wow out of all the comments only one person actually answered the question

My conclusion is that there isn't much value in evaluating 1000s of perspectives, they're the same exact arguments you'd find in any blog or technical documentation comparing the two.

puts usps to shame with their themes like floral geometry and strawberries and schoolbuses

this isn't a measuring contest to see which drug is worse, this is just acknowledging that people can have severe addiction issues with cannabis. Just because you don't die from withdrawals doesn't mean it can't lead to serious quality of life issues and poor mental health.

dabbing all day and vaping oil is in no way comparable to caffeine, cannabis is way more addictive, side effects last longer than 3-4 days as well. People are extremely irritable having lost their main crutch for a month or longer. The fog doesn't lift for about a month. This article is talking about people actually addicted, not like they smoke once a day in the evenings or something.

Most of the plugins are garbage, I just want chatgpt to have up to date knowledge and working natively with more media types. I don't think I've used a single plugin I thought had good results but I love gpt4 for work

> So about the only thing they could do was issue multiple, parallel requests and hope that at least one of them was fast.

lol nobody would do this to solve this problem because it doesn't even remotely solve it or give the appearance of solving it, if anything it's guaranteed to make things go slower

With things like computer graphics you're competing with a very different pool of applicants than you likely were before. People with PhD's and Masters in related fields. I have found success with positioning myself as someone who works on the edges of multiple domains. So if you were a web developer before it would be at an intersection of web development and computer graphics which could be web gl or operationalizing graphics applications for web or cloud integration. This won't work very well at larger companies that have a lot of clear boundaries between positions, but it will work at startups where boundaries are less clearly defined and people wear multiple hats. In summary, try startups and position yourself at the intersection of multiple domains to get your foot in the door.

I like how the team composition is exactly the same but + AI, very illuminating

no it doesn't, I have barely even noticed there is a blackout because there is plenty of content from non blacked out subs. The only thing I've noticed is when I try to visit subreddits I like some of them are blacked out. A 2 day blackout does literally nothing, just virtue signaling

why do these elm hit pieces keep getting dug up and reposted? It's almost always in response to some other elm post (there was one yesterday). People use elm in production at quite a few companies without worrying too much about the concerns laid out in the article, but it feels like people seem almost fervent in their need to justify their reason for leaving elm and why other people shouldn't use elm.

sry if I have reservations about the opinion of a non technical person about a piece of software they don't know how to use.
