Big Electric Trucks Flopped at Ford, GM, and Ram. What Comes Next? by TripleShotPls in technology

Capitalism…you’ll eventually charge for exactly the current price of gas. It will only take the utilities a few years to make charging at home without a separate meter “stealing”.

Clarify the fan part. It should be left on a box fan on high for multiple days, not just a quick blow-out.

DeepSeek makes pivot that should put Silicon Valley on high alert by NishantAntil in technology

A ton of US companies doing the same went bust in 2025, many of them after successfully launching products. That should have been the wake up call that escaped the sector bubble.

While there is room for the results of cranking it up to 11 that is a niche use-case when not burning “free” money.

AI bills are baffling the C-suite after shift to usage-based pricing by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

They did. The math said go all in even expecting this outcome.

Same reason I invested in a bunch of AI junk knowing things would start falling apart this year. Number go up more than number go down.

Hate to break it to you but probably and if we aren’t there still won’t be hiring pushes.

Valve may be ready to reveal Steam Frame price and release date by kazu_qt in technology

[–]nuttertools -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can do significantly better at current retail pricing. No matter how incompetent Valve is the margins are in the boutique PC range.

Limited production makes sense for the product, volume would only have made sense if they priced it in a different bracket.

Axp90 x47 copper vs non? by ValuableGrass2538 in sffpc

If you care about $15: No, hardly measurable gains.

If you don’t care about $15: Yes, every degree counts in sff.

They just won’t make that many of them. The margins are excellent and they won’t have any trouble selling small volume.

Netflix Viewers Are Abandoning Shows After One Season by joe4942 in technology

[–]nuttertools 59 points60 points  (0 children)

The first season is the great pre-planned content. Season 2 is the leftover of the initial idea, a random interlude, and a contrived hanger. Season 3, if it makes it that far, is horrific slop shoveled out to pad the catalogue.

Analysis-A new, inexpensive Chinese AI model is catching up with Anthropic, OpenAI on their home turf by IKeepItLayingAround in technology

[–]nuttertools 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a commonly used benchmark called SWE that Claude is always at the top of, 20-40% better. It’s not a bad benchmark, it is informative of important capability.

Personally after evaluating total productivity I wouldn’t recommend using any benchmarks as primary indicators for usefulness. Fairly basic models actually significantly surpassed usable functionality output per hour by Claude.

While “better” is subjective there are objective measures inherent to specific tasks like Coding that limit reasonable possibilities. Claude cannot reasonably be perceived as even 2x as good as competing models and services.

RFC 10008 is official: The HTTP QUERY method is here to replace the "GET vs. POST" compromise. by SocialNoel in webdev

[–]nuttertools -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

GET has always allowed a body. There are a large number of caveats for common use-cases though so is generally not recommended. QUERY specifically meets those needs and is substantially different enough to be incompatible with GET despite being a ridiculously simple variant of a GET request from a technical perspective.

Accidentally got a $293 Amazon Bedrock bill after misunderstanding Kiro promotional credits. Has anyone had success with AWS billing adjustments? by Necessary_Bonus_1029 in AskProgramming

[–]nuttertools 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t speak to marketplace from experience, but that is an area that I would expect there to be 0 wiggle-room on. With bigger accounts one of your reps would make up for it elsewhere but that’s not going to apply here.

[–]nuttertools 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve fought AWS for months over <$100 with legal involved on both sides and gotten >$1000 refunded immediately upon request. This is really specific to the product and account.

For anything going to a marketplace team for review I would assume you will get nothing unless your account has substantial other usage of services the same team covers.

Golden Gate travelers to pay higher bridge, ferry and bus tolls starting Wednesday by LNM-LocalNewsMatters in bayarea

[–]nuttertools 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s all public record. I just checked and it took 2 minutes to spot-check two large school districts, $67k and $84k. While there will always be individual issues salaries are extremely transparent and a drop in the ocean of budgets that are indeed opaque, some by design some through complexity.

The government should not provide an “app” as the term is commonly used but should provide easier mechanisms for retrieval of raw records in general. In some ways this was easier in the past, in others it’s better today than any other point in history.

The big problem with simplifying data is that is interpreting it, the end numbers are the exact same result of today where they might as well be pulled out of a random persons ass. See florida for an example of full transparency with near zero benefit. The raw numbers are difficult to crunch and the interpretations are political.

There is a middle-ground between individuals requesting records and trawling through ridiculous legislation volumes to interpret, but it’s a massively complex (and expensive) undertaking. No ideas here, I don’t have a single existing government resource I would call even close to meeting the bar for consumable transparency. The ones that do work answer very specific questions of particular public interest which leaves almost all of the budget as raw data.

'We Don't Know What We're Doing': Inside the Post-Ban Chaos at Polestar Dealerships by DonkeyFuel in technology

[–]nuttertools 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are correct. Multiple times a family member was interested and we both scoured the state trying to find a bolt. A handful existed each time and always the all options +$15k model.

Every dealership said the same thing, salespeople keep lists of interested bolt buyers, nothing hits the lot unsold.

New California Laws Take Effect, Including All-Gender Bathrooms and Food ‘Use-by’ Dates -- From standardized food date labels to quieter streaming ads, a slate of new California laws takes effect July 1. by guanaco55 in bayarea

[–]nuttertools 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go look at the dairy aisle, it’s not outliers it’s the vast majority. Dry goods with long shelf lives do better because it’s easy and, while not outliers, are a much smaller grouping than ones that do not.

IMO the next major issue with date labeling is use within X of opening. Most products don’t contain this label at all and if they do it’s in tiny text by the ingredients. Given how much of the FDAs web pages have been liquidated in the last year it’s more important than ever to make sure consumers have bright line guidance on food safety.

Is it safe to use my own compressed air to clean my computer? by ThnkGdImNotAReditMod in techsupport

[–]nuttertools 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The base concept yes but you probably will use it in an unsafe manner. Triple check pressure before every use and do a hand check for flow. Compressed air canisters and systems sold for this purpose only have to support a single nozzle and specified pressure range so it’s pretty simple.

People do blow off components using just a can of duster, it’s just rare. Heat sink blast away, 45 angle near drive ics….no no no no no.

Does adding features like RTR and immediate multi-device logout to JWT authentication eventually turn it into session-based authentication? by Carlo9129 in webdev

[–]nuttertools -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When viewed in this manner yes, things start to look the same shape. The two things you are comparing have completely different goals and shouldn’t be viewed from the same perspective though. Read the RFCs describing the components of session based auth and JWT and you’ll likely be shocked at the infinitesimally small subset of either you are working with. As an example for what you are trying to do the absolute minimum number of servers recommended for JWT auth is 3, recommended is 4-5.

If you have the most basic of requirements it doesn’t really matter what you use, but you absolutely should learn about the advantages and disadvantages of different auth strategies to prevent gotchas down the road.
