    The tooling is totally replicated in open source. OpenCode and Letta are two notable examples, but there are surely more. I'm hacking on one in the evenings. OpenCode in particular…

    > This is how infrastructure works, and supposed to work No, infrastructure doesn't have to work this way. This is a very old-school mentality. Sign the content with a key that you…

    Dumb question: whats the difference between "low-code" and "libraries+frameworks"? Usually the point of a library or framework is to reduce the amount of code you need to write. Gi…

    Hey HN, hope you enjoy this idea! LLMs are a game-changer, but they’re only half the story: probabilistic and fuzzy. The missing half is a universal formal language: something prec…

    Your alternative is... what exactly? A unique and baroque file format for each application (see: Git)? Folders of JSON or markdown files which are slow, easily corrupted, and lack …

    Thanks for spawning many interesting topics. A dose of cynicism is great, in moderation! > P2P is cool if you have a desktop, but you cannot host from laptop or phone that spends m…

    The solution is to build on the traditional web. How does anybody find anything new on the web? Basically: hyperlinks! People will create links from social media. With some basic S…

    As somebody working in this "future-web" space, I see HUGE issues with the legacy web stack: - It requires a server to publish, which is expensive and difficult for regular users w…

    I get freaked out when I consider the future of archive.is. Thanks to the nature of the web today, it is incredibly fragile. As the co-creator of a censorship-resistant publishing …

    I'm confused how you would "build something on ChatGPT" in the first place. Does ChatGPT have an API? Of course OpenAI's GPT-5 and family are available as an API, but this is the f…

    It's funny how they mixed in proprietary models like GPT-5 and Anthropic with the "comparable U.S. models". Until they compare open-weight models, NIST is attempting a comparison b…

    Why is auth "such a big issue" in JS? I've used a number of solutions but haven't had big issues with them.

    A few months ago I was asking myself, why is the "standard" width of a terminal 80 characters? I assumed it had to do with the screen size of some early PCs. But nope, its because …
