AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB review: Finally, a powerful $350 GPU

NVIDIA releases a brand new video card and AMD follows up with a cheaper one. That's basically been the cycle of the GPU industry for the last decade, with NVIDIA typically leading the pack and AMD rushing to keep up. But with the recent Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT, AMD finally found a winning formula with GPUs that were both cheaper than NVIDIA's and, in many cases, more powerful. The new Radeon RX 9060 XT, which is meant to take on NVIDIA's RTX 5060 Ti in 1080p and 1440p gaming, mostly repea

Ask HN: Startup getting spammed with PayPal disputes, what should we do?

Longtime user posting from a new account out of an abundance of caution.

I founded an e-commerce marketplace startup. We use PayPal's Multiparty APIs (PayPal Commerce Platform) for checkout. For the 10 days, someone has been bombarding us with purchases that they later dispute. There's consistent pattern to it:

AI LLMs can't count lines in a file

Was starting to mess around with the latest LLM models and found that they're not great at counting lines in files.

I gave Gemini 2.5 flash a python script and asked it to tell me what was at line 27 and it consistently got it wrong. I tried repeatedly to prompt it the right way, but had no luck.
