Solid approach, although I’ve certainly seen many managers/staff that never actually break out of Phase 2

It’s critical to start showing some Phase 3 impact, even if not with a sledgehammer, before peers quickly loose faith

Such a shame they didn't do anything with Braintree years ago and just let it rot

Re:OpenAI resets spending expectations, from $1.4T to $600B on Tuesday February 24, 2026 @04:05PM (#47143030)
Even if it’s not exponential, I still can’t see logic in it going to zero.

Based on what? Each model so far has been noticeably better than the last, so I don’t see why the next wouldn’t be too?
Still a fraction of the cost of most other providers, and wouldn't shock me if we see the others all doing something similar.
Re:OpenClaw (ClawdBot) joins OpenAI on Sunday February 15, 2026 @05:00PM (#47028084)
Exactly the same as the OpenCode drama, at this point OpenAI are just getting free customers from common sense.

Anthropic seem oddly focused on their moat being the app, rather than the underlying intelligence and model. Which is odd when Claude Claude is no better than all the other harnesses.

Re:OpenClaw (ClawdBot) joins OpenAI on Sunday February 15, 2026 @04:48PM (#47027954)
Amazing how bad Anthropic can miss the boat on this
Interesting that it’s seasonal, I guess tax season?
Re:Opus 4.5 is the first model that makes me fear for my job on Sunday December 14, 2025 @04:06PM (#46266890)
Not sure I’d be worried for my job, but it’s legitimately a significant jump in capabilities, even if other models attempt to fudge higher bench results

Also wondering, why not just use DPDK?
It’s boggles my mind that enterprises or SaaS wouldn’t be following release cycles of new models to improve their service and/or cost. Although I guess there’s enterprises that don’t do OS upgrades or pathing too, just alien to me.
Re:GPT-5 on Thursday August 07, 2025 @01:21PM (#44827384)
Wow, they are sunsetting all models after the launch of GPT-5 - Bold statement.
Same background as me, however I moved into cellular/mobile - not really any official routes I know of in the industry, certainly not like a Cisco track.

Typical route is work at a Telco or IoT company as Network Eng or Developer and naturally pivot into telco learning on the job.

Vendors will run training courses when you buy their kit which helps a little, but it’s mostly self learning or on the job.

They've got planned changes in Sydney/Toyko ongoing, so could be fat finger moment with routing.

Re:Ask HN: Do You Use a Debugger? on Saturday March 09, 2024 @03:13PM (#39654401)
Yes I do in .Net C#, never bothered in typescript
Being pragmatic you’re not going to convince every Mobile network vendor to implement a new protocol, and then have every mobile operator invest in replacing their cores to support it, all in the name of a better solution.
Services like this are actively in use by most Banks/ATMs around the world on most mobile carriers, just via creative but common reusing of long standing mobile/telco protocols.

GSMA are actively attempting to lockdown them existing methods, as they’re built on trust in a very untrustworthy environment between carriers, and in some cases state actors.

Sure on the face of it this isn’t brilliant to the average HN reader, but with context it’s a significant improvement vs where we are today.

Re:Ask HN: Co-founder equity split methods? on Wednesday July 12, 2023 @04:46PM (#36701423)
Assume your friend does no more than a day a week, and in 5 years you’re worth a huge sum on money - what percentage do you think would fairly reflect his reward, that’s the percentage you should give now.

If you give 5% for example, there’s no reason you can’t give more in time based on increased input, but don’t give something you’ll regret in the future.

You’ve done the right thing proxying the request back to your client.

As a basic example I’d read how GitHub manage DCMA and follow a similar process - I.e. validate the request has enough detail, pass back to your client for action/response, and act accordingly.

More often than not a lot of DCMA requests are fair too vague and lacking detail you can simply reject them, based on my experience at least.

I expect location and size/type of business (faang, startup, etc) may give wildly different answers, on top of experience
