Re:Anthropic Subscriptions Offer 5x+ More Value Than OpenAI on Tuesday October 06, 2026 @06:33AM (#49976584)
I wonder how subscription breakage (people who pay, but don't use a fraction of their subscribe-for-paid-token-count) plays into the frontier labs gross margins. A number we will likely understand if/when they go public and something users can track locally if they choose.

I pissed off a crow once, not a good idea. It got its revenge and it was crazy how its murder group would destroy my property. Luckily they have moved on but I make friends with them now and understand them much better.

Log all codas to a blockchain (with actual audio) would be cool. I like how this researcher only releases peer reviewed data and doesn't over-promise. Very cool. I think most of knew this was happening but could never prove it like he has.

Re:What is going on with ceiling fans on Monday October 05, 2026 @05:39AM (#49962630)
I had 3 big ass fans in one of my offices and when I would turn them on full speed, i would make sure people weren't under them. It was a cool party trick but fans at speed can be a little distracting.
Re:Remove and Disable Apple Macos27 AI Models Tool on Monday October 05, 2026 @05:37AM (#49962613)
I am so done with Apple.

I went from pre windows operating systems -> Slackware -> Apple as my main squeeze in 2001 since it was based on BSD -> And in 2026 I'm back to Linux full time. Apple's Intelligence is so bad, their operating system SO BLOATED, and their products SO LOCKED DOWN, they no longer fit my digital needs. Good bye Apple, I really don't miss you.

I'm surprised with all the retired software guys going into something interesting like this. Def up my alley.
I'm so happy I didn't throw away my old laptops...

I remember watching him on PBS. There was something great about turning on the TV and finding someone who thought computers, and the people behind them, were interesting enough to spend a whole evening on. Sorta rare at that time.
Agreed, this works really well for me. Double check the math/python, execute many times without a LLM that can change o

This is awesome. I did the same, sshwars.com [NSFW]. Mine is def not as graphic cool as yours but different game play.

OP: Amazing ascii world! I love old school terminal style everything.

This is great. I have a COCOT myself with an ATA adapter. So so much fun, great job!
Re:NFC Energy-Harvesting PCB Business Card with an MCU on Sunday August 30, 2026 @11:40PM (#49505323)
Okay, I really like this, but I found your Easter egg, and it plays to my Ham Radio heart.
Thanks, but I suck at hacker news and this already got deleted. Oh well.
Compared to what I use, this does everything a paid service does and more (including the ability to see exactly what happened with verbose logging, custom removal, built in dashboard, etc).

After using a paid service, I don't know of anything they do that this repo doesn't.
