You’d be daft not to IMO, assuming you can even find 5080 anywhere as supply of them is basically done too.

Massive tax write offs on AI infrastructure will help, offset 100% of the costs against tax in the year of purchase. Then ongoing savings and having complete control too. Probably helps that Revolut are drowning in cash too 😂

It’s interesting, some businesses are using open source models, some are training their own models, and there’s a few who are starting to host their own AI infrastructure and making big savings...

@JP83 Refurb might be a good option. Very decent spec for the price and a one year warranty here: https://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/refurbished-medion-bandit-p20-intel-core-i5-14400f-16gb-ram-1tb-ssd-geforce-a1-10025479/version.asp 4060Ti will s**t all over a 3050.

Nope. We’re still in the “bait” stage of “bait and switch”

Case in point - Canva. Business built on providing simple templates for users to build their own content with. Well, they’re doomed then. Canva announces major job cuts after 'our hardest year yet' https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cw77pg7neydmo

He’ll be lucky. Prices have gone crazy. What does his kid want to play and are we talking new or used?

I gave it my absolute best shot on the SL swap, but @Rojer is determined to be “sensible” - whatever that is.

I saw that the other day, funniest thing I’ve watched for ages. BwaaaaaaapBAPBAPBAPBAPBAPBAPBAPBAP

Yep, absolutely. I’m AI-ing myself out of a job as we speak. I think the only thing likely to save me is that I have deep domain knowledge in a custom product which no LLM has much of a handle on. I’d hate to be a specialist in anything industry standard about now.

So. Much. This. The uses we’re finding for it at work are crazy, and it’s going to really start hammering some software companies. There are still issues to work through with an AI based tool deployment though, like who is responsible for security scanning and support? Who validates and owns...

I reckon they were targeting the PS6 and other future generation consoles, but that hardware has been delayed by memory and storage pricing thanks to the AI boom. Will be very interesting to see how it actually runs, given what they’ve shown off in the trailers. I just don’t see how they’re...

They’re incredibly powerful, but I don’t trust any of the AIs enough to let them do stuff like that with my login credentials. Especially not anything from Meta or x.AI

How much speed and data do you need? I’m on EE 5G, £13 a month, 600Gb a month. Obviously a lot depends on how fast the mobile network is in your area but I’m getting 200meg+ EE Unlimited Data SIM – Uncapped 5G Speeds – No Contract – Preloaded Until 4th March 2028 – Plug & Play Broadband for...

Honestly, I’m finding Claude incredibly useful. It takes all the drudge out of issue diagnosis and even when it’s wrong it’s usually close enough that I can get to where I need to be. It does mean that I reckon we could fire half the team, give the other half Claude licenses and get through the...

I think a lot of it is just running out of steam now. There’s only so much mileage (ho ho) in “buy cheapest/riskiest car, fix car, forget about car” content

Between that and this…. https://arstechnica.com/security/2026/10/the-internet-goes-on-high-alert-after-discovery-of-8-compromised-tls-certs/ …. it’s been a hell of a few days in the security space.

What about married lonely nerds?

I’ve not driven it that much TBH, maybe I just got lucky with it.

Spot on. Reconnected, thanks. I was watching out for anything like that, but I think when the previous owner took the R600 intake off the car that never got reconnected.

To the EA888 brethren, I took the air box out of my golf to bleed the clutch and found this pipe not connected to anything. Any ideas? Car is spot on, no error codes, runs fine. It’s the Golf R version of the engine if that makes a difference.

Chat GPT is a bit w**k at that sort of stuff TBH and tends to uncritically regurgitate whatever it pulls in from web scraping. But the point still is a good one, validate everything as independently as you can.

I am getting so fed up with the downsides of AI at work. Our core product was written in-house, no LLM has any real knowledge of it. We now have developers, infrastructure people and even customers generating static based on what Claude is getting confidently wrong. On the one hand AI is great...

It will. He asked his loons on truth social to choose in a poll between Superior Intelligence Supreme Intelligence Extreme Intelligence He then dropped “Supreme Intelligence”. He said it was unpopular because it sounded like it was linked to the Supreme Court and they’ve not been deciding...

Yep. And, amusingly, it’s the most senior levels of management who should be among the easiest to replace with AI tools. Bet it won’t happen.

Yes, and the other big question is where’s the pipeline of expertise to do the stuff that AI can’t going to come from. AI isn’t remotely intelligent. Yet. Boil it right down (with apologies to anyone who’s deep into the tech because this is wrong on almost every technical level, but it’s a...

We’re seeing massive pressure to use AI and one of our support units has been going big on using it for root cause analysis etc. Even with something state of the art for tech work like Claude though, it spits out b****cks when it doesn’t know and what’s so much worse is it sounds utterly...

Ah yes, Meta. The “we had this one world changing idea which worked and has paid for everything ever since” company.

In all seriousness, if you are then don’t because it increases the cost of the query. Politeness is expensive, who knew 😂 Had some fun with a “but Claude says” person on Friday. I don’t care what Claude says, Claude is wrong because it doesn’t understand X, Y and Z. “But….. Claude says”
