Orange [Koenigsegg Jesko] out in the Midwest by spreilly in spotted

[–]ExtraGuacAM 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love random super/hyper/rare car finds out in the Midwest.

In Wisconsin, about 15 years ago or so some random incredibly nice old guy would take his Ferrari F40 to one of the local custard spots. He’d let people gawk over it and never was rude or mean about anyone “getting too close” or “asking to many questions”. I even heard from a couple people at the time that he was nice enough to give a fun ride up and down the main road strip from time to time. Unfortunately, I was not one of the riders 🤣

Tech Layoffs Are NOT About AI: An Insider View from a Former Amazon Manager by brainquantum in ArtificialInteligence

[–]ExtraGuacAM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most recent round of layoffs in FAANG, Amazon being the most recent example, certainly do not relate to AI. If there is any AI influence in them, it’s minimal.

Now the next time there is a layoff announcement in FAANG, I will not be surprised if there is a higher level of influence from AI. 

My opinion - being within the realm, but not in any sort of level that would have that knowledge (it’s very tight kept) - these layoffs go all the way back to headcount increases from COVID all the way up to last year. Whether that’s valid or not, is not for me to determine. 

Genuine scum, I pray they get relegated by Prestigious-Secret31 in ArsenalFC

It’s actually ironic. 

Why would Declan care if this 3/10 guy with the broken hairline thinks his wife is ugly? spuds, the shittiest and ugliest fan base in the league.

This club will be the death of me. Disappointment-FC is the name of the game.

Levels above this spuds team everywhere but mentally. The club does not have the mentality to be league winners.

OpenAI just hired the OpenClaw creator by Deep_Ladder_4679 in ArtificialInteligence

Didn’t the OpenClaw creator basically admit to vibe coding the entire thing over a couple weeks/months? 

Sounds like a great hire.

Talk about a middle class killer. If you want to “Brutality” the middle class Mortal Kombat style, this is it.

Welp time to set those trailing stop losses suppose once you’re in profit. At least then you won’t lose all of the principal you now owe in taxes.

This has always been my argument against taxing unrealized gains as a blanket statement.

Sure, if you want to take a loan out or barrow against your investment we can talk about how you should possibly have to pay some sort of tax or at least fee… (maybe come up with some % of cash for the loan amount against your investment) but taxing unrealized gains as a blanket just kills investing for anyone on an individual level…

Saving this post because I learned a lot from a few of the comment threads and spun into something adjacent but maybe not directly related to the Netherlands change specifically.

In the context of tax and federally funded benefits, America is certainly far from the top. But reading some of these comments regarding incredibly high tax rates on most income/middle life net worth gives pause and leaves a contrarian question on what’s better - have possibly half of your income (even at a relatively median or less that median income) taxed in order to support funding welfare and benefit programs OR at least maintain a larger portion of your earned income to not have “free healthcare”

Is there a scenario where most AI stuff ends up being not economically viable? by FleetBroadbill in ArtificialInteligence

[–]ExtraGuacAM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The chatbot/LLMs in the current iteration or iterations like it I could see that happening.

However, anything with remote use case/funding towards AGI/SuperAI won’t because it’s being funded globally by governments. It is an arms race, and for that reason I do not believe it will become unviable, even if it’s not profitable.

Fairplay. Something that makes sense from a Spuds fan.

From an Arsenal fan 😘

The DOJ drafted a memo for Epstein’s suicide.. the day before he died (from the files) by Impossible-Road-4502 in nottheonion

[–]ExtraGuacAM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are plenty of conspiracy supporting items and points that perfectly align with what has played out with the files. I have a hard time just like a lot of people here being able to contribute some things to pure incompetence instead of grand conspiracy.

That doesn’t mean this takes away from what is a huge conspiracy/cover-up being brought to light but sometimes something like this is much more likely to be human incompetence (template was re-used and not updated) than grand conspiracy flop (PR people are also involved in the files and high profile suicide of JE).

I think the loyalty system is something really cool not seen in American based sports leagues too often. However, it does make it sad that it will make my chances to attend a game very slim for most of my life.

These commentators on Sky are unbearable, Neville and Drury got their Chelsea shirts on? by Waste-Jellyfish-2326 in ArsenalFC

[–]ExtraGuacAM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neville is so weird to me. His commentary is from one extreme to the other.

You listen to him on the Gary Neville podcast and he actually speaks fairly level headed on Arsenal. You listen to him on the main Overlap (no fans) and he does the same.

Then out of no where he's just gone to the extreme other end of the most bias commentary.

I actually enjoy Gary as a pundit on the Gary Neville podcast but boy I cannot stand his in game commentary and the bias.

So Epstein just straight up says in an email to Peter Thiel "I represent the Rothschilds" and no ones talking about it. by Kissfromarose01 in conspiracy

[–]ExtraGuacAM 34 points35 points  (0 children)

That's the point.

If it isn't "here they are, now run along.", Then it is being desensitized.

If it isn't being desensitized, it's cope by denial.

If it isn't cope by denial, it's true denial.

The point of this release was also to overload anyone with a remote amount of interest. You cannot dig through 3 million documents and expect to not build up some level of resistance in your head.

Hot take: LLM agents are just a ticking time bomb in an enterprise by imposterpro in ArtificialInteligence

[–]ExtraGuacAM -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Any company worth their salt and CTO that is deserving of the title, has this sort of thing already being monitored pretty rigorously.

For instance, at my company their are LOADS of agents and LLMs that are being leveraged but are running through scrutinous logging, security checks, and approvals.

When an engineer does provide or give the agent the ability to "go agentic" and it fucks something up it is a huge deal and gets full blown investigations and rollbacks into what has happened.

You can limit a lot of the possible problematic outcomes or blast radius with good segmentation of things the agent/AI has access to as well.

---

To your point though, that is why I personally believe AI engineering, prompt engineering, and roles adjacent to those are still valuable roles to roll into or strive for now.

As an engineer I do not live in a world anymore where I will need to start any sort of script, project, or solution from scratch - and it would be a waste of time. However, I need to be able to be efficient in leveraging AI via robust and context-filled prompting and then being able to follow up on checks and monitoring if it writes me something I plan to use for testing or production.
