Ford had to hire back former engineers to fix mistakes made by its automated systems

Even Mercedes does it but mine had no leaks at 240k km.
They'll shave weight in the stupidest places to meet emissions.

How do you use it without agents? Just prompt the chat interface?
When I used claude code, I'd go through the smallest tier subscriptions 5h limit in half an hour sometimes if I used Opus lol, reckon at API pricing it would've been 100 bucks an hour

Is it? I'm spending my own money on 4 currently bottom tier AI subscriptions (fucking hell I'm not gonna pay 200€ a month for one sub) that I'm trying out and working on 3-4 projects in parallel. Lots of experimentation been done in my own time to get things working nicely too. I won't say I deliver 3-4x as much work in the same time because obviously I don't, I have to double check everything and with small things the AI is slower than I am... But even just 50% more work is 50% more money.
The alternative is going and saying "hey I want 50% more money per hour because I deliver 50% more work in the same timeframe now" and my employer telling me to pound sand because that puts me over what they charge for my work when they rent me out. Instead I bill them more and they bill their customers more and nobody needs to raise their rates.
This probably is a best case scenario for AI usage being a productivity boost, I'm not forced to use it (and often don't), my employer/customer is okay with me billing extra hours IFF I'm getting things done in less time than reasonable estimates. Their customers still get the things done in the costs (hours) that they agreed to.

If you accept changes then you're probably using an agent though?

Personally I do it to clock more hours than I've actually done, why else?

Valve Says The Companies Making RAM Give Them A Price And If They Say No, They ‘Never Talk To Us Again’
Reply in thread
Let's not forget that almost all memory is made by a cartel of 3 companies known for price fixing. They're all being as slow as possible about increasing production capacity.

They do have anti siphon valves these days so the process is a little bit more complicated I believe, though I don't think those are impossible to defeat either.

Yes because it takes time and money to build them so you don't do it on a monthly basis, you do it when the performance gain is worth it

Well yes, but also it's my hard work in my 20s that put me in a place where I'm paid enough that 50 hour months aren't catastrophic to my livelihood.

I'm seeing the Acer for 2000 EUR with a 5060 and 16 gigs of RAM. You sure your prices aren't from a few months ago or something? 5070/32GB is over 2300 and that's not ever the 5070Ti.

I had that with coffee and the other things was my balls.
Thankfully that was merely hot coffee, not burning hot. No demand for store credit to replace my balls was made.

Reply in thread
They still sell consumer memory IIRC, just not their own brand. They'll make DDR5 for others at inflated prices though.

How much more once you add tax? EU prices have tax factored in already.

Quite literally not how your comment reads to me. It reads as if your experience is that windows can use less but people will argue that it's not possible.

I would argue it used to be faster since it was indexed.
Not going to install win 11 to find out if it's any good again. But in 7 it was.
