jgbuddy··on Nintendo announces price increases for Nintendo Switch 2
Funny the European and US models have the same price. effectively a 20% discount buying it in europe.
jgbuddy··on Chevrolet Performance eCrate package (400v/200hp)
Even if someone could buy this off she shelf and install themselves- I don't see a single use case that would make this cool at this power level (eg. EV conversions- 200hp is slow in almost anything!)
jgbuddy··on An update on recent Claude Code quality reports
Anthropic actually not so bad. Anthropic models code good, usually. Price not so high compared to time to do it by self.
jgbuddy··on Tesla Cybertruck sales inflated: SpaceX bought 1,279 units
What would the alternative have been? Not reporting that they were purchased at all?

The premise here seems to be that spacex purchased the trucks for the sole purpose of inflating the tesla reporting, which of course makes no sense from a business perspective

jgbuddy··on A Python Interpreter Written in Python
one liner:

eval(str)

jgbuddy··on Expanding Swift's IDE Support
This is huge, long time coming. Interested to see if there is SwiftUI support.
jgbuddy··on Qwen3.6-Plus: Towards real world agents
Well don't we have numbers from both models on these benchmarks already? What else is there to do except include them in the table?
jgbuddy··on A forecast of the fair market value of SpaceX's businesses
Bingo!
jgbuddy··on A forecast of the fair market value of SpaceX's businesses
Were people overpaying 30% for tesla in 2010?
jgbuddy··on Qwen3.6-Plus: Towards real world agents
Worth noting that this model, unlike almost all qwen models, is not open-weight, nor is the parameter count exposed. Also odd that it is compared against opus 4.5 even though 4.6 was released like 2 months ago.
jgbuddy··on Apple at 50
Agreed
jgbuddy··on I built an AI receptionist for a mechanic shop
As with any AI post lol
jgbuddy··on HP trialed mandatory 15-minute support call wait times (2025)
This is unfortunately how companies die
jgbuddy··on Show HN: Calyx – Ghostty-Based macOS Terminal with Liquid Glass UI
Is this a joke
jgbuddy··on The purpose of Continuous Integration is to fail
This is of course true as a blanket "gotcha" headline- although I wouldn't call a failed test the CI itself failing. A real failure would be a false positive, a pass where there wasn't coverage, or a failure when there was no breaking change. Covering all of these edge cases can become as tiresome as maintaining the application in the first place (of course this is a generalization)
jgbuddy··on Create value for others and don’t worry about the returns
Lol AI is not search. I will never wrap my head around the pessimism of AI on HN
jgbuddy··on Ask HN: How to be alone?
Damn this thread is a gold mine. Wishing you the best. My advice is to prioritize health and exercise and spend time outside somewhere you can run into new interesting people. build a circle
jgbuddy··on Where things stand with the Department of War
this paid off so well for anthropic and so poorly for sam altman. Optics are everything- look at the comments of the cbs interview.
jgbuddy··on MacBook Neo
Interested to see how 8gb of ram holds up here.
jgbuddy··on Mac mini will be made at a new facility in Houston
Isn't that the whole point of the tariff? To incentivize US investment?
jgbuddy··on UK to force social media to remove abusive pics in 48 hours
So any flagged item must be removed by law?
jgbuddy··on DOGE Bro's Grant Review Process Was Literally Just Asking ChatGPT 'Is This DEI?'
Simple, cheap and fast
jgbuddy··on UK to force social media to remove abusive pics in 48 hours
I wonder how 'abusive' is categorized. By some committee maybe?
jgbuddy··on France dumps Zoom and Teams as Europe seeks digital autonomy from the US
It's all fun and games until there's an outage, nothing screams efficient like a state-owned tech company
jgbuddy··on Claude Code's renderer is more complex than a game engine
Agreed
jgbuddy··on Euro firms must ditch Uncle Sam's clouds and go EU-native
I disagree on what’s needed for a ‘healthy society’ but maybe that’s subjective
jgbuddy··on Euro firms must ditch Uncle Sam's clouds and go EU-native
What? Storing encrypted data doesn’t mean you have to encrypt it on hardware you don’t own
jgbuddy··on Euro firms must ditch Uncle Sam's clouds and go EU-native
Most blob storage is encrypted. S3 is by default.
jgbuddy··on Euro firms must ditch Uncle Sam's clouds and go EU-native
Thus is probably more about the EU having access to eu data than not having the US have access to EU data. Also it’s not like it’s impossible to encrypt things when you store them? This article is more political than logical or technical, it’s unfortunate that government control / intervention in the free market to this degree can be spun into something positive.
jgbuddy··on Self Driving Car Insurance
> and then one sees that the primary purpose of most automations is to obscure responsibility.

Are you saying that the investments in FSD by tesla have been with the goal of letting drivers get a way with accidents? The law is black and white
