"Maybe you just suck at it. Coding with AI assistance is a learned skill"

How do you get the software to not hallucinate functions or even entire libraries which do not exist at all? Even in writing a very small shell script the software makes these kinds of error, and then some more, like hallucinating flags and arguments which do not exist either.

Comment If companies are bringing people over (Score 1) 56

It's because they need them here. The cost of living and therefore wages paid in India are a fraction of what they pay here.

Just like it didn't work with Hitler appeasement doesn't work with your boss or with mega corporations.

Comment Trump can waive the fees (Score 1, Informative) 56

That's the dirty Little secret nobody is talking about the president, AKA trump, can waive the fees at will.

There's a bunch of H-1B stuff in my feed that comes from the pro H1B side because I searched for it and once you search for something Google doesn't understand so just gives you whatever.

The pro H1B side has already calmed down and they're no longer worried. This doesn't apply to existing H-1B recipients and Trump can waive the fees.

This is just Trump soliciting bribes again and putting himself in a position where he can exert pressure to get late night talk show hosts taken off the air.

It's not going to have any effect on your job prospects. Once again Trump is not your friend Trump is Trump's friend

Comment There's stealth layoffs (Score 2, Insightful) 27

And there so they don't have to pay severance and unemployment.

So yeah of course if you want one of the people they're trying to lay off they don't really care if you come in the office.

This is the kind of nonsense you get when you refuse to pass laws to protect workers' rights and you refuse to organize to protect those rights. It's going to get a lot worse.

Once again drinkypoo goes to great lengths to expose his stupidity for the world to see with another uninformed, idiotic Slashdot post.

Oh look, whoever you are. Nobody knows you.

The 90s and early 2000s was the peak of automotive engineering in the USA

And American cars were still shit. If you RTFA I linked you'll see that the best of the 90s and 2000s were not what was destroyed.

Now go off to cry to someone else about your tiny penis, you will not be missed.

Comment Low level customer service jobs have been replaced (Score 1) 47

Sales force among others have given us hard numbers and they would be in deep shit with investors and the SEC if they were lying about that.

I can tell you that if I contact a company I hit a chatbot first and then if that doesn't work I hit a more advanced and more computationally intensive chatbot. I don't know how far up the ladder I would have to do to speak to a person but I suspect it's probably three layers at least.

Also if you're selling something scammy which a lot of sales is about selling things that are scammy then chatbots can often do better because they have absolutely no hesitation and no conscience. Good salesman also have that but there aren't a lot of good salesman so they tend to command a high salary.

I know there are a lot of old farts around here and I can pretty much guarantee some of us started in shitty customer service help desk jobs it just aren't going to exist anymore. You can't work your way up the ladder you're either born into it or you can go fuck yourself. With the exception of the occasional random freak of nature genius that the elites will rise up or just a random kid they pick for fun.

Comment So the drones really only matter (Score 1) 58

Because Russia can't get proper air superiority. America would have completely bombed the shit out of any country we attacked long before drones could be a factor.

The drones mostly do not take out even Russian planes. I get a notification in my YouTube feed when one of them does because it makes the news. The problem with the drones is that they make it basically impossible to do an occupation.

It should be noted that because of that if Russia ever does take Ukraine they will kill everyone there in a total and complete genocide. I think some of them of course will be shipped off to Siberia and what not for slave labor but everyone else has to die because Russia does not have the ability to occupy Ukraine while the ukrainians are still alive.

The real problem though with America is as our country and empire collapses we're going to start invading other countries just like every other failing empire does. We will start with Canada and Mexico and South America but it won't be long until we move on to Europe and eventually China.

And we absolutely do not care if you have nukes because any country crazy enough to elect Donald Trump twice isn't going to believe nukes are real. If nothing else we will convince ourselves that Trump's golden dome will protect us along with Jesus.

We're already in a second civil war. It was started by the left years ago.

We never finished the first one. The losers were allowed to keep their flags and their guns. Instead of trying to be one big happy country we should have freed all the Africans and enslaved the Southerners, since they love slavery so much. Then we could have them picking fruit right now.

In fact, a significant percentage of them will probably get Windows 11 installed on them using the bypasses...

If that's the case, why won't the current owners just do that? Are we too stupid/lazy/rich to do that

Mostly too rich. There are potential problems we don't want to deal with, and will pay to avoid it.

so they can be used by people that get their power from coal-fired power plants and run native language OS versions with English keyboards?

They can probably get local character set equipped key caps from China.
