Re:Hello Toronto – Waymo Is En Route on Friday October 16, 2026 @05:23PM (#50124968)
anecdotal but waymo was flawless. zenlike music. safe driving. Vs recent uber getting a lot of invasive personal questions from drivers, weird smells, only reason chose is it was half of waymos cost. Even at double the cost might just chose waymo next time.

Re:New York Passes Tax on the Ultra-Wealthy on Thursday May 28, 2026 @04:20PM (#48314876)
Against all new tax. It's spent too inefficiently. Why does there need to be more New York Learing Centers. Would you keep adding buckets of water into a leaky boat or try to patch where it's leaking first?

Is this prevented by physics or cost or just no one has the motivation?

The title doesn't mention a time horizon it states what was used which it was. This is not misleading.
the problem is what if the victim fights back, then they might be misconstrued as the bully and get caned.
aren't most installers like 10 mb then downloads when run? that's way more then 5x
i ran prompts used up a ton of usage, and got no return just showed error.

Asked support hey i got nothing back i tried prompting several times used a ton of usage and it gave no response. I'd just like usage back. What I payed for I never got.

Just bot response we don't do refunds no exceptions. Even in the case they don't serve you what your plan should give you.

Re:The Myth of the ThinkPad on Friday January 16, 2026 @01:10AM (#46643511)
TIL Thinkpads are New Balance of Laptops

I see it differently then UX at all. I find the need for better customer support 1000x more pertinent to helping users.
You can use your eyes and rapidly "scan" troves of data as well to deep train your own personal model of self. You can observe and soak up ideas and iterate them as well. You can access any publicly facing data as well.

Hope to see more "red alert" status from the ai wars putting companies into al hands on deck. This is only helping cost of tokens and efficacy. As always competition only helps the end users.
Re:GPT-5.2 on Thursday December 11, 2025 @01:21PM (#46234974)
Everything is still based on 4 4o still right? is a new model training just too expensive? They can consult deepseek team maybe for cost constrained new models.

Re:Kan.bn – An open-source alterative to Trello on Monday June 02, 2025 @10:08AM (#44159018)
trello has gotten worse and worse actually could charge for features like n8n and more extensibility. Its gotten the opposite of kanban and zen where I just want clean cards it forces weird views and panels and overlays and difficult to find boards now it wants you to switch to other atlassian products from trello as a priority on the left over just trello unfortunately its the classic indie product amazing then eaten by Private equity until just crumbs are left and its just an acquisition vehicle until it turns rotten and shut down as a cost saver.
its also seo linkjuice as they are links
