Sometimes the reasons people give are not the real reasons.

Shit. This was my last near-stock Android choice with great battery life. What's the alternative now? I hate Pixels and don't really want to give Google my info anyway. Is there so…

Openrouter definitely supports vision models. Why would you have to give up vision?

My experience has been quite the opposite. I have done far better than my peers and have less debt. I wonder which country you're in?

Even if they are... road to hell and all that

After recently figuring out how to get CUDA running on Fedora I'm inclined to agree. Seriously, GPUs are a mess and keeping LLMs from helping us use them properly is practically a …

A year ago I was using claude and found it unexpectedly blowing-away already-settled code. I found this frustrating and just wanted to drop a "save point" where I could compare the…

I managed an adult platform with 200 employees and $75 million in revenue and a dedicated Risk Analysis team. I think I know a thing or two about this, but thanks for the input.

The timeline expired 17 years ago. They've been granted numerous extensions. This deadline is neither new nor "suddenly tight". They were granted another extension last year. They'…

Tahoe is not a town. It is a region containing many towns. Most of it will continue to have power (mostly through NV Energy). This is a single utility that has failed to plan for t…

Chargebacks. "Oh, honey, I don't know how that got there. A hacker must've stolen my card! I'll call the bank immediately!" Worked in the adult industry and traditional e-commerce.…

And they're Australian, not American.

I guess you missed the part where they turned around and became profitable.

GameStop has zero debt and billions in cash on its books. It is not a stretch for them to be making this offer. It really does make sense here for both sides.

The US also has postal codes that map to individual addresses. People just don't know them.

For my use case I need MSL to support fp64. Until that happens I don't care what hardware changes they make: I'm not going to be filling racks with M5s and they're not producing so…

Did nobody notice that this is a spam blog designed to sell NAD+ supplements?

My concern is Cloudflare will implement this plan in a way that makes it very profitable for large players and absolutely kills any new entrants to the market in the future.

...which explains the link to China. NK natives probably do not typically have access to computers or the open internet, but the children of certain elites are educated in China. T…

Hey - not everything is bullshit on "Who's hiring" threads. I once got eight rounds of interviews with a company before being ghosted by someone off of an HN thread.

Sorry, but how would you ever prove a job ad is fake? "Were you going to hire someone for this role?" "Yes." "Case dismissed."

How, exactly, would that convince an investor such as myself that your company is suddenly worth more? Generally when I'm looking at a company's financials more employees means les…

The problem is most "ghost jobs" aren't: They're real jobs with a real intention to hire, but the hiring team can't come to a decision. I've seen it time and time again: A role get…

"Allowing" UK residents to access the site? The UK is not the police of the Internet. 4chan is not a UK site and does not have to be aware of UK law. If the UK doesn't like it then…
