IIRC, the docs say you're supposed to be able to use it with a trial account. I think I did try to sign up for the other kind and ran into a wall where I had to contact support or a sales rep, and the last thing I ever want to do is talk to Oracle sales.

These were never actually available anyways, I tried multiple times over the years in multiple regions and I always got “no capacity”.

This is sometimes done intentionally to hide latency and make a UI feel faster - I certainly don’t like it though.

I’ve been finding that very rigorous/technical people who are willing to adapt their workflows are very effective, whereas more “management” types are sometimes effectively pushing work off onto their code reviewers.

Lutes, even!

This is just a matter of priorities - I use LLMs to write code every day and I have never put a single line of code up for review that I didn’t read and understand.

It's turn based, the most similar game I've played is probably Fantasy General. Closer to Advance Wars or Fire Emblem than Warcraft.

I tried this with Claude - it has to be explicitly instructed to not make an external tool call, and it can get the right answer if asked to show its work long-form.

Your HN jobs page lists comp as 24-48k, is this accurate?

It matters for things like verifiable builds.

This is similar to how wild boar was hunted in Europe - there were special spears made with extra crossbars to reduce the chance of a boar reaching the spear holder after being impaled.

A half century? Surely that must be a typo?

I’m surprised that this doesn’t get talked about more - I’ve worked with plenty of women, minorities, and immigrants at large tech companies, but I can’t recall a single person with a southern accent.

I think that you should mention that this is specific to 90 degree v8 engines - other engine designs can have similar crankshaft / firing order trade offs but would not be described as “flat plane” or “cross plane”.

That’s not their best hardware deal, but you also have to understand that you are paying for rack space, electricity, bandwidth, on-site staff for repairs, etc. They are actually absurdly inexpensive compared to competitors.
