we recently got this running in 192gb of vRAM and using it with the Klaudia harness has been incredible for driving out work that we'd need to use Opus and Fable for previously

Funny enough - I spent time last year, and paid for a professional trainer who worked with celebs/elite athletes - to build an app to do what I wanted.

For a long time I had been doing greyskull LP but kept progressing and getting injured and then having to reset.

I've been following my own app now and am loving life and sharing it with friends.

Find what works for you but by all means, lift!

From a lens of control/social cohesion it makes sense tbf. The time kids are most malleable, you want to ensure they're thinking the "correct" way and only consume content from approved sources.

I don't envy the kids of today and how much they can't do compared to my generation

really enjoyed this - great to see modern C++ as well, we were all on Assembly and C when I had to do this on a Freescale/iMX chipset for a wireless router!

So good though taking a reference design, re-laying it out with new modules and then bringing it to life with a scope and a datasheet.

I can only imagine how much will have changed with LLMs being able to be read and have a harness to do the hard work for you!

how do you mean? surely you're paid for delivering product not coding? if it is the latter, I too would love to be paid for recreational coding

You misunderstood my reply. I'm talking about culture, not engineering or coding.

I'm just grateful I don't work with people that say "good riddance" to blanket foreign talent bans, and "catch up or get left behind" to fellow engineers.

That doesn't sound like a nice place to work? Is all I'm saying.

I don't think this is related to culture, it's just the internet nowadays. You need hot takes for engagement. That user probably runs with that mindset always on

That's fair. My internet bubble is intentionally very small.

TIL I’m (a Polish-Canadian) being racist because I don’t like the quality of the work Polish offshore developers my boss hired on the cheap.

Yeah, exactly.

Something not being the primary reason I'm paid does not imply that it's "solved". Personally, I enjoy working at a company where people have intellectual curiosity about varying viewpoints to ambiguous questions like "is coding solved?" rather than scolding people who don't adhere to the dogma as being "left behind".

To be clear, I use LLMs every day as part of my work pretty much entirely because my employer wants me to and has encouraged me to make them part of my workflow. They've managed to do that without anyone saying anything as aggressive as the parent commenter.

it's a very good psyop by non western aligned government actors.

Convincing people that it slurps up infinite water and contains the world's stolen information like some bad National Treasure script is genius.

The android ecosystem is pretty useful...

The populist left are happy to use video too. All UK and Australian politicians are on Twitter and Tiktok and numerous podcasts that then get soundbite sliced.

Perhaps "establishment vs outsider" is a better definition than "right vs left".

kinda. but not really. they just showed a lack of effectiveness and has emboldened other countries to further restrict things like VPNs and roll out ID based net access

The UK government have at least made it clear that they intend to ban right wing media and parties that aren't aligned.

A leaked strategy document from UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, outlined their "Kill Musk's Twitter" to diminish the platform through advertiser pressure and regulatory action
