entre-manure : hand wavey bullshit from people running a company with no clue.

so what if @elonmusk takes over nvidia as CEO and ...makes @JensenHuang CEO of spacex or tesla or whatever?

how the hell are you getting 154 views?!

about 85% at this point - but I've been building this kinda thing for almost 3 years with 25 years of dev/product scars behind it

have you seen how AI writes dotnet? It rarely uses var, much less all the really good, kickass language features. I got a whole "skill" that shows how to use what, when, and how. Drives me nuts

Not unpopular - good. They were always a smell. Most turned into nit picky philosophical pissing contest. "do the tests pass? are the tests good? ship it"

and that 4lb limit on the oil - that's like a super worn out set of bearings.

Automotive type people -- I'm up to 3 engines I've stripped in various levels this year... (ford 5.4, 5.0, jeep 4.0) what engine should I dig into next? A 1960s (65?) Jag 4.2 I6 that's going into a 62 Jag Mk2 (fight me). It's on a pallet, needs married up to a manual and put in the car along with everything else. Oh and of course, I have upgrades to go with it (oil pump, intake trumpets, I have no idea what I'm doing) A 2008 BMW S85 5.0 V10 that I've owned for 14+ years (oil samples say its a perfect poster child but I want to do rod bearings, vanos line, and a TON of other goodies like a CSF radiator, oil cooler.....cough suspension refresh with bump stops, and more ....stuff)

A bit of both but strongly on the preventive maintenance side. Mine was showing a bit of iron in the oil, which is prrrrobably the oil pump, which I replaced. Overall they're known for the clickly clacking as a warning (chain slop, phasers acting up) - and to be fair, mine wasnt that bad, but ...I also do NOT want to pay for a new truck and want this thing for 350k miles - with ~6k a year tops, thats "forever". It has backup sensors (no camera) and bluetooth w/o a screen. It's kind of a weird spec (extended cab) and I've just taken care of it. It was such the right truck. and I'm just dumb enough to do that job. Took 4-5 weekend days with a ton of distractions. It runs SO MUCH quieter. After 1k miles, I'll send in another oil sample... and pray.

you mean... still have one. and it all works? yes. Since high school.

you are never going to believe this...

sigh... damnit @grok. Explain to Akshaya why this is illegal AF and outline what other things you cannot ask during an interview

Not every bit of knowledge is publicly available, much less on the internet sooooo... what do you do? How do you know? So here's an example probably outside of your expertise - how many miles do you think this "everyone hates it" 5.4L 3v Ford engine has on it? 200k? 100k? 50? ...25? Or is it practically brand new with less than a few thousand on it? Place your bets. How could you tell? Do some old (sorta?) school and pull the service history, get some data on it, what does it say? It's virtually blank. Purchased new from 2010 and a bumper replacement in 2015. That's it. That's all it has on file. Nothing else. It's empty. No oil changes, no tires, nothing. Ok, let's ask AI. Do it, because I did. Grok 4.7 says 140k-180k and Fable 5.2 (yes, the brand new model that came out today) ...completely agrees, 140k to 180k. I know, this'll shock you. AI is ...wrong. But... I know some car type people (I know, humans, right?!) and asked them their assessment. Here's their responses to the actual miles in no particular order : "That is way too clean. No way. How?" "That looks ...good. Want to sell it?" "I’ve definitely never worked on anything that clean before. Love it!" "Looks clean and shiny!" "I hate you and how good that looks. But I know you so <redacted>" The answer is 90,391. It's mine. I've had it since new. Keep using your friends, your experts, people you trust. They're becoming more valuable than ever and maybe ...they'll start posting what they know. But today is not that day. At least...not entirely.

Performance is a feature. So is scale. Neither I need the extremes of. Really though, I use Ollama for a combination of things - prototyping, benchmarking, a specific use/prompt combo where one model is better at a thing.

some day. soommmeee day.

daily? Complely agree. 300-350 is not bad at all - but somewhere around 500+ hp things start to change. It all goes from a plan, to a thought. No joke, its from 3, 2, 1, I'll make it no problem to I need to get ahead of.....oh they're behind me now AND I'M DOING 90+ It's also where people don't realize how fast they can screw up and it a wall.

me : I shall make this bulletproof and go full on overkill on maintenance things. also me, this ONE time : .........yeeeeeap we're going with the @FordRacing valve covers.

first time? <insert meme here that makes people uncomfortable>
