I've never seen this chart before, was taking a peek from the link in the article. Does anyone with networking knowledge know why IPv6 usage peaks on Saturdays and dips during the middle of the week? (something related to mobile ISPs?)

New comment by anonymouscaller in "Spotify Killed the Thrill of the Hunt"

I'd say the ways of discovering underground music have just evolved. In my (younger) circles those who are passionate about music still hunt out non-mainstream music. Their listening isn't dictated by the algorithm, they instead follow small Instagram music pages, read small blogs, keep in touch with communities, etc.

I've discovered a share of my favorite artists through friends and relationships, I don't think that will ever change.

I find DDG results to be lower quality than Kagi, have never liked Bing's index. I also frequently use the personalized site rankings feature in Kagi to strip out known junky sites

New comment by anonymouscaller in "Americans Are Falling Behind on Their $1.25T Credit-Card Bill"

anonymouscaller — Fri, 29 May 2026 18:54:26 +0000

Article highlights a looming issue in the US, but why open the article with an example of a high income earner living alone who is spending beyond her needs? Makes you wonder if the author has some kind of bias...

New comment by anonymouscaller in "Show HN: GridTravel – A community based travel app for users to share routes"

anonymouscaller — Fri, 15 May 2026 12:27:49 +0000

Neat! One frustrating bug in the app is the forced ability to search states by two letter abbreviation. For example, if you start typing "Montana", your typing will be cut off, and Missouri will be selected, as the abbreviation for Missouri is MO.

Custom points would be great too, sometimes the search feature built in couldn't find the locations I was looking for.

Seems like an interesting idea. Wish I could get some more information on who is behind this website for credibility purposes

For us Americans who can’t make it out to Vietnam, I’ve found the best Pho in the US is in Orange County, CA and Boston’s Dorchester neighborhood!

Funny how Anthropic's press team has been working overtime to ensure the public they're the AI on the right side of history, yet that's anything further than the truth...

Maybe I'm using it wrong, but I was trying to answer some questions/prompts, and the same one keeps coming up over and over again.

New comment by anonymouscaller in "Anthropic, please make a new Slack"

anonymouscaller — Fri, 06 Mar 2026 19:57:51 +0000

Slack is in no way a great program (source: use it daily for work), but it seems to me that it works as intended, and developers can already extend it with bots/AI agents. Plus, Claude as an agent is already installable to Slack.

For compliance, my company already has a tool that scrapes all slack messages, and archives them for a required amount of years. I'm at a small company, so I assume large corporations have already refined this process.

What problem does this solve?

New comment by anonymouscaller in "Easy AI job resume builder"

Why should I pay for a AI wrapper to build my resume? What's the advantage of this tool versus running it through Claude/GPT/Gemini etc.?

I'm an American. I know people my age want rail (18-24). I know lawmakers fund big infrastructure packages. So where's the disconnect on this side of the pond?
