Amazon Bedrock supports Claude 3.5, and you can use inference profiles to split it across multiple regions. It's also the same price. For my use case I use a hybrid of the two, simulating standard rate limits and doing backoff on 529s.

And, really, wouldn't a car that had controls like a plane be awesome? Probably not everyone's cup of tea, but I'd adore a set of metal physical switches just above the windscreen. Add a HUD while you're at it...

I'm new to cars - I haven't passed my test yet. I also live in the UK, where manuals are the norm (and that's what I'm learning on). What is it that you dislike about CVTs? When you say a real gearbox, is it manual or au

I got an email from Microsoft recently with that funny thin font used for headers. It reminded me that that was a trend around 2016 or so. The headers would have thinner font strokes than the body text, despite being substantially larger. I

BTW we all know this is LLM generated. It's really obvious. Please stop (entirely; don't just get better at hiding it).

It almost makes me want to find some use for them on my Linux box (not that is has an NPU), but I truly can't think of anything. Too small to run a meaningful LLM, and I'd want that in bursts anyway, I hate voice controls (at leas

Dark matter (matter that has mass but does not interact in any other way) might be the literal solution. But there are also other suggestions (MOND is a big one). The https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullet_Cluster is

My solution to this was to setup my laptop to boot in less than ten seconds. I could generally go from shut down to logged in with Obsidian, Firefox, and Anki open in about 30 seconds.

HS2 is more about NIMBYs and inefficiency than actual technical issues.

I think the prompt should be changed to commit to the joke a bit more. It keeps reminding me that it's ridiculous satire.

Perhaps it could be underground, either in an excavated area or a natural cave?

Falcon 9 launches every three days. It's not even fully reusable and it burns kerolox, requiring the engine be cleaned. I doubt they'll have that cadence ready for Starship within NASA's ambitious timeframe, but if they can g

100%. I see them conflated a lot, particularly outside of HN, and I think it really damages the discourse. Censorship for political or brand reasons (and I'm not making a moral judgement by my choice of language) is very different to a

I'm near Bristol. It's still absolutely stunning. It's not just to the north, either - it's everywhere.

I'm 18. I suspect this is related to attention span: Videos capture your attention far better and are more addictive. Additionally, while people can read, they're worryingly slow and they are so out of practice that the very act o

This seems like a really cool technology that also doesn't need much engineering to make it viable. Why isn't it already widespread?

I've had a serious head injury, though not from cycling. Hurting your limbs is painful and may cause you to lose mobility. Brain damage affects your very ego and ability to experience the world - permanently. I have a headache and fati

Thanks for the explanation, that's really useful. I'll keep it in mind when travelling. I'm curious, why Israel and Poland? Are a lot of eSIM providers from there?

Interesting. I was wondering why my recent show HN posts were significantly less successful than a (imo not as good) post on a similar topic the day before.

Weird. Ah well, there are plenty of other projects to work on.

Do you have any idea why this post died while the other one ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39477848 ) was quite successful? I'm curious. Also, what's the login/signup for on your site? It doesn't r
