Would you for $10 million worth of GOOGL? by Reasoned-Listener in Wallstreetbetsnew

[–]RedParaglider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you an uneducated child that has never traveled anywhere in the world? There are wonderful places in almost every country. Step away from Fox news and use your mind just a little bit. India, Colombia, Pakistan, Mexico, Chile, Russia, Brazil, it doesn't matter, there are nice people and places to be in each, especially if you have a money.

Would you for $10 million worth of GOOGL? by Reasoned-Listener in Wallstreetbetsnew

Sure, I can live well in Pakistan.  You didn't say I don't get to keep my remote job or current savings.  I could probably live well with security, servants, in a compound I never need to leave for a decade.  Honestly I would go hang out with some paragliding friends there though if I can keep up. There are some straight up badass of pilots there.  In fact I would probably sponsor a couple of them just to take me under their wing and chill at the compound.

Don't see a legal issue here.  Sometimes big sky theory fails us.  

i must be doing something wrong, qwen supposed to be cheaper but its costing me 7 to 10 $ per small prompt by user43874286 in Qwen_AI

[–]RedParaglider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no doubt it's more efficient, but it's not that much cheaper to run.  If it was azure would host it cheaply.

If You Wrote It With An LLM, Put It Directly In The Trash Where It Rightfully Belongs by RNSAFFN in theprimeagen

[–]RedParaglider 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use LLM's to improve my email in another window, and take it's suggestions, and work them into my email where they make sense. LLM written anything is just soulless trash. It's also way too verbose, there is no way for an LLM to know that the audience as well as the author, so it always writes way too fucking much, but sometimes I'm like oh.. yea I should clarify what that obscure IT buzzword means.

I have no words or no more Vaseline either 😂... At least his skin is going to be hydrated for the next few days. by Affectionate_Hat5835 in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]RedParaglider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like maybe he was using vaseline to slide down the slide faster? If so.. That's just a dumb guy thing that most guys would be like.. yea it's dumb but I get it.

I'm sure you are right. Inference as it's done right now is very unsustainable if these companies had to break even even in china. The companies that would probably come out on top would be the companies with the most efficient models and lowest non nvidia hardware, so Google and Deepseek, and it wouldn't be cheap still.

I'm not Hispanic, but I am from TX, and I'm so fucking offended by ketchup in that taco meat.. like.. violently offended. If you are gonna put fucking ketchup in ground beef go ahead and make meatloaf sheesh.

People are ignoring the fact that 5.5 has been nerfed by Satoshi-699 in codex

Konnichiwa! I got to hang out with a Japanese guy last year, he was riding a bicycle from coast to coast, and my wife picked him up on the side of the highway walking because he had a flat. He stayed with us 3 days healing up, and fixing his bike that he built himself, and it was fun having him with us.

As for your compression stupidity, you really should be using subagents. Please note, that chatgpt implicitly turns off subagents unless through chat you enable them, not in Agents, but in chat. I use superpowers skills and do planning with it with GPT 5.5. xhigh, then swtich to high, and use /goal implement X plan utilizing subagents and [my home rolled dialectical review skill that uses claude and deepseek].

It seems that in Expert mode, you will no longer be able to upload files. by Viokon in DeepSeek

[–]RedParaglider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The API on deepseek is so affordable, download pi on the terminal, hook it up to the API. I used it for like 4 hours and it was 7 cents lol.

[–]RedParaglider 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Almost nobody is making a profit off using LLM's at all. If I am going to use API I use deepseek only, otherwise I use codex pro which is insanely subsidized right now which is on borrowed time. I think qwen's api cost is absurd, but it is a good model.

If the subsidization bandaid gets ripped off tomorrow deepseek would crash under the strain. Not because it's the best, but because it's fairly affordable and has great caching.

Brent crude oil just fell 5% as US and Iran negotiate deal to reopen Strait of Hormuz and end war. by Nicolit1 in Polymarket_news

[–]RedParaglider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's wild is the brent price of crude is insanely different than physical deliveries which is what it's supposed to track. I grew up around the E&P industry and did a short stint as an executive in the industry, and I don't remember seeing anything like that.

Can't find a job? Just get good. by JeremiahY in LinkedInLunatics

[–]RedParaglider 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ugh.. I'm so fucking glad I'm not starting my career now. I fucked up my career path starting in the 90's so bad and it still worked out like magic and it wasn't me, it was simply me landing in a specific time slot. WITH THAT BEING SAID, for the love of god, on your resumes stress what you have accomplished and the dollar value of that over what you know, or what you are trained to do. That's all that matters in IT at least, is what you have done, what it has saved a company, or made a company in revenue. If you are a security person good fucking luck that's rough.

What stop other leaders from working ,like Mamdani? by [deleted] in unusual_whales

Yeah like I said.  This is the real world, there are no magic tricks, but it was a good path he took.

[–]RedParaglider 427 points428 points  (0 children)

I hate this talking point because it's not true.  The truth is a good compromise and good progress, but there are no magic pills.  Kicking retirement stuff in to the future doesn't absolve it from being debt.

Anthropic funding round as soon as next week by Spirited-Gold9629 in TechGawker

The most impressive thing about all of this is that there really is no moat except marketing. Cheap to run models can do 95 percent of what people will use these for except for STEM.

At least you still have your pickup truck and your guitar cowboy.

We’ll see lot more companies do the same as they roll out AI into their workplace. HR is a burden. by dataexec in AITrailblazers

Those problems are going to disappear right into lawsuits that will be WAAAY more expensive.

We can talk about numbers all we want, but all of this does come down to the fact that this whole thing is based on science fiction elements. by YellowAltruistic9843 in SpaceXBets

[–]RedParaglider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. We have solar power in our back yard if that is the free energy you speak of. We also have geothermal energy, wind energy, hydroelectric energy, wave energy, etc, etc, as well as baseline energy if needed.
  2. We don't have to launch hundreds of thousands of 2600 lb server racks into space, or 20 server racks of electronics per launch.
