  • 32GB of DDR5 now costs $375 minimum — AI shortage continues to squeeze PC building

    Jump

  • I bought 5 of these last September at $99 each https://ebay.us/m/x9d0kn. When I did some searching about a month ago, I found a couple for around $150 of the same model. So I paid less initially than I thought.

  • I've been putting 12tb used SAS drives in my Plex server. The used market went up about 30% from last year for the same drives. I think I paid $115 each before, now they're $150.

  • You have the right to think whatever you want. You have the right to say almost anything you want. You lose that right when those actions start hurting others.

    Your's is just a dumbass response to be edgy. Go touch grass.

  • Angry devs vow to flee GitHub Copilot as metered billing takes hold

    Jump

  • I haven't. They just went live on the new model yesterday. When I read the release, it said there will be tools to monitor all of that. Whether that means they exist and I don't know or they're going to release them late and half finished in typical MS fashion is unknown to me.

    I had talks with my lead and manager so they are aware. I have strong doubts that has been related to the people that need to monitor that. The company has been trying to push AI adoption for the past year, and we all hate it, so I'm not going to go out of my way to stop them from stepping on their own dicks. Hopefully a stacked unexpected bill would convince stakeholders to sit back and listen to those of us in the know. It won't, but I've got my popcorn ready.

  • Angry devs vow to flee GitHub Copilot as metered billing takes hold

  • I've been preaching this for the past couple of years. Everything up until now has been entirely about gaining market share, and AI will never be cheaper than it is right now, and it's not cheap.

    Just look at the "earnings" for companies like openAI. They are 1000+% in the red. It's impossible for them to change their sales model enough to make that profitable. As more data centers go up, the operating costs are also going to go up.

    I've been telling people that now is the best time in the past decade or more to learn how to code. There will be positions available in the coming years when the only junior devs available are vibe coders.

  • We don't have any power users so I think we're going to be fine for now. I do believe that by default all of your company credits are pooled, so one person could use everyone's in theory. I thought I read that can be changed.

    I've asked 3 questions to Claude today because I was struggling with an error. I'm curious to see how many credits I used to end up not using any of the generated code.

  • At my company, all of us devs have GitHub copilot enterprise licenses, which was $39/month for basically unlimited use on most models. The new pricing is the same price except we get 3900 copilot credits a month. 1 credit is 1000 tokens. There is nothing concrete about how many tokens are used, but they estimate powerful models like Claude will use about 10 credits per transaction. The more basic models are less consumption, but still count. Code completion is still unlimited. It's going to get really expensive really fast for companies balls deep in it.

    For token context, we had someone come in and give us an hour long vibe coding lesson with Claude code.he created a basic 600 line app in that hour and consumed 40000 tokens. I have UI tests with twice as many lines of code. It's going to be a blood bath, and I'm here for it.

  • Russia Can No Longer Take More Land Than Ukraine Liberates, Zelenskyy Says

    Jump

  • I explicitly stated that he does represent the US, but that many of us didn't vote for him or support him. Both can be and are true. We don't want a war in Iran, but as you've pointed out, Trump was democratically elected, and there are processes to stop the war. Unfortunately, it's not anything we can kick off as citizens.

    There are protests, but when your healthcare and that of your family is tied to your employment, missing work to protest is a good way to not have a job, income, or healthcare. It's not a simple as, "make change happen".

    Generalizing an entire population is a weak and shitty argument. You can do it if you want, but it just makes you look narrow minded and out of touch with how the world actually works.

    The whole point is that the entire US doesn't want a war with Iran and most don't, even those that voted for Trump in hindsight don't want it. They fucked us and got the country to this point, but war with Iran isn't a popular opinion regardless of past actions.

  • This may come as a shock to you, but he wasn't unanimously voted in as president. There are tens of millions of us that actively voted against him. Those that did and do support him can't pretend like this isn't the consequences of their actions, but the rest of us sure as shit can.

    Even among the traitors and idiots that did vote for him, even the majority of those don't agree with his war in Iran.

    Have you have lived somewhere where you didn't agree with your democratically elected official? It's possible to be critical of that person's actions and not be culpable for them.

