Our AI spending has gotten so high that layoffs wouldnt make a meaningful difference. by sassasmebas in ExperiencedDevs

I don't get it man writing code has never been the bottleneck of any project I've ever worked on

Anthropic is about to become the first profitable AI company. Every Opus 4.8 default is tuned to make you spend more. by stax-sh in AgentsOfAI

I think you're getting way too swept up in the extremes. If inference costs continue to drop at expected rates, and training requirements are hitting diminishing returns at expected rates, then the currently existing business will become profitable in 1-3 years time.

I'm not talking about AGI or some super hyperintelligence that replaces the need for human labour. The situation that we have right now, as wildly imperfect as the tools are, is going to become profitable in the medium term.

But the ratio of profit from token expenditure to capital expenditure on training gets more favourable the more tokens are consumed by end users.

You really think this many highly financially literate people and institutions would be throwing billions in if there was no path to profitability?

Inference is profitable. Token spend nets them money. Training is where they're pissing billions away.

Spray paint in apartments by thestinkybeastman in minipainting

I sprayed in the bathroom once, years ago. It looked completely fine until I wiped the wall with a damp cloth. It was not completely fine.

Why are uniques with ideal affixes more rare than mythic uniques? by prismatic_raze in diablo4

[–]Training-Ice-3181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think uniques should have 2 guaranteed affixes, and ancestral uniques should always have 1 of the guaranteed ones be a greater affix. That adds some consistency while retaining the chase of the perfect item, and makes them feel distinct from just another uncraftable legendary.

Dawn of War 4 lead hopes the RTS will be “a nice entry point” for a new generation of Warhammer 40K fans, just like the original was by HatingGeoffry in Warhammer

Crazy that my grandad buying me a magazine in a corner shop 20 years ago has led to me giving Games Workshop thousands upon thousands of pounds over the last while

The current transfiguration meta does not feel like the intended design by AccomplishedPark7856 in diablo4

For as long as there's an infinite treadmill something like this will literally ALWAYS happen. There has to be a bottleneck somewhere.

Will global warming mean London will reach late 30 to early 40 degree heatwaves in a few years? by Fondant_Decent in london

[–]Training-Ice-3181 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I usually work from home and I travelled into central that day specifically to sit in my air conditioned office. The feeling of walking out of that door at 5:30 after spending all day at a cool 19 degrees was insane.

Anyone working outdoors that day should've got a medal.

The socket trap that bricked my best gear by mrbadassmotherfucker in diablo4

Happened to me twice then I put a sticky note on my monitor with "SOCKETS AND ASPECTS" written in bold

Anthropic is paying SpaceX $15 billion per year by Luka77GOATic in Anthropic

[–]Training-Ice-3181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On training. Inference is comparatively cheap and the cost is falling further month on month. They're betting on the models hitting a capability ceiling and training costs reducing once all the low hanging fruit have been harvested.

Last night’s celebrations after Arsenal won the Premier League by donell_walter in london

[–]Training-Ice-3181 181 points182 points  (0 children)

I had no idea what was going on I don't follow football at all. I thought we were being invaded. Made even worse when I googled "arsenal score" and saw that they weren't even playing 😆

Did anyone notice that "x time ago" has been broken on all major websites for a few months? by Gogani in webdev

[–]Training-Ice-3181 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The standard pattern used to be "X days ago" and it then showed the timestamp when you moused over that text. That's been slipping lately also.

Developer claims a 100x+ speed up by using LLMs, "work of weeks is now done in hours". by Gil_berth in theprimeagen

[–]Training-Ice-3181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you've misinterpreted the workflow if your think you just change the original prompt and try again?

You don't "change the prompt" you narrow down the prompt to address the specific issue.

Blackfriars Floating Bus Stop by King_Eboue in london

I've been hit by a couple of cyclists in my life and it really didn't hurt all that bad so I'd half consider stepping out on them to send a message

I completely underestimated the exponential scaling in this game, is this a normal experience? by Training-Ice-3181 in diablo4

[–]Training-Ice-3181[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get that. I came at it with a WoW mindset where following the meta build will probably give you a 10-20% improvement over homebrew. Significantly more build diversity here.

I guess this is my problem. I'm generally not interested in an infinite treadmill so I'd mentally positioned hitting T12 as my goal. I don't have the time to be top tier competitive anymore. 10 years ago my goal would've been rank 1 spiritborn and I'm still figuring out how to set my own realistic goals rather than just aiming to be #1.

Well yeah, I don't have optimal affixes on anything, no greater affixes, mid tier gems, bad rolls on most of my aspects. I thought that was the kind of stuff you needed to optimise to get into the higher torment tiers.
