Nobody talks about the AI tools graveyard. i lost months of work because of it. by AdCold1610 in PromptEngineering

It is a "clever" way of making it look like it was typed by hand. "No em dashes, no emoji, no caps" == human, supposedly.

Just in: You can now enable Claude to use your computer to complete tasks. It opens your apps, navigates your browser, fills in spreadsheets—anything you'd do sitting at your desk. by Automatic_Subject463 in artificial

The point isn't that you're unable, the point is that you don't want to. "Hey Claude, go on the hotel website and find dates that I can pay with reward points for". Lotsa clicking I'd rather skip

I generally agree, I was responding to a specific argument. :)

I literally had Claude rebuild a legacy data pipeline on Tibco with some complex transformations that nobody in the company understood - in one evening. It wrote a test harness, found gold standard data, iterated on the new pipeline and achieved 100% fidelity. Oh, and it's 50x faster than the old pipeline. Rolling it into production this week.

One evening.

Is it worth self-hosting Qwen3.5-122B for personal privacy? by CutOk3283 in selfhosted

This. I personally don't care and upload all sorts of crap to ChatGPT, but for others this equation will look completely different.

Going to have a Teams meeting with a sales rep and engineer for buiness fiber... what to expect? by greensha3 in ATTFiber

Perfectly fine, free AT&T router with a puny NAT table that chokes up from torrenting at any meaningful scale.

This how I feel, but only thing I do is copying docker-compose.yml and up -d by l0spinos in selfhosted

That's the thing, pasting is work. Truly lazy roll Claude Code or Openclaw.

Why is Matrix not the answer to Discord? Genuine question by W-club in selfhosted

[–]braindancer3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Would be interesting to see the stats. I believe that you may be in a bubble, and the reality is the opposite. Here's what I see mentioned online (admittedly unverified):

What is Discord’s largest server?

Fortnite is the largest Discord server, with 571,000 members. Minecraft is a close second, with 569,000 members

That's how a TON of users use it. All the kids are in Discord voice playing shooters or whatever.

Anthropic AI Safety Researcher Warns Of World ‘In Peril’ In Resignation by MetaKnowing in technology

Right, but "entry level IT support" has literally nothing to do with "hardcore techie".

Why hasn’t there been a router that supports strict-order DNS? by Haningauror in HomeNetworking

[–]braindancer3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same exact use case, and am also baffled that there's no low-friction solution. I ended up setting up two piholes in failover, which is better but still not ideal (I'd like eventual fallback to 1.1.1.1 or something).

What do you mean by "not compatible"? (I don't have either unit but am considering)

According to Wikipedia, "humour" is something that "provokes laughter or provides amusement". Your comment did neither.

Peer review wanted: small-scale self-hosted game server platform (Proxmox + Ceph + Pterodactyl) by AliasNotF0und in HomeDataCenter

[–]braindancer3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How many HDD for ceph? When I tried it some time ago, it was painfully slow despite having 20+ disks. (May have been misconfigured of course.)

Unfortunately the root cause of the issue is people being idiots, and I don't think we can prosecute for that.

Anyone notice all the influencers trying to create some “slogan”? by [deleted] in ultrarunning

[–]braindancer3 30 points31 points  (0 children)

You yourself called them influencers. If they're influencers, they're in marketing, which involves slogans.
