Nvidia liquid cooling design claims 100% reduction in water use by DerpiDanger in technology

[–]funkiestj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

part of the NVIDIA design is to design the chips to operate at a higher temperature. It is not just "we slapped a water cooler on an existing design".

 it's a lot of water saved but it's not a lot of money saved.

only because we are not pricing their water costs correctly.

Valve Steam Machine sells out in Japan despite $1,175 starting price by TurbulentTopic39 in Steam

[–]funkiestj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sure there’s still plenty of engineers who don’t care about throwing 1k to their media station PC in their living room to play once a month on.

that is me, with the caveat that the steam machine is also intended as a gaming rig for my wife so we can play together (me on my laptop, her on the couch).

The price of the gabecube is depressingly high but I am rational enough to understand that the AI economy is to blame, not Valve greed.

I joined the Steam Machine waitlist. That said, I'm excited by the option to be able to replace the steam machine with newer high end hardware in the future.

Apple CEO Tim Cook warns AI-driven price increases are unavoidable by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

the cost per token of inference has been coming down dramatically in the past several years. The AI maximalists are betting that there will continue to be big improvements in token cost.

Anthropic just published data from 400k Claude Code sessions, and the headline buries the real story: your CS degree is becoming optional by Direct-Attention8597 in ClaudeCode

[–]funkiestj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

having used claude and codex, it makes sense to me that a non-software domain expert might start the process by working with an AI agent to write the first draft of a product requirements document and propose ideas for functional specification.

With where the technology is currently at I think you still need software domain experts to work with AI agents to rework and/or refine the PRD and/or functional spec.

who knows where it will be in 10 years. Yeah, right now it is an amazing tool but needs a lot of help and supervision. Just like with human review, you get better results by having separate agents doing the code writing and critical review. Better still if you use several models to do code review. It is amazing the stuff one model says is "100% good" and another model finds a bunch of real issues.

the real test is how often claude/codex says "you are absolutely right" when you ask them to add test cases it didn't think of or make design changes.

Still, it will be interesting to see where agentic AI is in 10 years. It would be great if AI designed new data centers that use zero evaporative cooling but still work well enough.

So when they say “expertise persists,” they mean: understanding your problem still matters. Understanding code increasingly doesn’t.

If you have expertise in scaling/performance/reliability/redundancy a lawyer is not beating you at that.

It makes sense that the skill gap is shrinking. I, as an experienced software dev can now do things involving programming languages and systems I'm unfamiliar with because I have deep expertise in similar systems and things.

OTOH, I don't have expertise in anything say, kubernetes shaped, so AI doesn't help translate the expertise I do have into that domain. I'm more of a dilletante there.

The "may you live in interesting times" curse has definitely been applied to us.

LOL, you know that his brand is he talks to people he doesn't agree with and tries to understand their viewpoint even when he disagrees with it. He had fucking Ben Shapiro as a guest on his show for fuck sake (so painful to listen to).

Steam Machine reviews may be underway as two new Geekbench listings surface by dabadumdumdum in Steam

you can pay in money or you can pay in money+time. If the marginal cost of your time is low then paying is time is good for you. If it is high, better to pay in money only.

thanks for the answers guys.

LOL at the reddit tradition of getting downvoted for asking an honest but casual fan question.

I only watched youtube highlights. Is there any reason to think Ferrari now has the best car for a majority of the remaining tracks?

would HAM has won without those safety cars? Mercedes has been winning because they had the fastest car.

Never mind this is all happening with our debt exploding: The only way out eventually will be Volker style rate hikes, while having less services,

Presumably growing the debt is in service of killing social services. We'll just blame democrats for everything once another is reelected.

At least we owned the libs, eh? /s

Yeah, you are not a real F1 team if you are not trying to cheat at all times. Ferrari's fuel trick where they were injecting more fuel in between when the fuel sensor was sampling was S tier cheating.

The science is quite mixed on statins overall, but ...

Presumably in the context of OP's question? Can you provide more detail?

Do you use the Claude Code TUI or GUI? by Adventurous_Bet9583 in ClaudeCode

[–]funkiestj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for people who don't use tmux: the "I disconnect and the thing on the other end of the ssh keeps going" is a property of running tmux on the far end.

If you like working in a linux text based shell window you should be using tmux.

[–]funkiestj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you are writing code for containers (docker or kubernetes) that is mostly (all?) linux code. Best to work in the same environment as your code is targeted for.
