I have used Telnyx for, on the opposite end of cool-ness, their fax API. Curious if their AI pricing and quality are actually competitive or if this is just a rapid pivot to try to…

This may have been part of this issue I found a few months back, as no other explanation for how UUID URLs got indexed was found: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47769796

My ex used to work in their sales department lol. But I'd seen them anyway, in the context of cheap unmanaged switches on Amazon. They are not a state owned company or anything so …

It's not out of some anti-AI ideology. I use LLMs daily. I just don't understand why we need to pay $8,000 for a robot that does exactly two tasks, takes up space in the house, use…

> For home use, you don't care if it takes 3 hours to make your bed or just stops for a while when waiting for a teleoperator to become available. But why would you pay thousands a…

Well, the first filter catches anyone whose timezone is set to mainland China. That includes presumably all individual devs just using a VPN, who have no desire to or knowledge of …

The timezone checks for Shanghai and Urumqi, but not Hong Kong. All of these are the same actual time (China does not use time zones internally), not sure how these three were pick…

I'm sure there is something I don't know here, but how is working with integers "brittle"? The only issue I see is rounding down by default, not sure if that is even an issue or no…

A Plaid balance check is NOT a guarantee that the ACH debit you're about to submit will go through. I don't care if the balance is one million, before that ACH can process, every s…

> For example the default output file name. It doesn't ask for an output file name when you save output. I'm not really sure what output file even means for an interpreted language…

> getting grilled by legal about why the Google logo and brand colors are on the Google Workspace GitHub code repositories. The wording is very ambiguous, but to me it suggests the…

YC's application asks for test scores if under 25, although it doesn't specify which ones.

> even contractually according to their terms of service This is backwards: the ToS says that users cannot use the service for certain things, it does not guarantee that the servic…

> No, it can not. Bash lets you open TCP sockets. I thought you had to use a program called netcat for that--if not then what is the point of that binary? And for that matter, can'…

It's not really needed at all for macOS, but remains mandatory for even free apps on iPhone/iPad, so yes virtually all users have one. Same goes for free macOS App Store apps but t…

Apple is very strict about keyboard extensions so I am surprised it is allowed. They require it to be functional even if you don't allow any data sharing back to the app, let alone…

Whether or not you think it's a good thing, controlling LLMs is arguably a lot more effective than cryptography. For crypto as long as you have at least one currently unbreakable a…

Downtown hotels often don’t have a choice, even if it’s just a Courtyard Inn etc. I har to park my 23 Civic LX at a hotel in DC before for work trip. It was like $80 a day plus tip…

Providing information (website, CT log, CRL) is fine, but creating a certificate on request is clearly a service. How is that different than providing a computation or LLM output i…

I only noticed the star net one (not sure if it’s even in use) when writing this. I noticed the Pyongyang Zoo (which shares an IP with the Architects Society—one on 443 and one on …

Typically not. Because they don't have local phone numbers nor IP addresses, so they cannot be used for scams or fake identities domestically. In China, roaming SIMs also bypass al…

Notably, it says they will notify you if they downgrade your responses due to suspected distillation (trying to reverse engineer their model). But if you merely ask it questions ab…

The question is, will that be enough? If OFAC can demonstrate that even with such restrictions, sanctioned entities are frequently obtaining certificates, they may be forced to req…

You issued a certificate for North Korea's email infrastructure as recently as six days ago : https://crt.sh/?id=26878583197 (06/04/2026 smtp.star-co.net.kp) https://crt.sh/?id=202…

I had been meaning to post somewhere that they issued a certificate to kza.org.kp a few months ago but didn't really seem worthy of its own thread. I am no lawyer, but while there …
