v5v3··on Ask HN: How do you find honest tech reviews?
Read the review carefully.

Often something will get 9/10 but the benchmark charts/measurements or mention of a relevant flaw will be included. Therby allowing reviewer to inform you whilst still maintaining a positive relationship with the manufacturer.

v5v3··on Car has more than 1.2M km on it – and it's still going strong

v5v3··on Getting good results from Claude Code
Same with other IDEs like cursor.

But Claude Code is a command line tool.

v5v3··on Getting good results from Claude Code
To be fair, if you turn on thinking mode on Llms and see the output their is some thinking/reasoning.

A simple example:

Prompt:Make it yellow

Think: the user wants something yellow but hasn't said what it is. Previously the user talked about creating a Button, so it must be the button but I should clarify by asking

Response: is it the button that you want yellow?

v5v3··on OpenFreeMap survived 100k requests per second
The article mentions Cloudflare, so how much of this was cached by them?
v5v3··on Why building a self-hosted SaaS is harder
Building a self-hosted SaaS is hard mainly because the variety of skills needed have been split into a series of distinct roles. Front end dev, backend dev, database admin, network engineer, DevOps etc

And so it requires an investment in time, which maybe 1year+, to learn a wider set of skills which many don't want to do

v5v3··on Ask HN: How can ChatGPT serve 700M users when I can't run one GPT-4 locally?
Trade secret?

With all the staff poaching the trade secrets may have now leaked?

v5v3··on AWS Restored My Account: The Human Who Made the Difference
This could have been worse if the person was tied into AWS's services.

As if all their code was geared to AWS services and they were banned, they couldn't easily deploy elsewhere without a re-write

I stick to to VMs/kubernetes and containers and VMs. No own brand services.

v5v3··on Food, housing, & health care costs are a source of major stress for many people
No. Actually should get more freezer space if possible. So can buy in bulk on offer and freeze.

You clearly have never been broke and are clueless!!!

v5v3··on Food, housing, & health care costs are a source of major stress for many people
There are times when I have been broke and just meant I ate more plainly.

20kg sack of rice is cheap and lasts a while. Flour is cheap. Eggs are cheap Potatoes Canned tuna

Etc

A lot of those who complain about groceries could swap out what they would rather have until times improve.

v5v3··on High costs and thin margins threatening AI coding startups
In some industries you can and some you can't. Particularly if to another country.

For example China was accused of Steel Dumping.

v5v3··on High costs and thin margins threatening AI coding startups
>cost of only serving paid users (free users etc. go in either cac or r&d).

Then they should ideally be quoting margins for both Inc and exc free.

DeepSeek and Qwen would pay as much wouldn't they? With the blessings of the state as AI is strategic
v5v3··on New executive order puts all grants under political control
Welcome. And have a lovely day my friend.
v5v3··on New executive order puts all grants under political control
You joined this website 3 minutes ago just to post that?

v5v3··on New executive order puts all grants under political control
Then why are all the Chinese origin AI Devs working in USA?
v5v3··on Exit Tax: Leave Germany before your business gets big
Germany is a smaller country with 70 million people or so. USA has multiples of that at 300million people or so.

Many companies will float in New York but also have secondary listings in their home country.

If they created a single EU wide stock market it would compete much better.

v5v3··on High costs and thin margins threatening AI coding startups
Anysphere in that article = Cursor

(I was confused as to why so much of the article mentioned a company called Anysphere who I had not heard of. So looked it up and it's the company name)

v5v3··on Exit Tax: Leave Germany before your business gets big
Not necessarily.

As USA is the main destination for IPO, wouldn't many German companies naturally leave?

Also once you are successful you can afford to pay the costs to arrange the companies affairs in a tax efficient manner e.g. utilise low tax regions with the EU such as Luxembourg and wider world.

v5v3··on GPT-5 for Developers
People find time for things they seem important to them.
v5v3··on GPT-5
The live stream just has Altman interviewing a lady who was diagnosed 3 different cancers.

GPT4 gave her better response than doctors she said.

v5v3··on Apple announces American Manufacturing Program
Lesser of two evils?
v5v3··on Did Craigslist decimate newspapers? Legend meets reality
Craigslists secret sauce was also that eBay bought Gumtree and let it stagnate.

Probably deliberately so, as it was cannibalising eBay.

v5v3··on Gemini CLI GitHub Actions
Isn't there not a trademark issue over naming it Gemini CLI GitHub Actions?

As Microsoft own GitHub and it's a competitor.

v5v3··on Ultra-processed foods make up more than 60% of us kids' diets
Is it because its an average and the Gwyneth Paltrows have 0%.

If they broke it down to demographics then would show a divide depending on income/education levels, area and so on.

v5v3··on Zero-day flaws in authentication, identity, authorization in HashiCorp Vault
Going by the naming, this was reported to Hashicorp prior to 10th June?

And as it's now August, is it redacted as not fixed yet? Why not

CVE-2025-6010 - [REDACTED]

v5v3··on Apple announces American Manufacturing Program
A president was elected on a very specific mandate.

Aside from a few things, Trump did say what he was going to do. And that included Tariffs and pressuring US companies to move manufacturing home.

It's what the people voted for and Apple knows this.

v5v3··on Zero-day flaws in authentication, identity, authorization in HashiCorp Vault
Fantastic work guys. Thank you.
v5v3··on Apple announces American Manufacturing Program
Only items sold in America may need to be made in America?

So India/ China can supply other markets?
