I read that they bought quite a few, but their DC build out is not very fast. Maybe they should just resell the hardware

I have a 9 pro and it was very slippery at first. I put it face down on a slanted table and it slid right off once.

Anyway, I took the case off after a while. It's not new anymore. Your mileage may vary, but despite dropping it a bunch, it hasn't shattered and the edge only shows some slight marks from falling.

I think this is part of why capex is so high for the big players. Yes data centers are expensive to build but it's also about outbidding for the labor and materials needed to build those. They'd rather build compute they don't need and then lease it then let competitors have their own machines.

I cancelled recently because they really started hassling me more about account sharing.

My friends, I do not share my NYT account. I have two computers at work, I have a number of personal devices. I don't know what number NYT thinks is normal for a person to have, but because I am over that number they were requiring me to login and enter in an OTP multiple times a day basically.

Anyway, it finally got to me. I'll get my news somewhere else I guess. I just don't think they take feedback seriously unless it comes with a cancellation.

Yeah I agree. It's improved quite a bit just in the past few months. The code should always be reviewed, and you need to spend some time tuning your skills and agent configs. If you're still getting bad code out of your LLM tooling, you might not be using or configuring it correctly.

Yeah, this right here. I don't want to sift through thousands of options. Sometimes I just want a widget that is good quality and I don't want to get ripped off.

Yeah I have found worse results if I don't leave it on the highest setting. I have gotten by with Pro and a little overage buffer so far. I have found it working pretty well for what I'm using it for but I have really only been using it a couple months now.

I'm still getting pretty good code out of it, but I only use it on side projects. Is the issue with their odd limit system?

I have a more optimistic take. Those of us who have done it by hand for a while are armed with that experience. Yes you can just use an LLM to do everything now, but I think it's tough to supervise it on tasks that you've never actually had to do. Maybe that won't be as important as I think, but I think that I'd have learned a lot less in school if I just used an LLM to code everything.

Day to day, the resolution of our work is probably different. We're zooming out and spending more time strategizing and managing the AI tooling. This might mean less jobs. It might also mean we just get more done.

I don't work on AI directly either, but I'm finding a lot of value in learning the new tooling. I think being able to competently leverage these tools is going to be a key skill from now on.
