Sir, the 300th job application has hit the kanban (I only started seriously doing this in April while also actually having a real job)

Committing terrorism is probably a more lucrative business than applying for companies using Workday or icims I hate making accounts for every single company I'm so glad my password manager lets me make one password for each overall system only for my CV to be scanned by AI and immediately chucked into the bin

@twl Andressen, Musk, Zuckerberg and the rest don't actually believe in anything besides surface level "libertarianism" (so they can treat their employees like shit and not have to pay taxes) they just want power so they pretend to be buddy-buddy with whoever seems to be on the ascendant. 10 years ago it was the [ostensibly] left, now it's the [ostensibly] right.
Silicon Valley types are some of the most soulless people that exist. They don't believe in much of anything besides money and self-enrichment and will lie, cheat and steal their way to the top

Rightoids when they realise that super rich people play whatever side they believe will win and help the result that helps them most win: 😱

@RustyCrab oh that makes sense and has existed in spaces like manufacturing since the 80s. They still manufacture 486 class CPUs for old manufacturing systems that have existed forever.
The job I interviewed for today (a somewhat prominent mnufacturer of windows for new houses) has a bunch of those. Expanding them outside of that space would be an interesting idea. I remember the POS systems at my retail job just being those little Intel NUCs they used to make.
On that last point yeah that'll be impossible to make writing malware truly impractical it'd be like making a car that couldn't kill its occupants or pedestrians, a functional product but nothing like it originally was intended to be

@RustyCrab The obvious devil's advocate is that hardware has a monetary cost that software does not and our current economic system is based on making the cost of production as low as humanly possible (or lower) that the increased cost and complexity of having everything apart isn't worth it.
Plus if I remember my computing history a lot of things that used to exist on the motherboard (the old "north bridge", memory on newer ARM MacBooks) got moved to the CPU package because the speeds required were so high it that separating it wasn't just a cost problem but also a latency problem because electrons can only go so fast. The tolerances for the most recent PCI-E generations is extremely close to being 0 because if one of the circuit leads is a micron too long the timings will fail
t. Studied this kind of engineering in university [which means nothing]
