CryptoBanker··on ZuckOff is a free app that sees Meta glasses before they see you

Feels like it's been pretty obvious that they have been for a while now
CryptoBanker··on Show HN: Reame – a CPU inference server that gets faster as it runs
If you have good luck perhaps. That tier of server is virtually always sold out
CryptoBanker··on Hetzner Price Adjustment
Contabo is still notably cheaper than it was 2 years ago. I just shut down a 2 year old VPS and made a new one because it was ~20% cheaper than it was two years ago, and I also get more CPU and more RAM

Good
CryptoBanker··on Siri AI

This has been a problem on iOS since the dawn of time and has nothing to do with AI

CryptoBanker··on DeepSeek makes the V4 Pro price discount permanent
Opencode absolutely will show you. You just have to toggle “Expand Reasoning”
CryptoBanker··on War game exposed U.S. vulnerability to low-tech warfare
> If you hit its radar systems and/or damage the surface enough that landing becomes impossible, it becomes a sitting duck.

Both of these statements are wrong. Carriers generally rely on the radar systems of their escorts and their early warning aircraft much more than their own systems.

Similarly, even if the landing deck was damaged, again the carrier's escorts are its primary defense

CryptoBanker··on A message from President Kornbluth about funding and the talent pipeline
Please use some line breaks. I find this extremely difficult to read
CryptoBanker··on Today I've made the difficult decision to reduce the size of Coinbase by ~14%
> This has always been the case where I work, long before AI.

And surely the place you work hired with this in mind. Many places have not, and yet now expect PMs who haven’t coded in years, or in many cases not at all, to contribute to their products’ codebases.

CryptoBanker··on Kimi K2.6 just beat Claude, GPT-5.5, and Gemini in a coding challenge
You’d be surprised with some long running complex tasks. I’ve seen Kimi spend 8 minutes (total) thinking on a task that Claude got done in 30 seconds. They both ultimately got it right, but Kimi spent ~$2.25 to Claude’s ~$0.20

> You can't build a business on per-seat subscriptions when you advertise making workers obsolete.

On the other hand I would argue that most workers' salaries are more like subscriptions than API type pricing (which would be more like an hourly contractor)

It does unless you opt out
CryptoBanker··on SpaceX says it has agreement to acquire Cursor for $60B

Irrelevant when such things are clearly the dream of Altman and his ilk.
CryptoBanker··on Walmart: ChatGPT checkout converted 3x worse than website
There’s a difference between being interested in getting good at something and being good at something
CryptoBanker··on Tech hobbyist makes shoulder-mounted guided missile prototype with $96 in parts
I disagree. A missile without guidance is a rocket which definitely has its uses on the battlefield.

A missile without propulsion is at best a bomb which doesn't do much good without an aircraft to drop it from

CryptoBanker··on Ryugu asteroid samples contain all DNA and RNA building blocks
The Redditors have arrived
CryptoBanker··on $96 3D-printed rocket that recalculates its mid-air trajectory using a $5 sensor
In the two test launches shown in the video, the "missile" doesn't fly straight nor does it demonstrate ability to be "guided" by the launcher towards any particular target.

It's also incredibly slow. There are children's rocket kits that fly significantly faster than this.

CryptoBanker··on DOJ to Allow Hiring of US Prosecutors Straight Out of Law School
These kids won't be arguing before the Supreme Court though. They'll be taking the losses at the lower levels
CryptoBanker··on Big data on the cheapest MacBook
> That c8i.4xlarge would cost you $246/mo at current spot pricing of $0.3425/hr, which is, what, 20% of the cost of that M1 Max MBP?

A 5 month ROI on a hardware investment would be excellent, so not sure what you're trying to say here?

CryptoBanker··on MacBook Neo
They tricked you. $40/month over two years is still $960 - definitely still luxury.
CryptoBanker··on GPT‑5.3 Instant
I'd agree - even in claude-code it's always trying to search for very basic documentation that, when prompted, it admits that it already has
CryptoBanker··on Nano Banana 2: Google's latest AI image generation model
> When I watch a movie, I don't care about the artist's life. I care about character life, that's very different.

I’m fairly certain the original comment was referring to instances where the artist is the character/primary subject.

CryptoBanker··on If AI makes human labor obsolete, who decides who gets to eat?
The poor will realize that they can eat the rich
CryptoBanker··on Hetzner Prices increase 30-40%
