If you ain't in the Valley then forget about it Leif.

We want clever EE and CEs that get out of 3 years, not poindexters too afraid to leave school.

I got out after 3 years, but nobody in the valley wanted me (because I'm competing with MIT and Stanford graduates). I actually figured that getting a PhD was my best chance at getting an interesting job internationally.

Also, it's not like I have zero work experience. I worked full-time during my master's degree and for a year afterwards, before realising that I had to get a PhD to get anywhere in this world.

Chloe or Boxxy?

Boxxy, no doubt.

OK if you know everything what is this shit?

Are you nervous to box Floyd? How does it feel to hold 2 UFC championship belts?

This

Who are you even talking about

Am I a bad dude for taking creepshots of my best mate's girlfriend's ass? Follow-up: What do. I do if my best mate catches me creeping on his bitch?

U still got to do Java?

rolling for this. Explain

Looks like conor mcgregor

KORFOR

I don't know.

>Are you nervous to box Floyd?
Yes

>How does it feel to hold 2 UFC championship belts?
Probably pretty great.

>Am I a bad dude for taking creepshots of my best mate's girlfriend's ass?
Yes

>What do. I do if my best mate catches me creeping on his bitch?
Say that she's hot as hell, I guess?

No

It's Edsger Dijkstra

Where is my other brown sock? The woolen one.

Det er betalt / lonnet.

Did you look under the bed?

What's your thesis?

>>PhD
>>computer science

wait how you be a computer doctor?!

Creating a software framework for dynamic and efficient sharing of IO resources in a PCIe cluster.

When you're ready, Intel should be willing to scoop you up for their Rack Scale architecture.

>Intel should be willing to scoop you up for their Rack Scale architecture.
That's likely, although the work I do is in collaboration with a Norwegian company which I guess partially owns the IP rights to my work though.

ONE OF US

That's cool -- they're already working on a lot of their own implementation(s). They'll want you for your experience over anything else.

Have you seen their release of swan over the last month or so? github.com/intelsdi-x/swan

Definitely some interesting work going on there.

I laff u

Fuck you

Thanks, that's interesting.

Yeah, when I went to GTC a couple of weeks ago, a bunch of people (even from nvidia) were interested in my work. I have one year left, so lets hope I make something even more cool by then. :)

Salam alaykum brother!

My question is, why are you not a muslim yet?

You have studied much, but you haven't studied the teachings of Muhammad PBUH?

Islam is the only true religion brother!

Good luck OP! Maybe we'll run into each other without ever realizing it. :)

Thanks :)

you didnt just say that. You know what the pagafantas are?

favorite programming language?

Depends on the problem at hand, but Python for high-level stuff and C++ for lower to mid-level stuff. But I mostly do programming in C though.

Consider the following:

You are sent back in time.
You only have one bullet and can kill ONLY one of the following people:
Hitler
Stalin
Mao
Your grandfather
Which one do you pick and why?

FUCK HER

plox answer this

Mao, because millions of people are suffering because of him even today.

id choose your grandaddy

Interesting answer thanks

Last bump before I leave

Die young but be famous forever

Hvordan går det?

I don't give a shit! Fuck you!

Det går bra. Hva med deg?

Will AI liberate or enslave the working class?

Its like a Kit Kat, neat.

Do you ski or snowboard?

It definitively has the potential to liberate the working class, the problem is fanatics like Peter Thiel who would rather want people to starve than realise that we seriously need to prepare for the AI revolution and seriously consider social restructuring and some form of wealth redistribution.

What's it like wasting a shit ton of money on a PhD like when computer science degrees are almost irreverent in the job market.

Almost no one cares about anything higher than a BA and experience.

Bare bra buddy

I ski. I think it's 50-50 with skiing or snowboarding here, but skiing comes in two variants though: Telemark and slalom.

Det er bra å hore.

A PhD in Norway is a paid position, so I'm not paying any money for it. Also, what you said isn't true. Since higher education is free, most programming jobs in Norway require at least a master's degree.

See I'm aiming for an international career, so in order to prove my worth, I pretty much need a PhD.

That is shit. So you have to study for 6 years to get a programming job? Dear lord, what a waste of time. After 6 years of hard work in the USA your career is already made and you are making bank in IT.

A master's degree is 5 years in most of Europe, Norway included. But yes, that's the easy route. You could also drop out after a bachelor's degree and then work your way upwards to junior, but it's easier to just do two more years and go straight out in a developer position.

Cool, I ski too. Telemark looks interesting, but lifting your heel off of the ski would take some getting used to. I feel like I'd fuck up my ankle thinking my boot is constantly coming out of the binding.

In other words, socialism.
Fuck you, OP. socialism has never worked before and it will never work. It's a failure, every time, all the time, no exceptions. Always has, always is, always will be. You're a stupid POS just for suggesting it.
/thread
OP is a faggit.

How big is your dick

But then again, you could do like me. I started working first part-time and then later full-time WHILE I was doing my master's, so by the time I was done, I already had almost two years of experience.

