  • I’m gonna go ahead and agree with the other comments.

    I’m gonna ignore any future projections on where both fields are headed, but basically if you would apply for them rn, software development leaves the nature of your future job out in the open and basically opens you up with a huge number of opportunities.

    The AI one sounds cool too, but as someone who works in a company focused on research in CS-related fields, I can tell you the skillset you are required to have in order to implement AIs in any way is vastly different from software development. You lean even more into math, things stay more theoretical and academic a lot of the time and AI also forces you to think more unconventional and counter-intuitively. Now this is not in itself a bad thing, but it does narrow you down to that very specific field and it does not sound like you wanna dig yourself down another rabbit hole of a profession.

    Only do AI if you are really keen to do it and you are happy even if you might be stuck in that specific field later on.

    TL;DR go software development. AI doesn’t sound like a fit for you from what I could gather.

    P.s. you can always fuck with AIs in your free time if you want. That’s more fun anyway.




  • Have been living together with my brother with only one wall in between that has nothing in between and let me tell you: two drywalls with air in between resonates just right on a mechanical keyboard at 2am. Now obviously floors have quite different standards even just when it comes to the load they have to carry, but that said, there’s things that make it better and worse. Carpets can be good, dampening in between is good, putting little silicon plates in between stuff that connects to the floor is also good.

    And then ofc if they decided to start dropping pianos on the daily, that might make a difference.

    Either way, talking to them is probably the best option. There’s not really much you can do about noise from the floor above you.


  • Bathing salts, a chair cushion, a calendar, a cooking book, slippers and some chocolate.

    It all sounds random but what makes them good presents is that I have reason to believe my family actually wants those things.

    That said, I think next time I’ll be giving less thought into it because apparently half my family would like to stop with the presents cause they feel like they don’t need more shit and also don’t like being obligated to buy stuff for other people. Fair enough, but if it’s small things I still like gifting stuff.
