I just entered same number 5-6 times and it never caught it up.

100% agreed. When I ask to generate an image or a poster with an indic language, chatgpt and claude always make gibberish words for something that is not at the center but gemini nails it almost every time in first attempt.

>America is a hostile nation, who has sought to align everyone with its interests, under a false pretense of mutual benefit, while instead its tech sector has caused much harm at a global scale. America is now doubling down on value extraction, at an obvious expense to everyone else.

In India, recently, a bill was passed that can permit banks and the government to add charges on UPI transactions. UPI is one of the biggest digital payment systems in the world, and it was free until now. Insider information from multiple news sources suggests that this was done because of pressure from the US.

Judging from what I am reading about PIX capabilities, UPI can do everything. It can also allow you to make merchant payments from Rupay credit cards. It also supports automatic recurring payments.

I have installed Zorin on my parent's 10 year old computer. They use it for browsing the internet and some video calls. Zorin works like a charm, and they have not had any major issues.

Re:Physics of badminton's new killer spin serve on Saturday August 23, 2025 @11:34PM (#45001127)
It takes some practice, but not as much as you’d think. I learned this serve last year at a somewhat intermediate level. It took me about two weeks of practice to hit it consistently. Now I hit it clean about 50 to 60% of the time.

Linode does not have any way to identify cross regional latency. So created this. In process of adding new regions now.

Have same issue. The above solution did not resolve the issue. It doesn't bother me much because I mostly use Firefox, but it causes problems when I'm testing front-end stuff on Safari.
Re:Ask HN: What's your preferred logging stack in Kubernetes on Monday July 22, 2024 @01:18AM (#41031118)
What kind of issues that you see where you have to step in and intervene? We have been running Loki for a long time, and it barely requires any manual intervention apart from version upgrades.
Re:Ask HN: What's your preferred logging stack in Kubernetes on Monday July 22, 2024 @01:12AM (#41031098)
Self-hosted Loki + Traces using Tempo + Grafana.
