New comment by Gwarzo in "A Video Game That Pays: Lessons Learned from Working Remotely"

Gwarzo — Mon, 06 Nov 2023 15:15:19 +0000

Catchy title. I work from home as an MSP Enterprise Network Engineer - nothing about work feels anything remotely similar to video games.

I think I'm qualified to know, as I spend way too much time playing video games.

Interesting name.. I too have dreams where I procreate.

I think people are taking the chat bots way... way.. way too seriously.

Am I the only one already bored by GPT/others?

I would almost want to create a new thread for this, but what is the use case of a tablet? Is this for fulltime physical meeting goers to stylishly take notes?

Is there some benefit to using this over a laptop?

New comment by Gwarzo in "Consciousness is not computation"

Gwarzo — Mon, 20 Jun 2022 03:20:03 +0000

This is a little bit of an emotional take I think.

The burden of proof is on the claim that you can get there through computation, not otherwise.

We do not understand the fundamental reality of consciousness, this does not mean that consciousness is magic. The assertion that you cannot get there from computation implies there is a currently non understood yet essential piece of physics(I assume, but I do not know) which doesn't fall under "computation". A laymans initial thoughts point this towards the quantum realm.

The subjects of the equality in discussion - i.e human beings or, "we"

New comment by Gwarzo in "Research helps explain how Ritalin sharpens attention"

Gwarzo — Sun, 01 May 2022 20:01:32 +0000

Took Ritalin/Concerta most of my life, this is very wrong. Ritalin is Methylphenidate and only Methylphenidate.

Variables are dosage in MG, XR or IR.

Nobody does; he's providing an anecdote.

This is abuse and ends in one way and one way only lol. Why did you do this?

New comment by Gwarzo in "Ask HN: I realise data science is not for me and feel depressed"

Gwarzo — Tue, 01 Mar 2022 17:57:30 +0000

This is my current difficulty - I work as a neteng for a large MSP in my area.

I quit university after my 2nd semester co-op during undergrad (to work at my current firm), I have since been promoted four times and now work as a senior engineer (though I cannot technically use this title). Trying to move firms now after working for 5 years, It is incredibly difficult for other firms to accept that I've been working in the field successfully given that I do not have a completed degree. On one hand, I have skill now that I could have never earned in school - on another hand I may have gimped my ability to move deep into the upper half of the first six figures salary.

New comment by Gwarzo in "Namecheap: Russia Service Termination"

Gwarzo — Tue, 01 Mar 2022 05:02:47 +0000

This is a meaningless change done for the CEO/CTO's personal ego and/or PR.

This does absolutely zero to affect what is going on. ZERO.

New comment by Gwarzo in "Ukraine calls on hacker underground to defend against Russia"

A sort of side comment, but I absolutely despise this type of thinking.

"before you cause someone to go to jail"

If you take legal advice from pseudo anonymous users on aggregate websites you deserve to go to jail. Even in writing that, the users did not "cause" anyone to go to jail; the moron reading and acting on that comment did. Have some respect for individuality mate.

He's not jumping to a conclusion, and I would suggest you add to the arguments instead of patronizing.

This really is it - all you have to do is consistently be around the opposite sex while being generally likeable and care about your appearance. Eventually SOMEONE is going to find you attractive.

"Right. It’s our fault, that is, men’s. We live in a society in which we we have disproportionately had the power. And this is the result."

This is an incredibly asinine take.

"And pointing to the decline of religion isn't very helpful for us atheists"

Pointing to something that is true doesn't need to be helpful. Making the statement it's not helpful to you, is helpful to noone.

Why is that bogus? He's just making an extremely loose claim.

We do know with certainty global testosterone and sperm count is going down.

New comment by Gwarzo in "I was deceived about Covid vaccine safety"

Gwarzo — Mon, 24 Jan 2022 19:53:53 +0000

This is none of the above. Language like the above is used to defend and employ censorship.

Use your big boy brain; this is a persons opinion piece - regardless of whether any of it is evil, good, correct, incorrect you need to employ context.

This is not the bible, this is one person publishing their thoughts to the internet. Keep that in mind always when you read someone's dogshit opinion. "intentional misinformation" is laughable.

It's an opinion piece.. why would you need to copy paste arguments that "DESTROY THIS IDIOTS OPINION!!!!!"

It's just a single persons opinion; take it, dismiss it, do whatever you want with it.

Why do you need to copy other peoples comments to your shitty friends to defend yourself.
