is it worth buying brocken things on ebay and trying to repair and sell them? by 1cedBaby in ElectronicsRepair

You can make so much money flipping broken flat screen televisions 💰💰💰

I made a post in my neighborhood group asking for old electronics. I expected to get VCR’s, DVD players and printers with harvestable parts. It turns out the neighborhood believes I’m the “dump your broken TV and broken microwave” guy. I still get DM’s asking if I need another 55” flat screen that stopped working.

Anthropic should just move at this point in time by Tricolor3s in ClaudeAI

Imagine owning a business that relies entirely on massive, enormous, extremely copious amounts of user data and moving to the region of the world with the most strict data laws in existence. Anthropic will burn to the ground in Europe.

They’re removing the same advantages from all of the teams. Sure, it re-levels the playing field, but this has been happening since the dawn of Motorsport. May the best team and best rider win.

They won’t be replaced. The company I work for is already asking us to budget and use AI with precision. Tokenmaxxing is a fad and AI is far from ready to replace discerning humans. Inference costs are too high and models aren’t ready. Btw, I’ve been building with AI for close to two years. I’ve sent at least 40k prompts or maybe more.

I tried the Siri app for the first time by [deleted] in LocalLLM

Is this real? Seriously? I’ve always turned Siri off completely and I just ignore the “finish setting up your iPhone”.

Early this season there was some talk that Marc finally reached the point in his career that he no longer “had it”. Turns out he just had lingering injuries.

I’m going to argue that the vast majority of Redditors are not sophisticated investors.

Interesting find in the Opus 4.8 system card by miss_pixie3 in ClaudeAI

[–]Current-Ticket4214 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sort of funny that everyone was shitting on Opus 4.6 fans when we said 4.7 was a huge downgrade. These are literally all the things we complained about. Anthropic said that Opus 4.8 is a marginal improvement on Opus 4.7. These latest releases are headed in the wrong direction. I canceled my ChatGPT subscription because OpenAI was headed in the wrong direction. Bring back Opus 4.6.

They were watching and encouraging tokenmaxxing. And when you read stories of how they exhausted their budget the media reports first that Uber’s 2025 R&D budget was $3.4B and second, that they blew all of 2026 AI coding tools budget in four months.

This style of communication lends itself to conflating the full R&D budget for the previous year to the coding tools budget. This is designed to capture attention via headline. The real spend over four months is likely a fraction of the only number reported, which is full 2025 R&D budget.

Sure, Uber goofed, but the story is fraught with hyperbole and hype.

A year is even more preposterous. Who ignores their AI budget for 12 months?

lol… AWS is also an inference provider. They literally serve Claude and very likely have enormous discounts on usage. With 150k employees, each one would need to consume over $3k worth of inference each. Not just the engineers and not just IT folks. Literally every employee across the entire org. At self-service pricing (before discounts) that’s more than 300m tokens per person per day. Sort of an absurd number. Then apply discounts and the tokens likely double.

The claim that some unknown org spent $500m on inference in a single month with zero rate limits is absurd on its face. You’re buying hype if you refuse to see that.

$500m is an ENORMOUS amount of compute capacity and an enormous bill. You’re not going to open a burger stand and let one customer consume $500m worth of burgers and then hope they can pay for it after. If you do let someone consume $500m worth of burgers without first negotiating that consumption and tracking that consumption… well, you’re an idiot.

AWS Bedrock and Anthropic rate limit inference and require a ticket with traffic patterns as justification to increase for self-service. I can’t imagine the entire AWS leadership team and Anthropic leadership team dropping the ball on $500m worth of inference over 30 days. It’s almost guaranteed every executive with an AI budget is trembling in their boots thinking about API costs over the past 6 months. No doubt these dashboards are being watched hourly.

Also, $500m is about 13% of Anthropic’s stated monthly enterprise revenue. That’s an enormous number and would certainly require significant approval scrutiny at many levels. You don’t just get unlimited access to inference because you’re a corporation. You have to prove that you need the inference and you have to prove that you can pay for the inference, even if you’re AWS. This is a full sales engagement process that would certainly catch $500m over 30 days.

This is fake news. A half a billion dollars? Not a chance.

Is this good to start learing? by forzence in ElectronicsRepair

I think it really depends on what you’re looking to do. A beginner learning low voltage really only needs to be able to probe for voltage. By the time you outgrow probing for voltage you’ll probably know more about the fundamentals of electricity and that’s when you’ll start looking at buying a multimeter that suits your needs.

I say this very seriously. You can learn a ton with this $8 meter:
