If there’s anything in the AI space I would expect to forment a crash, it’s the TPU/trainium bullshit being pushed by UHNW forces. Nobody wants to even show up for ROCM, let alone a fully NDA’d solution.

> Software developers wax poetic about the value of 'handcrafted human-made software' They really don't; devs are the highest consumers of AI by far. Designers, on the other hand, have already been obsoleted and exist basi

…goomba? Wtf are you even talking about?

No, you’re combining two different concepts. Shrinkflation is the price remaining constant when the quantity decreases. Enshittification is when the quality of service decreases while prices remain constant or rise.

Literally none of these things are defensible positions, so nobody will take you seriously.

Prove it? I’m sure many lifespans were lost to stress

It sucks to work with people like you, honestly. Prima-Donna types that overindex on their own personal paranoias instead of trying to succeed, grow, and excel along with the people around them. Quite literally not a team player.

Then pay will go up again for those mid-level developers who still remain, and companies will again overhire and overtrain like we saw during COVID years. “We won’t have any seniors in ten years!!1!” is a handwringy problem that self solves

Your worldview sucks. Essentially claiming that in order to receive information, you must also receive garbage useless information to brainwash you.

Not enough business, not highly paid enough. No true market for such a service.

It must be wild to actually go through life believing the things written in this post and also thinking you have a rational worldview.

You’re absolutely right! Christ is returning soon! Would you like me to cite some additional Bible verses that support your prophecy?

This won’t be the metric measured for success. It will be something more tractable like tickets completed.

This sounds a bit tinfoily but given HSBCs history not impossible; can you show any additional sources to follow?

Yes, so reform the H1B program entirely, since it has been abused by the elites.

Yes, but this doesn’t answer why I only have to do this on Mac and not windows/linux, where I have literally never run into an issue as a result of not doing it.

Usenet must be a generational thing, because it was not widely available or used when I was in university. We were all concerned with if we were allowed to torrent content and how strict they were with enforcement. I recall friends on some

> Hillary Clinton was to the left of Bernie Sanders in 2016 No, this is so factually untrue as to be offensive. Hillary is a party stooge through and through, it’s why she was essentially installed as the 2016 dem candidate, in spite of

No, 8GB is still the bottom of the market, and the ram shortage is past its worst days already.

How old must an account be before expressing a consistent opinion in order for you to take those opinions in good faith?

Lots of cope here about how the inferior tool is actually better.

Cool article. Take out the dumb proselytizing about AI use, it’s totally out of place.

> Try running yourself a local model on a sufficiently beefy laptop I don't understand why you think the solution to using a well tuned and intelligent model is to use one that is a dumbass

I think this perspective is false. You have no way of knowing how many more opportunities and success you would cost yourself by being not nice.

NiMH batteries suck too

The CPU is an 11700k it’s not the beefiest. Maybe the high end AMD chips make this a more viable choice

The encoding speed with my CPU was less than real time. This was unacceptable performance to me. Maybe my CPU settings weren't right?

Yes, I wrote a python script that uses FFMPEG and detects the bitrate of the file and determines approximately what CQ to use. If the original file has a low bitrate, by reencoding it with a high CQ you can actually increase the file size (

I use “slow” GPU encoding. I optimized my pipeline for minimal quality loss, not maximum file size savings. I wouldn’t recommend using consumer grade CPUs to reencode because to get a reasonable speed you’ll need to use “fast” presets which
