iammrpayments··on Deus Ex
This game is so good that when I first played I couldn’t speak english and thought it was just a fun first person shooter.

Some years later I learned some english and found out the game is deep with layers, and the more I play the more I learn something new.

iammrpayments··on The AI cost of JavaScript frameworks
Interesting, I’m just sad svelte didnt behave better because of the LLM reading migration guide on every answer
iammrpayments··on Brazilian Court Sanctions Lawyers for Prompt Injection in Court Filing
The fine they applied is equivalent to 1~2 weeks of work from a judge.

iammrpayments··on Ledger confirms spy chip implant behind wallet crypto thefts
They are considered fintechs, this usually comes with some drawbacks such as higher chance of unexplained account closure.
iammrpayments··on Ledger confirms spy chip implant behind wallet crypto thefts
Most banks in the US still use SMS password reset.

PNC is so bad they even have “secret question” password reset, last time I saw it, e.g. “what’s is the name of your cousin”

Go to youtube and type “paypal froze my account”
iammrpayments··on Ledger confirms spy chip implant behind wallet crypto thefts
The traditional banks are not better than crypto for receiving and sending money, specially when it comes to international transactions.

The only thing they are better is providing security in an easier way.

iammrpayments··on Ledger confirms spy chip implant behind wallet crypto thefts
The truth is that banks often have pretty bad security and customer service, but the risk of getting caught after stealing crypto is virtually zero when compared to scamming someone’s bank account balance.

Good luck trying send money abroad or dealing with a sudden unexplained account shutdown.
iammrpayments··on Has the Autonomous Trucking Revolution Arrived?
If an autonomous truck runs over someone, who goes to jail?
iammrpayments··on Why isn't the industry freaking out about DeepSeek 4.1 Flash?
5$ per day how???

I’ve been trying to spend my 5$ with deepseek that I put 2 months ago. I almost never hit limit with claude opus in 20$ plan.

Do you guys just run model in paralallel + loop?

Does it even produce anything worth using that way?

iammrpayments··on Visa, Mastercard, major banks facing new litigation over 'anticompetitive' fees
Also fintechs tend to close accounts without notice easier than traditional banks
iammrpayments··on Why don't more developers “use the platform”?
It’s always the same argument variation when trying to defend react: “Find it complicated? Maybe you’re stupid.”

No, using a frontend framework is not as complicated as developing your own cryptography, not even close, just use anything other than react instead.

iammrpayments··on Device detection and occupancy monitoring for Airbnb hosts
I don't think the average airbnb owner can exit vim.
iammrpayments··on Why don't more developers “use the platform”?
If most people can’t use it properly perhaps the problem is in react itself and not most people. React is the only framework that will blame the user for its own mistakes.
iammrpayments··on GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price
I put 5 dollars at deepseek a long time ago, and somehow it has never been fully spent, can’t imagine anyway to spend 200$ on that thing

That would be funny if you did this while living in Tokyo

At least the experience he describes seems real
iammrpayments··on Claude Status – Elevated errors for multiple models
I’ve subscribed to chatgpt at 50% off last week and I’m using claude less and less. Not only replies are faster but 20$ plan gives you access to astra.

Not sure how can claude even compete at this point unless openAI seriously downgrade the models to save money.

iammrpayments··on AI chatbots are becoming experts at changing people's minds
It seems Claude is becoming very human, it loves to patronize users. Lately it just told me “I’m going to stop you right there” when asking something that had a small chance to not be 100% compliant to every rule possible in the world.
iammrpayments··on Xiaomi Mimo 2.6 live post-training dashboard
Did you come here to astroturf or are you a big fan of Claude
iammrpayments··on google.com/goto: Google's anti-scraping update
How do you even measure GEO, sometimes I try searching for my app and sometimes claude recommends my competitor that has 10x less reviews and is objectively worse saying is the most popular.
iammrpayments··on I spent $220 on Google app ads and 60% of the installs were robots
Spent a lot of money on meta ads and it worked well for a long time.

What doesn’t work is the nonsense people try to teach about how to optimize it.

It’s what got me into programming in first place, since most strategies can be automated, but there are still companies paying money to people to manage their ad spend.

iammrpayments··on Actively exploited sandbox RCE in all Chromium versions
They just released a CVE for a garbage truck vulnerability where an attacker could brick the vehicle by exploiting the telemetry system these things now have preinstalled in factory.

OpenAi customer support would be a good start

This has not been my experience so far.

Thought they use Sepa
iammrpayments··on A week of using Codex more than Claude
No it doesn’t. The comments end up complicating simple tasks, and if you open the repo after a week it takes a while to find out why Claude is reading irrelevant files or replying about irrelevant things
iammrpayments··on A week of using Codex more than Claude
This is not true, the comments confuse claude itself and even eat context
