ipaddr··on Ask HN: Would you rent M3 Ultra from me?
You could rent it for $200-500 a day or $3000 a month and be on par with others in this space.

When you rent a machine like this, they probably will use it to the max. Lowing lifespan should be part of the equation.

ipaddr··on Ask HN: Having a child before career has taken off
You mention living in Scandinavia. Won't be an issue unless you want to play startup and live in a van. A child will focus you which might work out better for your career compared to typical drinking and partying at that age.

You can do a few things at once just not everything. Dropping excess socializing and you can probably work two jobs and still be a great father.

Should read what Google did to remove sites from search results.
ipaddr··on DEA to Temporarily Schedule 7-Oh and Related Substances to Protect Public Safety
Side effects of caffeine withdraw? Lack of focus, nervous, poor sleeping, vivid dreams.

Nicotine has positive and negative effect tobacco is one delivery method.

Not really but great talking point. The exact quote is it's as hard to quit smoking as heroin. But in reality getting off heroin cold turkey can kill you, where you need to be locked in room sweat it out. People quiting smoking still go to work but their mood is poor. Not the same at all.

So is caffeine.
ipaddr··on StubHub, CEO hit with ‘deceptive practices’ class action over mass scalping
They get a cut of the tickets live nation puts on the resellers site.
ipaddr··on Anthropic banned my thirteen 20x accounts, what now?
Change computers or operating systems as well as ips. These days they get info from the OS and will ban you based on your profile.
ipaddr··on 98% isn't much
Sure they do they create co-operatives and pool resources together. They created banks, insurance that serve their needs. Farmers aren't some lone wolf. Farmers created universal health care in other countries like Canada.

They don't support the left and social politics of pushing trans, gay, racial, feminist policies. They believe in God and Christian values.

They work hard and expect others to and don't support a welfare state but that's different from collective benefits.

ipaddr··on Cannabis users face substantially higher risk of heart attack (2025)
That's not a common path to coke. Those who sell coke don't want to deal with a less profitable product that can be purchased legally.

In the movies the drug dealer has an overcoat with every common drug ready to sell at any point. In reality people stick to one or products because there not dealing with multiple suppliers and carrying products for months until the right buyer comes along, they buy in bulk and sell quickly.

ipaddr··on EU Council forces Chat Control via fast-track
Then blame Russia. Rinse and repeat.
ipaddr··on Spain Orders Blacklist of Palantir from Public and Private Companies
My concern is not the people coming in but the use of hate speech laws to silence any voices that oppose different viewpoints. If being against mass migration is hate speech its time to get rid of hate speech laws.
ipaddr··on Android Developer Verification: Threat masquerading as protection
"Apps running in those compatibility layers are much less contained with less isolation from the Linux kernel, not more."

Being isolated a little bit more from the kernal offers an illusion of privacy meanwhile where you are, what you have installed, your photos and friends are available to other apps at a much higher level. I understand being able to slow down a nation state actor is important but most privacy concerns for average people happen at the OS level not the kernel.

ipaddr··on AI can't be listed as inventor on patent applications, Japan's top court rules
Those applications cost money and would create thousands of jobs for displaced AI workers.
ipaddr··on .self: A new top-level domain designed to support self-hosting
Sounds like a bad domain for self hosting. You have to update txt records randomly and your domain can be taken for whatever reason. Whatever value you build goes away if you are inactive. You cannot transfer ownership killing any value you added.
ipaddr··on 'Careless People' author claims Meta surveilled her for 12mos to enforce silence
Praising mastery of specific skills by nationality is the same thing. If you look down at service work might be the reason why another nationality has surpassed your own. People use to look down at nerdy computer work until pay increased and made it cool.

Telling your employee anything can be problematic. Best you never speak with them.

ipaddr··on Ask HN: Where is the programming profession going?
A business analyst or product managers spends most of their time in meetings understanding customer requirements. Now they have to find time to build the project and fix bugs?

The business analyst use to hand off details to another person who would define detail technical specs like database fields names, type and size. Then the programmer would implement it.

ipaddr··on 'Careless People' author claims Meta surveilled her for 12mos to enforce silence
Filipino isn't a race. It's the name for people who come from a specific country.

We use to rave about Japanese cars or German's work ethic. Same thing here. And service people is an okay term to discribe people who work in the service industry.

ipaddr··on OpenAI leans toward waiting until next year for IPO
Because reddit users are low quality users. Meta and Google can peak into your data and segment you to sell.

ChatGPT ads are low quality placed at the bottom barely noticed.

ChatGPT ads will get better. Meta's social userbase is drying up. Google keeps introducing and removing things from chrome to keep access to spy on you for them alone. We'll see how things pan out but in ten more years reddit ads will still be worthless.

ipaddr··on Anthropic says Alibaba illicitly extracted Claude AI model capabilities
Good enough slop to serve the masses. Doesn't need to be truthful because its fast? Why even both to write anything?
ipaddr··on GLM-5.2 is a step change for open agents
Flash will get their faster then the sonnet tier which involves reasoning which is slow. And you don't need reasoning to center divs.

The sonnet tier sits below claude or chatgpt in terms of price but costs so much more than free models. If you are breaking downtasks now I'm not sure that 13 cents is worth it.

ipaddr··on GLM-5.2 is a step change for open agents
For centering divs the free models opencode offers can easily handle that work. DeepSeek V4 Flash is pretty decent.
ipaddr··on GLM-5.2 is a step change for open agents
I've maxed out my chatgpt plus the first week and that include an smf forum rewrite. Trying my best I haven't been able to max out again. Things are setup that you need to max out your 5 hour window multiple times which becomes a job in itself.

At work I'm struggling to keep my claude bill around $500.

ipaddr··on Digital euro clears key hurdle as EU seeks to break free from U.S. credit cards
Using a credit card generally forces you to pay fees and higher interest.
ipaddr··on What we call "age verification" is actually mass surveillance
This idea sounds like the death of social media. Remove anyone under 18 ensures they won't signup after. Forcing id verification means 70-80% of adult accounts will be dead. Network effects disappear. Those who remain will be businesses pushing something, hackers/spammers and some die hard group.
ipaddr··on The early hiring funnel is now breaking on both ends
People don't trust people they just met anymore. The person who walked up could be a murderer. They would rather filter them through ai first or common networks.
ipaddr··on Identity verification on Claude
No they don't and if they do tell you that means you have been banned.
