Tell HN: MS365 upgrade silently to 25 licenses, tried to charge me $1,035 7 by davidstarkjava | 4 comments on Hacker News. Hey guys, quick warning about a crazy MS 365 dark pattern I ran into last night. I was testing the business basic plan for a side project. Decided to upgrade to the annual tier to get the discount ($3.45/mo). Clicked convert to paid, put my burner card in, and got a $0.00 confirmation email. Thought we were good. Woke up today to my bank blocking a charge for exactly $1,035.00. Turns out when you hit the annual upgrade, Microsoft silently defaults the quantity dropdown to 25 licenses. No warning prompt at all. (25 seats x 12 months x $3.45 = $1,035). They send the zero-dollar invoice to make you think it's an auth hold, then try to drain your card while you sleep. The best part? When I went to their support chat to ask why my billing was so high, the system conveniently gave me a "System error, try again later" message. You can't even get help....

If AI brings 90% productivity gains, do you fire devs or build better products? 3 by Bleiglanz | 2 comments on Hacker News. i was rolling my eyes at the hype, but reading about this is totally different from experiencing it. if you have any old repos out there - try it, you might actually be amazed. i'm not sure i buy the long-term "*90% productivity*" claims for complex, legacy enterprise systems, but for the boilerplate, libraries, build-tools, and refactoring? the gain is gigantic. all the time-consuming, nerve-wrecking stuff is mostly taken care of. you start off checking every diff like a hawk, expecting it to break things, but honestly, soon you see it's not necessary most of the time. you just keep your IDE open and feed the "analyze code" output back into it. in java, telling it to " add checkstyle, run mvn verify and repair " works well enough that you can actually go grab a coffee instead of fighting linter warnings. the theory is that...

Anyone know how long it will take to re-start Qatar's helium plants? 2 by megamike | 0 comments on Hacker News. The helium shortage for the world outside the US is going to be debilitating for technology oriented production. Since the US produces most of the worlds helium, it actually acts as a counter measure to our reliance on rare earths. Globally, helium has been in short supply for over a decade. Taking out the supply from Qatar is going to disrupt production of chipsets quickly. Anyone know how long it will take to re-start Qatar's helium plants?

How are you so sure this is not just another winter 3 by shoman3003 | 1 comments on Hacker News. Because recently I am able to finish an entire episode on netflix without having to check on the agents, sometime that episode is 40 min long! I literally watch more TV than I do actual work, and I am still 3 times more productive than last year! I am not even up to date; some people wake up & tell the agents what to do & then go back to sleep

Ask HN: What features does a chip require to beat Nvidia in the AI race? 2 by caloricflow | 5 comments on Hacker News. Nvidia has a lot of strengths that puts them over other competitors. I'm curious to hear from some technical experts in data center, AI labs, and enterprise. I think there's a lot of nuance here beyond just "faster and more energy efficient".
