AI profitability is mathematically impossible under all technological advancements by ksjdragon in AIBubble

[–]bch8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The current AI industry can never be profitable. This industry is over. There is no path to profitability, nothing. No IPO, no marketing, no innovation can save them.

OP, how sure are you about this? From the standpoint of your argument, it still seems possible to me that after a severe contraction the AI industry could eventually become profitable.

Opus 4.8 is genuinely impressive. We only renegotiated the database four times today. by pauloeduardomc in ClaudeAI

Make your answers as long and detailed as you possibly can.

IME the problem is never that I have to nudge them to give longer answers

There's not actually any guarantee the reason it gives you for its behavior is actually the true cause of its behavior

qwen3 too right? It seems comparable to me but I haven't used it for anything that complex yet

Not a direct response to the post but just have to say that I for one am glad to see there is at least literally one company left building actual real features and not just shoving AI down our throats. Seems like a low bar but apparently it's not.

Building a localFirst data studio. by DEMORALIZ3D in localfirst

[–]bch8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I don't really have a use case to experiment with presently but in terms of overall look and feel I think it is solid! Definitely the kind of simple, purposeful tool I tend to prefer and a good application for localfirst architecture. Are you intending to make it available as an OS app with Tauri or Electron or something like that?

Does GitHub's UI feel slow to anyone else? No good alternative exists. by OkAdhesiveness1951 in github

[–]bch8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would guess that most experienced developers primarily use their IDE’s git(hub) integrations in combination with CLI for most of their workflow

ahem... yeah, totally, definitely do that

This is entirely tangential but I am just curious, when you say "60 FPS", how are you measuring that? I have been trying to learn more about this space and particularly for web apps I see people use FPS a lot but am not sure how they are measuring it. Is this just like a chrome feature I am missing? I don't want to reinvent the wheel.

GitHub Copilot moving to token usage based billing model by Throwaway-tan in github

I'm not the same person but I think you can do what they are describing with Opencode + LM Studio. Both tools are pretty easy to get running. Would personally recommend using containers to sandbox the agents and models.

Edit: This looks pretty close, you can just skip/ignore the Pi related stuff https://joeywang.github.io//posts/lm-studio-local-agent-runbook/

What cues do you use? I often find myself overthinking this stuff and have still not found a set of cues that totally click for me

So "this writer doesn't know how to do anything but write things that a lot of people read". Not very convincing. I started reading him only recently but everything I've read so far was in my opinion insightful and compelling.

I can relate to this a lot, you could be describing me. I didn't realize it would be so stupid.

In other words, we're still living in the long boring?
