  • "It's my circlejerk - so it's a fact!"

  • So much comments on just the title .... Could come from anthropic directly.

    There is literally zero basis on the made claim in the article, just arbitrage calculations over supposed token consumptions under non stable test sets.

    I have no idea if/how much these stupid fuckers spend to get more customers - and this "article" wasted a lot of time showing that they don't know either.

    (Stupid is cut out because I don't think they they're stupid. Which makes it way worse in my book)

  • Wait so I should resubscribe instead of staying away if I don't want to support them?

    I'm utterly conflicted now. Not even kidding - purely self hosted is not suitable (even a cheap setup only pays back after 36 months at best - and with development I'm not willing to invest it at this point I'm tine).

    "Based on API prices" oh yeah. Sure they'll sell their API at cost, sure, good calculation basis.

    Shit.

  • I'm experimenting a lot with goose, recently return on by the AI arm is the Linux foundation. It's not yet mature enough to recommend it as a daily driver for non fanatics though for agentic stuff.

    Trying it as a daily driver by now :D

    It's less about the tool though in my opinion but about the process. If you want to be a programmer then you need something integrated into your dev environment in my opinion.

    My focus is seeing how far I come with focussing in being a software architect who only has really weird junior devs who read a lot of books but lack any understanding.

    Which is ... quite close to real life ;)

    I'm splitting by now my projects: agentic ones and "my" dev ones, treating trm differently helped me tremendously: different focus and I need a different skillset.

  • First off:

    Good luck! You'll get through this ❤️

    I'm not claiming I went through a situation like your sentence implies in that extreme, my advice comes from a bit less drastic situation - and I'll assume no safety net.

    The hard truth: you are broke. Not in the future, right now. Treat your money like it. If you can't pay rent in a few months time you can't now. Same for all other invoices.

    Reason: shit has hit the fan already. Now you're standing there and wondering which the biggest piece will be to hit you.

    If you start with that today then you'll stretch the time out overall.

    Your job is threfold: priority one: reduce spending to near zero. Short term survival beats anything. Including and especially credit score and the likes. The details depend on your situation, laws and standards.

    The second is even harder: What can you do to increase cash income? This is a shitty situation and your reaction most likely is "well, yes. Of course dumb fuck what do you think I'm doing??".

    I can fully emphasize if it is. That said: I'm not only talking about applications. Use your social circle to ask for help, both money and job. Reach out to former colleagues or school friends. Use everything and everyone you have in your environment.

    The last part is the easiest but very annoying: read your local laws and statutes. What social security structures exist? What are eviction regulations? What about late payment terms? Re education sponsorship? And so on. Most countries have at least something but it's often hidden in highly formal bullshit. Get your shovel and dig through legalese. And if you can't do that: the second point automatically applies here as well.

  • Bambu was the one company I oped to be wrong about when first seeing them. But their communication smelled "we are your future" from the beginning. :(

  • What a shit "but both sides" article.

    "Bambu said they didn't do something wrong so we must take that into consideration".

    It's one of the most transparent and plump "I want to hold my users hostage" in a long time.

  • I fundamentally disagree on your conclusion.

    Codeberg is a non profit under German law. There won't be openai "non profit but not really" bullshit.

    And your point about CI Integration ins good example: There is no "free" CI. GitHub lets you pay with their vendor lock-in and your data.

    If that's okay with you, that's okay with me - but as a programming community as a whole ,especially FOSS side, this needs to go away.

    The best case for me is that GitHub dies and its death is a wake-up call to decouple collaboration layers in a way that keeps them modular enough to not again rub into "too big or integrated to fail".

    And yes, I'm aware that this is 2/3 day dreaming. But that's my best case association anyway :D

  • Orwell is a child of his time though. If I recall correctly he went to Spain to report on the conflict (civil war) and was so shocked(?) that he volunteered to fight against the literal Nazis. Then getting told "put down your weapons" is the context I read into this quote.

