I think it’s more a conversation starter. Some people who work might have interest in their job and might get them to open up faster. In Taiwan, it deters people from opening up.

I learned the hard way. The first few times I asked someone in Taiwan I just met, the awkward silence and the ambiguous answers made me stop asking.
Ya, I think American associates their work as their personality. I find this interesting.
I dated a British girl in high school. She microwave broccoli in water. No salt or seasoning. No butter. No nothing.
She took it out, drained the water and told me her dish was done.
That was the last time she made anything for us.
After moving to Taiwan from America, I noticed that asking about someone profession is an American thing. Not once has anyone asked me what I do for work after moving here. Except from Americans.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Every payment option has a feeEnglish
3·19 days agoI worked at a bank and our customers had to pay more money the more checks they brought in. Won’t be surprised if they started charging for that too.
Ohhhh this pisses me off soooooo much. I decided to do family photos and specifically asked for the raws before I went into the shoot. They still gave me a hard time after the shoot to get the raws. They gave me a stripped down .dng without any camera settings. Ohhhh that pisses me off so much.
Pppffffssshhhh… 5k?!?that is hobby level money. I’m over 15k into just my lenses and I do this as a hobby and shoot friends and family for free.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•I could quit AI anytime I want to
1·1 month ago100% agree. The best a lowly peon like me can do is to try and hire junior devs instead of replacing them. Managers like me have to incorporate it into the teams workflow. If I don’t do it, I don’t have a job.

56·1 month agoReal talk. AI isn’t the problem. AI is nothing but a tool. It’s corporate greed that is the problem.
I use AI. It’s a fantastic tool. My QA time is slashed in 1/2. Reports that I have to do weekly is done so quickly, it might as well be instant. What used to take my 6 hours. Instant. . Everything is more efficient.
But it doesn’t replace humans. It just shifts the tasks. Instead of building reports and power points, I’m spending more time training my junior devs. It frees up my time to do other tasks is more important.
I love that smoothness. My computer monitor is 240hz. That is less noticable from 120 to 240. But 60 to 120 is def a big improvement. .
Probably not going to have those 120hz refresh rates with this billboards.
I thought those TV have pretty low refresh rates.
