The threads on that /r/sysadmin post sound exactly like every sysadmin I've ever worked with in my career.

I panic bought a Macbook Pro M5 Max with 128 GB ram. I yolo'ed because I don't think ram prices get better in 18 months so this might be the last time we see "cheap" memory, even though the laptop cost me $5000.

This is an extinction event for the low-cost cell phone companies. How are they going to survive if they can't sell their $100 phones profitably for 2 years? I think many of the low-end companies will simply sell their allocations of R

I also have 30+ years of experience. If you are "match or beat Claude at the tasks" you give it, you're using it wrong. You sound like some of my coworkers that are eschewing AI or are minimizing it. The ones such as yourself

You must not be using it right because where I work, a Big Tech company, it's been transformational. Things that would take me a day to code takes minutes. I can't coded since last year. I can see why software engineering as a car

What effect will this have on their IPO? Can someone take the code and make a clone?

The only way AI will be profitable to companies like Anthropic or OpenAI is to make the cost $1000-2000/month or more for coding. Every programmer will be forced to pay for it because it's only a fraction of their salary (in the U

At worse back in 1988 it impacted only PCs. This shortage in 2026 is more consequential across the board and impacts consumer electronics as a whole and the fact it's going to last years means that many low cost manufacturers are going

I've been in tech for ~40 years now and I've never seen anything like this. The downstream repercussions on consumer products that have no access to cheap memory is devastating and is an extinction level event for most low-cost pr

US treasuries are exempt from state tax but you didn't mention them. And Municipal bonds have no taxes but a lower rate.

My read of this answer is "There really is no difference except you pay us 0.25% for 'ease of use'".

2008 wasn't that bad for tech and neither was 2020. 2020 in fact lead to the highest employment craziness in the tech field ever. It's no wonder that the entire industry has indigestion from so many workers hired.

There should be a journal where it only publishes studies that have been replicated. Too much research slop is being generated for journals and we already know we have a severe reproducibility problem in science right now.

> Google and Microsoft both report that 25–30% of their new code is AI-generated. I think it's closer to 100%. I don't know anyone who isn't doing 100% ai-generated code. And we don't even code review it because why

No, that's not how it works at all. They still source all their RAM from Samsung, Hynix, Micron, etc.

No, you're wrong. It won't tip it away from commercial models. Trying to run open weight modesl to do inference is something 99% of people around the world can't do because it's expensive and technically challenging and

I used Qwen 3.5 for image descriptions and I was shocked at how great it was. Open Source models may be very useful now, one year ago they were really bad.

I predicted months ago that $20/month isn't going to fly anymore. I think if it produces code, it will jump to $1000/month at least. The value of the LLM nowadays is much higher than $1000/month and I think we will see t

The price hasn't changed between the M4 and M5. I honestly don't know how they did it. But I had a standing order for a maxed-out M4 (128 GB RAM, 2 TB drive) and the price is the same as the M5 so I cancelled my M4 order and will

No. My OP said that Texas Two step was used all the time. I said J&J tried to use Texas Two Step and it ultimately failed. And yes it did fail mostly because it was not being used in good faith.

I'm not sure what you mean. I think we are saying the same thing. The strategy to use Texas Two Step failed in 2025 and J&J gave up, and now they are going back to the regular way of resolving the litigation.
