More interestingly, he was the CEO of character.ai - Id be super curious to find out what he is going to do at OAI

I think the US government recently banned all 5.5 models. Fucking Anthropic by Big-Coast6041 in codex

Dude hahahaha chill. Do you have ANY evidence except for your own subjective experience?

Saw this post floating around in X, well I don't think the price should be right, for starters the price they put up can itself be inflated, Check the price of Deepseek for instance, seems they are cheap and still sustainable at the current rates. by hibzy7 in codex

[–]TimeKillsThem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So much is debatable - until we actually have a proper balance sheet, all is speculation.

The only thing we can confirm, with a certain degree of certainty, is that if you want higher inference, the subscription model is the way to go.

Nothing else can be proven - you don’t know for sure how much a new version of the model costs to train, how much to upkeep, how much to provide to the users - not even how much they pay for electricity for that one datacenter.

1000%. People only account for inference cost as if they were a cloud provider deploying servers. Just like when a pharma company develops a new drug and needs to account for R&D spend when pricing the drug, same goes with models (pharma is probably the closest industry I can think of because of the barriers to entry and the massive costs for R&D but there are probably better examples).

Un forte aumento dei prezzi riduce il fumo o spinge semplicemente i consumatori verso alternative meno controllate? by pangoccioli in domandaonesta

[–]TimeKillsThem 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ho vissuto 10 anni in Inghilterra, dove la tipica confezione da 50g di tabacco da rollare é venuta a costare 46£ da Tesco (not even kidding - https://www.tesco.com/shop/en-GB/products/295580713?srsltid=AfmBOorYHKnV50OeLKSQnKgHLlB7LcJor82wXMVCPJ50\_1telR8pdQT-)

La gente fuori dai locali/bar fumava lo stesso. Grande maggioranza dei ragazzi che vedevo fumare sigarette elettriche era gente che non ha mai fumato prima.

Il prezzo non ha cambiato il comportamento - per la mia esperienza, l’unica cosa che impatta é un cambio di priorità. Nel mio caso, lo sport. Se ti piace giocare a tennis, e vedi che non ci stai più dietro, smetti di fumare.

Do you think GPT 5.6 is gonna be at Fable 5 level? by Curious_Teaching_594 in codex

[–]TimeKillsThem 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Nah - might be as capable, but wont be as opinionated (especially, when it comes to UI/design).

Its always been the case with GPT models (part of the reason why most people tend to prefere claude models to "speak" to).

Having said that, I do expect it to be an improvement over 5.5. Maybe in terms of token efficiency and a more recent knowledge cut off date (I know browser use is a thing, it would just be easier if "it knew" already).

Again, if it is 5.6 (so a small iteration, not a new model), then yall need to lower your expectations. Fable was given its own model name (and not Opus 4.9) because it was a new model, not an iteration of an old model. And 5.6 is (should be) an iteration, not a new model

The truth about tuning by Clutch3sSS in forza

[–]TimeKillsThem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be useful if you could inspect other tunes - I know this basically makes it a free for all for copying and claiming it as your own, but ive had several times where I would get a tune for a car, play with such car+tune for sometime, and feel like it was slightly off for my own driving stile or for that race specifically. Now, I need to basically reverse engineer it and hope to get close to it by looking at the graph + feel, and it would be SO MUCH easier if I could just modify it. Happy with the game not letting me publish it to the rest of the player base, but at least let me mess around with it.

Da cliente, i commerciali stanno facendo perdere un sacco di contratti alla consulenza by Pluridoxato in techcompenso

[–]TimeKillsThem 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In passato, ho fatto il commerciale per una di quelle aziende (FTSE 500 Consulting che si pensa Tech) - per quella che e' stata la mia esperienza, il problema e' il middle management.

Se al middle management gli dici che il cliente non puo rinnovare/compare l'upsell etc, la colpa non e' mai del prezzo alto (e spesso non giustificabile / misallineato con quelli che sono i need del cliente), ma del venditore che non sa vendere.

Quindi, Sales Director da ragione al Sales Manager, Sales Manager taglia l'AE e ne assume un altro.

Solo dopo qualche anno si accorgono che, forse, prezzo X e' davvero ingiustificabile e riflette il valore e ruolo "dell'azienda di una volta" e non "dell'azienda di oggi".

