650REDHAIR··on Unsafe and Unpredictable: My Volvo EX90 Experience
Volvo hasn’t been a reliable brand since ~2000 when it was sold to Ford. Even less reliable when it was sold to Geely.

They’ve essentially skated by on brand recognition earned decades ago.

650REDHAIR··on Ask HN: What's Your Useful Local LLM Stack?
Why was this flagged?
650REDHAIR··on Meta Battles an 'Epidemic of Scams' as Criminals Flood Instagram and Facebook
I was perma-banned on Reddit for “abusing” the report feature.

Reporting illegal firearms sales.

The post and report in question were ~6mo old at the time of review and I believe had already been deleted by either the OP or a sub mod.

I got a similar warning (but no ban) reporting similar sales on FB.

They don’t care to fix it

650REDHAIR··on O3 beats a master-level GeoGuessr player, even with fake EXIF data
Yes? It’s fun.

Thank you for sharing this link!

I was about to slog through AI search results looking for an alternative.

650REDHAIR··on US Marines to get high-speed, radar-evading electric seagliders for rescue ops
For intercept? Yes, absolutely.

DIY drones can do that now never mind by the time this is actually in service.

Seeing YC-backed companies turn into DoD contractors makes me a little sick to my stomach.

Hasn’t that already happened with a transplant Doctor and professor on the east coast?
650REDHAIR··on Americans Are Heading for the Exits
From the Bay Area I know 3 families that have left to the EU since Trump’s first term. I know another 2 that are planning to join our friends in the EU before the end of the year and are just waiting for consulate appointments that are being booked the instant they are being made available.

The consulate appointments drying up immediately lead me to believe that people are in-fact trying to leave…

German passport grants access to the entire EU. Infinitely better than not having it.
650REDHAIR··on Ozempic is causing trouble on Savile Row
Why not?
650REDHAIR··on The Origins of Wokeness
Really? In a thread discussing PG's most recent brain fart you can't understand why today would be the day?

How is that imitation?
650REDHAIR··on The Origins of Wokeness
I imagine they look similar to the gymnastics you did to come up with this comment.
650REDHAIR··on The Origins of Wokeness
"What is Twitter now is a fair game. Every voice is heard the same. What Twitter is doing now should have been the norm the whole time."

Where is your proof for that being true? I was a left-leaning voice that was banned from Twitter after changing my display name (not handle) to "Elon's Musk".

How is that free speech?

650REDHAIR··on The Origins of Wokeness
I was banned from Twitter within hours of Elon having control for changing my displayed name (not my handle) to "Elon's Musk" in a reply to something unhinged that he had tweeted.

So much free speech.

650REDHAIR··on The Origins of Wokeness
Are there viable alternatives to HN? I'm pretty sick of PG and Altman's influence.

They aren't good people.

650REDHAIR··on Meta's memo to employees rolling back DEI programs
Do you have any sources for that opening statement?
650REDHAIR··on Exploring Microsoft's Phi-3-Mini and its integration with tool like Ollama
Right, but for most people do they need access to a huge model locally?
650REDHAIR··on 1-800-ChatGPT
That is unsurprising and totally wild.

Not very confidence inspiring.

650REDHAIR··on Mysterious New Jersey drone sightings prompt call for 'state of emergency'
That's my favorite part of this mass hysteria.

Why would they have nav lights on?! Any lights...

650REDHAIR··on Ask HN: Who needs help this holidays?
The world has been feeling a little (ok, a lot) bleak and this thread made me smile and feel pretty emotional.

Thanks for doing this. Thank you u/atdrummond for starting this.

650REDHAIR··on Brits are scrolling away from X and aren't that interested in AI
Why only once?

I came here to make the same comment.

I immediately closed the tab.

650REDHAIR··on Family medicine is in decline
USA/Bay Area here.

My surgery took months of specialist appointments and months to get an OR slot. There was a conflict and it was delayed again.

I changed networks and when searching for a new PCP I had to wait over a month for the first appointment.

650REDHAIR··on US probes Tesla's Full Self-Driving software after fatal crash
This was my experience as well. It tried to drive us (me, my wife, and my FIL) into a tree on a gentle low speed uphill turn and I’ll never trust it again.

How are you defining steal?
650REDHAIR··on A $1k Wheelchair
Those are not good wheelchairs for independent people to spend 16+ hours in.

I work in EMS and see all kinds of "budget" wheelchairs and they'll all shit.

The parts alone for this lightweight chair have to crack $300.

650REDHAIR··on Show HN: I built a free tool for breaking down tasks into manageable subtasks
Looks great!

Excited to try it this week.

Is there a plan to monetize? I understand server costs are low now, but with any volume that could change.
