IIRC, the docs say you're supposed to be able to use it with a trial account. I think I did try to sign up for the other kind and ran into a wall where I had to contact support or …

These were never actually available anyways, I tried multiple times over the years in multiple regions and I always got “no capacity”.

This is sometimes done intentionally to hide latency and make a UI feel faster - I certainly don’t like it though.

I’ve been finding that very rigorous/technical people who are willing to adapt their workflows are very effective, whereas more “management” types are sometimes effectively pushing…

Lutes, even!

This is just a matter of priorities - I use LLMs to write code every day and I have never put a single line of code up for review that I didn’t read and understand.

It's turn based, the most similar game I've played is probably Fantasy General. Closer to Advance Wars or Fire Emblem than Warcraft.

I tried this with Claude - it has to be explicitly instructed to not make an external tool call, and it can get the right answer if asked to show its work long-form.

Your HN jobs page lists comp as 24-48k, is this accurate?

It matters for things like verifiable builds.

This is similar to how wild boar was hunted in Europe - there were special spears made with extra crossbars to reduce the chance of a boar reaching the spear holder after being imp…

A half century? Surely that must be a typo?

I’m surprised that this doesn’t get talked about more - I’ve worked with plenty of women, minorities, and immigrants at large tech companies, but I can’t recall a single person wit…

I think that you should mention that this is specific to 90 degree v8 engines - other engine designs can have similar crankshaft / firing order trade offs but would not be describe…

That’s not their best hardware deal, but you also have to understand that you are paying for rack space, electricity, bandwidth, on-site staff for repairs, etc. They are actually a…

The piano is not the canonical model of a scale - it’s just a bit more visual than some other instruments. I went to music school and primarily play guitar and violin but can sort …

I have found that even 2D games (eg Hades) aren’t reasonable to run at 4K, but basic gui desktop with a terminal emulator works fine.

There’s still basically one with a couple storage options - they have shipped with different fans though. My (fairly recent) unit has very reasonable fan noise.

Location: SF Bay Area Remote: Prefer to work in-office, but would consider remote opportunities. Willing to relocate: Possibly, for the right opportunity. Technologies: Linux, Pyth…

I had very mixed experiences as a customer in ~2009 - it was definitely possible to get through to someone very competent, but it was pretty difficult. We were trying to use their …

Why do you think the unit economics of Carvana have to be worse than a traditional dealer? Maybe they have to do more shipping of vehicles around, but they are less reliant on stor…

Yes, some hashes might not meaningfully hurt it, but they won’t add any entropy, which is the real problem.

1) I have more of a sysadmin background, so someone else will have to answer this. I will say that if you interviewed in the sre-swe track, transferring to a swe role is not diffic…

I use the "multiple security keys" approach, and the biggest problem is keeping track of which keys are registered with which services and making sure the list is up to date. A few…

There are many SciFi titles that are extremely expensive in hardcover these days. There is a lot of amazon volatility, so I tend to use price watch sites, but some also consistentl…
