Swish is always 2 SEK not matter the amount, for party-to-party without the "checkout" feature, it's always free - which is why private persons use it on fairs and markets.

And yes, it's a TINY amount. Stripe/Paypal charge several %

Re:Do Frameworks Matter Anymore? on Wednesday October 14, 2026 @07:10AM (#50085777)
API's matter - Language standard lib like Golang standards library or Browsers new(ish) Web Platforms API.

They'll be reliable and become faster over decades instead of being a "framework of the week" kind of thing and LLM's already know these from training.

The fee is 2 SEK ($0.2) per transaction - of course it's for tax evasion reasons, +25% extra margin makes a huge difference for a hair salon...
Looking at the posts on HN AI topics lately, this seem to be the depressing sentiment.

If something that previously took weeks for a human to design, now takes 10 min, that means a whole week of salary went up in smoke.

When have we automated enough?

That’s huge! how large are records on average? What kind of throughout do you get and on what hardware?

You realise that the country to the right of Sweden is Finland, who beat Russia against all odds before?

Why where they using kubernetes for this at all, it’s attack surface and config complexity is too large for anything that needs airgapped security. Yes, I know kubernetes used for large production deployments for web apps and that is my point, it’s not made for securing AI agents with insider access, it’s meant for securing outside access.

Re:Ask HN: What default model do you use and why? on Sunday September 13, 2026 @02:17AM (#49680593)
How much does it cost per month, which provider and what do you get out of it?

Those posts are so many now that I’m inclined to believe they’re all written by AI bots..

I’m on X for tech interest, new hardware, robotics, coding. If X didn’t allow blocking words/phrases, I could not use it! And yes, my blocklist is huge..
Re:Claude Fable 5.1 made me a nice animated pelican on Wednesday September 02, 2026 @01:46AM (#49532220)
That’s really impressive! I’d say even better than fable managed
TOPS seems to be low though, so fill rate is probably ~10x slower than a 4090.

Not only is it good - but the maintainer is active and really nice, helped me fix two bugs straight off the bat!
Re:LLMs reward expertise on Tuesday August 04, 2026 @01:16AM (#49164578)
The problem with lovable, from someone with insider knowledge, is that many of the apps existed even before appearing there and where ported to the platform to ride the hype wave.
My problem with DS flash/pro is that they don’t push back on obvious bullshit, both irl and code [0] but it’s a great implementer workhorse if you give it _very_ detailed specs.

Re:Why Software Factories Fail on Friday July 24, 2026 @12:49AM (#49031316)
Marketing was a problem with apps even before AI, which, with today’s slopforests makes it even harder for consumers to see any of your trees even if they wanted to.
That never works on Facebook though, because as soon as a ”friend” reports that ”I’m not me” then the account will be permanently banned. That also triggers for photos that’s not genuinely me, like a pet or drawing as portrait.

This isn’t the first time. I’m amazed at how they manage to fumble releases over and over …

USA is lawless and corruption is rampant, yet no one can stop it because individual consequences are too high.
Did someone actually pry a production cell open or is it more hearsay?
Does it matter when you can’t have the opus 4.8 guard rails removed? With GPT at least you can and they’re quick about it
So only when viewing the steam or also receiving in background? If in the background that means wiping the battery in no-time.
He is, the rich pay normal tax and in Sweden (~52-55% effective), includes extra tax on high income. Even dividend tax is 30%

Their oil terminals are getting blown up at a faster pace than oil prices are increasing.
This is true to a certain degree, you’ll be wrecked by reviews. If you’re a brand selling direct, then you’re cooked forever by bad reviews.
That’s my experience as well, if it’opus push back, it’s usually an actual issue with the code or prompt
Running the models is a tiny fraction of the cost. The cost is all on training the new models
My biggest issue with Devstral and even their biggest model is that they’re dangerous unless closely directed and reviewed and i mean CLOSELY. Unfortunately mistral models will believe and do anything.

See: https://petergpt.github.io/bullshit-benchmark/viewer/index.v...

See some of the test results, it’s horrifying
