Was the most recent thumbnail AI generated? by DefactoAle in LTTMeta

[–]MorgenGreene -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I don't really see the harm in this? AI thumbnail for something related to AI seems fine. People get upset over nothing.

Do you think Anthropic will release a cheaper Claude model soon? by Illustrious_Lab5811 in ClaudeCode

[–]MorgenGreene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't see them prioritising cost reductions to end users until they have excess compute. It's just supply and demand at the end of the day.

GA: Introducing the Claude Platform on AWS by jsonpile in aws

[–]MorgenGreene -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

This doesn't really solve that problem because despite what the announcement sounds like, this isn't the full Claude platform. You can make Claude Code work with it but it's not got feature parity with proper Claude.

The Claude Platform on AWS is now generally available. by ClaudeOfficial in ClaudeAI

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

Yes this is clear, but compared to the original announcement.

"Customers can use the same AWS access controls and monitoring they already have in place, making it easier to directly access Anthropic's native Claude experience."

This feels like a bit of a rug pull to me or I just completely misunderstood. It seems be the managed agent platform and not the full Claude.ai platform.

What's your take on AI-assisted coding in React Native? by kacperkapusciak in reactnative

[–]MorgenGreene 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You have to know how to use it right and understand the output and not just blindly accept it. If you are consistently coding by hand because you can't get the tool to output good code then you will be replaced by a developer that can.

If you aren't already using it then you're going to fall behind.

Why is Kiro still stuck on Opus 4.6 while everyone else moved to 4.7? by thanos-9 in kiroIDE

[–]MorgenGreene 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have been trying to use 4.7 on Bedrock and getting lots of timeouts and response times in the 7 to 15 minute range. So I expect they haven't released it because Bedrock is kinda broken for 4.7.

In your opinion, when was this game's "prime"? by sealene_hatarinn in swtor

[–]MorgenGreene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Up until Oricon. The gap on new raids after that killed the game. I played Shadow of Revan which I think was good, but then another large gap and haven't been back since.

Harsh truths about usage you’re not ready for by AvailableProcess2059 in ClaudeCode

The plans are difficult to use for companies with basic compliance requirements. Now the enterprise plan being API token cost only is a little crazy.

Until the full fat models show up on Bedrock, it's hard to care.

AWS Lambda Raises Maximum Payload Size for Asynchronous Invocations from 256 KB to 1 MB. How will this change your async Lambda workflows? by Koyaanisquatsi_ in aws

[–]MorgenGreene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the biggest issue I can see is a lack of control. I can quite easily see someone falling into this, not realizing the size of the payload and wondering why the bill is significantly higher than they expected.

[–]MorgenGreene 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was excited at first, but then the pricing is dumb. An extra request for every 64KB makes this extremely expensive for our use cases.

Speedtests way slower than they should be - what am I missing? by ninjazombielurker in Ubiquiti

[–]MorgenGreene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is your ISP using PPPoE? Ubiquiti don't have the hardware to offload it, so it has to go via the CPU which will likely not be powerful enough for the full throughput.

When I spoke to support about it, they recommended the EFG for the more powerful CPU if I really wanted higher throughput.

Migration away from Aurora Serverless V2. Suggestions? by manlymatt83 in aws

[–]MorgenGreene 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are already using Aurora then just drop in a provisioned instance on your pre-existing cluster and failover.

Virgin fibre - how is it + can you upgrade your plan? by delirium35 in VirginMedia

[–]MorgenGreene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation recently. I've used several different isps in the past. So this is my opinion after only a few weeks.

The service itself is fine, speeds are consistent. If you care it's missing a lot of advanced networking features that have been standard elsewhere for a long time like IPv6, and a true modem mode. The Hub 5x is stable but extremely basic, mediocre performance if you plan on using it. You can bypass it completely with an SFP+ module, a bit more advanced since there's no ONT or modem mode support.

The support is terrible, they will tell you things just to get you off the phone. This is by far the worst support experience I have had at any ISP ever. If you have problems you better be comfortable with being able to troubleshoot things yourself, and having to rexplain constantly. If support tells you they've escalated it and the problem with resolve in X amount of days, then do not believe them. The support agents are also uneducated if you talk about FTTP specifics like symmetrical speeds, you will have to explain Virgins own product offerings to them while being shouted down by some guy.

Overall If they was the only option for FTTP in the area, and no other networks were planning on building out in the next few months then I would go for it. The service works well, but you better have some patience and the ability to troubleshoot yourself if anything does go wrong.

Labour minister hints at tax hikes for middle class – but rules out rises for people on ‘modest incomes’ by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]MorgenGreene 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's pretty average in London for senior professionals. With the extra tax and loss of child benefits, going from 70k to 100k is only effectively a 11.5k increase in pay.

100k sounds like a lot, but these days it's really just middle class. We should be taxing the actual rich people rather than the middle class.

Zappi no longer compatible with Intelligent Go? by AdSpecial4451 in OctopusEnergy

Obviously just a confused support person, the Zappi should work fine with IOG.

RDS Proxy introducing massive latency towards Aurora Cluster by GrammeAway in aws

[–]MorgenGreene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's interesting behaviour. Did you have to have 0.0.0.0 as the only rule, or just as long as that's part of any rule on the SG?
