gambutin··on Apple's accidental moat: How the "AI Loser" may end up winning
That’s actually by design. Apple never jumps on the tech hype bandwagon.

they wait until the dust settles before making their well-thought-out moves.

Every time they’ve jumped the hype train too quickly it hasn’t worked out, like Siri for example.

gambutin··on Internet outage in Iran reaches 1,008 hours
If only they had internet so that we could ask them!
gambutin··on Internet outage in Iran reaches 1,008 hours
That’s interesting. Could they somehow do peer-to-peer anonymously until the packages reach the border?
gambutin··on Internet outage in Iran reaches 1,008 hours
Is there a reasonable workaround for this?

Noteworthy: It’s not that no one in Iran has no access. Actually some have internet access via “white SIM cards” (1). Reportedly 50,000 or so.

Essentially, they’ve created a two-tier system controlling who can access the internet.

gambutin··on Iran threatens 'complete and utter annihilation' of OpenAI's $30B Stargate
An evil regime requires a constant “evil” enemy to justify its own existence.
gambutin··on US and Iran agree to provisional ceasefire
Let’s discuss this again in two weeks. I suggest.

This ceasefire will defuse the global economy’s tensions. That’s its sole purpose.

It’s unlikely they’ll find enough common ground for a lasting agreement.

gambutin··on US and Iran agree to provisional ceasefire
Over the past few months their oil facilities have been heavily attacked. It’s hard to believe they’re actually making a big profit from this in the short term.
gambutin··on F-15E jet shot down over Iran
So, by your definition, Hamas is also included, right?
gambutin··on F-15E jet shot down over Iran
People usually link to a comment if they genuinely want the other person to read it.

Your vague reference to a thread elsewhere suggests you’re avoiding a proper argument.

Calling me names too btw.

Perhaps your hatred for Israel has clouded your judgement about the suffering caused elsewhere.

How many do you think were killed?
gambutin··on F-15E jet shot down over Iran
If the number of deaths in the protests is above zero, how many were killed?
gambutin··on F-15E jet shot down over Iran
What number suits you best?

So are you saying no one was killed during the protests in January?
gambutin··on Show HN: We're building an AI hedge fund
Are you hedging against the AI bubble?
gambutin··on Improving my focus by giving up my big monitor
Being able to de-focus is actually quite useful.

Imagine sitting through those lengthy team calls and having to concentrate on BS for 1-2 hours.

Nah, I’d rather focus on getting things done in the meantime.

gambutin··on AI got the blame for the Iran school bombing. The truth is more worrying
Which makes me even more sad to be honest.

You conveniently deleted the second part of that sentence.

I feel very bad for the children and their relatives. What happened is really terrible.

I wish there was the same level of rigour and energy applied to investigating the 40,000 deaths in early January. There are countless videos online.

I simply don’t understand why 150 people receive so much attention while 40,000 don’t.

This saddens me because it feels like the focus is on who was responsible rather than who lost their lives.

How is this a useful comment?

Don’t worry. The Saudis and UAE will happily pay all costs of the war.
gambutin··on Iran launched unsuccessful attack on UK's Diego Garcia
Thank you.
gambutin··on Iran launched unsuccessful attack on UK's Diego Garcia
Have you ever been in Iran? Do you know any Iranians and have you talked to them recently?

Do you know what Khomeini did to his fellow leftist who toppled the Shah?

gambutin··on Iran launched unsuccessful attack on UK's Diego Garcia
How many years are you willing to go back?

Return West-Poland to Germany? Return Spain to the Arabs?

gambutin··on Iran launched unsuccessful attack on UK's Diego Garcia
Iranian kids have been chanting death to Israel and death to USA for 47 years now. They’ve been waiting for this.
gambutin··on Iran launched unsuccessful attack on UK's Diego Garcia
Ayatollah Khomeini admitted that he had lied about plans to make Iran democratic.

This practice is known as taqqiya. It’s ok to lie if you’re deceiving the enemy.

gambutin··on Large-Scale Online Deanonymization with LLMs
How would "flooding the zone" actually work in that case?

AFAIK the strategy is usually used to divert attention from one subject that could be harmful to a person to some other stuff.

Wouldn’t spamming in that case provide more information about you?

Is there a deployment of this tool so that I test it on myself?

EDIT: please someone build this, vibe-code it. Thanks
