A person with a 'management' title has no theoretical limit to the top end of their salary. Everyone else does.

I just bought a house in March. Any listing where the home was already vacated (95% in my case) the listing was AI-augmented with furniture that would not exist when I went to tour the home.

This has nothing to do w/renting; it's everywhere.

I was playing on a 53K USR Courier at 185 ping and that was a bit laggy when compared to the LAN at college (even if it was 4xT1s for 25K students). I really want to know how the hell you were able to do anything useful at 500+ms.

the core challenge of renewable energy is it's inconstancy. Physical batteries are a bandaid and long distance grids are a council of despair. The real solution for reliable renewable energy is to just build out four or five times the peak load. Then when it's cloudy or not windy you still have way more power than you need to supply the peak load. But of course this has the problem that you just spent four of five times as much capital. And that's a non-starter. But the easy, though bad solution, to this is bitcoin batteries. Just mine bitcoin with the excess and shut off the mining when it's cloudy .

Now along some AI. What a match made in heaven. A completely portable task. Move the calculation to whatever data center currently has power whether it's Norway or Texas. You can soak up all that excess renwable power. Plus there's plenty of non-real time batch jobs you can run that can adapt. For example training.

Perfect.

Shame the US decided to lose the AI power race by nixing renewables

HA. The whole point of being retro is the hipster aspect of being cooler. But no one can be cool if they are not socially observed as being cool. It's the tree falling in the forest. You are only cool if people know you are cool. Affectations of retro style require humble bragging.

I really need to get some self discipline. As much as I try I keep checking Reddit. I loath myself. The only good thing to happen in the last few years was Elon buying twitter. That made getting unhooked on that time waste easy. But Reddit became my methadone.

I've resolved that I'm going to start hitting you tube for educational videos. Gonna learn Lie Group theory!

The problem is Trump. Everyday I have to see what fresh hell he's caused. Life was so placid when we had Biden or Obama or George Bush. Like them or loathe them it wasn't insanity.

I am sure my dedicated 5080 with cuda can run circles around your mac

> The law "undermines the basis of the cost savings and will lead to bulk billing being phased out," the group said.

Good; it's monopolistic, predatory, and ultimately unnecessary. The entire practice is aimed at driving consistency and forced adoption rates, not anything else.

We are also (I assume) college educated professionals. Not the guys with hs diplomas being fired for being 4 minutes late from their potty break at Walmart where they are treated like kids and can't have their phones out etc. all for 35k a year.

These are American statistics of course. Terrible management who are a different breed rule blue collar jobs. It goes back to slavery and class structure for these roles.

Only 25% are college educated. Terrible work environments motives my education

Is it? Or were many wanting revenge and payback for increasing salaries since 2019 and doing remote work?

The frustrating thing is wages were constant from 2000 to 2019 for most folks. A few professionals they did skyrocket which skewed some data. As a system administrator 75k remained constant for 18 years! Now it is finally like 115k, but adjusted for inflation you are screwed if you tried to buy a home or rent today.

75k could get you a mcmansion in 2000. Today it is not enough for a starter home, even in an affordable area. It is 1 bedroom apartment only.

Meanwhile, CEOs and leadership are furious and think prices need to return not realizing at all that $ sign doesn't have the purchasing power it did for so many years. So yes people are angry at both sides.

You are in a minority.

Statistics I read is 75% of people hate their jobs. Be greateful!

I wonder if it has always been like this or were there times when that number was much lower?

It does impact these criteria as it shows bad leadership and management and culture.

If the culture is treating you like an assembly line worker when you are not, then that damages morale and kills loyality.

Employees who do not want to spend over 2 hours a day and $300 a month in gas just to join Teams meetings in a shared open office when they can do the same at home, so they can be watched by managers who do not believe in remote work or self atanomy and feeling stressed and disgusted by disrepect. SHOCKING!

Musk brought micro management and Style X Management from the 1950s back in style again, and away from Style Y and empowermment. It is all the rage now in leadership. Attendence, attendence, and attendence, and firing if you make a mistake. Forget about trying new innovative things and being creative.

THe pendelumn has swung back to the employers HARD from the employees and it is showing. I wonder if this is revenge syndrome from the C Suite who felt blackmailed to pay people more back when in 2019 they paid the same in 2005 and in office attendance where workers finally got a pay raise and gave the finger to in office work? Now the jobs are paying closer to 2020 levels.

Easy ... this.

Sony can't order chips 2 years ago that will be fast or up to date a chip from next year. That is not how technology works.

  They can work on algorithms or existing hardware to do things at a much smaller scale, but if Sony/'AMD released chips every 2 to e 3 years it would be obsolete anyway.

As soon as a prototype is ready IT MUST GO LIVE within 4 to 6 months or Nvidia/Intel will beat them to the punch.

AMD and Sony have also partnered to make things off camera not render. AI assisted ray tracing researchi s almost done but that takes a efw years.

Obama love him or hate him is very popular.

People would live a return to the good old days. High grocery prices and rent is how Trump won. Plain and simple due to inflation Trump caused that Biden got the blame due to tarp payments and 0% interest rates and artificial scarcity all thrown in together.

I am not saying he should and 1/3 of America is hard core far right wing Maga and would go ballistic but they are not the majority
