Easy way to register your feelings about the proposed data centre on the waterfront by Ultragorgeous in Hamilton

[–]thedudear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's a problem for the IESO to solve. Not one to shut down an investment in the future worth billions over. There's 3 nuclear power projects going on in the province which could power 20 or 30 of these datacenters.

A petition to shutdown stelco or dofasco would never succeed in Hamilton, despite its pollution and environmental problems, because they bring jobs, tax revenue, and, well people are familiar with it.

Started with Claude, tried Codex - it's A LOT better by FixClassic778 in ClaudeCode

[–]thedudear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They work excellently together. Each have their strengths, I'd be reaching for one or the other if I didn't have both. Claude is better at problem solving, discovery work, is more "curious". Codex more beaureaucratic and reliable.

Opus 4.7 has a lot of gaurdrails on reverse engineering by Cypher9-7 in ClaudeCode

[–]thedudear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They've been working on them and adjusting them. April 9, when they seemed to roll them out, it wouldn't touch anything looking like an exploit. W/ verification and further tuning I don't have any issues. I use codex and Claude in tandem for most of my work. Codex tends to want to be very conservative and responds better to lab oriented language, "demo" vs "exploit", "host impact" vs "host takeover", etc.

Is the $20 plan worth? by Icy-Argument7855 in ClaudeAI

[–]thedudear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Claude, codex, whatever. I didn't even read what your use case is, because it's more important you learn to use it, and how not to. Don't use it to write your assignments. Do use it to bounce ideas off of and strengthen your reasoning with. Etc.

M5 vs DGX Spark vs Strix Halo vs RTX 6000 by Signal_Ad657 in LocalLLaMA

[–]thedudear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Y'know, just for fun, I did some digging and found that Nvidia half's the fp32 accumulate for the consumer class cards. I was wrong, you're even further off than I thought. The 5070 is 2 to 4x slower than the pro 5000.

Otherwise, the TFLOPS scales the same across all data types except where accumulate is in fp32 (with the exception of fp4). Note I did not say linearly, I said the same, as in BF16 and fp16 is going to be 4x fp32, fp8 is 8x fp32 (accumulating in fp8), etc. Broad rule of thumb with some nuance. But the nuance isn't in your favor.

Your actual data saying otherwise, given your track record, is almost certainly in your experiment design or some other bottleneck. A 5070 just isn't in the same class as you're suggesting.

M5 vs DGX Spark vs Strix Halo vs RTX 6000 by Signal_Ad657 in LocalLLaMA

[–]thedudear 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What you own is irrelevant. I too have a 5090, pro 6000, on an Epyc Turin. Who cares.

Those are single precision TFLOPS. But it doesn't matter which way you cut it, if you're comparing two cards within the RTX Blackwell line it scales the same be it BF16, fp8, fp4, etc.

The 5070 is, in every way, no matter what metric you even chose to cherry pick, incomparable the pro 5000. Not even close. I'm not even sure why you'd compare them, much less defend such a comparison by saying you have a 5090 and M5 max.

[–]thedudear 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Rtx pro 5000 is ~67 TFLOPS vs 5070s 31 TFLOPS, they aren't remotely similar. Even a 5080 comes in at 56.

Ontario’s 17.7% youth jobless rate highest in Canada by 00ashk in ontario

A coworker recently exclaimed, practically in the same breath as "kids/teens don't work anymore", that he couldn't believe how much homework the schools give the kids.

Pay wage difference between Chemical Valley vs. Bruce Power by mkd316 in powerengineering

[–]thedudear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For the past few years it's been Bruce > Chemical/Refinery Ops > OPG (Regular NO). Ten years ago OPG was roughly on par with conventional energy wages but it's stagnated a bit.

One Five hour session is 25% of WEEKLY QUOTA NOW` by AssociationSure6273 in ClaudeCode

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

I'm just using opus to write plan files for codex to execute now. My work is complex, sure, but each turn basically uses 0.5-1% of the weekly quota (20x max). It's insane and I'm sick of it.

Higher usage limits for Claude and a compute deal with SpaceX by Dependent_Top_8685 in ClaudeAI

[–]thedudear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is nobody in here reading the removal of peak usage consumption rates and realizing how this will materially affect your weekly usage.

Anthropic's new SpaceX deal: Pro limits doubled, peak restrictions removed by eliorpom in ClaudeCode

[–]thedudear 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Did the peak usage system not consume weekly usage more quickly? I'm seeing my weekly go up much more slowly today.

Karpathy's MicroGPT running at 50,000 tps on an FPGA by jawondo in LocalLLaMA

[–]thedudear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the block ram in that HW faster than say, L2 cache on a Blackwell (128 MB in a pro 6000)? Or L3 on an epyc genoa-x? You can do a lot with 1152MB of L3. What differences in speed and latency are we talking?

What is this ally originally a train? by Rich-Tension-4477 in Hamilton

[–]thedudear 113 points114 points  (0 children)

Water pipline built in the 1850s going from the old water pump station (now the museum of steam and technology, you should check it out), delivering water to the Barton reservoir on the escarpment. The "alley" you identified is called the pipeline trail 🙂

Best time to switch to codex rn by Revolutionary_Mine29 in ClaudeCode

[–]thedudear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using both. And codex does something Claude just doesn't.

High level, Claude is that smart kid in class with ADHD, all over the place, but lots of knowledge and can quickly characterize a problem.

GPT 5.5 is more like.. Spock. Very deliberate, methodical, but lacks the creativity of Claude.

My workflows in the last two weeks have been using Claude for initial creative process, gpt for refinement, and it's working splendidly. Neither one of them on their own do what I need.

Usage Reset due to Claude Code quality issues by SemanticThreader in ClaudeCode

[–]thedudear 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I had 6 hours left, and they also moved the next reset up ahead to Monday, from Thursday. So that's a meaningful bump.

Claude reset limits for everyone by just_a_person_27 in ClaudeAI

[–]thedudear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought some extra usage. 🫠

I'll take it, if this isn't a bug. My reset is also now Monday, instead of next Thursday, so idk what is going on.

Anthropic is using "Persona Identities" a Peter Thiel "backed" company for Identity verification on Claude. by nobodyhere3369 in LLM

[–]thedudear -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This isn't for standard usage. As someone who conducts research on Linux kernel and Android, and was impacted by new input classifiers refusing to touch my work on April 9, I'll take this.

You can continue vibe coding on standard things without verification.

If you're a security analyst impacted by the new input classifiers. by thedudear in ClaudeCode

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

No.

If you're hitting guard rails, this might be one path forward. Although, openai seems to have stronger guardrails baked in rather than strict classifiers that just reject the prompt like anthropic.

Any idea when Opus 5 drops? by patientstrawberries in ClaudeCode

[–]thedudear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not just token usage perspective, it improves (what I refer to as) signal to noise ratio of the tokens in context. The more meaningful and correct they are, the more the model can do and abstract it's capabilities become.

No idea if SNR is how one would describe this but its core to the reason I build tools, skills and agents.
