People should stop using Imgur. 99% of the time when I click an Imgur link, I get a 403 Imgur is temporarily over capacity. Please try again later. I highly doubt that they are, and they are just blocking VPNs.

aleksandrm··on When oil prices spike, where does the money go?
I wish I could downvote this, because what a bunch of baloney! Unless you have hundreds of thousands, and to be precise millions, invested in oil already, you're not going to see any significant changes to your portfolio. The rich will get richer playing the market, the regular folk are left out as always paying the price.
aleksandrm··on GLM-5.3 and the spread of advanced cyber capabilities
I needed to analyze some network logs from my own app to debug an issue, and Claude just refused to work with me. Fuck Anthropic!

So thankful that these open models exist.

aleksandrm··on GLM-5.3 and the spread of advanced cyber capabilities
Is Anthropic stupid or something?

I already barely use Claude, but now I think I'll just stop using them altogether. Fuck Anthropic!

That's not a counterpoint.
aleksandrm··on Uber shuts operations in Nigeria and Uganda with immediate effect
In other words Uber did not bribe the politicians enough in their favor, market was not favorable for them, so they exited.
aleksandrm··on OpenLogi
>Even if its proofread and factually correct it just comes across as cheap and low effort

How so?

Can anyone shed some light why GitHub is having so many problems lately?
aleksandrm··on Going Dark, and the era of law enforcement hacking
I don't know, my colleague refuses to use AI and I've been seeing more bugs from their side, while reducing bugs on my side with the help of AI.

That said if companies want to "ship ship ship fast", then yes even AI can produce bugs or regressions if not carefully reviewed by the human.

His "AI" company is about weaponizing deepfakes. This guy is nuts and should be banned from HN.
aleksandrm··on US beef prices have soared but farmers aren't making more money
Same here, I haven't had beef in over 2 years now. Chicken and pork only now, mostly chicken, like 90% chicken is all I eat now. Insane.
aleksandrm··on Qwen3.8-Max: A New Bar for Coding and Cowork
US AI companies are already sweating and 100% pressuring the Trump administration for more anti-Chinese regulation, since there have already been talk of Trump considering banning Chinese models. There's however another push back from the startup industry urging them not to ban it, since it will stifle the innovation. In other recent news OpenAI also greatly cut their model prices, 20% for 5.6 Terra and 80% for 5.6 Luna, to stay competitive.

aleksandrm··on OverpAId – Fire your CEO. Hire the future
That's why Citizens United is a sham. Corporations are NOT people. If they were, they would see more consequences. But no one ever does.
aleksandrm··on Microsoft deleted my account and OneDrive
I truly hope you get this resolved if it is at all salvageable. The more stories I hear like this the less I am inclined to do any kind of backups with these companies because they are notorious for not giving a single fuck.
aleksandrm··on Apple sues OpenAI, accuses ex-employees of stealing trade secrets
I'm curious, who is actually making the calls and who is actually doing the scouting for these people. If this is coordinated, the chain must long, so let's see it!
aleksandrm··on Previewing GPT‑5.6 Sol: a next-generation model
I don't know about Cursor or other outlets, but I use GPT 5.4 exclusively in Windsurf (Sorry, Devin!), and it's a very capable model that doesn't break the bank!.

Clickbait title, because running local models is still not good now.
