Yes but that means that it is lying in people's face. Really just straight-up lying. No fancy words to soften it. Just lies. Lying is bad.

You seem to be mistaking the "rules" of the ZIRP SV nonsense bubble for the rules of reality. Understandably so, but still.

Feels like a category error. It's a slide deck telling people what a product can do (that's a normal thing to release for a company), but the thing it tries to sell you on is building your own business based on their tool. Which m

I don't really like them tbh. They are a lot faster, yes, but at least for my needs, they feel a lot dumber too. It's a shame that the gemma4 that _would_ fit 24GB VRAM is MoE. :(

I've paid ~2k€ in 2023. Since I'm usually sitting next to it, I'm only using it when I want to use it. It can get quite loud and warm. Crypto (to my knowledge at least) moved away from GPU mining. I guess you could maybe rent

The same 24GB VRAM RTX 4090 I bought to play Cyberpunk 2077 with. Works perfectly fine in llama.cpp throwing 70+t/s at me with 128k q8 K/V context when using the IQ4_NL quant + MTP at q4 MTP K/V. Also leaving this here becaus

Opus in my experience is equally unpleasant "character"-wise, but at least it actually gets stuff done more often, so it's at least slightly more earned at that. It's still a neurotic cargo-culting dogmatic idiot, but on

Reminds me of all of those ethics debates back when fully self driving cars were basically already here ca 10 years ago. The ones talking about how hard it would be to chose which person to run over. Additionally, I find it hard to believe

Would you be happier if I wrote "the prompts"? Would that change anything about the fundamental cliche-ness here? Also, no, I'm not clever, but not sure what that has to do with this comment chain.

I'm really just tired of all these "projects" that in the end just turn out to be Claude. There is no need to put this code on GitHub. Everyone with an API key can achieve the same if you hand them the prompt. This is like co

Hacker news is full of people having given up, building torment nexii and coping/rationalizing _incredibly_ hard. So while I agree that privilege is certainly a factor, so is what I've just said. A lot of people here live very cus

While this industry surely is frustrating and full of pitiful fraudsters, I don't think that what you're saying is fair or leading us anywhere. Most of our stuff in this world actually does work, and the reason why it does is that

I mean I am no expert, but to me it sounds like the org you're describing seems to lean away from the "engineering" side of things and into the "org for the sake of org". Which might not be ideal, because "orgi

That does sound like a bad org tho, sorry to say that. Not to disagree of course that time is limited, but in my experience, optimizing it this harshly leads to poor results, because eventually, you just get leapfrogged by reality. Hyper-op

Okay I see thank you. But that sounds more like "evasive" is the problematic attribute and not "long winding". Which does show up at the same time often, true. But not always.

If whoever is hiring is actually good at their job: yes. That is of course assuming that they're looking for some long-term stable team member. A skilled interviewer smells dishonesty. However, and to be fair, whether and how they act

My man, this thread has already achieved the intended outcome (or has just temporally coexisted). There is no need to argue anymore. Enjoy your computers.
