So you are saying an Ai can be as creative and intuitive as a person?

[–] vrek@programming.dev 2 points 6 hours ago

Ok that makes sense. I wasn't saying those are those only variables just the ones I could theoretically control.

Interesting, I want to know more of your story if you are willing to share.

[–] vrek@programming.dev 1 points 6 hours ago

Ok that's true and valid. But either way that ends up more dollars per hour. If it was an easy question I wouldn't of asked it.

[–] vrek@programming.dev 1 points 7 hours ago

Completely agree, I could go evil. I could embrace the dark side. The question is how should I embrace good side? How should I help you within the means I have?

It's the question of raise vs simplified. Not no raise but you you want a simpler job. But if you had to choose, which and why?

Ok, Netflix example was poor. I meant I was not talking about making your job basically just hanging out. You will still need to do some work. I'm not saying making you work 365/24/7. Easier basically meant removing the parts which cause you extra effort or extra pain. Like I saw a grocery story had little lifts for stuff so if you were putting stuff on the third shelf the lift would be at same height, no need to bend down and lift, just kind of pick up rotate and place on shelf. That will reduce a lot of backpain in people who work those jobs, the job is still required but is easier.

I defined more pay in my original post as 2k-6k usd. As in your gross pay to be exact. So take the even at 4k and you get an extra $77 per week.

Basically it's like this, we can give you a say 4k raise today or we'll remove the parts of your job that are a pain. Not saying globally, I'm saying you or maybe a team and that's it.

If you don't mind me asking, what field are you in?

[–] vrek@programming.dev 2 points 8 hours ago (4 children)

Even with that said, current job current growth and current potential etc, which would make you happier?

[–] vrek@programming.dev 2 points 8 hours ago

I never said reducing it. I meant same pay for easier job.

 

What I mean is everyone wants both. And I'm not talking huge differences. I don't mean go from 30k per year to 120k per year or going home sweating everyday to watching Netflix most days. What brought the question up was I was in hospital and the computer the scanned all the medication and machines into was on my right side of bed and Iv pole where all medications were on my left. Nurses also had to deal with wired scanners which they had to hold up above the bed to walk around. Not a huge problem but cover 30 rooms with 4-16 different medications to swap out per day was probably a major pain(nurses can chime in disagreeing).

Another thing I've seen is people in a warehouse with systems logging all locations a product could be in and saying yeah we have some of that in one of these and they have to walk around to check several locations to find which still has some.

So you want a 2k-6k raise... If your job was easier how much would that make you stay instead of just demanding a raise?

Edit: this is not a real situation but say I have 4 employees under me and an extra 25k in budget. Would you prefer a raise or to improve your job?

If you can't tell does it matter?

Then you will learn same skill for slop most likely

 

Unrelated to topic but I was in hospital recently and nurses came around to do vital,blood pressure oxygen temperature.i was having a high blood pressure. Often I lay with crossed legs but a nurse told me to uncross my legs and blood pressure went down. Why why cross legs increase blood pressure ?

 

Obviously like prescriptions are different to ensure safety and dosages and such. I mean like the notes to show that you or your child actually went to the doctor. Has anyone ever called like "hi, yeah so I just wanted to confirm my employee John saw your employer yesterday and confirm they are a real doctor"

I can't imagine any manager actually has enough free time and enough pettiness to actually do that, am I wrong?

Running Debian sid and it mostly works (still struggling with Nvidia drivers for video). Last night I was watching a video and everything was fine, sound worked. Son was in room "asleep". I left to use bathroom and then he came looking for me. I don't know what happened while I was in bathroom but now I hear nothing out of speakers. If I reboot into windows sound works so it's not a physical issue. Reboot back into Linux no sound. Boot off flash drive Linux, no sound but I think that was always true and was a alsamixer issue on flash drive Linux setups. Volume on YouTube turned to 100, verified not muted, volume in KDE at 100 and not muted. Physical volume on speakers at 100, volume knob on keyboard at 100 and mute not engaged. All volume sliders in alsamixer maxed out. Simple setup, 2.1 speaker system plugged into sound output on motherboard no mixer or fancy equipment.

Son is non-verbal and severally autistic so I can't ask him. Whatever happened was almost definitely an accident but I can't figure out what happened. I see like a lighter bar moving on the KDE volume slider which seems to match expected video audio so I believe KDE is receiving the signal to play sound but nothing comes out of speakers. He struggles to feed himself soup or cereal so it's not like he found some super secret command and is playing joke. Something seems to be accidently hit and is blocking sound... Maybe a mute hot key not synced to main audio controls so it's not obvious that it's active???

Edit... This is solved. KDE mixer and alsamixer made no change but changing the output in pavucontrol fixed it. I have no idea why or how. Thanks for everyone who recommended it.

 

Those companies were all found to be pyramid schemes!

 

Well first someone would need to put a bank inside a whale...

 

I'm not looking for Chromecast but I have a Linux system hooked up to a TV and ether net. I want a way to pick a YouTube or Amazon prime or Netflix video on my phone and display it on the TV via the Linux pc. Is that possible? If so what software can do it?

 

I don't expect much but I found an old pi I bought probably 2016(may of been 2017). It was supposed to be a pi-hole but was never able to get the dns forwarding to work on my modem. It still works but wanted to somehow convert it to a regular distro(it's based on a micro-SD and I don't have any more microsd readers). I wanted to set it up as a basic system I could ssh into a terminal. Not expecting anything fancy or even graphic based. A lot of stuff I want to learn/practice "work" on windows but are native to Linux, like vim/neovim nmap gcc etc. Is this feasible? Am I under estimating what's possible with it?

I thought of this after a recent bug I found. I use Vivaldi browser and recently it updated. After the update my mouse cursor was not visible when within the browser window. Other programs worked fine. I tried visual studio and steam and epic game store all had my mouse, Vivaldi didn't.

I closed all instances of Vivaldi via task nanager(was unable to click the x) and restarted it. That fixed the bug and I haven't been able to replicate so I don't have anything to submit for a bug report. Just a really strange thing.

What have been your weirdest bugs?
