hankerapp··on Apple Silicon costs more than OpenRouter
Bingo. I, for one, am loving this phase of enjoying the LLMs at the expense of VC money. Just like how I enjoyed cheap rides and deliveries on Uber. And with the fragmentation in the field, I don't see a monopoly coming up.

Hacker news looks absolutely beautiful with this extension! Why don't we have more websites in this style?
hankerapp··on Scrcpy v4.0
> Amazing piece of software.

Inb4 google somehow blocks it, because of "security" or some other bullshit.

hankerapp··on I moved my digital stack to Europe
Also, the "open your app store to competitors" was just bullshit, eyewash, cop out. The apps on these "alternative app stores" still need to jump through all the hoops, pay apple development fees, get approved etc.

hankerapp··on The One Dollar Counterfeiter
I don't know which story you are talking about. I was working at a frozen yogurt place.
hankerapp··on I returned to AWS and was reminded why I left
A lot of these projects work on a business model where they open-source their core product, and provide advanced services, installation, maintenance or fully-managed services around their product. AWS was bypassing them by providing fully-managed services. On this, I am on the side of the people behind the projects. Basically AWS was eating their lunch. They had no choice but to change the licenses.
hankerapp··on The One Dollar Counterfeiter
Slightly off-topic, but the first time I saw a (real) 2-dollar bill, I almost called the Secret Service on a customer. Was then educated about the legality of 2-dollar bills.

Do other airports have? The only ones that I have been to (that have separate Customs and Security lines for Business Class travelers) are in India and Middle East. I have never seen a separate line anywhere in Canada or US.
