How does the arrival line work?

I know it can take 4-8 hours or so but is it constant stop and go traffic? I'm bringing an rv and would rather not sit in the drivers seat the entire time. Is it possible to sit and watch TV or something then move it every once in a while or how exactly does it work?

I've watched tons of videos and see the line stopped and people out, then everytime people are at the entrance it looks empty so its confusing.

Shortening bed design?

I'm looking to remodel my bus and wanting to make the bed so it's motorized and instead of just sits up it shortens so I can walk around it. I think it's called something like hinged foot-section bed.

I've seen it in some expensive RVs and basically it moves about a foot up when it turns into more of a couch type where you can sit up and watch TV and such.

My goal is a queen bed like this then 200gal water tank underneath which would be perfect use of space. My calculations say even if it's 12" shorter than a bet it only needs 10" of height for the tank to hit 200 gallons. Maybe 11" with the plastic and sides and such then the metal frame puts it normal bed height.

Anyone done this or have any designs?

I have a client wanting me to build them an AI rig. I told them $35k

I have a long term client we manage their infrastructure. It's a very profitable business with govt contracts and such. Owners HNW not really concerned about price they just want a local AI model.

I quoted them a rtx6000 96gb, 9975x, 8x32gb, 2x1tb plus 2x4tb Samsung 9100 drives.

My other idea was to quote them 8xH100 used server for like $200-250k so they at least get nvlink. Maybe even some DGX Sparks.

I'm really really concerned they're expecting Fable level performance for 30 employees or something and for it last 8+ years. But it could be just used to review data overnight or something.

I get all my info handed down through multiple employees so not sure about anything. I'm concerned they'll find some company online that'll scam them into a $100k rig that's worse than a rtx6000.

This is a client that one day they asked for help because the owner bought 50+ GPUs for Bitcoin mining rigs that some kid built and sold them. I had to explain they can't run these massive fire hazards in their office and need special cooling. I got it running in their office for proof it all worked but they never turned them on because obviously they're loud. They're sitting in a closet.... Unfortunately they're all 3060s/3070s. I saw his btc wallet and it was worth like 3million back then.

Is there any way to use a pixel/Galaxy watch or something to set to record video?

I ride motorcycles a lot and constantly get cutoff. With a helmet I can't hit the button and because so loud it can't hear me.

Is there anything at all to remotely control record? I'll buy anything or develop whatever.

Place to bring RV early or any tips on preparing??

I have a 33+ hour drive in my RV to get there and there's no way I'll be able to do it right before. My plan is to drive 1-2 weeks before and store it somewhere all prepared then fly home and fly back to drive the rest of the way. Anyone done this? Any tips or options??

Many airports have semi storage so I'm hoping I can find one, otherwise I'm thinking self storage or campground.

Also this is my first burn and completely at a loss on what to do or how to help.

My RV is purpose built for stuff like this and I went to help out as much as possible. It's 5000w solar, 20,000w generator and whole system to power multiple RVs and everything . It also has 6 ACs and is basically all couches.

I plan on bringing a ton of supplies like food/water and such to help out. I have tons and tons of room and fortune to be able to buy a lot of stuff to help.

Any suggestions on how I can help others best?

Wall mount touch display?

I'm wanting some touch displays that can be wall mounted but can't seem to find anything. Ideally something I can put the electronics in a single gang box then the screen is close to flush but I'll take whatever I can get.

Ideally esp32 but If not that's fine too.

Best option so far seems ipad with some case but seems pointless to be locked into an iPad when I can build whole interface myself

How fast can you burn through your weekly limit?

So they removed the 5 hour limits. how fast are you able to burn through your weekly limit? Any able to burn through it in 5-10 minutes with subagents?

I'm on business pro plans and monthly limits and no matter what I do and spawn up it takes forever. I want to run hundreds of subagents and burn through in an hour. also multiple tasks concurrently.

I mainly use claude and they freely allow you to burn through as much as you want. your usage is yours.

I'm just not sure if its a business plan issue or how they adjusted things.

For instance I have a goal running for over 24 hours and its been running for days but every reset makes it restart

How are you managing concurrent tasks/chats in windows app?

In Claude code windows I can run 5 sessions at the same time on my screen and know what I'm working on. But on the chatgpt/codex app I can't get anything split screen.

How are you able to run 5+ projects and know what you're working on vs what's just another task in the menu that isn't important today

Is there any real reason to buy a GPU right now instead of just use subscriptions?

Outside security and things violating subscriptions. Strictly about costs and performance. Is there any actual reason or cost effectiveness to run local models over all the subscriptions?

I run 4 GPUs now (4060, 4070, 4080, 3090) for certain projects but every time I try to use for normal AI use its not worth it.

I keep wanting to spend 10k+ for a R6000 but don't see the point. Even if there's LLMs at opus level it'll take 4 years to recoup the costs.... unless I'm missing something.

How does the usage/speed compare to opus?

What to use for large base?

I have a 3'x3' laser and need something underneath it so I don't damage the table or anything. What should I use? I'm planning to get a larger 3x6ft laser.

I found my laser is perfect for my GF to use to outline banners she makes, so it's low power and fast just to put markings.

Is there anything that's cheap and light and possibly folds?

