    It’s worked out pretty well for the Norwegians!

    My point is that it wouldn't be someone else's "clankers". The lab would be majority owned by the populace through their democratically elected government.

    I agree, the datacenters and the GPUs inside them might be the least valuable thing to come out of the boom. The research in chips, architectures, and training, and the supporting …

    Oh definitely, not saying they are lying about working on a big model, but as you say I'm skeptical it will be any good. I hope they will get that boost, but I'm afraid that they h…

    I considered mentioning that in the footnote but my own skepticism stopped me. I'm now thinking I need to see it to believe it in terms of Mistral training a frontier model. That's…

    Yes, it probably won't be clear until we have the benefit of some hindsight. One thing I'm inclined to believe though is that the investment being made into compute and research to…

    Anthropic pauses credit change for Claude Code

    Quoting from an email they sent: Hi Fabian, In May, we sent you an email announcing that starting today, the Claude Agent SDK, claude -p, and third-party apps built on the Agent SD…

    Shameless self plug but check out: https://specific.dev (especially if you use coding agents) No code lock-in through SDKs and built on top of AWS with great DX for both developer …

    Orbstack is definitely much better but far from native speeds in my experience. From our perspective of wanting all users to have a good experience, we also can't really point folk…

    Same to you!

    Comment #47580358

    Yes, exactly. Probably two different focuses between us, we are more focused on providing the full environment to build productively with coding agents, from local dev all the way …

    Comment #47580145

    We have been trying to solve the same problem (and a bunch of other ones) with https://specific.dev as well. We’ve tried to stay away from Docker as much as we can though because o…

    Totally agree that AI coding makes this even more important. We are working on a coding agent-first cloud and a large part of that is ensuring everything runs locally so folks can …

    Better Auth is absolutely great. Was pleased with how well it could be extended here to replace Supabase Auth with backwards compatibility Part of this is a reimplementation of Pos…

    Show HN: Replacebase – library to migrate away from Supabase

    Hey folks! There has been a lot of talk recently about the reliability of Supabase and migrating away to other database providers (or even hosting Postgres yourself). I'm a big pro…

    Yes. We are taking a stab at the entire infrastructure like Heroku did but with a focus on a coding agent-centric workflow: https://specific.dev

    Comment #46863563

    We have been working on this, letting any coding agent define infrastructure so we can define it effortlessly: https://specific.dev . We aren't just targeting non-developers though…

    You hit the nail on the head. > But those things are exactly things that LLMs already solve, especially for vibecoders who don't even know what the code is doing. For them it'd be …

    With that, I was referring to the definition in the article: "The spec is the main source file over time, and only the spec is edited by the human, the human never touches the code…

    Comment #45619309

    The note on how all those tools seem to mostly be spec-first and vague about spec maintenance was interesting to me. Me and my cofounder have been going all-in on spec-as-source, a…

    Comment #45600390

    I think specs embedded into existing code is a good idea as well, in fact there is some work being done in this area, like the Kiro editor: https://kiro.dev/ We have gone the all-s…

    Ah yes, we haven't spent as much effort on it as we could. Mostly been building the product itself! Pricing is still to be determined. I imagine we will charge for infra usage (pro…

    That's a fair take. We are planning on showing the output code to remove that need for trust, but focused on other things for the open beta. As for who it's for, we are targeting t…
