Most people don’t even like the idea of wearing smart glasses or smart watches, and you expect them to line up and pay for brain chips? 🥴

I look forward to seeing more electric leaf blowers. Sure they have a bit of an annoying high pitched whine when you’re close by, but you’re not going to hear it more than 5 meters away. I’ve also been seeing more electric lawn mowers which are also much quieter.
- Comment on Investors are making up the highest share of homebuyers in 5 years 2 weeks ago:
This is absolutely terrible for working people and the economy as a whole. Gatekeeping which ultimately brings down everyone including the investors who hold it above the heads of others.

Why does it say “Source: US government”? 😂
- Comment on U.S. solar will pass wind in 2025 and leave coal in the dust soon after 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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.

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?

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 3 weeks ago:
What a dumb take.
- Comment on Data Shows That AI Use Is Now Declining at Large Companies 3 weeks 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.

If I have a low ability in that specific area then why was I able to achieve success?

I love not spending money on trash.
- Comment on Renewables blow past nuclear when it comes to cheap datacenter juice 3 weeks 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.

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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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.

- Comment on AI adoption rate is declining among large companies — US Census Bureau claims fewer businesses are using AI tools 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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.

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 1 month 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.

Looks stupid, I’d much prefer a more powerful tablet that’s cheaper. Gimmick.

Imagine seeing something and instead of enjoying it you just default to a sour ass shit take “AI slop” with no further thought.

If they’re that dumb I wouldn’t want to work for them anyway.

Sure I’ll agree it’s both.
