    Yes. I need to pay someone. Get notified when my credit card is used. If any important banking communication happened. What do I do with a phone without: banking, uber, messenger l…

    I need a phone I can root and still have their shit attestations. Rooting alone is not even that important anymore, you can’t install almost any app that’s useful or use payments. …

    I think it’s too easy to trick you into token counting by checking tokens used. I think we should only focus on Price, time and productivity. Some kind of ratio So a cheap model wi…

    Ask HN: I still don't understand why AI agents need "skills"

    I’ve asked AI a few times and I still don’t get it. Why do frameworks like Claude Code or Codex have the concept of “skills” instead of just using well-organized Markdown docs? Cou…

    That’s why I said “less bad “. Between fabricating something to be “our model also is genius and escaped” VS “deeply embarrassing” I’d say fabricating is worse. Both are bad

    I don’t buy that they run anything without a few layers of networking protections by default. Even if they left it open to the first Internet, the AI would hit the decoy internet i…

    Yeah, the company that only says “safety” every other 3 words, they don’t even think to have a fake decoy internet to alert them mechanically about any internet access limitation b…

    For the big safety guys to only investigate this either means are incompetent or malevolent. Which one? Tip: the people working there are the top 0.001% smartest in the world

    Laugh it off. Especially when I can earn a ton more off doing it anyway. 6% is cost of doing business. I’ll earn 50% more by doing the sketchy shit.

    ChatGPT 5.6 Sol ultra still can get basic things written cleanly. I still need to tweak it quite a few times to get it right. Super useful but if you vibe code you’re in a huge mes…

    And keep pushing this until it passes. Keep repeating like they do chat control.

    You need to first provide a passport image + 5 angled selfies + bank statement + proof of employment to the Peoples Democratic European Union before you can sign.

    I can’t see the difference between terra and sol but I always use Sol. You guys can tell the difference. Even medium to xhigh is not that clear the difference.

    That’s basically a massive hack. Every real world app will need enough js that htmx will require you to put js on front end and you’ll need to hack it together. Just like we did ph…

    Sorry but not using a devpod or a vm for that in this age is just irresponsible. A random npm package can already do a lot of damage.
