Interesting perspective. I toyed with rust a bit from the perspective of a c# background (and a bit of java, php, classic asp, JavaScript, typescript, etc) . I like rust, but I've come to still prefer c#'s object…
I have backup cards. If one gets stolen, I can switch to a backup card instantly. If my phone is lost, then apparently I need to buy another one with the...phone I don't have? A single point of failure is horrible…
Strawman, but you raise a good point. Credit card terminals can still work in certain disaster situations more reliably than trying to get everyone to not lose their phones and keeping them charged and wasting precious…
No, but it shows up in the bill just like everything else. Cost of doing business
What happens if you don't have a phone that supports the App, or if you forgot your phone or lost it (aka stolen)? How are you allowed to function if the App is missing?
If you use it, that's great. If you don't use the gift card, then cash is obviously better
Well, in my state, you don't "apply" for a gun like you apply for a license. It is just document that you purchased it after the seller runs a background check. The government isn't attesting to your capabilities - that…
Corruption has been rampant under multiple administrations. I actually had hoped Trump might root out more corruption in his 2nd term, but two things happened: Congress wouldn't go afraid the corruption that was being…
I still run with u matrix though, and most third party requests can be limited, but I no longer have enough patience when a required page doesn't work - I'll just rely on ublock origin to work.
Right now, at least, I haven't found an AI capable of replacing a software engineer. Ive seen AI that can easily replace basic programmers, however. I also think AI can replace non-coding artitects, and probably most…
I use comments for external domain constraints (e.g. this table has three types of records in them that we use for different purposes - I might have the LLM agent be a bit thorough and clearer with the explanation, but…
I think MAGA would be okay with the...fly over provinces..is that what they would be called? The rest is too woke, too British, and too CCP oriented to work with.
Buy a card. Run your own. It'll be some time to optimize it, but an AMD R9700 is one of the cheapest by $/vram. Sadly, its been increasing in price slowly, and there seems to be some inventory issues, but I've switched…
Well, they also need to ensure they aren't spending past their premiums coming in... Alot of insurers the past few years have actually gone bankrupt from ballooning costs and claims. So, they want costs to go up, so the…
It's even worse when they claim to be "in-network" and they make you sign that. To me, the entire point of being in network is I shouldn't have to worry about the provider filing claims correctly on my behalf, and if…
Insurers can only spend 15% of premiums on admin spend (e.g. salaries, etc). That means if the CEO (and everyone else) wants more money, they need to pay more money to the hospitals, so their 15% cut grows. Also, for…
Welcome to the world of trade offs. I also want a half decent camera. When I switched from. a Google Pixel to a Samsung s20+ to keep a headphone jack, the camera got worse, even though the pixel was at least half a…
My understanding is the last consumer card that supported that was the 3090. A Google search seems to agree the 5090 does NOT support NVLink...
This must be the new linked in strat. What I learned about using the best model after talking to a homeless person.
So you buy their sugary crap to hide the shit coffee. Pumpkin spice lattes.
That's me. I've just moved the puzzle to figuring out the CC optimal "language" and mode of working with an LLM. At the same time, I haven't lost my love/expertise... Yet. I explained it yesterday that it's no different…
I have issues with the vulkan backend. It seems to cause over all GUI sluggishness, but maybe that was actually Firefox. I'll give it another go.
An AMD R9700 gets 20-50 TPS at ~300 watts on 27B. 100 TPS for the 35B MOE model. And there might be some more optimizations to that as AMD software support gets better with ROCm's latest versions.
Is two generations ago before 2020? Everything is 100% more expensive than pre-2020 prices. Eating out is there. Power Tools are there. Land is beyond that and Housing has been there for 6 years now. I'm not surprised.…
I've never purchased rental insurance from a landlord or their recommended place. I used my insurance company I already had.
