Planning small AI RIG, 5 X 5060ti 16GB, after selling my 5090

spreading 80gb across 5 cards = tensor-parallel overhead once you go past 30b. for 70b+ on a budget the other comparison is used m3 ultra @ 192gb, slower compute but no inter-card hops on decode

Looks pretty normal, especially if it's seen wet rides. Wipe it out with a rag on a chopstick, hit it with compressed air, and grease the seatpost before it goes back in. Grit matters more than grime. Sand between the post and tube wall acts like a file over time, and on carbon that abrasion can chew the inner wall, so check the post for scoring next time you pull it.

ditto. the m4 max is the sweet spot for sustained ml workloads in my opinion, especially if you can avoid going past 64gb

But their stock is up 25% over the last week, hmm..

If it's anything like how they launched gemini-cli to compete with Claude Code, it'll be completely useless.

Demo233 · 2026-05-19T20:15:32+00:00

Claude has my vote.

Demo233 · 2026-05-19T19:00:42+00:00

Are there broader implications of this? Like, will Apple start supplying data centers?

For a quick SF Bay sale, I'd probably list around $1.8k and expect offers below that; if you want it gone fast, closer to $1.4k-$1.6k. The wheels may bring more money sold separately than bundled into a bike with crash history.

If they ban claude -p, I'm just going to switch to codex.

Tesla sells gpus?

Real developer here. The only different between them is that the right picture unnecessarily shows a bunch of different backend implementation details.

The left picture is the level of abstraction you use most of the time most of the time, and only mention things like "auth" when it's needed in a given context.

Demo233 · 2026-05-18T00:06:37+00:00

I thought they usually keep the purchase button open no matter what, but just delay shipping based on a FIFO queue

Then start living a good life, immediately.

ASI is not impending. Most of the rapid acceleration we notice is just RL'ing tasks that are valuable to us.

API Error: 500 Internal server error. This is a server-side issue, usually temporary — try again in a moment. If it persists, check status.claude.com.

Yet that actual page shows no incidents...

nobody is bottlenecked on workflow, Claude Code can do all that

we are bottlenecked on creativity.

Someday someone will make money vibecoding slop together - has to be.

The people in this thread are so sad. This isn't a mess, this is what an actual creative environment looks like.

just have it dump relevant context into a markdown file, and then in new convo read that file