I'm used to wood engraving and no real risk of issues. I'm worried she'll place it on granite counter or wood floor and accidentally forget to adjust the power and it'll burn right through.

guests stole all our supplies

We have a large house with private pool and its pretty normal to have parties. We're ok with some things but this one was a bit insane.

on the 4th they called the cops and there was a lot of drama with going to the neighbors for help. (luckily the neighbor is my property managers (elderly parents)

Somehow the pools chemicals are all off and its green. I'm assuming a lot of beer or something was spilled in there.

They got locked out of the garage (the actual door code keeps breaking) so I gave them the code to the emergency lockbox which opens all doors. They went into the cleaning closet and stole like 5 years worth of soap/shampoo/conditioner mini bottles. We're talking like 6 boxes of these mini bottles.

They trashed the place more than normal and broke a cabinet door.

Then after finding all this they forgot something and wanted us to "toss it in the bed of the pickup truck down the street"... which i'm assuming instead of leaving they parked up the street infront of a neighbors.

Normally I don't really care but I got the call from the cops at like 10pm on the 4th and they told me its about some dumb fight about someone inviting guests that others didn't know or some other dumb thing wasting the cops time, apparently they left in an ambulance for no reason to get away for the night.

They left me a 5 star review and said the neighbors were super nice and friendly. They also said they were there before when the pool was closed so are repeat customers.

I'm not really sure if I should just call it a loss or do something about it. I don't really care about most of it but the fact they went into our cleaning closet and stole a ton of products is crazy. IDK how much this stuff costs but I'm betting its over a grand.

Russian Engineering Madmen Create Turbo-Style Alternator Driven by Exhaust

Came across this article and wondering why this isn't implemented in trucks to operate like a Jake brake?

I have a Prevost RV and have multiple alternators and such as power is important. Wouldn't something like this be much better solution as it'll capture that power lost?

Canon PRO-4600 cost per print?

I have a Canon PRO-4600 44" LFP I bought and never really used. I know ink is crazy expensive and a pain.

My gf does a lot of banner making and I suggested she use this to make outlines to help her, currently she uses a projector and traces from the wall.

I don't want to waste a few bucks every print just for a couple lines on 24/36" paper.

I recall this thing burning a ton of ink every time it turns on and she only does like 1 a week.

Best project management software

Me and my team are running a bunch of AI projects and our entire infrastructure has changed with AI and we're getting way out of sync. We run gitlab for CI/CD but have tried to use Jira, Azure devops and other platforms but can't really get it to work in this new AI platform.

The problem is we're running 100 active projects and many times we're waiting on Claude which can take hours or fill an entire workday. We're also working multiple projects at a time and its hard to know the status and if its blocked by an employee or Claude or just forgot.

Another issue is proper conversation storing from CC and ability to review and manage what its all doing. Claude makes various changes that are outside the specific scope but necessary and then it kicks off another user's task. It could close a security gap that's exposed on purpose because its properly required during testing, or fix an issue that we have a card open and then we have a dev wasting hours trying to reproduce the issue.

Its not abnormal to have 3 devs running CC on the same codebase and merging. Many with different scopes and prompts for CC so they get different results.

Then when we have a dev switch computers or something we have a huge issue with getting them back to the same quality of prompting and scope from before.

We're currently on Max subscriptions and some in a team. I think team doesn't have x20 so we have it split. I'm sure enterprise API with a custom harness would solve this but we'd be spending 100k/month in API tokens.

All we really need is for CC to work with a project management software to understand its tasks and scope then know exactly what card its on and what to work on, then when we pull other cards it knows to change scope. Then take that entire history and upload it to the card so we have full visibility. Ideally with additional metrics on token usage, hours spent and how many prompts the user used. Basically the same metrics we'd get from a normal dev

How to get CC to remember long term?

I get we only have 1M context but isnt compact supposed to pull import information? Is there any other thing I can do to have it remember important information?

​

Say I'm building an app and want a dedicated session to manage the UI and only UI. It seems after a bit it'll forget the color schemes and design and even the scope, it'll try changing database info or even leach into other projects.

​

Is there anything I can do to prevent this and ensure it says in scope and remembers things? Is there specific software or items I can use to build a memory or anything else to force it to stick and remember everything

Small screen for in wall control?

I need the best small screen that uses low power 12v. Its for an RV and need high quality or something that isn't outrageously bright. I know lots of cheap screens leak light or look cheap.

​

I need about 5 of these and in different sizes. Some 1.5"x5" or similar. As I have a hole for that. Also something larger. Then maybe 5" or 7" or similar.

​

I'm thinking esp32 makes most sense power wise but not sure if anything is better. I don't mind spending a couple hundred each.

​

They'll all be just for a few buttons. I'm wondering if there's any oled screens that are true black, it'll be really nice to have cool screensavers.

I have tons of wood any idea how to sell in bulk?

I ended up buying tons of wood from an auction about some company going out of business. The idea was to build desks and tables and such for my offices. I found out I'm very allergic to wood so its just been sitting in my warehouse. Almost everything is like 2" thick and perfect for tables and everything. Lots are 15ft+ even. For reference this is a 60ft deep garage.

I'd like to sell it all or at least a huge chunk. Any ideas?