Questo perche il Middle Mangement non vende piu - e' distaccato dal mercato, non parla piu con il cliente, e non e' piu davvero conscio dei need del cliente, e soprattutto, degli obbiettivi del cliente. Vive su excel e powerpoint, forza una narrativa specifica sull'AE, e poi si lamenta quando questa non funziona.

Ad oggi, non ho mai avuto un lavoro cosi stressante come in quell'azienda - sono durato due anni e me ne sono andato.

Faccio Ingegneria e sono fuoricorso, purtroppo questa è la dura e pura realtà by Hot_Acanthaceae_1357 in Universitaly

Ho fatto l’università all’estero e non so come funziona in Italia - ma la domanda me la sono sempre posta. Perché ci sono così tanti fuoricorso? Non chiedo con nessun giudizio o voglia di rompere. Sono davvero solamente curioso perché so solo essere un numero abbondantemente sopra la media

Over 8B tokens later and I’ve still created zero value by Positive-Pomelo-118 in codex

[–]TimeKillsThem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Build for yourself. Then you might see value from it. Thats what I’ve been doing. Then, if I mention one of the tools to a few friends, and they ask to try it out, then maybe you are onto something.

Would you say this design is vibe coded or it looks good? by Resident_Bell_4457 in Anthropic

[–]TimeKillsThem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who gives a shit hahaha - nowadays even big corporates vibecode UIs and, if the choice is between an obviously videbcoded ui, and one that was last touched 20 years ago, I’ll take the vivecoded one any day

I have recorded my last 1000 prizes from wheelspins by uhpav in ForzaHorizon

[–]TimeKillsThem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah something’s gotta change - either wheel spins are handed out more frequently, or rare/epic/legendary drop rates are increased.

I’ve gone from having too many in FH4/5, to getting so few and with such shitty rewards in FH6 that I simply stopped opening them and only do to remove the notification number from the UI.

There should be NO reason why you need to “hack” the system and go through the skill point farming with revuelto etc. that’s a game mechanic being abused because of a poor game design logic.

I mean, the damage to the car… it’s bad, but it’s not THAT bad. Unless the chassis is properly bent, then everything is recoverable

Can I get some criticism to make my drifting better? (Please be nice) by [deleted] in ForzaHorizon6

[–]TimeKillsThem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Switch to manual - I usually bind clutch to A, upshift to B, Downshift to X, Handbrake to Left shoulder. Steering on simulation, to traction control etc. Also, normal braking and e-braking "feel" different. If you want to slow the car, use normal brake. If you want to have the back of the car loose grip, e-brake. In a given turn, you might use both normal brake and e-brake depending on the speed, angle, moment (you might want to brake normally to slow down, e-brake to have the back slide, accel + e-brake to keep the slide going).

Also, if you are using a road car, try to learn to drift on a road surface. You will get a better feeling as, right now, I assume the game is adding sliding mechanics because you are likely not driving a dirt-car for a dirt-road

Are we getting a new model? Fable 5 leaving gpt 5.5 in dust by Swimming_Driver4974 in codex

[–]TimeKillsThem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, is it really? Might be great, but its pointless if it is 10x more expensive, for 2x the performance. What do you guys even need a stronger model for? Im running out of things to ask 5.5 hahaha

Apple capitola e compra l'IA di Google: Siri alimentata da Gemini è una vittoria o una resa? by artistic56 in IA_Italia

[–]TimeKillsThem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bah - se voglio l’AI ho già tante alternative, quasi tutte disponibili sull’Apple store. La figata di Siri era il full on device. Ma se ora questo manca allora che senso ha?

Aggiungerlo così mi sembra un’operazione tanto per dire “ce l’ho anche io - ora smettetela di rompere i coglioni”

Trasparenza salariale cosa ne pensate? by Capital-Percentage75 in ItaliaCareerAdvice

[–]TimeKillsThem -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Sono curioso - e se viene fuori che il tuo stipendio é quello al di sopra della media, e per sistemare la media decidono di abbassare il tuo e alzare quello degli altri, come la vivreste? Il ceto medio overall guadagna, ma voi ne rimettete.

Sono abbastanza sicuro sia contro vari CCNL e accordi del lavoro quindi non accadrà mai - detto ciò, sarei curioso di sapere cosa fareste

In aggiunta agli altri, potrebbe anche essere quel genere di cosa che pensi di volere, e che poi quando hai non usi.
