- Comment on U.S. solar will pass wind in 2025 and leave coal in the dust soon after 2 days ago:
Sodium-ion batteries are becoming more viable, which will be necessary to buffer the solar energy surge during the day and lack of energy production at night.
- Comment on AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds 2 days ago:
I remember GPT 4 being useless and constantly giving wrong information. Now with newer models they’ve become significantly more useful, especially when prompted to be extremely careful and to always double check to ensure the best response.
- Comment on AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds 3 days ago:
I’ve found success using more powerful LLMs to help me create applications using the Rust programming language. If you use a weak LLM and ask it to do something very difficult you’ll get bad results. You still need to have a fundamental understanding of good coding practices. Using an LLM to code doesn’t replace the decision making.

Wait, are you blaming AI for this, or yourself?
- Comment on Data Shows That AI Use Is Now Declining at Large Companies 3 days ago:
I did, it wasn’t better. What “off the shelf” OCR software are you talking about? I tried EasyOCR and PaddleOCR. Llama 4 Maverick has been more accurate.
- Comment on Data Shows That AI Use Is Now Declining at Large Companies 5 days ago:
What a dumb take.
- Comment on Data Shows That AI Use Is Now Declining at Large Companies 5 days ago:
It makes sense that large companies would be incapable of using it effectively. They rely on antiquated systems and rigid structures that are less likely to change than smaller companies.
- Comment on Data Shows That AI Use Is Now Declining at Large Companies 5 days ago:
If I have a low ability in that specific area then why was I able to achieve success?
- Comment on ‘My buyer’s guilt is insane. It’s $1,300 on trash’: the adults addicted to blind box toys like Labubus 5 days ago:
I love not spending money on trash.
- Comment on Renewables blow past nuclear when it comes to cheap datacenter juice 6 days ago:
Thankfully wind and solar are cheap and require a low up front investment, otherwise it couldn’t be. We need to continue to invest in battery technology, sodium batteries are the way forward.
- Comment on Data Shows That AI Use Is Now Declining at Large Companies 6 days ago:
Yea, you can do that, but have fun doing that 1000 times a day. Manually copying was the problem, I created a system that automated that process.
- Comment on Data Shows That AI Use Is Now Declining at Large Companies 6 days ago:
Then why was I the one to do it if anyone could have done it?
- Comment on Data Shows That AI Use Is Now Declining at Large Companies 6 days ago:
Skill issue. I used AI to create a web application that extracts the serial number from an image into text. This allows us to just simply take a picture rather than than having to type the serial number manually while using a magnifying glass. Significantly speeding up the process and lowering error rate.

I like my version better.

- Comment on AI adoption rate is declining among large companies — US Census Bureau claims fewer businesses are using AI tools 3 weeks ago:
Also that is the cost to train them, not the cost to use them, which is different.
- Comment on AI adoption rate is declining among large companies — US Census Bureau claims fewer businesses are using AI tools 3 weeks ago:
That was published a year ago, highly selective, doesn’t include something like Llama 4 Maverick.
- Comment on AI adoption rate is declining among large companies — US Census Bureau claims fewer businesses are using AI tools 3 weeks ago:
It is absolutely a bubble, but the applications that AI can be used for still remain while the models continue to get better and cheaper. Here’s the actual graph:
- Comment on DDR4 costs soar as manufacturers pull the plug — panic buying and stockpiling impact DDR4 spot pricing as supply dwindles 3 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t waste any money on DDR4 at this point. The only excuse I could think of is if you have a motherboard that requires DDR4 and your current RAM is not working. Otherwise, get a motherboard that supports DDR5 and you’re good.
- Comment on UK government trial of Microsoft's M365 Copilot finds no clear productivity boost 3 weeks ago:
If that’s what they meant then it’s bad writing.
- Comment on UK government trial of Microsoft's M365 Copilot finds no clear productivity boost 4 weeks ago:
“speeding up some tasks yet making others slower due to lower quality outputs”
So use it for the tasks that were made more efficient, and stop using it for the ones that slowed down or were low quality.
- Comment on Huawei unveils new trifold smartphone before Apple’s iPhone 17 reveal 4 weeks ago:
Looks stupid, I’d much prefer a more powerful tablet that’s cheaper. Gimmick.
- Comment on Leaked images of soon to be released Cyber Plane 4 weeks ago:
Imagine seeing something and instead of enjoying it you just default to a sour ass shit take “AI slop” with no further thought.
- Comment on Taco Bell rethinks AI drive-through after man orders 18,000 waters 5 weeks ago:
If they’re that dumb I wouldn’t want to work for them anyway.
- Comment on Taco Bell rethinks AI drive-through after man orders 18,000 waters 5 weeks ago:
Sure I’ll agree it’s both.
- Comment on Taco Bell rethinks AI drive-through after man orders 18,000 waters 5 weeks ago:
That’s not true. It’s developers incapable of using AI responsibly. If my manager told me to use AI, I would be sure to inform them of the limitations professionally.
- Comment on Taco Bell rethinks AI drive-through after man orders 18,000 waters 5 weeks ago:
Seriously, this is not a problem with AI, it’s a problem with the developers who don’t know what they’re doing. Whenever building something like this, ALWAYS assume the user will try to break it. Simple.
- Comment on Sam Altman admits OpenAI ‘totally screwed up’ its GPT-5 launch and says the company will spend trillions of dollars on data centers 1 month ago:
Never use AI for friendship, it’s like admitting you only want yes-men in your life. I don’t want to be around anyone who uses AI for emotional support.
- Comment on Mozilla warns Germany could soon declare ad blockers illegal 1 month ago:
You can make ad blockers illegal, but you can’t actually enforce it unless you have a dystopian totalitarian government with a secret police to track down anyone using one. Does Germany have that?