    Or to take your example: it's about someone telling you to not fight back instead of helping safe others.

    While I agree with you in times of peace and between individuals it's more nuanced: when physically under attack your options shrink.

    This is the part where this quote holds true in my opinion: When you're confronted with a situation that already turned violent. Or, worse for me personally, I'd there is no shared common value system.

    How do you mediate with someone who not only is willing to kill but has the conviction that it's the only right thing to do?

    And I don't mean that as a rhetorical question, I have no idea ... And my own moral compass is fucked up by now and spinning in circles.

  • Oh common it's not like there's an org for mountains of code. A codeberg.org basically.

    Or a method to forge jo own code repos just like that, just for dev. A ... forgejo.dev ... No that would be crazy. Let's rather stick with Microsoft - after all, nothing they ever touched was bad for their user base, ever.

  • Can't tell you about the first half of your question as I'm not familiar with the American doctrine.

    And before someone jumps into discussions: I'm relying knowledge, not conviction - if you have more insights, please add them. But if you try to convince me that it's wrong or try to point out inherent inconsistencies: you'll add nothing for me - preaching to the choir and so on ...

    the second part is actually straight forward: Jews in the Bible didn't believe in JC either - by definition.

    The reason why the Jewish faith has a special role for Christians lies in the old testament, not the new one: they are "God's chosen people" and everything resolves around then bring pampered by God, both in the positive sense as the favorite but also in the negative sense as the one's who receive the stick more.

    Speculation part: This unique position is very present to all Christians, but especially the more fundamental ones. Combine this with a history of mistreatment, where jews were blamed for everything that went wrong in your neighborhood and you have a good mix of the enduring, suffering chosen ones.

    Note: Israel as state is then a completely different discussion.

  • In terms of automation n8n is the closest you'll ever get that is at least partially FOSS.

    But for client based I'm having good experience with Goose https://github.com/aaif-goose/goose

    The project recently moved to the AI arm of the Linux foundation.

    It's a mix of terminal helper and agent orchestrator. I'm not yet too deep but the mix of recipes and skills seems to work pretty well!

  • That's sich a Mac answer it's unbelievable.

    Describing "A project aimed to be agnostic of it's environment" as a design mistake and not a inherent flaw of the OS is... Just wow.

    Remember in this thread it's about the pro and con of Macos as interference hardware. This is a major flaw which comes baked into the hardware. I tested it and find it an unacceptable limitation. It's important for others to know.

    To state "containerization is the issue" though... Just wow.

  • Depends what you want to do... For example I didn't get python whisper in a container to run on Mac in any way that can be called "performance" and I don't want my dev workflow to optimize for an OS I despise :D

  • All kids including my own match exactly what was said: they're Absolutely shitty judges (all on the younger end of your range and even below though! That might influence this quite a bit but "this taste bad, I don't like it" because of a bad night is not shocking, about a food favorite.

    It's about consistency that such a show would need and that's tough with kids to get - it's more gambling if you have no idea what your benchmark will be.

    Alternatively you could lean fully into it and the contestants could have a brief interview with each judge before each round.

    Now that I think about I like your idea better and better, just needs a few details to lean into the chaos kids would bring!

    Talk about a 180 ... And I'm supposed to be the "stable adult".

  • For the price of the Asus rog I'd get 12 years of a pro subscription to any of the big companies.

    And I don't have that kind of cash at hand anyway....

  • The problem is that this is one of the few use cases where I can afford the (dangerous and unreliable) cloud service but I'm far away from being able to do so self hosted.

    I'm actually using LLMs quote a lot to counter some of my brains more weird bugs working-as-intended features. But this is way beyond what I could locally do.

    For anyone in a similar shoe: you can mix local and remote quite well though, using local for everything that works out and remote for everything else. I.e speech to text and email analysis is done on my local server while bigger sets are done on the CLI with remote providers.
