With this Fable release my goodwill for Anthropic went down. "Generous and exciting" were my thoughts when I bought the $100, then upgraded to the $200 sub last year. Now I get big…

Wait, will it downgrade to Opus even when using with extra usage? So you pay a hefty amount up to the point where the model needs to do Real Work then it quits?

I don't understand why simonw's comment is dead, because he mentions a real counterpoint to the video: API token prices are NOT the raw costs for any provider. I'd even say that in…

For a client I had to use "Windows App" to connect remotely to their cloud machine – and finding the app was the easy part.

Nice idea but I'm missing the specialty bins that actually make Gridfinity useful: bins for storing the AA/AAA batteries vertically, for SD cards and USB keys, for a caliper, tape …

Electricity price is a weird beast. Everyone has to pay the price of the most expensive electricity source (generally gas plants) that was recruited to respond to the power demand.…

A well crafted policy that, I think, will be adopted by many OSS. You'd need that kind of sharp rules to compete against unhinged (or drunken) AI drivers and that's unfortunate. Bu…

Looks slick! In the >50" category, I've recently upgraded from the Samsung Odyssey G9 49" (with res 2x1440p) to a Samsung Odyssey G9 57" (2x4K). With a tiling window manager and wo…

I've linked it multiple times on HN already but winapps ( https://github.com/winapps-org/winapps ) can be a game-changer for people relying on some Windows-only software. It sets u…

It's funny how there are operations so sensitive to latency that even half a second feels too long. However I agree with other comments that the author's baseline of 380ms is suspi…

I've found that cooking extra food with the intent of freezing it in individual portions is a game changer for when I'm alone at home - my fiancée can also pack them for lunch. Ric…

"How to be in good health? Sleep, eat well, exercise." However, knowledge ≠ application.

I strongly believe that markets are a bit irrational about AI stuff right now. I don't know when the bubble will burst but the blast radius will be massive, with a good chunk of th…

It will be twelve years next month. I remember signing up as a naive student attracted by all the shiny things. I'd say HN had a big part in shaping and honing my critical thinking…

I'd add classes about: - telling clients that the proof-of-concept is non-conclusive so it's either bag it or try something different - spending innovation tokens in something else…

Fascinating! Saw a porcupine at 0013, a fennecs at 0027 & 0257, joined by a springbok (thanks ChatGPT), sassy zebras at 0320 (you can see their social behavior!), a jackal at 0740,…

I find coding agents to be a powerful throttle on the speed dimension in exchange of quality in the general sense. With tests to ensure correctness is not compromised (not a silver…

Commit even as a WIP before cleaning up! I don't really like polluting the commit history like that but with some interactive rebase it can be as if the WIP version never existed. …

Places where I got the most out of coding agents are: - breaking through the analysis paralysis by creating the skeleton of a feature that I then rework (UI work is a good example)…

I like this lossy compression / decompression analogy for coding too: when you prompt for a feature, you are basically asking to decompress the meaning of your ask into your existi…

I'm working on test scenarios (in natural language) after defining my initial task to keep my mind on the same topic. Edge cases to test, implementation details to check, log trace…

I find the model very impressive, but how could it be used in the wild? They mention robots (maybe to test them cheaply in completely different environments?), but I don't see the …

I guess it should be "agentic" but it's used so many times it can't really be a typo...

The Walrus operator! Introduced in Python 3.8 according to the PEP 572. Really nice to combine 1) checking if something exists and 2) act on it

I'd be happy to spend my Claude Max tokens during the night so it can "ultrathink" some Pareto improvements to my projects. So far, I've mostly seen lateral moves that rewrites cod…
