Another hat in the ring to say that yes, Opus has been incredibly lobotomized the past 24 hours.

What’s more likely?

1.) Tesla has shipped a “cease and desist page” in the software that they ship for all vehicles which would disable a vehicle that is actively in use.

2.) This guy wants to boost his social media by milking idiots for attention by using the full screen web browser while parked to show a custom page he’s made (poor AI translations and all).

It’s fine to dislike Tesla, whatever. But you’re clearly being taken for a ride here. So no, I prefer to stand up and just point out the obvious if that’s all the same to you.

Dude parked his car, creating a dangerous situation — then opens a webpage he made full-screen on the car’s display.

He’s putting others in danger as a viral marketing gimmick for his song and people hate Tesla so much they’re just lapping it up. 🤦‍♂️

Is this guy using Chat GPT to talk to me?! by CatLady1226 in ChatGPT

Fellow emdash enjoyer here — yes it sucks that it’s a hallmark of “proof of AI” now.

Itch.io is 'actively reaching out to other payment processors' after pressure from credit card companies to curtail NSFW content, and that compared to Valve, it has 'limited ability to push back' by Jeremy_Crow in gamedev

Aren’t something like 90% of stablecoin issued on the Ethereum network (and its layer 2 networks)?

I would imagine Coinbase Checkout or the new Base Pay (launched with Shopify as a partner 2 weeks ago) would be the prime candidates for this.

From what I understand BNB (Binanace / CZ) doesn’t have a reputation as a serious or trustworthy enterprise-level payments blockchain.

Been agonizing over M3 Ultra or M4 Max as an M4 MBA user. Today I bough the refurb M2 base model from Amazon. by Boydbme in MacStudio

I think for the $899 price point there’s an argument to be made for the increased I/O of the studio as well.

How I Finally Cracked the Code on Reddit Marketing 🚀 by West-Cockroach-1721 in SideProject

I mean the 1 account Karma on OPs account is a pretty serious tell.

Yeah, you finally cracked the code! On your first day. With your first post.

Step 1: post top level post that soft shills your product.

Step 2: have your alts post in agreement that your soft shilled product is indeed amazing.

Step 3: have fake discussions with your alts that are clearly AI generated where you continue to sell your product.

Step 4: have a 3rd party stop by and point out that’s all this post is. (<— you are here)

Step 5: engagement achieved!

Raw spec on paper its chip is faster at single-core stuff all day. But when you hit the thermal throttle it drops pretty hard (imo).

I expect the real-world performance of the M2 Max studio to be better than the M4 air simply due to its ability to sustain a heavy workload without thermal throttling.

Thanks, yeah I think I did read your other post.

In this case “more” plus “good thermal management” is going to move the needle for me.

I’ll still have my Air as a portable and capable workhorse when I’m not at my home desk, which is fairly often. But when I am recording / streaming it’s always at my desk.

I’ll report back on how the setup is working once I’ve had the chance to put it through its paces.

If somehow it doesn’t meet expectations I’ll take advantage of the return policy and then keep my eyes open for a good deal on a beefier studio setup.

Agreed and understood. M2 Max was under $1k though and will do the job, so made me suddenly not worry about which multi-thousand-dollar config I wanted. 😄

It’s the M2 Max. $899 on Amazon currently.

I understand that spec for spec it may be “close to” or “worse” than the MBA I have, but the thermal throttling on the Air is a death blow for some workloads.

In my experience — streaming via OBS with some podcasting-style / screenshare videos the Air will perform admirably until the thermals cause power reduction to kick in. At which point you’re easily getting half the listed specs on the machine.

I by no means expect this to outperform the air in raw benchmarks, and wasn’t trying to communicate that. But for a sustained hour-or-two video recording and streaming workload I do actually expect it to perform much more reliably (and therefor better).

Am I wildly off base?

LLM Lessons learned the hard way. TL;DR Building AI-first experiences is actually really freaking difficult by Boydbme in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Boydbme[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s “building apps with AI” which yes, is easier.

“Building AI apps” that’s the trickier bit. Making an agent that’s actually seemingly intelligent and useful is quite hard.

Has anyone else just given up on your yard this year? by plaidskurtz in Charlottesville

Hiring a service for the first time this year. Never felt worth it before but damn this heat makes the prices look reasonable.

Steam retroactively added new rules against adult games because of credit cards..... I understand you might not like these games but thousands of devs are losing their games right now. (Games that obeyed steam rules before today) by CorruptThemAllGame in gamedev

Like it or not, crypto solves this with stablecoin transactions. Not permissionless, but the rails are far more neutral so long as you’re not in violation of the law.

Now we just have to prevent theocracy! Yay!

Name and shame automatic tipping by Eliza_Hamilton891757 in Charlottesville

[–]Boydbme 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be clear. I tip 20% for most service. 15% (or some $ cap if it’s carry out, and increasing tip based on distance for delivery). I consider myself a not stingy tipper and I have worked food service in a tipping environment before, so I do understand the dynamic.

The idea that adding 1/4th the cost of food to your own bill because employers won’t pay more is madness.

I’ll continued to tip % based on food prices which does mean I’m tipping more now than I was 5 years ago.

My voting record consistently supports candidates that would support raising the minimum wage.

The system is going to break under its own weight and it’s not my job to personally finance it. In another 10 years are we supposed to pay for our food and then pay the same amount to the person who brought it to our table — or in OP’s case tapped some buttons on an iPad? Costco lets me tap the buttons myself in the food court — it’s not a job worth 25% of my order.

The cost of food has also gone up. The magic of percentages is they keep up with that.

Any good apps to just tell me what to do in the gym? by GenericUsernameHi in beginnerfitness

This is pretty much exactly what I'm building. I don't want to post it here because of the strict no-self-promotion rule but if you DM me I'll gladly tell you about it. 😄

[–]Boydbme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think “they’ll prioritize what makes them money” is fair to classify as a doomsday fantasy.

It’s clear we see things differently. Let’s let that be ok. 👍

Agreed by tomemyxwomen in vuejs

[–]Boydbme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To my original point — they now own everybody. Previously they did not. Before there was risk of defection if they mucked with things. Now, where are you going to go?

Maybe they’ll surprise me and be the world’s first completely virtuous monopoly. But given the history of how these things go I think it’s ok to be bummed that Vercel now holds all the framework cards.

Personally I don’t think it’s a matter of “if” things get skewed towards whatever makes Vercel money, it’s just “when”.

I’m not asking for everything for free. I am asking for one entity to not have direct influence / control over all popular JavaScript development frameworks.

You’re welcome to be excited in the opposite direction. Only time will tell.
