goshx··on Tell HN: OpenAI now requires ID verification and won't refund API credits
Perhaps this was the reason behind the move.
goshx··on Nine things I learned in ninety years
One thing you will learn as you grow older is to recognize how ignorant and confident in our ignorance we were when we were younger.

Thanks for sharing this.
goshx··on The Sagrada Família takes its final shape
We have plenty of modern monuments, but they are different. Adding to your NYC examples, I see Little Island and the Vessel as monuments of their own leagues.

They also do some cool projections on the façade in December.

and trees inside as well, as the columns are meant to mimic a forest.
goshx··on AI coding
This kid is 35, by the way.
goshx··on I still love PHP and JavaScript (2022)
I just made a comment that made me realize that the complaints I heard in the early 2000’s about PHP are mostly the same as I heard today and they are all due to one thing: skill issues.

They need a language or IDE that can hold their hands. They need a code base that doesn’t require much thinking. This is all for good and for the better, BUT, they are all due to skill issues.

You hate PHP because you are not good enough to tame it.

goshx··on I still love PHP and JavaScript (2022)
Skill issue.
goshx··on I tried every todo app and ended up with a .txt file
I use Apple's native Notes.app

It is easy to create text with checkbox you can click on, and on macbook you can type fn + Q to open the floating Notes window, or use hot corners. It is automatically available on your iPhone as well, since it syncs.

goshx··on Food, housing, & health care costs are a source of major stress for many people
Publix is expensive. Even Walmart will save you a good amount.

thanks to HN

deceiving.
goshx··on Who has the fastest F1 website (2021)
Watching the Belgium Sprint Qualifying right now and found this post here.

Now I need to see the 2025 version!

goshx··on OpenAI for Countries
> We want to help these countries, and in the process, spread democratic AI, which means the development, use and deployment of AI that protects and incorporates long-standing democratic principles (…) Likewise, we believe that partnering closely with the US government is the best way to advance democratic AI.

The current US government? To protect “long-standing democratic principles”? Give me a break.

goshx··on Gemini 2.5 Flash
Same here! It is borderline stubborn at times and I need to prove it wrong. Still, it is the best model to use with Cursor, in my experience.
goshx··on The “S” in MCP Stands for Security
this is like saying “if anyone cared about security, they wouldn’t be pushing programming languages” since they essentially created the whole cybersecurity industry.
goshx··on Show HN: A terminal emulator in pure PHP
Kudos to you for taking all the heat and handling it gracefully.

Perhaps adding a screenshot or video to the README.md showing what it does could help people understand it better.

goshx··on OpenAI Audio Models
I see now. Thank you for clarifying. I thought this about ElevenLabs Conversational API.
goshx··on OpenAI Audio Models
OpenAI’s Realtime speech to speech is far superior than ElevenLabs.
goshx··on Tesla electric car sales plunge again in Australia – Model 3 down more than 81 p
I didn’t mean using both together. Teslas could be used for surveillance with their cameras and microphones.

Starlink is providing internet, so any of their users’ traffic could be monitored or access cut/manipulated.

goshx··on Tesla electric car sales plunge again in Australia – Model 3 down more than 81 p
He’s done before, so we can definitely expect something like this.
goshx··on Tesla electric car sales plunge again in Australia – Model 3 down more than 81 p
I agree. Nothing prevents the mad man from using Tesla cars and Starlink for surveillance.
goshx··on Zelensky leaves White House after angry meeting
That's what I suspect as well, especially with the tesla bots, but there is also Ellison's influence
goshx··on Zelensky leaves White House after angry meeting
Can we take the opportunity to discuss why Trump's administration is so desperately going after rare earth minerals? Greenland, Canada, Ukraine...

Is it only about chips and AI for economic reasons or is there more involved like, an army of robots or something to control everything?

goshx··on DOGE has 'god mode' access to government data
In a matter of days?
goshx··on DOGE has 'god mode' access to government data
I highly doubt they do due to the time Trump has been in government and the speed they had access to the systems and data.
goshx··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (February 2025)
That’s awesome! I’ve always wanted something similar like a Prezi presentation where you could navigate through different layers of the architecture down to the code.
goshx··on DOGE has 'god mode' access to government data
Don’t they need security clearances to do this?
goshx··on You're not a senior engineer until you've worked on a legacy project (2023)
also, you are not a senior engineer until you’ve worked long enough at the same job to deal with the consequences of your own past decisions.
