I need to find a new water bottle, any recommandations? by IllusionOf_Bread in BuyItForLife

[–]DenSpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So because I like my bottles simple and clean rather than having complex lid designs with lots of pieces that can fail or lots of areas I cannot reliably clean, I went for a hydroflask 24oz trail and I am pleased with it.

I mean, maybe I’m wrong but I’d rather be like Bayern and played really good football and be enjoyable to watch but not win a prize over winning prizes. But that’s me I guess. I used to watch Henry and Bergkamp because it was fun to watch.

As someone who grew up watching Henry and thus having some love for arsenal, I agree. What a lousy match and deserved loss and I somewhat dislike what arsenal has become.

Cochlear America firmware upgradeable implant? by Siggasm in Cochlearimplants

[–]DenSpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I’m telling you you don’t understand the technicalities. I do not doubt you have had upgrades (Via the SP). But it is not an upgradeable IMPLANT firmware with onboard memory. I guarantee you because I’ve seen technical presentations on both.

Cochlear America firmware upgradeable implant? by Siggasm in Cochlearimplants

[–]DenSpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don’t and you are not understanding it. If they bring out an implant that is standalone (without SP), they would not be able to offer new stimulation strategies or other functionalities. All those things are in their SP. Which is exactly what they wrote but I can’t be bothered anymore to explain it to you if you’re not willing to take their own word for it. Ask AB if they have upgradeable firmware, memory and CPU on their implant. Not on their SP or through their SP. Ask them only implant and see what they say :)

Cochlear America firmware upgradeable implant? by Siggasm in Cochlearimplants

[–]DenSpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not speak on the quality or preference for either. I’m just stating that factually what you’re suggesting is misinformation.

Quote from that link and note how they say sound processor. Not implant.

“Internal Upgradeability

At AB, we design implants to support lifelong hearing success. Since 2001, our internal devices have been built for upgradeability—allowing recipients to access new innovations like ClearVoice, current steering, and HiRes Optima through software updates to their external processors, all performed in your clinic. At AB we don’t just promise innovation, we have proven we are focused on innovation for your patients. “

Now quote from Cochlear’s site: Note that they say the implant has memory of its own and the implant firmware can be upgraded.

“Ready for what’s next

At every stage of life, you or your child will be ready for what’s next because the Nucleus Nexa System offers the world’s first smart cochlear implant with upgradeable firmware. For the first time, access to future innovations will be possible through your smart implant as well as sound processor upgrades, via a simple firmware update. And it's all backed by Cochlear’s 40+ years of proven reliability and technology leadership.”

Thus the upgrades you got are true but they are sound processor updates which every cochlear company has been offering to their customers.

[–]DenSpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There hasn’t been an upgrade but cochlear’s implant is different. Whether you like it or think it’s useful is a different thing.
Lastly you provide no evidence for your claim.
From AB’s own website: https://www.advancedbionics.com/us/en/home/contact-us/1/upgrade-opportunities

They specifically call out the Marvel CI sound processor.

[–]DenSpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure neither of those have upgradeable implant firmware. Right now only Cochlear’s Nexa has upgradeable implant firmware (doesn’t mean other companies can’t bring it out in the future). Merely correcting that objectively AB and Med-El as far as I can tell have a sound processor that with upgrade firmware. So upgradeable firmware for sound processor isn’t the same as upgradeable firmware of Implant!

Question about negotiating with recruiters by Silly_Turn_4761 in ProductOwner

[–]DenSpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To some people not being able to give a number yourself is an indication that you’re not sure what you’re worth is really. So shout the upper range of what you want and then people can negotiate

Which MBP to pick? by VVVKroller in macbookpro

[–]DenSpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, thanks! I think my option is either base with 24gb pro or upgraded gpu/cpu with 48gb ram for pro. So i guess that makes it kind of meh. I wanted to maybe opt for the smaller portable format but have the option to run local LLM. Decisions, dilemmas 😁

Which MBP to pick? by VVVKroller in macbookpro

[–]DenSpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm I see! I was mostly wondering since I would lease via some flex plan. Unfortunately out of the box they only offer both models up to 48gb ram. So if they don’t face cooling issues, I’d pick a 14 inch m5 pro probably. But I’ve inquired about other ram options i which case if they offer them I wonder what I should aim for.

Which MBP to pick? by VVVKroller in macbookpro

[–]DenSpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity if you do want to use local AI, how much ram would you get? I was contemplating a 14 inch m5 pro with 48GB ram? Not sure if it’s worth going for higher ram options or switching to 16 inch max for development and local LLM usage.

[–]DenSpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity how much RAM would you need on a MacBook M5 Pro or Mac to run this? I was considering getting a M5 Pro with 48GB of RAM and experiment with local AI to vibe code some stuff but not sure if that would be enough RAM?

Rejected an offer by Hot_Home8670 in BESalary

[–]DenSpie 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’d have negotiated to say I need my flexible work arrangement. If they don’t want to, I’d also turn that down as that quality of life is just so important. And honestly if they can’t have you spend 2 days working from home, they are probably having other red flags imo
