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 something decent left?

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

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 before and after versions of certain files. So

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're simply informing Liberty there wi

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 this planned transition for 17 years. Invoking the data

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. It's a perennial problem

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 something I can use to even tinker with AI wit

...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. There may even be a collaborative effort between the two st

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 less profitable.

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 gets reposted 2, 3, 4 times unti

Oracle, to my knowledge, does not profit at all off of the JavaScript name or brand. I don't see the purpose of defending this lawsuit. They have an opportunity to create some goodwill here, hold a press release, and say "We&#x2
