I'm not so sure anyone was let out of the dungeon. All the "co-founder" statements read exactly like Claude drivel. If I were a betting man, I'd bet HackerOne simply wired LLMs up …

If ever there was a case study in the complexity of "market forces", it's Microsoft's Windows' resilience to pressure from clearly superior options like MacOS. As a life long Linux…

I'm having a difficult time imagining how an admissions event in 2021 materializes in the spring semester of 2026 in a class largely taken by first-year students. Could you explain…

To be honest, this comment reads to me like LLM output. You have a history of comments that were clearly written by a human, with character, but this comment stands out to me as an…

I cancelled a 12 year old Prime account solely out of principle because of this.

It's interesting that even people who are anti-Flock have been convinced to refer to Flock's camera products as automatic license plate readers (ALPRs). This is similar to how Goog…

I may be imagining this, but I'm nearly certain I was running dillo on a PDA (I want to say Palm Treo) around 2001. I remember it feeling revolutionary to open up a webpage on some…

Tokens are an implementation detail that have no business being part of product pricing. It's deliberate obfuscation. First, there's the simple math of converting tokens to dollars…

Unless you used different language for the bet, you lost it the moment it was made. "Never" may be falsified by "at least once", but affirmed only by "never". So I'm afraid only yo…

A mature CEO would characterize the "not good reasons" engineers had for not onboarding. I think most people would agree that engineers outright refusing to comply with what was as…
