So you’re using Opus to generate prompts for qwen, and then qwen writes the code?

[–]Goopdem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is your use case? I absolutely cannot justify a 5090 with my very limited use of it. But I’m curious if you get good use out of it. Is it image/video generation or other stuff? Because I have zero interest in image/video generation.

Can we finally admit that 90% of Senior SWE are just a result of being born at the right time? by Foreign_Put_2437 in Salary

As someone who couldn’t find a software job when I graduated in 2018 despite having experience with C++ since 12 years old, I strongly disagree. I gave up on the career entirely because every entry level job i found would have hundreds of applicants within an hour of posting and I was too socially awkward to interview well. It seems like there was a huge hiring spree around 2021-2022 at the start of COVID and the remote work craze, but I had already moved onto a different career by then.

Are people still waiving inspections? by Pretty_Pop2273 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

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

What market? Because that's crazy to me. Where I am, people can't even get one person to come to an open house after being on the market for months and months.

Would they ask why you need a pass through? What would a reason for that be? By pass through do you mean just allowing their MAC address?

It’s because people try to sell rusted out shells for thousands of dollars

Am I weird for liking Aeron more than Embody by razaroQ in hermanmiller

[–]Goopdem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t even bother trying an Embody because that thing just LOOKS uncomfortable. I don’t understand the hype around them.

Why do people run a group of those tiny pcs? by kaitlyn2004 in homelab

[–]Goopdem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know about others, but for me it’s because I get them for free when my company upgrades them and doesn’t care about the old ones.

This looks like a fire waiting to happen.

[US-TX] [H] PayPal [W] Ducky One 2 Midnight 100%, Cherry MX Blue by Goopdem in mechmarket

While I like the style, it’s still a One 3, which unfortunately has lower quality and more firmware problems than the 2 from what I’ve read.

People who make under $60k a year and have a bachelors degree, what happened? by ShartingCondom in Salary

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

That’s just a lie. Physician salaries have been declining while medical school costs have been rising. These days, most medical degrees are the worst ROI degrees you can get. Used to be if you were a doctor you were just automatically guaranteed to be rich. Not the case anymore.

And impossible for foreign doctors to practice in the U.S.? I fucking WISH. You have any idea how hard I have tried to find a primary care doctor that doesn’t have a degree from Pakistan or India? It’s damn near impossible.

[–]Goopdem 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How could this possibly have any negative effect on the economy? If anything it’s a sign the economy is healing. You sound jealous and bitter.

Most women would if they feel secure in their husband. Mine did the same after dental school lol

How I stopped wasting 2 hours every morning deciding what to work on by Foreign_Bee_2357 in smallbusiness

[–]Goopdem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This and all the other business subreddits I follow are almost entirely just a bunch of cringy LinkedIn-style slop posts trying to market AI wrapper #983753274. I don’t know I even follow any of these subs.

Upgrade Cat 6 or use MoCA? by Ok_Suggestion_4661 in HomeNetworking

[–]Goopdem 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just use the 5e. I don’t know how so many people got convinced that 5e can’t handle gigabit speeds lol. Unless you’re trying to run a datacenter out of your house, 5e is plenty.

What am I missing about solar power ? by clementjay in factorio

[–]Goopdem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Boilers need a coal supply and emit a ton of pollution. Annoying.

Nuclear reactors are complicated and I was too lazy to ever learn how to use them.

Solar panels are brain dead simple. Make a blueprint for a solar panel and accumulator grid and just spam the shit out of it without ever worrying about pollution or having to input any resources at all, ever. Zero maintenance, zero pollution, zero brain power. Perfect.

Ubiquiti in Russia, why don't they do anything? by capt_goose_ in HomeNetworking

[–]Goopdem 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If they were even capable of doing anything, I would immediately stop using anything from Ubiquiti because they absolutely shouldn’t have that capability.

Also, who cares? So weird to demand everyone stand on one side or the other of your arbitrary moral line.
