This is fair, but it feels like it pushes another finger into the door of mass surveillance. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a few toggles away in the station software.
Well they can win! Since everyone is so pro LLM don't write apps in Nodejs LOL
Pre LLM nodejs was convenient option to deploy to all platforms at once.
Post LLM that's no longer a limitation! Just prompt more to create apps in native language! Anyways RAM is getting costlier by the day due to LLMs themselves
That is unless devs don't use LLMs at all. Then they should simply state in the GitHub repo that we don't use AI!
I wouldn't use AI for hobby projects tbh. It's my personal preference
> Just prompt more to create apps in native language!
If you have ever done that you know that that's as true as "write once, run everywhere". There will always be tweaks and iterations, even if it saves you a lot of time.
For causal use, I've had best success with freemium photoroom.com (export res limit on free use).
Even better than OP's, but it's been a while since I've compared these.
Yeah a $60 hot air station may be enough, assuming you have all the consumables and chips.
This isn't something even the average techie will risk trying.
My 2008 MBP had a motherboard failure due to bad factory solder, but you could sometimes fix it by taking the motherboard out and putting it in the oven for just the right amount of time to reflow it. I still remember how scary it was putting the logic board in the oven - but it wasn't really bravery, when the alternative was a non-functional laptop anyway. I did eventually give up on it after it had relapsed two or three times.
My MBP had the same issue and was eligible for a replacement but since the computer couldn’t boot due to a GPU issue they couldn’t run the GPU test to verify it was a GPU issue. Even though you could clearly read the logs and tell it was the GPU.
So good, did this 3 times, everytime it would fail faster haha. Another trick was to run a benchmark, disable sleep and wrap it in some blankets until for an hour or so until the gpu solder was reflowed, didnt try that haha
Sounds about right for success odds for a novice, definitely don't start out on an expensive card. Get some low-capacity DIMMs or obsolete GPUs to practice on.
No, he's right. Techies are cowards. Those poor but educated people in the slums of Shenzhen are reverse engineering Nvidia GPUs to find out how to add more RAM, so what the fuck are we doing to have less results?
> so what the fuck are we doing in our cushy lives?
Racking in money printed out of thin air by banks using a sleight of hand then forcing people to give us things in exchange for said printed money under threat of being bombed, invaded, and sanctioned
Yep. We've broken lots of things. Expensive things. Some days, when I remember the (frequently dumb) things I did as a youngster, I am surprised that I still have all 10 fingers and both eyes.
Yeah, it's gonna be more than that. You'll also need a hot plate, flux, solder wick. I'd double that price to 120, not to mention it takes quite a bit of practice to learn bga soldering.
True, but it's extremely effective at getting registrations, almost to the point that you're dooming yourself without it. Anyone and everyone uses it, big and small. Google can afford any random user to run a few queries before dangling the hook, but it's all the same.
