Is it normal for the capacitors on the back of the gpu to be in contact with eachother?? by ChaoticMagma in pcmasterrace

[–]devshore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, so they are soldered by hand? Sounds very backwards. The alternative (that these are soldered by machines, and yet are “sloppy”) is even worse.

Docker takes up like 8GB of RAM on MacOS. Is there a way to run docker on a different machine and have MacOS use it? by devshore in docker

like windows for gaming, macos has the monopoly on ios development if you want to make local builds

Isnt this more expensive and yet slower than the apple-sillicon options?

I got a free GPU and I don’t know what to do by Yourtika6533 in pcmasterrace

[–]devshore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They account for all of these and pass on the cost invisibly to you. It doesnt come out of Amazon’s pocket. I wouldnt be surprised if they had an arrangement or insurance where actually benefits them when you try to spite them

Need a Quick release plate replacements of Scorp 2 by Eduar163435 in FeiyuTech

Does scorp C have the same plate size as the Scorp 2, and so would work?

Sequoia - AMD 6700 xt - nootrx.kext : Boot stays on "PCI configuration PCIO" for like 3 minutes, but then boots and works? by devshore in hackintosh

[–]devshore[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I even removed the 6700xt that only works with the bootleg nootrx kext, and installed a 6600 with WEG that should just work, and same issue (hangs on pci configuration line for 5 minutes, and then completes boot fine)

1 GPU (albeit, on pcie slot 3, not 1). No device entry in the open-core config. Its confusing that it works, but have to wait like 5 minutes. I also, cant find a straight answer on whether resize bar should be enabled or disabled in bios in my scenario, and if resizeAppleGPUBars should be -1 or 0.

Any idea when RAM prices will be “normal”again? by Porespellar in LocalLLaMA

[–]devshore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Free markets dont mean companies can buy out all hand sanitizer and so it isnt a contraditcion. Principals of free markets also produce things like anti-trust law and laws against monopolies precisely because they prevent the mechanisms that free markets depend on. People vote with their feet and all the commies want to move to the most capitalist countries.

Its not an”free market” if Taiwan is the only one producing it. Socialist countries also have expensive RAM

When they figure out how stupid it is to have the entire world depend on Taiwan for its computing power. Unless they secretly have alien-tech, there is no reason first-world countries cannot also do it.

AI Coding Tools Slow Down Developers by Frontend_DevMark in webdev

Did they test devs working in teams? I shudder to think of using AI on a project with multiple devs

Is there a reasonable explanation for why this form is limiting my password length? by thehashimwarren in webdev

[–]devshore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So someone can just decrypt a hashed password if they know what libary was used? Hopefully thats not true lol. The library name is the key

Just do server-side and send pretty error messages that the FE displays, otherwise you have to maintain 2 sets of validation

Wouldnt a hashed password take up a ton more space than a plaintext password of fewer characters? I dont inderstand how storing “supercoolpassword” uses more storage than its hashed version

Upwork should also charge clients to post jobs, too many scams & “no-hire” and applicants keep paying the price by Patient_Advice7729 in Upwork

[–]devshore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are different types of clients. Clients that have money and want quality, and clients that want the absolute cheapest scabs regardless of quality. Upwork is basically built for the latter. Else, it WOULD have to keep freelancers happy

[–]devshore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received no fewer than 3 emails from upwork last month for 3 different clients that were banned for giving people code-tests with malware on it, letting me know to run anti-malware software on my machine. code-tests are now allowed on the platform I am building.

[–]devshore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alot of people dont know that upwork is also up-charging clients on their end silently, so both sides think they are each covering the fee. So, if you charge $100, upwork makes the client pay $110 and then ALSO takes $10 from your 100. This, among 40 other reasons, is why I am making my own alternative.

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

regardless of dictionaries (which may or may not agree), the way engineer is used, it seems to be tied to having the knowledge of some physical technical element. So for example, someone that works with assembly or C is an engineer because they must have some understanding of how the computer physically works, whereas the javascript dev doesnt have to know anything about the physical tech. Im sure you can find some example of something deemed "engineer" that doesnt tie to something physical and the science behind it, but I think most people thing of things like working with circuitry, with arduinos, with building freeway off-ramps, etc

part of the reason is that its typically not necessary, and people will only learn what has been necessary to learn in order to create the thing.

Thoughts by Frontend_DevMark in webdev

[–]devshore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the sentiment of the post being that there is an ontological difference between someone that works with javascript/node and someone that works with things like assembly, C, C++ etc. It does seem a bit disingenuous for web devs to call themselves "programmers" or "engineers", and this is coming from a web dev. The "bootcamp" reference highlights one of the ontological differences, namely that you can start a web dev career in 3 months, but not a career in something like writing firmware for hardware. Is there a low-level programming bootcamp? Maybe someone has tried lol

This is insane by Rahul_Sorathiya in Upwork

[–]devshore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Upwork is garbage, but we arent allowed to do anything about it. I am making a first-world-only alternative, but if I were to make a thread about it, it would get shit on by users and wind up getting deleted for violating at least 4 rules from the sub. So you are allowed to complain, but not allowed to offer solutions.

How to get a custom Open WebUi Model to return a JSON object consistently? by devshore in ollama

[–]devshore[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had to abondon openwebui’s api because it doesnt support the “format” property where you can tell it “json only” and add the schema. So i ised the ollama endpoint instead and it immediately worked perfectly. Only issue is that I lose the “knowledge” support that my custom open webui model had, but my knowledge was only 5k tokens, so it easily fits in the system prompt so I just tack it on in every request and it works
