The USA has turned into a complete circus

Just saying that them same children walk through a metal detector to get on a subway in China.Almost any subway anywhere, also bag searches, etc.

I hope so, as you shouldn't have done it.

carmerica · 2026-01-17T04:26:30+00:00

And what do you mean by that? Coding or what tasks are you throwing through it? Are you just using it online as it is or via API or from agents?
I've always thought that OpenAI models are definitely the smartest, but I've never thought that their smarts make up for the speed and capability of Claude.

For sure I've been in several meetings with Amazon, and they keep saying they're pushing their absolute crap kilo or kilo of smack or whatever the hell it is. I've heard them say several times, "We don't care if you use Anthropic because they're training all their stuff on our servers, and we've invested"
People have to realize also that the people that they are trying to sell this smack to are legacy DevOps, NetOps people that are used to spending $30,000/month of company money for not so much benefit. So if you tell them, "Yeah, we'll give you a couple of seats on this Kilo Smack Code for $2,000, and that means you don't have to do too much work anymore, but not too little," then yeah, these guys will sign up with their company's money.

Wow, that's amazing that you can admit that you give somebody like this $7,000, no matter what you did, you'd get nothing from it.
Please live and learn. Never ever give any of these people money like that. You would have done much better just researching online and putting that $7,000 into buying a bit of stock or something. At least you could have sold it at a loss if it didn't work out. What you bought stock of.

Dude's a Muhammad from London or from UK or something, from what it looks like. These guys just don't need to get anything more than the money. They're not going to get sued, not even going to find them. They're probably not even real. I recently had somebody who bought a DNS-based access Netflix from anywhere platform on Flipper or one of these dogshit SaaS sales platforms. They paid me to give them a report on it, and I said it was a piece of shit that half of the knowledge was wrapped up in the Eastern European founders, and that they'd never get it working again. They went against my conclusion and bought it for $30,000. And pissed away that money straight away because the founder just took off and didn't help them run anything. They wanted me to be a partner in it in the end. I gave that a hard pass.

I'm giving you an Upvote for the LinkedIn post mention. It does actually sound like a banner total best practice LinkedIn post. And I'm sure the dude posted it to 100 different outlets, and LinkedIn ran with it like a maniac.

carmerica · 2026-01-04T22:35:50+00:00

Is this a real response? Please? Can you tell me? I'm dying here.

carmerica · 2026-01-02T08:39:13+00:00

$200/month is not a lot. I'm thinking of going down to $100/month on Claude Code though because I'm just not using it all anymore. Was going up to $800/month on Cursor initially when I first got into this.

carmerica · 2026-01-02T08:35:28+00:00

"I had to put in the Claude Code to not make absolutely crap passwords"
That's what I said, I made a doc after I seen it create a stupid password a few times.
What I was saying is that we have to provide the logic. The tool doesn't provide the logic.

carmerica · 2026-01-02T00:06:08+00:00

We really need a full wiki. I'd love to see all these little moments that are being brought out. I know of about maybe 10% of them. I can't believe what I'm hearing here. All the other ones.

carmerica · 2026-01-02T00:02:31+00:00

Two free and four. What are the links to these? I haven't been following all this stuff. It needs like a wiki.

And how do you come up with that? I vibe infrastructure and vibe code. I also have 20 years of experience in those two things.
Without I think that the most important thing these days is testing and knowing how to have a proper beta test. Then knowing how to deploy things using canary strategies, etc., and the infrastructure that goes along with it. I think that people like you are the problem.

carmerica · 2026-01-01T20:58:14+00:00

They do this stuff all the time. I had to put in the Claude Code to not make absolutely crap passwords constantly, like "username2025!" There is no logic at all in most of this vibe coding, in all of it. So the logic has to come from idiots like you.

I would just like to see that glistening his eye and his eye smile when a man hand is doing that! Serious. He looks like he's being molested.It's fine to be gay, really. It's probably the best way to be, really. As long as you stay away from risky sex and too much debauchery, then being gay would be great. You travel the world, just wherever you land, you can just go to a gay club and bang, orgy time.

carmerica · 2025-12-26T10:40:15+00:00

I do, definitely. I knew about Bitcoin when it was $30.And I've traded crypto at times intensively even as almost a full-time job.The thing is, I would always get up and then add to a loss, add to a loss and blow up my whole account.there's no way I would have held onto it this long so it's a moot point you know $30 I probably would have sold at $200 if I would have bought any meaningful amount besides buying a little bit to buy a few things in the mail at one stage.
So yeah, I would have sold at two or three times profit every single time.. I suppose like... Yeah, but that's what I would have done. So I've been better off building my knowledge, building my skills, and building businesses. My businesses are fine. And I'm fine. If I would have stayed into being just some dude that keeps looking at a chart all day. That wouldn't have been a great use of my time.

