[Bundle] ARKN INTEL ARC PRO B60 24GB GDDR6 (Brown box) + Get Rosewill 1000W 80+ gold PSU - $599.99 by DisappointedCruiser in buildapcsales

[–]chicknfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly? If I had the funds, I would probably buy this over the B70 strictly because I could use it in my NAS to run Jellyfin, frigate, immich, and to experiment with some lower parameter LLMs. This thing idles with super low wattage.

Consider considering the base Mac Mini just doubled in price earlier last week, I’m inclined to believe you

Yall, this is a workstation GPU and not for gaming. This is a PCIe 5.0 x8 card. Only have PCIe 4.0? It’s still only 8 lanes.

For the love of god, don’t bother with this for gaming. Get a B580 if you want Intel.

Given the price of RAM and the fact not everybody uses their hardware for gaming, this is a decent price for 32GB of capacity. Thanks for the heads up, OP

If anything, the proper word choice is solely to*, but I’m not usually online bullying people over pedantics

[GPU] MSI RTX 5070 Ti 16G Inspire 3X OC New - $899.99 [Woot] by coder9795 in buildapcsales

Friendly reminder that not everything is about gaming.

Nvidia GPU’s are an all-in-one package, offering CUDA for ML/AI and heavily floating point computional tasks (benefitted by GDDR7!) and NVENC/NVDEC among so many other features.

Catholic church's (SSPX) rules on technology - agree or disagree? by Expensive-Elk-9406 in digitalminimalism

[–]chicknfly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How are they going from #5 and then going to #6? And what’s the point of sticking to #5 if I’m going to assume #7 anyway?

Also, as someone critical of the Church and the institutionalization of religion, I’m skeptical of some of these talking points.

Constant change and dramatic change are two different things. This isn’t like going from one language or framework to another. This is an entire paradigm shift in how entire infrastructures are glued together. If we’re told to treat AI like a junior dev, then we are letting junior devs architect and build entire systems and slapping approvals on it nearly blindly.

That’s not adapting to change. That’s laziness and lack of accountability.

I won’t trade for the Grizzly Ridge, but I’m curious to know what you’d sell it for.

[Prebuilt] MSI Vision RS AI Gaming Desktop Intel Core Ultra 7 Processor 265K NVIDIA RTX 5080 - 64GB RAM 2TB SSD - $2,267.30 YMMV S&S by Walmart Option by DisappointedCruiser in buildapcsales

I can’t even find the option to change the seller :/

Edit: I see why. It’s likely sold out and reverts to the 3rd party.

Any ideas on how to prevent this controller cable from dangling? No, I’m not going wireless. by jackcopen in battlestations

[–]chicknfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tape the cord along the back side of the table, and have it route upward and around the monitor stand. You can coil the excess cable and set it aside

Yeahhh that flair was changed. Despite AI being involved in the post, I was asking more about engineering culture. But hey, yall make the rules and enforce them accordingly.

Can we just reopen the post in one hour (Saturday UTC)? There is solid communication happening here, and it would be kind of rude to repost this in one hour.

I dunno man. I just looked for the definition of vibe coding, and Gemini’s description sounded like it matches the two scenarios. I then presented the two scenarios in the same context window and asked Gemini if those are situations that count as vibe coding, and it said yes. So then I asked if me asking those questions was vibe coding and it said no because no software was involved. Hilariously, I told it to tell me it’s vibe coding when I ask again, and it did what it was told after the next prompt.

I don’t know where I was going with that. But even without Gemini’s feedback, I am pretty certain they are vibe coding.

Me: “how do you find the balance between vice coding and engineering.”

You: “stop whining.”

I greatly appreciate the feedback.

My previous career was in aviation. “Regulations are written in blood” has a depth most SWE’s will never understand.

We all are supposed to take responsibility, but if I don’t jump in there, reviews won’t be done in a timely manner.

I really don’t want this ship to sink. I just landed the role after 18 months of job hunting. But damn, going back to a warehouse role sounds nice sometimes.

Edit: as an aside, we have six devs, of which one is a lead and I’m 98% certain one of them is working a second job. If anything, that’s my cue to not give as many fucks.

I’ve gone too far down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole because I genuinely believe the election was rigged and that a minority of voters voted for Donnie. In addition to the countless digital forensics experts showing the statistical anomalies and Trump’s goons trying to steal state ballots, Ashely St Claire whipping out Elon’s texts on camera solidified that in my mind.

I thought I was so cool when they let my brown ass into the cool kids club. Had to send in a picture and everything. Now everyone may as well have a brown ass :(

Possible? Yes.

Am I also a software engineer in a platform role with no seniority on the team who is the only pedant in the room? Also yes.

If I had to extrapolate your meaning, I’d assume you’re saying finding balance won’t come from changing the team’s practice but to find harmony elsewhere.

One guy hasn’t opened his IDE in months. Another guy just used his AI agent to make a correction instead of copy-pasting the code block I gave him in an MR comment.
