I agree with Linus. It happened fast. And this is especially true for the paid models available that were launched within the last 3-4 months.

AI is a tool, just like other tools we use. And it's clearly a useful one.

It may not have been that "clearly" even just a year ago, but it's no longer in question today.

It's not coming from any of your devices.

I imagine Valve Software wanted to release the Steam Machine for $549-$699. The great RAM hoarding of 2025-2026 killed this product on arrival sadly.

They already have your face.

Didn't know that the trip we took there a few years ago was one of the last to see UK just chillin'

Now we have democracy manipulation spearheaded by AI bot manipulation of their very own citizenry. Not limited to UK, USA is deep in it too.

You guys didn't unsubscribe and request a refund from claude last week?

If you think about it, they're splitting the power across millions of users. Essentially, these AI companies have YOUR hardware that YOU are paying (them) for in a cabinet at some data center. This means the hardware could easily be run locally for inference for these 'big' models. It's just a problem of dynamics-- RAM is being bought in bulk by these companies through these B200 style cards, instead of sold slowly through the open public markets.

This is likely due to a combination of mass funding for the AI companies, but also they are trying to governmentally restrict which countries get access to these cards so certain countries get a head start. The only way to lock that down is to have them literally locked in their own GPU prisons (data centers). Third reason is it does make it possible to train the models faster by having them in the same data center connected directly. Having them distributed to everyone would slow down training considerably.

The current way to 'own' decent RAM and GPUs right now is through the stock market it seems.

The main thing that sucks with Claude is the extremely low limits before you get fail2banned for 6 hours. I'm out. Refund requested. Grok and Gemini Pro are way better with the throttling, can't comment on ChatGPT, haven't used that for a year.

Recent year or two LibreOffice has improved greatly as far as the UX goes and I haven't had to use Word/Excel in decades. When I have to use it for work I use the online app and office online apps are also garbage, especially compared to Google Docs / Sheets stability and performance.

You didn't start using libreoffice.org like 15 years ago?

These laws just complicate things, make it more expensive to run a game company and these government people don't get it. This will just result in making it more expensive to make games and keep them running. On top of that, it incentivises subscription based games.

'it excludes games provided via subscription services, free-to-play games, and games that are inherently playable offline indefinitely. It also prohibits the continued sale or distribution of games that have become unusable due to service termination.'

The only winners are lawyers. NOT gamers. The lawyers always like to call their laws "protect X" lol

What about map applications which manipulate the history to store the position of the map as users drag and release to make back and forward work to the users expectation in a single page app? It’s not malicious, but will Google flag it?

Did they mount my Canon 7D to the outside? :D reminds me of the familiar grain haha

The biggest problem I have with DLSS 5 is how it completely upends and ruins the dynamic lighting that the developers spend a huge amount of time perfecting to set the perfect mood for the scene.

Back in the day people were all about languages like C that made it incredibly easy too.

Instead of "should have been an email" this is "should have been a prompt" and can be run locally instead. There are a number of ways to do this from a linux terminal.

``` write a custom crawler that will crawl every page on a site (internal links to the original domain only, scroll down to mimic a human, and save the output as a WebP screenshot, HTML, Markdown, and structured JSON. Make it designed to run locally in a terminal on a linux machine using headless Google Chrome and take advantage of multiple cores to run multiple pages simultaneously while keeping in mind that it might have to throttle if the server gets hit too fast from the same IP. ```

Might use available open source software such as python, playwright, beautifulsoup4, pillow, aiofiles, trafilatura

Pretty sure we've seen people coding in essentially every other programming language also shoot themselves in the foot.

PHP is insanely great, and very fast. The hate has no clout.

Agents are language agnostic actually, I think "best" this "best" that is a little overboard.

Yikes, these government folks just sign without even thinking or having a single clue about how the rule will work. They are completely irresponsible.

It's insanely dangerous to have so much data stored on so many servers that are inevitably not maintained.

Nah, do you honestly think the thousands of sub-packages in your project are actually being maintained? False sense of security there.

You're misunderstanding how websites work. You can install it locally on your computer and run it via localhost https://github.com/GridSpace/grid-apps

They don't get a free pass, I think people have spoken with their wallets and it shows with the user base counts: Windows 66–73%, macOS 14–16%, Linux 3–4%.

Apple seems to support their previous generation OS on older macs for ~8-9 years or so from what I've seen. You just don't get the latest generation features, they cut it off and move on similar to how Microsoft did.

I actually haven't come across situation 1 2 or 3 mentioned in the attached video. Generally I iterate on the code by starting a new prompt with the code provided, with enhancements, or provide the errors and it repairs the errors. Generally it gets it within 1-2 iterations. No emotions. Make sure your prompts do not contain fluff, and are straight what you want the code to accomplish and how you want it to accomplish it. I've gone back to code months later and have not had what you described as being shocked about bad code, it was quite easy to understand. Are you prompting the AI to also write variables and function names logically and utilize a common coding standard for whichever type of code you are having it write, such as wordpress coding standards or similar? Perhaps claude isn't the best, I have been experimenting with grok 4.1 thinking and grok expert at the mid-level paid tier. I'll take it a step further and adjust the code myself, start a new prompt and provide that updated code along with my further requests as well. I haven't hit the road blocks mentioned.

This is what happens when you make all the h100/h200/equivalent cards exclusive and lock them up in warehouses. We have no way of running these models locally… yet. Keyword is yet, the exclusivity period is going to end just like it did for 3D graphics when 3DFX democratized it with the voodoo cards. They’re only 300gb of memory and a chip ahead. It’ll shrink.

This all is just spotlighting the weakness of NVIDIA, AMD, Apple, Microsoft, etc. They all avoided manufacturing in-house for so long and now they're fighting for fab time. Intel on the other hand is interesting...

The problem is everyone is using a different “level” of AI model. Experiences by those who can only afford or choose not to pay for the advanced reasoning are far worse than those who can and do pay.

The majority of their cars (Y/3 models) have the penthouse (top) of battery pack super easily accessible from under the back seat, no need to drop a pack.

Not to mention Tesla has the best service mode system in their computer of any brand of all time. They also have the best free to owners assembly/disassembly manuals in the service portal https://service.tesla.com/. They have taken self-service literally to the next level compared to anything I've ever driven ICE, Hybrid or EV and I've owned all of them.

Ah I knew there was an explanation I couldn’t see, thanks!