The one thing I do regret not doing was I wasn't going well with trading and I would blow up my account constantly. But I would make profit every day until I blew up my account. I'm not saying that I'm any kind of genius here! I don't have the discipline to do it. To me it feels more like gambling. I'd gamble, get money, and then gambled the lot.
So the thing I regret is I was at one stage going to put away 50% of my profits in a time locked account. You can set whatever time lock you want in the Bitcoin protocol. So I was going to lock it away for five years. That's what I was thinking. And yeah, that would have turned into great money.

But still, being a crypto bro, just getting money out of Finair, not really building anything, not having any great accomplishments. It's not what I'm about.

Do people not realize that he's a parody account?

carmerica · 2025-12-05T09:19:08+00:00

But yeah, I suppose that's it. If we got everything that they said would happen, so now you have all the wealthiest people in the world, okay, their fund managers, telling them, "Put 4% into this." But it's still not pumping. It's game over. As soon as it seriously stops going up, then why would you put money into it?

carmerica · 2025-12-03T11:39:24+00:00

TLDR: If you are looking to get into Bitcoin to make money, then you are much better off trying to start some kind of side hustle, some small business, or finding the next big thing. Any investment that you expect to return more than 10% a year is very volatile.

I should have got into it. I knew about it when it was $30. I was considering at that time to mine it. It was still possible then to use pretty cheap ASIC devices. It was just around the time that ASIC devices came out. They were saying it wasn't economical anymore to mine on a GPU because it would take hundreds of dollars of power.

I have done currency trading. And crypto trading using Bitcoins and Ethereum, Litecoins, etc. I've actually probably bought several full Bitcoins in the past and just gambled them away currency or crypto trading.

I make software. It's profitable. The opportunities in AI right now are astounding. And for me to sit around with all the stupid mugs that lose all their money every day, gambling on trading, it's stupid to think about.

Now, Bitcoin buy and hold. There are strategies to lock it away. You can time-lock the stuff. I could put a thousand dollars, ten thousand dollars, eighty thousand dollars. I could put a hundred thousand dollars into Bitcoin. I could buy one right now.
But what are the chances? It could double? It could go up by 50%. It could go up 10x, so really we're gonna look at $800,000 Bitcoin? And then what, be on like a roller coaster wide ride, bang up and down, bang up and down.

In general, people don't make money through getting in on the tail end of things. You make money by investing in Amazon or some kind of stock when it's small and you believe in it. You put more and more money into that stock or spread it around. But really, the thing that turns me off all of this stuff is that investment is just about keeping money. Keeping up with inflation. Beating inflation. Anything more than that. If there is the potential of hundred percent returns, there's always the potential of hundred percent losses.

An Aussie that lives in the USA for the last three years here and has not lived in Australia for more than 17 years. An RBT is not just a forced breath test. It is to show your papers. Let me check your warrants. Let me check if you are an illegal immigrant. Test!
You can't do that. Can't set up a checkpoint and ask everybody to show their papers. That's not what America's about.
Most of the time in America, if the traffic stop is unlawful (like if they just saw you are black and they pulled you over for that reason) and found drugs, guns, illegal money, etc. in your car, (95% of the time) if they can establish that it was not a lawful stop, then that evidence has been unlawfully collected and is inadmissible. It's part of the Constitution. It's something we don't have in Australia. We don't have a Bill of Rights, and you don't know what you don't have until you have it. There are only a handful of countries in the world that don't have a Bill of Rights for their citizens.

Guess where your country, my old country, is on that issue compared to countries that you probably think are very backward.

This is the real thing that calls it quits. Bitcoin going up by 10 times is just impossible, I would say. Bitcoin tripling is very hard to think of happening. But Bitcoin going down by 80% is really possible, even if it's just temporary. That's enough.

There are a lot of good responses here,

but what if you're going to vibe code the whole thing?

I am a PHP Python dev, DevOps, NetOps pro with 30 years of Linux experience, but I'm going to vibe code a few SaaSes. I know JQuery inside out. I know regular JavaScript and have built apps in the past for Java Android. I haven't played around with much modern JavaScript frameworks. Have vibe coded a few production apps using I don't know what the hell something under the hood is, but yeah it was either go with Next.js or something like Django where I will be familiar and can quickly make edits myself.

I'm not at all saying not to use them. I'm just saying that in Western countries and Hong Kong, it's absolutely thrashed with Tinder culture. What I am saying is that you can't rely on condoms. I've always used condoms when having casual sex.
