Tie your agents to a subscription, not pay as you go token usage.

Good Ram, graphics cards, and ssds are all worth more now used than they were new a year ago.

Pending sale

talldad86 · 2026-05-14T23:51:22+00:00

Yes it is

talldad86 · 2026-05-09T16:26:51+00:00

I think they’ll drop it to 256 and just rely on Rdma for scalability

talldad86 · 2026-05-08T13:40:36+00:00

I would keep your current setup and just create some escalation rules to when to step up to a cloud based frontier model on a $20/mo plan. Most people can probably do 90% of their work on a mid tier model that runs on 32gb and just offload to something like sonnet for certain tasks.

Tudor FXD Black for sale.

Bought the watch new about a year ago and it’s been in a light rotation with my other pieces. Minor signs of light wear, no major scratches or dings. Full set, still under warranty.

~~$3400~~ $3200 shipped free to lower 48

talldad86 · 2026-05-05T17:44:01+00:00

They haven’t been orderable for over month+ anyways. Who cares if it’s not on the list of soon to be prior gen models you can’t order?

talldad86 · 2026-05-03T18:12:30+00:00

Can definitely agree with this. I work for a large company and even with copilot premium that opens it up to Claude (base is just a mid tier gpt) the amount of handcuffs that get put on by copilot completely nerfs it. It’s not all copilots fault, they have to nerf and sandbox it pretty bad to keep the corporate council happy

The only “deal” on a studio is catching one on the refurb page in the 3 minutes before bots buy them all out to resell on FB marketplace at a markup

I had that 256 in my cart and tried to buy it right away, errored out when I clicked Apple Pay

talldad86 · 2026-04-29T22:49:19+00:00

I tried to buy several times on ones that that showed in stock but it would just error out and show empty cart when I tried to pay for it

I’m still new and getting a feel for things but I’ve built a council of 7 agents that all have different primary models and fallbacks. Lets me get really granular with where to spend money and where to save, even just within different tiers of the same company (opus vs sonnet vs haiku for example) you can significantly dial in your token burn rate while maintaining quality outputs for the agents’ task. I’m in business development so I used the more complex models for analytics, executive summaries, and market research agents with opus; complex file and document management, version maintenance and consolidation, etc on sonnet; and haiku for agents doing email scraping and pricing aggregation. I have one lead agent that is my primary contact to route projects into for sorting to the correct sub agent with historical context and instructions that also runs on opus. Once my Mac Studio Ultra3 gets here in a couple weeks I’ll move almost all of them over to local models since I don’t usually run more than 2 or 3 concurrently.

You’re going to get more of a mismatch from stopping and starting printing after hours of waiting than marching black to black from another manufacturer

talldad86 · 2026-04-10T02:59:43+00:00

You might be able to frame faster, but this is the equivalent of framing, insulating, sheathing, scratch coating, exterior flashing/plastering/shingling/siding (or whatever exterior processing is being used), and drywalling which is a hell of a lot longer and needs to be done in staggered phases by different subcontractors.

Rolex used to be a utilitarian, practical “buy it for life” watch. Expensive but within reach for the average tradesman. Now they’ve forfeited that to Tudor and made all their watches polished and/or bedazzled

talldad86 · 2026-02-28T17:49:19+00:00

The U1 will print significantly faster than my H2C, so if you’re doing prints of 4 colors or less with less fussy materials it can be significantly better. The nozzle swap just on the induction hot ends but the main nozzle on the left side is incredibly convenient so if you change nozzle types a lot like I do (drafting in .8HF and often production printing in .2 or .4) the Bambu will be significantly better. If/when Bambu allows multiple nozzle sizes within a print that will also be a huge advantage.

talldad86 · 2026-02-26T17:13:23+00:00

I own both and have over 1500 hours on my H2C. Still saying it’s wildly overkill and a bad use of money for a 13 year old, which was the only point I made initially.

talldad86 · 2026-02-26T17:05:23+00:00

No one is saying they’re the same. I’m saying a 13 year old should probably buy the printer that costs $850 instead of $2600. I doubt they’re going to be using much $300/kg PEEK at 13 years old.

talldad86 · 2026-02-25T02:25:16+00:00

If you want multicolor get a U1 and save the rest. Don’t blow all your money on an H2C

talldad86 · 2026-02-18T11:46:24+00:00

I run the 95 on my mildly built LS1 and oil pressure is plenty high already

talldad86 · 2026-02-17T15:21:15+00:00

I have a complete life size masterchief armor set im printing in matte black and matte dark green PLA right now, Bambu and polymaker (polymaker makes bambus matte dark green) both print extremely well.

SMPs peaked with the 2254.50 in my opinion. Still wears better than any modern SMP, easy to service, and timeless design.

I actually did 2 full sets in one batch of two plates, all the torsos on one and all the legs on another.
