I mean you can’t go to the store purchase a stethoscope and call yourself a doctor. Similarly, programmers do not require any sort of certifications or are heavily regulated unlike engineers. It’s an interesting argument for sure.

drdOPto politics @lemmy.world•U.S. port, union talks break down again over automation, with two months to go before potential strike93·8 months agoprogress benefits only a select group of already-rich individuals and means loss of jobs and income for everyone else.
This is tough because alternatively, not progressing on automation at the ports benefits a select group of wealthy individuals as well. The ILA’s president, Harold Daggett, brings in nearly $1 million a year ($902,000) in salary, and his son Dennis which is the vice president, salary is $703,000. At the United Auto Workers union, with more than four times as many members, UAW President Shawn Fain received just under $200,000 for his eight months on the job last year. . None of the dock workers get paid close to as much.
I think one of the best solutions for this is to offer some sort of retraining for the workers who will be displaced by automation. As with any technological progress, I am sure new jobs will arise. As the article states, we don’t really have a consensus on whether port automation will actually decrease jobs. I think the benefits of port automation (environment, worker safety, the end consumer, efficiency, etc) with some sort of worker retraining here really outweighs the cons.
A new GPU, I’m expecting the GPU market to be hectic next year.
drdto politics @lemmy.world•US port workers and operators reach deal to end East Coast strike immediately | Tentative deal includes a 62% wage hike over six years2·9 months agoAgain I am talking about automated ports not Amazon sorting facilities, please look into how automated ports work, in fully automated ports there are less workers working directly with machinery than in a standard port. You’ll need to provide sources that automated ports are not safer or more efficient. The transportation and movement occupation has the highest number of fatal injuries in my state, not only can it be fatal but it also takes a toll physically as well, we should be helping these workers and automation can help do that.
drdto politics @lemmy.world•US port workers and operators reach deal to end East Coast strike immediately | Tentative deal includes a 62% wage hike over six years5·9 months agoAutomated ports do not work that way, where employees interact directly with a robot. Instead employees stay at a desk and minimal employees are on the ground. Like I had mentioned, automated ports are safer.
drdto politics @lemmy.world•US port workers and operators reach deal to end East Coast strike immediately | Tentative deal includes a 62% wage hike over six years102·9 months agoYes, I work in supply chain. Being a dock worker is a tough grueling job, wouldn’t we want to automate that as much as possible? Besides cost, automated ports are both safer and more efficient. I think the ideal scenario would be to grant some sort of retraining.

drdOPto Technology@lemmy.world•We need to nationalise Google, Facebook and Amazon. Here’s whyEnglish51·11 months agoI found the idea interesting, just something to think about as these platforms continue to develop.
The user with an AI copyright notice on every one of their posts is one of my favorite “gimmicks”.

The first time I saw this term used was on twitter, from a somewhat funny twitter troll.

Any advice?2·2 years agoI’ve been thinking about it as well, I think if I were to do it I’d probably post and immediately close the app, and disable notifications, to prevent addiction. Go for it, it might be fun who knows.

drdto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have any of you noticed that the YouTube algorithm seems to be recommending more and more videos with very few viewer count?7·2 years agoYes, and I usually click out of curiosity further reinforcing the algorithm.
A few people have had similar thoughts and deeper conversations including a few comments from their CTO can be found over on hackernews.
drdto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Dear Lemmings, what is your personal approach to human diet?4·2 years agoI found out what generally makes me feel good day to day, then I decided to pretty much eat those same foods everyday. Downside is that it’s probably not as varied as the ideal diet, upside is that it’s standardized which makes planning what you’re going to eat easy. I’ve also found that I’m able to make more progress in the gym from a standardized diet.
