gambiting

GLM 5.3 Flash is incredibly cheap and imho as good as or better than Sonnet. I used it recently to fix an old server that my family had running serving some websites, and by fix it I mean I got it to log in over ssh, figure out what's running there, copy it out, log in to a brand new droplet on DO, set up a fresh instance of apache with everything patched up to latest, copy that ancient content over, make sure it runs with latest PHP which required several rounds of fixes, optimize the system so it runs on the smallest 512MB droplet, harden the system so that ideally no one ever needs to look at it for another 10 years - it took about an hour, and cost a grand total of 4 american.... _cents_

I use Opus at work since we have a nearly unlimited AI budget, but for personal projects I just use GLM 5.3 and I don't see much difference between that and Opus.

>>Opus downloaded all comments of HackerNews

I'm actually surprised this was that easy to do, ngl

Lol, you mean like here in the UK where all banks are closing down branches left and right? I think my nearest one is a 45 minute drive away, and last time I went in they just directed me to a terminal that was basically my exact online banking interface and I had to log in the same way I would have done at home. I don't know what kind of query would warrant speaking to an actual teller. If you're regularly sending money or even want to check your balance this cannot be sustainable, would be an enormous waste of time.

On one hand, you have to care for the hand that feeds you. On the other, I'd love for NASA to basically ignore the orange convicted felon and see what happens.

Bribing employees of private companies as a private person is not illegal(well, maybe it is where you live but I can't know the law everywhere).

>>Most underdisplay fingerprint scanners are between mediocre to garbage.

I don't think you've used one in the last 10 years based on your comment.

>>Usually they require a very specific state of the fingers, not too clean (don't work after washing and drying hands usually) and not too dirty, not too damaged, not too oily etc. Winter zero degree weather causing invisible condensation or wetness on a screen? Nope. Rain or drizzle? Nada.

Literally never had any of these problems and I unlock my phone 50+ times a day in all conditions. Again, try a modern phone and come back.

The biggest example I can think of is WhatsApp - despite its popularity it still runs an iPhone app in compatibility mode on the iPad.

Touche. I suppose it's because they clicked on the comments section where you read....comments. You reply to the the article or other comments - to me it's a conversation, in a way that posting a blog about why someone returned a phone isn't.

How would they? We've had iPads around for literally forever and there are still iOS apps that start in a pretend phone mode on an iPad. And that's presumably much larger market for apple than the Duo is - why or how would they force developers to support it if they don't want to devote resources to it?

The stupid thing is, fingerprint unlock inside the screen is a long solved tech. The touch sensors on a modern Samsung or Oppo or Xiaomi are literally instant. Why put it on a button on the side? Just to be different? Or is that a patent thing?

Well that's the other thing - the idea that someone else needs to hear why I returned a phone in 2026 is just.....weird? Is it just hubris? Ego?

I'm like 99% it's a bot. I said Renee Good in another comment and he started talking about a guy(???) even though no "guy" was mentioned anywhere. Now he makes up nonsense about Renee Good being an illegal immigrant?Reading this entire thread his comments read like an LLM set to "be as argumentative as possible, avoid stating any facts or bringing up any evidence behind your statements".

What guy? This comment proves more than anything else that you're a bot, or are not really able to read comprehensively. Multiple people have asked you to clarify your position and you always give some crappy excuse why you can't, walking around it like a shit circling the drain. And now you replied to me talking about a completely different person? Are you just following some script?
