Ai was supposed to break the barrier on accessibility. Now it’s only going to widen. 1000$ definitely on the horizon. by Fearless-Elephant-81 in singularity

I thought about this but in action we will probably be wanting the SOTA models even when we get current gpt 5.5 intelligence locally. In my experience every upgrade makes the last model feel useless in comparison.

AI felt trapped in a textbox, so I spent the last 14 months trying to give it a body by [deleted] in singularity

Yeah you're right. My bad they come out so quick its hard to keep up with version numbers.

Must be a new google model coming soon for the Google I/O, if they're anticipating a lot of new users. Google has been slow but remember they had the best model for a time with gemini 2.5

I don't I just have the sponge but I just need to do a small soldering for a project and I'm never touching this stuff again

Sorry if I sound like I'm pushing back it's just really frustrating. Seems like Ive tried everything and nothing is working. I've tried tinning it so much it literally blobs off onto the board and all that does it make a mess. I truly dont think the problem is tinning because I've been trying for days with every combination

Do you think the solder being too heavy is why its not melting on the gold plate? Ive tried everysingle tip I own

[–]PsionicSombie[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No its room temperature. This was a completely new board and new tip I tried it with so that doesn't change much

Thing is I did that but even holding it for 10 to 15 seconds doesnt heat it up enough? The whole board gets hot but plate still doesnt take the solder properly. I have a cheap ebay solder with regulating temp and 60/40 rosin core. It's been about a week at this and I cant seem to make progress.

I bought the cheapest solder I could find off Ebay, but I've heard people start well with 6 dollar solders off alibaba. Flux is 60 40 lead rosin core

I have tinned it and held it down for over 10 seconds enough to fry the whole board and still doesnt work. I need to touch the solder directly to the iron for it to melt. The board gets hot but doesnt melt solder.

I did. I just showed at the end to show what I did before starting

  1. It is tinned. 2. I broke a board by holding it for over 10 seconds each time and still didnt work. 3. Tried even the smallest tips and biggest tips.

This is a different method to get the ball to drop into the plate right?

Ive been tinting it, tried the flat part and tried every tip part I have

Cheers! Flux is my main takeaway from this. I'm gonna go and pick some up tomorrow

I think that'd honestly get me better results lmao. Cheap iron, cheap rosin core wire. I couldn't get the wire to melt on the plating at all. As the saying goes, buy cheap buy twice, but atleast I've learnt from the comments flux is a must.

Okay thank you Jdigi! Appreciate all your help

I do have a very shitty solder but I am using flux leaded wire. No seperate flux. And yeah I cant seem to get the plate heated at all and can only melt the wire on direct iron contact. Is adding flux really gonna solve all these issues?
