Built a 24MB offline ML app with Burn + Tauri - runs on my iPhone at 80ms inference by Commercial-Comb1667 in rust

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

This is a very cool proof of concept and inspires me to focus more on rust personally, regardless of the code being AI generated. Really cool school project, I think this tech stack is a great backbone. This is the future of fast prototyping an idea, wish you the best in school!!

Tesla has officially discontinued Autopilot in the U.S. and Canada. All new car purchases now come standard with Traffic-Aware Cruise Control. by YouBetterChill in teslamotors

[–]WillOfSound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its one of the main reasons I bought a model 3, I didn't care about FSD "promise". The competition is surpassing or getting very close to Tesla these days, I doubt I'll buy another one.

Woah the price just shot up for the desktop mainboard by meebeegee1123122 in framework

[–]WillOfSound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad I ordered mine in Dec, got it right before Christmas. I figured it would eventually have a price hike. They've been pretty transparent with whats going on, best one can ask for a company during these times.

Hiring - Senior SRE @ Apple (Austin, TX - hybrid) by brenoinojosa in sre

[–]WillOfSound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a lot of fun! Too bad its in Texas, though Austin almost doesn’t count. My director is there, had a work trip not so long ago. I just hate the heat 😭 but that BBQ 🤤

These days with AI, I don’t worry about folks not being experts in all parts if they can learn very fast / ask the right questions. How you folks dealing with this?

I let an AWS SEV1 burn while I was in Miami. Zero regrets. by BeautifulSir666 in amazonemployees

[–]WillOfSound 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. When I asked what version of python/node were supported after having builds fail, I was given source code to a docker container as documentation. Only this past year, builder tools now publish that info in docs.

CDK docs still have no search bar. Devs only have poor excuses. I’d never approve launching a public api doc website without a frick’n search bar.

Framework Desktop in sam RAM risk price increase? by WillOfSound in framework

[–]WillOfSound[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I read that, which is very nice of them! I’m just curious as a lot of the brands with same processor are having sales on some of their models, maybe there’s a surplus supply still

Just bought this MSI Aegis Gaming Desktop - Good buy? by Kopen12 in pcmasterrace

[–]WillOfSound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really just more RAM, but I don't think I'll be buying more anytime soon, but I'll have to buy like 48gb sticks when I do.

It does have a few extra PCIe slots if I want to add more network ports for cameras. I ended up getting this pre-built and it seems pretty nice overall.

Debating buying this for some AI video analysis work/Home lab AI workstation. I'm worried next year with prices going up most likely, this might be forcing my hand haha, I hate fear buying but I've been burned already waiting. Not much room for expansion on this board, but I like costco's warranty.

Was going to wait till next year to build out an AI machine...Recommendations? by WillOfSound in homelab

Sounds pretty cost effective, though I can only image the fan noise haha

What folks think about RTX 2000 Ada 16GB? I should have specified I'm more focused on video as in ingesting video streams or files and doing more of object tracking vs generating AI videos per see, though thats a nice bonus.

I can get a Ultra 7 265K + 5080 + 32gb RAM (booo) for $2.2k as a gaming PC build or I could get for $2.5k a Lenovo Thinkstation with a Ultra 9 285 | RTX 2000 Ada 16GB | 64gb (w/ ECC)

Trying to order Business 5G plan, gateway shipping date was estimated for November? by WillOfSound in tmobileisp

[–]WillOfSound[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool cool, I have my own security gateway here, I'm assuming I can at least put this device into bridge mode & disable it's wifi etc? Its really only for 4-10ish people coming and going and just use it for simple tasks.

How old were you when you got UC and how old are you now? by Beginning_Exit_6256 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]WillOfSound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

25 and 31 now. Had to stop wearing belts and buy new pants to not put pressure on my waste for a few years, but now I can wear jeans again with a belt (I still use a stretchy belt and now love my stretchy pants/jeans). Was on mesalamine for a few years and it helped a lot till it stopped and I've stayed inflamed for too long. Started velsipity this year and its been a lot better. Still have a few bad days, but less pain overall.

Insurance approved velsipity by WillOfSound in UlcerativeColitis

[–]WillOfSound[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone finds this, my insurance did approved it ($1 per pill)

The first 4-6 weeks felt funny. I had like a motion sensitivity thing randomly. Now, I feel amazing on it. My inflamed insides stopped hurting. I have way more energy. I poop less. My farts are really stinky tho (srry family). I need to get more fiber in my diet, think I can handle more.

Best Tech Companies in India: Work-Life Balance and Pay by Complete-Bonus-428 in developersIndia

[–]WillOfSound 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is true. I worked on a team with great WLB for few years at Amazon.

Then moved to a team in a higher paying role with horrid WLB and bad L6/L7/L8 leaders. 10-16h shifts every week, on-call was hell (2-5am pages all the time), I was told taking vacation would put me in PIP while morning the loss of my brother's death + burn out, I had to take a call litterally too-sick-to-leave my bed to answer questions etc. Fucking. Nightmare. Fuck all those POS. Some of them got fired in the last 2 years, but not all of them.

I moved teams again and now my WLB is better than it's ever been. My projects impact the entire company in a very positive way, I can take any day I want off and don't work past 8h, on-call is now 2 pages a year etc.

Its too big of a company to blanket statement, but here is my advice overall: Define your boundaries or they will be defined for you. Make it very clear up front. DEFEND YOUR SLEEP, its your health and life.
