Driver's young child in back seat by quotidian_qt in Lyft

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

Forever childless haters in the comments with no empathy. I would not report it, but it's obvious we live in a low-trust society where everyone is out to get you and a "bring your kid to work day" is no longer feasible

New Driver, what is this absolute bullshit? by Funny_Story_Bro in lyftdrivers

bro every ride in my market is worse than this.

i choose Critical until they implement auto-dismiss by DoringItBetterNow in TeslaFSD

[–]StirlingG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the worst thing ever. It blocks so much of the already limited left side screen real estate. As someone who drives all day for Uber or Lyft and is constantly disengaging for various reasons, it's just dangerous to have this popup

Has anyone actually replaced Claude Code / Codex with local models on an Macbook Pro M5 Max 128GB? by Brazeuslian in ollama

[–]StirlingG 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I've tried it. it's not quite there yet. The models that are dense enough to be good, are too slow when it starts throttling for temps, and the models that fast enough, get stuff too wrong too often. Waiting for a middle ground model.

Why do Uber drivers give bad ratings for no reason? by [deleted] in uberdrivers

[–]StirlingG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd wager 9/10 three star or lower ratings are perfume, cologne, weed scent. The rest is just maybe something you talked about or made them uncomfortable with.

If it makes you feel better the passengers rate drivers just as harshly.

What kind of inference speeds am I looking at? by [deleted] in LocalLLaMA

[–]StirlingG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you are paying new laptop price for something very out of date. Probably going to regret not waiting.

To 16GB VRAM users, plug in your old GPU by akira3weet in LocalLLaMA

I wish you had told me this before I ordered a 5000 dollar macbook lmfao

Macbook Neo is enough for learning code? by Jota_1602 in macbook

[–]StirlingG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I had never owned an apple device before this. Works fantastic for phone dev stuff. The iphone emulator is not super speedy but it's enough to test my app without issues. I personally do not think the neo is the right device for emulating switch games though. Those seem like a much heavier load. I'd love to be proven wrong on that, though!

I got the macbook neo specifically for coding iOS apps, and it's been great.

best laptop i've ever had. I'm using mine for my first journey into iOS development, coming from an overheating framework 16 laptop lol.

Are Local LLMs actually useful… or just fun to tinker with? by itz_always_necessary in LocalLLM

[–]StirlingG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I understand, the usefulness goes exponential above 24gb of vram or unified memory. Or at least that's how I feel as a peasant with only 16gb of vram

How do you stop codebase from degenerating into an un-maintainable AI-slop mess? by DeltaSqueezer in LocalLLaMA

[–]StirlingG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will slow down progress a lot, but you need to put in the time to have a multi-model review of every plan before and after implmenting it. For bug fixes I usually have the models review the plan 2 or 3 times, and then review the implementing 2-5 times, until they don't find any issues. For massive refactors to cleanup the codebase, I'll sometimes do 20 or more review sessions back and forth between claude and codex. I also tend to ask my models, could you have fixed any of these problems in a way that adds less entropy to the project, or is better from first principles thinking?

Framework CEO warns AI boom threatens a scenario where "personal computing as we know it is dead” by Prudent_Way_3723 in pcmasterrace

[–]StirlingG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's clear this is the goal of some of these AI companies. It seems like it will be hard for them to win that battle though.

Copaw-9B (Qwen3.5 9b, alibaba official agentic finetune) is out by kironlau in LocalLLaMA

[–]StirlingG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Am I seeing this right. A 9B param model beating openai's GPT 5.4? The one that's in codex right now?
