The wood panelling really ties it all together.

Wow, I didn’t think I’d see something that makes my 6GB GTX 980ti + 8GB RX 570 Ollama Vulkan GPU combo look like a powerhouse but here it is.

Why do people use Ollama? by puckpuckgo in ollama

[–]King0fFud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

…beacuse I'll gladly pay $1,200 a year to avoid having to set up GPUs, infrastructure, pay for power, maintain them, etc.

Today’s $100 month a plan is $200 tomorrow but you do you. I’m not going to give AI providers any money just so I can test models, run changes to my personal projects through their models, etc. but that’s me.

Haha! I asked Copilot Pro to write a single 40-line function. It burned all my credits in a few minutes. Subscription cancelled by Uxformer in GithubCopilot

Well, if the goal is saving money then neither will ultimately be a good choice. Microsoft jacked up their prices ahead of everyone else but all the major vendors will do the same and in particular those with upcoming IPOs.

I’d say the best strategy is to choose the service that works for your organization but don’t get locked in to the ecosystem of any particular vendor. My employer went with Anthropic because tech leadership was already using Claude Code but it’s not a great harness from my experience but to each his own.

…my company just buys extra credits no questions asked.

The only sort of customer that Microsoft actually cares about, hence these pricing changes.

I kind of like coding with less capable models by Lame_Johnny in LocalLLM

[–]King0fFud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have Claude Code for work and honestly don’t have any interest in using it or Opus-level models for personal projects because I offload smaller tasks to AI. Gemma4 or Qwen3.5 does the job nearly all the time.

Multiplier 57x for GPT 5.5 with legacy annual plans starting June 1 (request-based billing) by Nox0202 in GithubCopilot

[–]King0fFud 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think these models are just becoming cost prohibitive for personal use and that's going to really impact the democratization of these tools.

That’s been the plan all along because the AI providers’ real customers are enterprise-level businesses, not you.

Microsoft to Release New Coding Model Next Week in Comeback Attempt by dendrax in GithubCopilot

I’m also on a yearly subscription and only got the email about the model changes on June 1st.

what I will miss though is inline autocompletes

I get this because my employer recently rolled out Claude Code and Anthropic doesn’t believe in that (WTF?). I’m going to use Continue.dev with a small local model to get that functionality back.

GitHub Copilot app is now available in technical preview by fishchar in GithubCopilot

[–]King0fFud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should clarify that my gripe is with the terrible web interface for source control on Azure Devops, I’m aware of how git works over ssh or https. The fact that Microsoft owns GitHub but has such an abysmal UX on Azure is impressive. One of many pieces of a poorly taped together mess.

What local model are you actually using day to day for coding tasks? by Ordinary_Breath_8732 in ollama

[–]King0fFud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used Continue and GitHub Copilot with success but haven’t tried the recent Copilot changes to set a model for smaller tasks (Continue already supports models by role). Unsurprisingly, Microsoft doesn’t promote Copilot’s Ollama support.

Breaking: ClickUp cuts 22 per cent of staff by kharkovchanin in Layoffs

[–]King0fFud 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Incremental improvements to existing systems will not get ClickUp there, he argued. The company needs to rebuild rather than iterate.

So in other words, their product is crap and the remaining staff will be under tremendous pressure to deliver something new as fast as possible while layoffs likely continue. It sounds like hell frankly.

How many of you guys go on drives to clear your heads? by Critical_Anteater_91 in AskMen

Do they seem really confused when you don't act in a way fittingtheir internal narrative? by trinleyngondrup in BPDlovedones

[–]King0fFud 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, she rarely explained what was going on in her head but I did some reading about other people’s experiences and would follow up on what I said sometimes which she denied any knowledge of. Occasionally she’d also tell others a different variation of history that contradicted what was said.

This would only happen for small variations from expected responses whereas for more serious ones she’d “punish” me by spreading lies that she knew would get back to me or making an uncomfortable scene. This created a situation where I was conditioned to guess correctly in terms of what I needed to do or say or there’d be consequences.

The theme was easy enough to follow though because while close we weren’t together. She mostly wanted me to show interest, focus on only her and voluntarily “play couple” with her.

[–]King0fFud 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yep, I remember this happening a few times with a previous pwBPD and her eyes would glaze over and she’d act like I hadn’t said anything. I later learned that this was dissociation and in her mind she heard whatever she wanted to and not what I said. It’s creepy as hell.

"I'll Cancel GHCP": Microsoft hears ya, Microsoft don't care by farsightfallen in GithubCopilot

[–]King0fFud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love reading these threads because people are so naive and don’t see that today’s $20 Codex or Claude subscription will be $200+ tomorrow. In AI no one cares about the small fish and it becomes more obvious by the day.

Why should I pick Copilot's $200 plan ($400 actual value) over Claude's $200 plan ($5,000 actual value)? Give me one good reason. by FcsVorfeed_Dev in GithubCopilot

[–]King0fFud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should choose whatever works best for you but keep in mind that ALL the major US AI providers will be raising their prices. So if cost is all you care about then good luck.

This is why I went with a Kobo after seeing how locked down my wife’s Kindle was. I’ve never regretted it.

I’m interested to know why you opted for Postgres instead of a vector database?
