No, I used my real name for stack overflowing and not willing to link it to this account

I did the same and would still have a question closed as a dupe, with a link to the question I had already explained was different from my situation.

no, its my fucking opinion. I didnt say it was fact. You see the word "believe" in that text?

Well it’s currently negatively affecting my life in every aspect other than being an upgrade to searches.

I don’t discount its capabilities since around April of this year, it passed my bar for being able to do amazing things. But it has also made any interaction I’ve had with companies a living nightmare and appears to have permanently deleted my career and knocked me down 1-2 economic classes.

They may end up doing shitty things but the group has buy in from a lot more people than one asshole deciding how we get to live our life.

No, they are single individuals who have more speech than me via dollars. They are groups of people. I may have problems with particular unions or particular actions but they’re a million times better than a single illegal immigrant being able to manipulate politics on his own whims.

They’d stop meddling in elections for at least one notable illegal immigrant billionaire

Why do I need to care about profitability as a business if I can capture a shrinking market? /s

It feels like a related statement to someone willing to burn their own country to rule over the ashes.

Using GAAP or woo woo logic?

What AI lab is profitable?

And in before ‘JumpCrissCross chimes in about inference being profitable while ignoring all the investment costs needed to get inference to where it is.

The site looks like it got hugged to death.

I’m on the monarch migration path and had wild milkweeds with monarch butterflies for a few years but the last 2-3 years oleander aphids exploded in population and I’ve seen a single caterpillar since.

Are there ways to mitigate that while not killing the monarchs or am I just shit out of luck?

Just 300? I’m at about 2000-3000. Just got my latest rejection after 5 rounds and 3 weeks.

At this point I can’t afford to apply to tech jobs anymore. They require you to be available for an hour randomly across multiple days and have shit like the ceo “needing” to meet you and then rescheduling last second because something more important than you came up.

All the jobs available to someone changing career right now give you maybe a days head up on your schedule and a 30 minute lunch if your lucky.

The interview process for tech has become a class barrier in of itself

There have been millions of software engineers since Microsoft founded.

The field may mint millionaires at a higher rate but it’s still not routine.
