Finally a job safe from AI!


Hell, Google pays Junior Engineers less than that in Bangalore.


Could you give me an example differentiating detail oriented work vs analysis oriented work?


I was shopping for washing machines last summer and looking at huge "AI" stickers on the more expensive ones gave me a headache.


>obfuscate your privacy.

Edward Snowden says hello.


> they consistently fail to understand the very delicate choices that it made to ensure optimal performance.

Do you have an example?


I'd imagine it'd be a reasonable tradeoff for disabled people who can't use their hands.


As someone who's still learning English, this is one thing I'd never use AI for, at least not in the near future, simply because thinking and structuring my thoughts before typing is the same as it is before speaking and actually talking to other people can't be outsourced to AI.

But I imagine if I'd been a native speaker I wouldn't mind using AI like OC does since it's a convenience. Same way I use a calculator for two digit multiplications in real life but spent years learning to do it manually in school.


You're probably further into english than I am into vietnamese, but I really like using AI to help me improve my vocabulary and understanding of the language.

I avoid using AI as a direct translation tool, but its super useful for me to translate complex english ideas to vietnamese.


As a native English Speaker I can tell you that I would have some trouble talking out an email. I like the back and forth in my head of editing as I go. Text messaging may be fine but email is more difficult for me to just talk through.

I am loving the conversation here though of how people are using speech to talk to LLMs or not though, it is something that no one talks about much


> to rename the game executable to hl2.exe

This seems genuinely unbelievable. Does anyone have a technical explanation for this?


gpu drivers detect games, among other thing by looking at executable names

then driver "optimizes" behavior, sometimes dishonestly (reducing precision), sometimes honestly (working around game engine stupidity)


Couldn't that also cause glitches since optimizations meant for HL2 might not work for, say San Andreas? I understand some optimizations might be universal but I can't help but think about unexpected behavior.


Yes.

A lot of people use Nvidia profile inspector to enable reBar on all games and claim that Nvidia is purposely holding back performance, but doing this causes many games to crash.


Who's problem is this?

Nvidia probably doesnt officially say anything about this and 99.9% of people do not rename process name


It's definitely Nvidia's problem if this breaks something. Nothing in the D3D/OpenGL specs says that you can (not) use certain executable names.


Yeah, I'm sure NVIDIA is going to get around to "fixing" a decade's old industry standard for something that contributes less than 10% of their revenue.


of course they do.

nvidia even has an official api for a game to identify itself so they dont need to look at executable name


Phrasing, I wasn't blaming anyone, just curious about the technicalities.


I've had the opposite experience with all the math nerds that I know. End of the day it's all anecdotal ig https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Mathematician%27s_Apology
