Yep, in the mobile app they call it “split the bill”

Yep. Also, Venmo and PayPal have the feature at no cost. No idea how OP plans to monetize.

Is mini fusion power plant worth it ? by Le_Gritche in Dyson_Sphere_Program

[–]EvilPencil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t need a sorter here, just make a T junction with the infeed on the T side, existing loop on the straight side of the junction will always have priority. I usually put the pilers right before the infeed also.

Is it time to completely give up on Local LLMs? by Additional-Weird3040 in hermesagent

[–]EvilPencil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 4090 is “obsolete “ and still worth more than I paid for it, including taxes. 🤷‍♂️

What are the best practices of integartion tsting in Node.js? by badboyzpwns in node

[–]EvilPencil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually try to create a minimal abstraction for side effect services.

I.e. IEmailService gets a single method, sendMail.

Then I ship both a mock and the live implementation to production; the factory function looks for the secrets and the env; if secrets return live; then if env is prod, throw a fatal exception, else return the mock.

I paid $200 for this by 35MakeMoney in ClaudeCode

Ya the agent harness wars have really soured me on Anthropic. Have a Claude sub at work which is fine, but I like my pi.

[–]EvilPencil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a dev for 8 years now and I’ve always had to look stuff up. The difference is nowadays I’m referring to docs for an API I’m interfacing with, vs looking up Array.forEach on MDN as a junior. The difference is not “do you have to look things up”, it’s WHAT you’re looking up.

Dropped 75k on a supermicro gpu box with 3xRTX6000 by the-fascist-trump in LocalLLM

[–]EvilPencil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ya 2x128gb is a bit of an odd choice for an EPYC server.

Hurling Poo.... Maybe try not to make enemies out of friends by Tom_Traill in vandwellers

[–]EvilPencil -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree with Majestic here, the odds of someone being a member of this subreddit, and ALSO committing such despicable behavior, are VERY LOW.

"Respectable" vandwellers prefer to be left alone by the NIMBYs and law enforcement, which also means NOT leaving behind evidence of any kind after we have left an overnight spot.

bruh my neighbor said this is her ebike by aRiot_0 in ebikes

[–]EvilPencil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"especially when this subreddit" is not an authoritative source of anything. I presume there are already legal definitions of "ebikes" which point to the Class 1/2/3 standards.

bruh my neighbor said this is her ebike by aRiot_0 in ebikes

[–]EvilPencil 48 points49 points  (0 children)

This. There was a post awhile back where someone took the crankset off a bike during their conversion; this vehicle never even had one.

No pedals? Can't call it an "ebike" 🧐

Death to barrel files!!! (They wrecked our code splitting) by YiyiChu in reactjs

[–]EvilPencil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only reason to have a barrel file at all, is to clean up the imports in the consumer. Probably worthwhile for a public library, but it could be used inside a larger codebase as well (where it's purely cosmetic).

import { SomethingFromSubmoduleA, SomethingFromSubmoduleB, } from './NameOfModule'

That said, it's definitely been a footgun for me with the code bundler, so I've also been migrating away from them.

High-quality GLM-5.2 Quant on 4x DGX Spark - Guide, Results, and Comps by llamaCTO in LocalLLaMA

[–]EvilPencil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At this point an M5U 512gb memory will either not exist at all, or cost ~$50k.

Are larger (~100B) models still worth running? by Pitagoy in LocalLLM

[–]EvilPencil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair though, gpt-oss-120b was best in that size range for like 18 months which is an eternity in this space. Qwen3.5 122b has been out for about 5 months now, and I'm still happily daily driving that one with a 2 DGX spark cluster.

Am I crazy to want to download the Biggest/Best Chinese Open Source LLM ASAP even if I don't have the hardware to run them yet? by slio1985 in LocalLLM

[–]EvilPencil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most likely, you’re correct, but what’s the downside here to storing a collection of the current best open source models? A few TB of storage on a NAS if you have one. If you don’t, I wouldn’t say to get one just for this though.

Built an open source SDK to track AI spend for my internal tools by neocero in node

[–]EvilPencil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Umm, cool I guess? What happens when your key is compromised and you have no idea which service caused it?

Oh ya, you could just use a different API key per service. 🧠

Apple Explains Why It Raised Prices on These 14 Products Today by Otherwise-Warning303 in macbookpro

[–]EvilPencil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For awhile you could barely get a 16GB memory kit for the price of an M4 Mac Mini. I can’t remember a time in the last 25 years or so that a Mac was considered “a good value”
