept of crypto is to be you own bank, So as long as you have the private key, you are now technically the owner.
What if two people generate the same private key. Who is the owner ?
Another malicious developer most likely used his source code and republished/spammed the Google play store with the said reskin.
The original developer, is now associated with the malicious developer and has his account terminated.
It's not the first time an open source project gets removed from the Google store for "prior violations of the developer program policies".
