v5v3··on Ask HN: Why does YC care what tech stack I use?
>By ten years of experience, you should probably have used all the major tech stacks in your area of expertise. If you're BE, probably Go, Node, Rails, Django, Spring, maybe even PHP. If mobile you should be able to use native, capacitor, PWA, Flutter, React Native, maybe KMP. And so on.

That's not real life.

Most Devs get a job and learn a stack and then they stay in that stack unless there is a reason to change

Most BE will know one of either Java or .Net or Python. As that is what most corporates use.

v5v3··on Airbnb guest says images were altered with AI in false £12,000 damage claim
>The man who complained about her is listed as a “superhost” on Airbnb, which the site says is someone who is experienced and highly rated. He did not respond to a request for comment.

Airbnb said he had been warned for violating its terms and told he would be removed if there was another similar report. The company told him that it could not verify the images he submitted as part of his complaint.

So Airbnb concluded he attempted fraud. But refused to terminate him as a host.

Mullvad VPN takes cash, you post it to them.
v5v3··on Apple lacks strategic vision
Airpods were many years ago, as was the MacBook pro redesign.

CEOs are judged on today. Past achievements are past achievements and he was paid handsomely for it.

Tim Cook is a money guy. Saving money by reducing per device licensing costs via creating own chips and also now their own modems is a money guys domain.

Hardware and software innovation is another skill.

Tim Cook wasn't appointed on his ability to innovate. But he needs to ensure he has individuals who can do so, and that there aren't layers of management or himself obstructing them.

Those of you saying OCR and Vision LLM are missing the point.

v5v3··on Ask HN: How do you avoid job hunting burnout?
>Most applications I don't even get a resume screen rejection email.

Does your CV contain all the keywords that a job lists as essential?

As most CVs pass through software (ATS) that auto rejects any that don't match up.

v5v3··on Tell HN: Google Maps reviews in Germany are basically dead
Defamation is when you say something you knew to be false.

Leaving a review that is honest is absolutely fine.

v5v3··on Tell HN: Google Maps reviews in Germany are basically dead
Trustpilot is a long running website that does reviews by customers.

So it can be done.

>This all started for me about three years ago, when I left a Google review for a doctor saying I felt discriminated against. Shortly after, I got slapped with a legal threat demanding €40,000 in damages. I ended up settling and paying €1,000 in legal fees just to avoid the nightmare of going to court.

Can you post the review you wrote? (Minus the company name) As unless you wrote it very badly, not sure why you backed down.

It's the high cost of the legal system that allows large companies with deeper pockets to bully small suppliers.

v5v3··on Anthropic revokes OpenAI's access to Claude
>Nulty says that Anthropic will “continue to ensure OpenAI has API access for the purposes of benchmarking and safety evaluations as is standard practice across the industry.”

This is, ultimately, a great PR move by Anthropic. 'We are so good Open Ai uses us over their own'

They know full well OpenAI can just sign up again, but not under an official OpenAi account.

v5v3··on MacBook Pro Insomnia
One thing to note is that FindMyMac works as the Mac wakes up when asleep and so updates it's location.

If you lose your Mac and power settings are too stringent, location may not show up.

v5v3··on Show HN: Price Per Token – LLM API Pricing Data
Same.

Not a site if value unless it contains whole of the market.

v5v3··on Celebrating 20 Years of MDN
How has traffic to MDM changed over the years?
