Q: Who won the 2020 election?

A: Joseph R. Biden Jr. won the 2020 U.S. presidential election.

sp4cec0wb0y··on Tracking Costco gas prices
Tbf, the U.S isn't the globe.
sp4cec0wb0y··on Canceling "Hey"
"your neighborhood is taken over by migrants" is a wild way of saying "associated with criminal behavior". This is yikes and so is your analysis.
sp4cec0wb0y··on Canceling "Hey"
People like you always say to vote with your wallets until people start doing that.
sp4cec0wb0y··on Claude Opus 5
They just released a 'fable-like' (sol as well) model for a fraction of the cost...
sp4cec0wb0y··on Claude Code May–July 2026 weekly limits promotion
Wonder what is going to happen when these companies can no longer subsidize their models and they have to hike up the prices.
sp4cec0wb0y··on Astro 7.0
Unlike cpp /s
sp4cec0wb0y··on Anthropic employees accuse Trump administration of targeting them
And the supreme court is unregulated (except for appointment and impeachment).
sp4cec0wb0y··on Zig → Rust porting guide
....you were saying?
sp4cec0wb0y··on NASA just released 12k more pictures from Artemis II mission
They should tell their devs about pagination lol
sp4cec0wb0y··on US special forces soldier arrested after allegedly winning $400k on Maduro raid
This only the first and only arrest. There are countless instances of high volume bets being places before the Iran war strikes began. This white house is corrupt.
sp4cec0wb0y··on Drunk post: Things I've learned as a senior engineer (2021)
I can shoot you an invite. Email me.
sp4cec0wb0y··on Drunk post: Things I've learned as a senior engineer (2021)
LOL. I worked for a big wine company out in Sonoma (doing software). A lot of people I knew solo-drink wine.
sp4cec0wb0y··on F-35 is built for the wrong war
> Russia is not fighting Ukraine, it is fighting NATO in Ukraine.

If that is the case they are doing a poor job at doing so, without even fighting the full might of NATO.

sp4cec0wb0y··on The Claude Code Source Leak: fake tools, frustration regexes, undercover mode
Yep:

> It's basically

> Anthropic doesn't just ask

> The fix? `MAX_CONSECUTIVE_AUTOCOMPACT_FAILURES = 3`

> Not a push-button bypass, but

The irony in saying "this is what I found" when an AI found it, not you.

sp4cec0wb0y··on 72% of the dollar's purchasing power was destroyed in just four episodes
Thank you for your faith in HN, anal reactor.
sp4cec0wb0y··on My astrophotography in the movie Project Hail Mary
Did you sell the rights the image exclusively or will you be able to sell those images as prints?

Jazz hands

sp4cec0wb0y··on Slovenian officials blame Israeli firm Black Cube for trying to manipulate vote
Tell my fellow Americans this too.
sp4cec0wb0y··on Having Kids (2019)
This is an easy perspective to have if you are of the generation that got into a home purchase before they went out of control. Gen Z is being priced out of creating families.

Hacker news has a bias because most people here are working in software and probably make more than the median household income (solo).

sp4cec0wb0y··on A Visual Introduction to Machine Learning (2015)
Did they not have mobile responsive sites in 2015? Lol
sp4cec0wb0y··on Oracle may slash up to 30k jobs to fund AI data-centers as US banks retreat
Ever heard of JDE?
sp4cec0wb0y··on Labor market impacts of AI: A new measure and early evidence
My speed shipping software increased but so did the demands of features by my company.
sp4cec0wb0y··on OpenAI raises $110B on $730B pre-money valuation
Yeah and who is going to foot the bill when this comes crumbling down?
sp4cec0wb0y··on OpenAI raises $110B on $730B pre-money valuation
How many of those users are paying? Where is the profit? How many users will be willing to use ChatGPT if they had to pay? Might have to pull out the questions like its 2026.
sp4cec0wb0y··on Hetzner Prices increase 30-40%
You guys got a notification??? I did not receive one.
sp4cec0wb0y··on Ex-GitHub CEO launches a new developer platform for AI agents
I am struggling to see what the details are other than high-level concepts. Perhaps a demo would be useful!
sp4cec0wb0y··on Ex-GitHub CEO launches a new developer platform for AI agents
This guy was the ex-ceo of GitHub and can't bother to communicate his product in a single announcement post?
sp4cec0wb0y··on Matrix messaging gaining ground in government IT
Well personally, I like to have organized chat rooms or "channels". Matrix is closer to a user friendly IRC client. Signal is great for group chats but some people are looking to have organized chat rooms for their friends.

Someone will eventually ask "why not just use IRC?" and the answer is simply: Would your non-tech-inclined friends enjoy doing that?

sp4cec0wb0y··on Matrix messaging gaining ground in government IT
On a related note, Discord recently announced ID verification for users. Matrix might become a viable option for those who want to opt out of Discord for their "circles" of friends.
sp4cec0wb0y··on Data centers in space makes no sense
Ground-based data centers will always be cheaper. There is no advantage in space that makes it worth spending more.