    Unfortunately, you are correct that he does represent the US, and that's damage that will probably outlast my lifetime, but representation doesn't mean reflection, and his actions don't reflect the majority opinion in the US right now.

  • For this particular post, I don't know that there needs to be a problem to get a response. OP could have just left out all of the back story and asked for new last name ideas. I think the story just adds a little context for the sake of conversation and to help scope potential reaponses. If it is for anonymity, just go with Smith.

  • “The focus is on products that completely replicate the exact body design”: Fender is finally speaking out on its cease-and-desist strategy.

  • That's an option, but then people would see me with a Fender. It's like buying a used Tesla. Yea, musk didn't get my dollars, but I can still be seen driving a Tesla.

    I do already have a mid range squire p bass that I've upgraded, and a Fender acoustic bass. None of my 6 or 7 string guitars are Fender. There are a lot of solid manufacturers out there that I can support and be more than thrilled with the product. I've always wanted to try my hand at building and electric, and maybe now I'll make an S shape fender style out of spite.

  • Fed up with vibe coders, dev sneaks data-nuking prompt injection into their code - Ars Technica

  • I love everything about this, other than the people butthurt that their free software doesn't like AI. I'll give the smallest amount of criticism that it was obfuscated initially, because that's just malware even if I think it's justified. By clearly stating what it does, then the onus is on the user to audit the code and modify as needed. I would love to see more of this type of action to become standard practice, but just deleting the test suite isn't quite painful enough for what I'd like to see.

  • Mystery company accidentally blew $500 million on Claude in a single month — failed to put usage limit on licenses for employees

    Jump

  • I created a PoC to have an event parse an employees emails, summarize them, then check the calendar and recommend meetings and follow up based on context. It ended up working okay, but it was such a waste of time. This was a C Suite employee that requested, who gets a high volume of junk email. Why would you want AI to (initially requested) auto create meetings for you? That sounds like my nightmare. In the end, it never hit prod thankfully, but, the dev work to get to where I did was awful. Developing AI agents is like guessing and checking until you get close enough. Debugging is brutal and the work is extremely uninspiring.

  • I was put in a position to start building and deploying copilot agents in our company. I discovered in the first day how unprepared our environment was for anything copilot. The default state when you get licenses and an environment to work in, is the wild west. It's really bad and as is tradition, half cocked and rushed to market. I wrote out pages of notes of things we had to do as a company before even the most simple agents are created for security and governance. I never got the support to implement any changes, so I drug my feet as much as I could on anything I could. For 6 months I successfully never deployed any AI stuff and got out to do full stack dev instead. I created PoC agents, but with hard caveats that none of it was usable in the current state in prod.

    Now prices are increasing and our drive to force agentic has softened a little company wide. I like to think that my semi malicious yet justified slow walking saved us a whole shit load of headache and expenses over the next couple of months as the new copilot pricing hits on June 1.

  • Majority of Android users aren't sold on Gemini Intelligence, survey reveals

  • Trolls gonna troll. This here is what we call a false equivalency. Paying to have a person use their skills to complete a complex technical task with liability is far different from using an environment destroying, unreliable and insecure technology that carries no liability to do a worse job. One funds a person that will circulate that income, the other goes to a mega Corp where a billionaire will sleep on that money like an IRL Smaug.

  • I have an Australian cattle dog with a biting problem.

    Jump

  • We had a rescue rottie that was aggressive when we got him. It took years but through controlled exposure to new people, some professional training, and just working through different situations, we got to the point that I was never concerned about him hurting any guests. Maybe he would body a small child because of his size, but never bite.

    We currently have a personal trainer coming to help with our husky/pit/German shepherd rescue. She's a great girl and unless you're a rabbit, would never hurt you, but she's very reactive on walks and when people walk by with their dogs. It's helping a bit, but it's a marathon, not a sprint.

    So my anecdotal advice is to get a private trainer with recommendations and good reviews. Your vet may be able to guide you to someone or perhaps a local shelter or doggy daycare place. My wife volunteers at one of our local shelters and she found someone through networking there who also volunteers her training at said shelter.

    In the interim, keep the dog separated from your daughter. Any way you can associate your daughter as a positive thing for your dog is good. Positive reinforcement is king
