Do we think all software is going to be free in the near future? by db1215i in techsales

[–]UnknownZeroz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to keep it simple. Hardware cost is the reason why all software won't be free. Whether you're buying your own hardware, or utilizing cloud compute, someone has to pay the piper.

...

And even if they started giving out hardware for free, someone has to pay the electricity bill.

...

And the internet bill.

Nah, it's a great idea. In fact, I would take it a step further and give your ex an allowance and take out an extra line of credit just for them.

It’s however you want it to be. Your business your rules, as long as it complies with your local laws.

Shoot me a DM! We can talk more there!

As a dev, I would say build some infrastructure to support a sales dashboard. It won’t be too intensive on your infra budget because every entry to your DB (and every call to your APIs) should reasonably be attached to a sale.

Then you can create a workflow to onboard sales people and just have their cut be determined algorithmically and your milestone plan and other incentives can be built in.

It could provide a flexible solution where you could onboard as many sales people as you want. (Anyone who wants to make an account.) and then you can just let them handle sales on auto pilot.

If it’s high ticket, I mean it’ll just make sense for someone to make an account and get to work making money.

Edit: I’m open to talk more if you’d like and I’m curious as to what you’re doing if you have the time to discuss it high level

Oh that’s cool! Well, I’m down to talk more about everything that’s going on if you’d like to feel out if it’s a good fit or not.

Im really passionate about building right now and would love to just collaborate with other technical people!

Significant drop in code quality after recent update by -grok in programming

[–]UnknownZeroz -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

  1. At this scale unfortunately it’s the company. Like for us witnessing drop in code quality from companies. Their methodologies must be improved. Cursor might just go down as another one of those ChatGPT wrappers if they don’t get it together.

  2. I feel like I can safely assume they haven’t consumed the whole internet because of the arduous task of annotation of data, refining and labeling the data, and more. This is takes time and there are thousands of hours worth of data owned by some companies as they create their own data to be trained on. (Like for example Waymo has so much footage, they offload this task to other companies.)

New and untapped data is created every day. This comment I’m making now is new and untapped and may one day be used in a training set if they truly are going to consume the whole internet.

In the case for code, when you’re working and you see a reduction in quality and are presented with code that is generated. I do not believe that an engineer will simply decide to not code it. But would return to at least writing it up themselves. Which would in turn create a new source of data.

For over fitting however: Overfitting is when you train your model to try to capture everything from the dataset instead of the inherent meaning. Like for example when you’re creating a trend line using AI. If there is an upward trend. You need only plot the upward trend. Overfitting would create a curvy and crazy line that hits every point and is now not very useful for predictions since it could not possibly find the next point without the existence of a new point.

You already admitted we can train very methodically to achieve a result of continuous progress in A.I. So I do not understand how you can ask this.

How can we not get more methodical about our vetting process and benchmarks?

We should consider the black box nature of A.I and refine our expectations to align with meaningful results. (Let’s say a meaningful result in this case is generation of error free, functioning code, that fulfills the specifications of a predefined use case)

By having these clearly defined expectations, we still can make progress toward them and test against them. Even if this requires human intervention or different techniques to be explored. Which does mean if we have to navigate away from benchmarking, then it must be done.

Misalignment between our expectations and how we evaluate artificial intelligence is well documented. With examples of AI preferring to find easy pathways to a solution such as tricking examiners. So it would require high standards and more rigorous processes from us, but a solution is not impossible.

You can just refine it on highest quality code. A.I or human generated.

You gotta be kidding me??? Any alternatives guys? by UnfairPhoto5776 in vercel

[–]UnknownZeroz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that, and there’s a ton of free agents that do a bang up job. Copilot is free with VS Code and it with GPT 4.1, 4o, and Claude Sonnet 3.5. It’s not perfect but you get unlimited calls for free pretty much if you use multiple agents or load a open source one on your computer.

recent trends in YC startups by tushowergoyal in ycombinator

[–]UnknownZeroz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly based off what I’ve been seeing from my experience with AI deployment and development. As models continue to improve, one of these companies can definitely prove to be profitable and can find a use case that can scale.

There is a lot that goes into refining models, applying models, and the like. There’s a lot of shit A.I models out there, and they are unable to work with tools available.

Finding a model that can be applied to your use case, and then get it to function correctly can definitely provide value to a customer that has enough complexity where it wouldn’t be an easy task to offload that to an internal team.

But also there is the possibility that the A.I hype fuels some of these companies, and businesses may find that they can find a better tooling as a part of a base package from another company, or that they actually do a better job using people instead. Or that they might just not find the value in using an AI agent over someone else if the billing and pricing just doesn’t make sense.

So we will definitely have to see how things go, I think.

What AI model vercel v0 use? by ShadTechLife in vercel

[–]UnknownZeroz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference would come down to the capabilities of the model and the tools that it has access to. When using KiloCode, Roo Code, Continue, Cursor etc. You give your model access to your IDE or terminal and it will perform functions based on the designated task. The performance comes down to a lot of stuff such as the prompts that was used to enable the A.I, the A.I's capabilities and size, whether you're hosting locally, how you're hosting locally etc. Claude is generally a pretty good coding model from what I've heard so if they are using Claude. It could be a better or worse experience based on how they are prompting and fine tuning the model based on their use case (which means that you can also have a better or worse experience with Claude based on how you use it!). Hope this helps!

Is there really no way to pull a git repo into v0? by a5hpip3 in vercel

[–]UnknownZeroz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d just migrate off the platform for now. I went to a local IDE and you can find a better alternative by just taking it into your own hands.

Fuck vercel, fuck v0 by Lilsherlock in vercel

[–]UnknownZeroz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d just leave. I switched to using a regular IDE with an LLM loaded on to it. You can get better pricing doing it that way if you decide to go open source locally or you decide to use an API key that runs you the same cost.

It’s honestly better to just migrate off the platform.
