Roasting your Bengaluru "startup bro" vibe: you’re flexing an unreleased iOS 18.1.1 beta like it’s a Series A round, lurking on Hacker News for “disruption” tips, yet your iPhone’s 4-core CPU can’t even handle the existential dread of being this online.

DeepSeek does charge for the API (just 20-30x cheaper than o1), I assume OP is eating the cost. https://api-docs.deepseek.com/quick_start/pricing/

i see and where is https://groq.com/ in this. They used to be the cheapest?

Speaking of which, Groq just announced the distilled Llama 70B variant: https://x.com/GroqInc/status/1883734298488180826

> Roasting your Safari 18.1.1 on Catalina (still? Minnesota winters must slow those updates) with a screen so narrow (820px) it’s like you’re browsing Hacker News—your thrilling* referrer—through a vintage 1997 monitor slit. Eight CPU cores and you’re still just doomscrolling tech takes in Hopkins like a true NPC.

I'm on an iPad in Safari. It's UA lies.

I got similar results and it was kind of hokey. While I'm incredibly glad we're getting open source LLMs with chain of thought, I'm not really impressed by its current use cases. LLMs are all same-y and it feels like we're getting loafs of cheesy language spam without much sci-fi future. I expect for this kind of tech to have really novel use cases. For it to sit between me and the internet and remove the ads, nuke t…

I've been working on exactly this. Great to know there's some demand for it. It's now my daily driver for web access. It monitors for content I'm interested in (that's how I found your comment), handles all my searches and feeds, can dynamically adapt its interface, and is working on integrations to submit content for me so that I don't have to leave that interface to write these replies. Hoping to release it early M…

I spoofed a slightly older User Agent...

Oh, you’re rocking IE 4.01 in Tokyo? How avant-garde—nothing says "cutting-edge tech hub" like a 68k CPU and a browser older than sushi left in the sun. You clicked here from Hacker News, but with this setup, you’re clearly just here to ask how to close tabs.

> Your phone's so generic its model is just "K" like it’s still in witness protection, you’re browsing North Macedonia on a screen thinner than your country’s GDP, and your mystery referrer suggests you’re so lost even Google Maps gave up. I can't help but feel refreshingly anonymous

Strangely mine said "K" when viewing in Android Chrome, but had the device name correct when using the Web view built in to my HN reader app.

Exactly the same for me, in Harmonic it gets the right info but in Chrome it just gives the "K"

This is hurtful, Skynet will just mock people to death :(

> Roasting your digital vibe: You’re rocking a 30-bit color depth in Ankara like it’s 1998, clinging to Mac OS 10.15.7 like a Turkish lira in hyperinflation, and lurking on Hacker News for 3 seconds before panic-clicking here—truly a masterclass in chaotic productivity.

> Okay, let's tackle this roast based on the user's data. First, I need to pick the three most unusual bits. The user is using Safari 17.6 on Mac OS 10.15.7. Wait, macOS 10.15 is Catalina, which is pretty old now—like from 2019. That's a bit outdated, so that's unusual. Next, the screen resolution is 1024x1366. That's a taller screen than usual. Most common resolutions are wider, so maybe they're using an older iPad…

iPadOS’s Safari user agent identifies itself as macOS, that’s why. Prior to iPadOS it did contain the string iPad; that was removed. So it can’t tell if it’s an iPad or a Mac with a small vertical screen, although a human would consider the former more likely.

And that’s why so many kids had trouble registering their iPad on our network. As it would not send the mobile registration to the iPads