Well, you don't so much lift as just relax your knee and allow the ski to slip a little back, the bending and lifting comes naturally then. You can also do regular slalom style if you have newer telemark skiis and boots and bindings, because they're a lot more solid than they used to be. The balance point is slightly different though.

Well, the AI revolution is going to make a lot of people out of jobs, and if you deprive people of their livelihood, they're going to revolt. I'm just saying...

18 cm measured top-side.

Personal experience, I worked my way up from a unrelated art degree. I'm not in software development, but I am a network/systems engineer. The older I get the less I see a degree as necessity. (Once again, at least here in the USA) Not trying to insult you, just hate that college is the only way forward for some people.

I don't understand people like this
It must be a (neo) liberal thing. I started with no degree and an un-paid internship. By time I had my associate degree I was making enough money to buy my first house. Now I'm in a nice house, renting the first one and a nice career. I have 5 years of experience as of now and I'm already quite a bit up the latter. Hell, even the hacking schools will fast-track you here, so long as you work hard and prove yourself.

Ar du bög?

latter

Well, first of all the situation is completely different in Norway than in the US. Since education is free here, employers see no reason to not require higher degrees. In sorts, it is kind of an inflation of the worth of education.

The other thing is, international competition is a real thing. I seriously attempted to apply for a bunch of interesting jobs in the US after my master's degree, and I simply stood no chance at all against daddy's boys from MIT or Standford or whatever Ivy League college, not to mention the literal thousands of Indians and Chinese people who are also competing for the same jobs. At least with a PhD, my work will already be published and I stand a better chance.

Er ikke OP alltid en bög?

antrapafasta PLEB

What's a better degree for someone who wants to be s saftware developer, computer science or software engineering?

If you're not picky about what kind of development you want to do, then probably software engineering.

Fuck you motherfucker

Also, it should be mentioned that I was extremely unhappy with the jobs I had, they were boring and unchallenging. This is the other reason why I went the PhD route, I could do exactly what I wanted.

Sure, I understand that, I just don't agree with it in practice. Like you said, it seems like an inflation of the worth of education as apposed to experience, all at the cost of tax-payer dollars. With a resume of the user-base I support, I don't have any issues finding higher paid positions.

I'm a true free-market purist, but take the time to actually read the Communist manifesto. When the day comes that low end jobs will disappear (not yet, probably not in our life-time) there will be a major requirement for use to re-think how to put these people to use. It may never even be necessary due to new emerging markets with newer tech... but Socialism and Communism (on a state level) is a terrible venture at this moment in time.

That being said, without the free market I would probably be a drugged out faggot because I was just born to a poor family, but try to not have such a small mind.

>(not yet, probably not in our life-time)
I actually contest this. We are already pretty close to having completely self-driving cars and trucks, it will be here in 5 years or less. There are a lot of uneducated workers that will loose their job out of this, imagine how many people drive trucks, deliver packages, taxi drivers, bus drivers etc that will be out of a job then.

Factories and specific assembling industries have already replaced all their workers with robots. Since 2000, it's estimated that 5 million factory jobs has been lost in the US, where 92% of them or something like this, has gone to automation.

There are currently huge efforts into making farming and agriculture more automated and industrialised, within 15-20 years, farms that today require hundreds of employees will require a dozen people to run.

I forstaar u ikje venen mæjn

Yes, but we currently have MANY unfilled jobs in most of the modern world dealing with very basic level data-entry. In most of the fields I have worked in they had problems keeping up with demand of growth. Just because there are currently jobs being removed does NOT mean that the jobs are not being replaced rapidly with other forms of low-skill work.

Once again, personal experience, the low-skilled labor in many of the doctors offices I have worked in are 15% understaffed, and that is at the number requested by management, not bitching of the local staff. Considering the un-employment rate here in the USA, we could hire every person and still have room to move over many of the workers with expendable jobs.

Just like over-population, I believe that these expansion myths will always be around. As technology gets better, new markets emerge that will bear more progress on the market and thus increase quality of life. People were making the same arguments you are making now back in the 1800s. (Karl Marx, the founder of socialism and communism)

Well, the US is kind of special in this regard, since you still have a lot of service jobs that require no skill or low-skill. Valor parking, doormen, bell boys, sign holders, sport teams mascots etc, these are all jobs you almost exclusively see in the US and nowhere else. In Norway, for example, we have almost eliminated cashiers in the big cities with self-operated checkout terminals.

I agree with you that many jobs will simply be replaced with other low-skill work, but I think you are underestimating first of all how fast the AI revolution is going to hit us, and secondly, how wide range this form of automation has.

I mean, we use AI to do the work that doctors manually did before. We can probably get rid of most TSA agents at airports. etc. It's simply going to be massively comprehensive.

I'll have to take your word on that. Maybe Paris is different, but I did notice that most of the low-skilled jobs were all there still, despite being an extremely expensive place to live. We do have the self-checkouts, but we do have a decent un-employment rate and high standards of living. (at least for those who don't waste their money or have children out of wedlock, min. wage is usually plenty of money to live on)

Not going to go into socialism vs. free market, that argument has been beat to death, only stating that now is not the time for socialism because markets still bear comfortable lives with maximum personal freedom/responsibility under a free-market economy.
