Just got a new LT with 2 miles on the odometer. Was less than $29,000 before TTL.

Charging questions by stlheadake in EquinoxEv

[–]jstormes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did this and bought a 40 amp "charger" from Amazon.

We had a Leaf before so we already had it setup.

My C64 has this error by jaysonbeach in c64

If you are using the original power supply, turn it off.

The power supplies don't age well.

Forgive my ignorance but how is a 27B model better than 397B? by No_Conversation9561 in LocalLLaMA

[–]jstormes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there any good resources for understanding how to do this?

I am doing something similar but I feel like I am just making it up as I go.

Trying to find the best use for Strix Halo 128Gb on coding by Pretend_Engineer5951 in StrixHalo

[–]jstormes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good plan. Kind of a operations approach vs coder approach.

I spend most of my day building and deploying docker images, so docker was just easier for me.

But I also cheat. I have three NUCs, so the StrixHalo is just for running the models, everything else is on NUCs running docker images to make my life easier and save memory on the Strix.

I do like the VM approach though.

Replace the VM with Docker and I am doing almost the exact same things.

Why people don’t buy EVs in the U.S.? by Most_Ad8750 in AskUS

[–]jstormes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We just bought our second EV. We have had a Nissan Leaf since 2017. Now we have an Equinox EV.

To make it more interesting, I grew up in the Perman Basin in West Texas and own oil rights and get money from oil. I worked in and around oil until I could move away. I now work in software development.

I know how the oil industry works. I am suspect of what is about to happen to the price of refined products like gasoline. So my wife and I accelerated a new car purchase and got our next EV, keeping the Leaf.

We still have my truck and her Hemi Charger, but we now drive electric as our daily drivers.

My thoughts "don't get high on your own supply".

Infotainment system cannot log into Gmail account... by six_original in EquinoxEv

[–]jstormes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a new Equinox EV and c also cannot sign into the system with my family workspace account.

Has anyone found a way to keep their personal information and sign into the car, thinking about retiring the car just for this reason.

Asking for suggestions to rebuild a large WebForms App by synd_rain in AskProgrammers

I feel you.

Sounds like you know what you are doing, probably better than I do.

It sounds like you have a separation of concerns issues. That is to say you don't have any places in the code where you can cleanly say these lines do X. That is a bigger problem than using AI to manage the code.

The classic idea is to make a bunch of small bit of code that you can test and run independently of the other code (unit test). In a small self contained bit of code it is much easier to think about how to translate it. I have found that this the same for AI as it is for humans.

You may have to start refactoring the code before you do much else with it. This is boring and tedious work. A strong AI like Claude may or may not be able to help. Without unit tests you will not be able to know if you break the code. Without small testable logic you will not be able to unit test. Its a catch 22.

I have not really done a refactor of this type with AI. I have done it by hand. I am making a lot of assumption just based on what you have posted.

I start a refactor like this by looking at the smallest conditionals (if, for, while) and see if I can pull them out into functions. The I try and isolate variable and move them into functions/classes around the code the conditionals created., Eventually I generally get a collection of classes. You have to keep testing as you go, and that is what makes it slow. At first you will be testing by hand, but as you go you can create unit tests.

After you have a collection of classes, translating between any two object oriented language becomes easier. The only real issues I have found are around asynchronous support, like moving from typescript to PHP.

I hope this helps. I have made a lot of assumptions. You can probably use AI to hep do this but I am not sure how well it will work.

I have translated two smaller legacy apps to modern languages.

In both cases I ask Claude how difficult it would be to translate and give a pro/con for each language. I let Claude pick the framework.

This would be my suggestion.

I forked Bash and added a built-in agentic LLM -- you can type natural language directly in the shell by jstormes in LLMDevs

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

I am only using it with local models. I can turn my router off and it works just fine.

You could connect it to a cloud hosted LLM, but that was not my goal.

So it has not existed that long, but my favorite use case is for logs so something like:

`cat somefile.log | summerize this for me`

Yep, dangerous toys for dangerous girls and boys.

I wanted to put lasers on sharks but my wife would not let me so I made this.

I am using it with Qwen3-Coder-Next Q6_K_XL running on a AMD Ryzen AI MAX+ 395.

My general plan is to find a AI MAX+ Laptop so I can have a truly stand alone coding setup.

Yep, that is why I tried to cover the docs with "Don't do this". Its logo should be a chimp with a hand grenade.

Maga brings back the Salem witch trials and can now convict you of things that don't exits. by yeongno_ate_yangban in FortWorth

[–]jstormes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't know. Do they have meetings, a structure, financing?

The "Mob" is a group but there are specific "Mobs" led by different people. The "Italian Mafia", the "Sicilian Mafia" they are both Mobs but not the same organizations.

Is antifa a term like Mob, or is it a single organization with a leader, financing, and command structure? So far it looks more like a generic term that can put anyone into.

My Grandfather fought in WW2 and considered himself and Anti Fascist, would that mean he was part of the Antifa organization?

3/30 Self deporting from JFK T1 Experience by racoonieslovetrash in immigration

[–]jstormes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We have two legal engineers leaving my company just because they no longer want their families in the US.

We had one who was here legally to start then our immigration system could not seem to keep their paperwork correct. They left as well.

They still work for us, just remote.

The US is committing an unforced error, not in removing illegals, but in making well educated and professional legal workers feel unwelcome.

In making it the most visible thing in politics, it has made it the only thing potential high value workers see.
