The one with the fly gave me a good laugh.
robotnikman··on I Cancelled Claude: Token Issues, Declining Quality, and Poor Support
>removing Claude Code from the Pro plan

Wait really? I wanted to give it a try, but for $200 a month no way am I paying that for something I just want to experiment around with

robotnikman··on How to be anti-social – a guide to incoherent and isolating social experiences
>When you get asked a question, fumble over your words and say something stupid. Later on, you can reflexively watch the memory played over and over again

I can relate to this so much, my mind seems to bring up those cringe memories randomly and I hate it. If there was a way to just erase those memories I would be all for it lol.

robotnikman··on I am building a cloud
Just curious, are you still looking for developers? Asking as someone who is a developer that works with POS systems.
robotnikman··on Scores decline again for 13-year-old students in reading and mathematics
I wonder if having the Soviet Union as an ever looming adversary could have something to do with it, and after their fall everyone just got complacent.
robotnikman··on Framework Laptop 13 Pro
That would be the Framework 12, I hope they release one with the new panther lake processors soon. Seems like Intel is finally starting to get up to speed with TSMC again.

The desktops use AMD Strix Halo chips which require soldered on memory for the required bandwidth.
robotnikman··on Anthropic takes $5B from Amazon and pledges $100B in cloud spending in return
Its one of the reasons Valve is considered such a great company by its customers. If they were a public company, they would be enshittifying everything in an attempt to scrape every last penny they can.
robotnikman··on NYC to open municipal grocery store in 2027
Are they looking to hire any software engineers right now?
robotnikman··on Microsoft isn't removing Copilot from Windows 11, it's just renaming it
It was a relic from a time when it looked like 3D printing was going to be the next big thing.
robotnikman··on Installing every* Firefox extension
This gives me an idea for an extension similar to this mod but for Firefox, for those who are insane enough to try it: 1/10000 Chance for Withered Foxy Jumpscare Every Second

robotnikman··on 12k Tons of Dumped Orange Peel Grew into a Landscape Nobody Expected (2017)
Apparently that same technology is being used on newer US Navy ships for waste management.
robotnikman··on Show HN: Stop paying for Dropbox/Google Drive, use your own S3 bucket instead
There was a similar program I used when I was working at a smaller company and built an automated backup system for their call center recordings. It basically mapped the S3 bucket to a Windows drive letter, since the PBX call recording software was running on a Windows server. It was a while ago so I can't recall the name of the program
robotnikman··on Wi-Fi That Can Withstand a Nuclear Reactor: This receiver chip can take it
>the lifespan of a camera module was about 24-48 hours for work inside the water of the reactor near the "hot" fuel of the reactor

Wow, you must have needed many shelves full of replacements ready. The whole thing has me curious and full of questions.

How did they even go about replacing them without endangering anyone? And why was a camera needed in a place so close that they would fail so quickly?

robotnikman··on In Japan, the robot isn't coming for your job; it's filling the one nobody wants
This is something that really needs to be done in the states imo.

IIRC we don't have a sovereign wealth fund, but we should in order to provide a social safety net for our citizens, especially with all the uncertainties regarding the future right now.

robotnikman··on Artemis II Launch Day Updates
Seems like its at least bigger than the Apollo Lunar Module from the 70's

And with modern forms of entertainment to make the trip less boring.

robotnikman··on Android Developer Verification
>15 GB of space on my phone, and 1.5 GB of RAM, is dedicated to Android OS alone

The original Droid phone I used had only 256mb of memory, and could still multitask and run multiple apps at once with that limited memory. Its crazy how bloated things have become over the years.

robotnikman··on People inside Microsoft are fighting to drop mandatory Microsoft Account
I wonder the same thing. I've been using KDE Plasma and have not looked back.
robotnikman··on Intel Announces Arc Pro B70 and Arc Pro B65 GPUs
I'm probably going to snag one of the Intel cards just for the SR-IOV and use with VM's
robotnikman··on Goodbye to Sora
Such a stupid joke but it gave me a laugh.
robotnikman··on Microsoft's "fix" for Windows 11
And now Edge is just another one of many chromium based browsers.
robotnikman··on America tells private firms to “hack back”
I have have noticed this, there seems to be an 'Ivy League ceiling' which exists and presents others from breaking into certain roles, even if they have the experience and skills for them.
robotnikman··on America tells private firms to “hack back”
This might be the start of hacker mercenary groups which corporations hire.
robotnikman··on PC Gamer recommends RSS readers in a 37mb article that just keeps downloading
I remember in the 2000's there was a site that did exactly this. I can't remember the name now though, maybe someone else will know what I'm talking about.
robotnikman··on Theodosian Land Walls of Constantinople (2025)
RIP Byzantine Empire
robotnikman··on Our commitment to Windows quality
Valve and devices like the Steam Deck and soon the Steam Machine are also grabbing the gaming segment away from Windows. Distros like Bazzite also are enticing to those technically inclined enough to boot from a USB drive and run the simple installer.
robotnikman··on FBI is buying location data to track US citizens, director confirms
I think the user should be paid for the data that is being gathered up. If we want a source of UBI for the future where AI is replacing every job, well here is a potential source to fund it.
robotnikman··on Microsoft's 'unhackable' Xbox One has been hacked by 'Bliss'
>then AI will make it easier to close all the doors in the future.

AI could also make it easier to open the doors too.

Or if not bigger hearts, what about multiple hearts?
