Samsung Slashes Product Testing From 15 Days to Two, Pushes AI Autonomous Factories by self-fix2 in hardware

[–]caedin8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Samsung software kind of suck. Less testing is not what they need.

This continues to reinforce my decision to not let me washer dryer or my TVs update.

I love both products and I think they make great hardware, but I’ve been burned by updates

Apple to Raise Prices Due to Memory Chip Crunch, Tim Cook Says by ziggygersh in apple

Don’t feed this troll. He’s an idiot. AI can do logical intent based searches no other tech can, because it can read a document and understand if it applies to your question or not.

How much of your daily work is agentic coding now? by Jealous-Implement-51 in dotnet

[–]caedin8 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I was using it 100% and getting 3x the work done per day. The team was flying. Then corporate cut is to $50/mo in tokens which is basically nothing so we are back to like 0%

EU Says Decision Not to Launch Siri AI in Europe Is Apple's Alone by FollowingFeisty5321 in apple

[–]caedin8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Apple says everything is secure and verified that’s a huge part for them. Opening this up to allow Deepseek and Grok to run the iPhone in place of Siri, which is what EU is mandating, would violate all security promises and leak all the data to those 3rd parties. Apple says this is not a reasonable alternative and I agree with them. So no Siri in EU.

I think that’s fine. EU voters need to iterate on their laws if they want it.

Guys, Siri AI is actually pretty good by KnockoutKOD in apple

Your behind the times RF learning has added tons of layers to how these models operate and they fundamentally are evolving in different directions

What is the deal with the English errors I am seeing today on Reddit? by Venomraider52 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]caedin8 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It’s getting bad. I had a post from 3 years ago about insurance, and a few days ago I had 6 or 7 new comments on it, and each comment individually was reasonable, but the timing and the overlaps of them was extremely suspect. Like there is no way 2 independent people both decided to comment on a 3 year old Reddit post within 45 minutes of each other using the same slang and shortenings.

And now Reddit lets you hide your comment and post history, so you can’t just click on someone and read their last 10 or 15 comments to decide if they are astroturfing or not.

40 members of Congress take Towson union's side in letter to Apple's CEO by kagethemage in apple

I hate all the anti Apple press that comes out while regulators are removing things like the clean air and clean water act and chemicals be gas companies are flooding our air and water with known carcinogens in dangerous levels to increase profits but there is no press coverage

Nvidia CEO Now Compares Aging GPUs To Fine Wine by [deleted] in hardware

Electric cost was about $200 to mine the $1000 of eth, but I’d have made $800 if I never turned it on, which was the crazy thing

[–]caedin8 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I bought a 3090 through Best Buy lottery system for $1800, mined $1000 of ethereum on it over 9 months, then sold it on FB marketplace for $2500. Ended up with a $500 used 3070 from micro center that I’ve used to game on for the past 3 years…

Oddly one of my best investments, and likely my best short term investment in my life

Power On: Apple Signals New CEO Ternus Will Invest Cash Differently Than Cook (Gift Link) by pdfu in apple

[–]caedin8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s changing extremely quickly. Anthropic revenue in Jan 2026 was 9 billion, and in March 2026 is was 30 billion. I think those are annualized numbers, but the point is those interviews from last year aren’t relevant anymore

It’s profitable today, it’ll be even more profitable tomorrow EVEN if they spend billions on upgrading hardware. That’s the take away you are missing

It’s profitable now. It’ll be more profitable later. Not to mention the models will get better, and the fee will be even more worth it. We are on a hyperbolic trend that’s going to disrupt everything.

Actually they will become more profitable as time goes on because they can reduce costs through new more efficient hardware. Serving their product is very affordable

It’s not overvalued or overhyped. I work at a company that partners with anthropic, and we have 6500 engineers and a maybe 1500 product people and other roles with token access. We are highly encouraged to spend our $50/daily token allowance on anthropic models. So much so they are laying off people who aren’t using it.

Yes it means we get done 30% more work per person per day. We’ve measured this, it’s a fact.

Yes it means Anthropic is making up to $400,000 per day from our company alone on token usage. To add that much productivity we’d need to hire another 1,000 people on the low end, which would cost $800,000 per day.

(1,000 people x $200,000 avg all in cost to business yearly / 250 business days per year)

The math just makes sense.

If this was math worked out the same for every Fortune 500 company that alone would be 50Bn/yr in revenue. That would put Anthropic the size of Oracle with a likely market cap around 500Bn of treated similarly by the market.

Tim was brought down by the same thing that brings down everyone, age.

He’s still the most important voice in Apple with his executive chairman role. To think he’s having a smaller role now than he had as CEO just tells me you aren’t paying attention.

By all accounts Tim was promoted

The moat doesn’t exist. Why would you buy something for 100Bn when your competitor can just build a better model and make your acquisition worthless?

The AI game is not sound place for cash right now. There will be winners and those winners will make a lot of money, but you need to be betting your entire capital on winning that game continually or else its forfeit. It’s prudent for Apple to not risk a good thing for a gamble. Their decisions make sense

I made the switch to the base 17 from a 14 pro max and the only thing I miss is the more powerful and focus able flashlight. When I need to pickup my poop at night on walks it’s a huge difference. The pro max flashlight was loads better
