Hello HN. As a kid / teen I used to love playing the MMO Puzzle Pirates. I'd play for hours on end, doing the same puzzles to keep my ship moving. As an Adult I can't find the mult…

I love seeing this. Background removal is such a core task used in so many systems, I group it in with speech to text in terms of importance. I love seeing maturity getting pushed …

FYI: `/model claude-opus-5` works to use it even through `/model` still tries to serve 4.8

At this point just put the Pareto in the bag bruh

No pricing table? No benchmarks? This is just marketingslop. Image token pricing has been fairly steady while text token prices fall, yet image model release discussion seems to be…

I've noticed the same over the last two weeks. Some days Claude will just entirely lose its marbles. I pay for Claude and Codex so I just end up needing to use codex those days and…

LLMs have solved the Git problem without any need for other tooling. There is no learning curve anymore. You don't need to know any commands or even look at the CLI. You can explai…

My baseline was Jina, A Chinese model provider. I had major issues with their reliability. I have no comparison to provide in terms of offline metrics as I had to do an emergency m…

I can't say enough nice things about Cohere's services. I migrated over to their embedding model a few months ago for clip-style embeddings and it's been fantastic. It has the most…

One other thought to drill deeper into regarding lingering. I'm the type of guy that always moves with purpose. When I'm done doing something, I'm quick to leave. Looking back on m…

I'm two years ahead of you in this journey. I got divorced after just over a decade with my partner. Social engagements to me were always ad-hoc. I suck at planning so I often foun…

This is just a landing page. There's not even any decent product specs. Nothing technical. How does this make front page of hacker news?

One thing missing from this discussion is the blast radius of the product or repo in question. Let PMs land new widgets on internal dashboards or CSS changes in internal tooling. T…

I had the same problem but with a bad time machine backup. ~300GB of my 512GB disk, just labeled the generic "System Data". I lost a day of work over it because I couldn't do Xcode…

This is super cool! I'm wondering what applications typically look like? Send a little hash like this along with a big image to show while decompressing?

Funny timing. I just migrated my personal styling app off of Nano Banana. My main use case is editing user uploads to enhance their clothing images. A large part of it is preservin…

As someone who's been in the "AI" space for a while its strange how Hugging Face went from one of the biggest name to not a part of the discussion at all.

I disagree, using python for a web-server and something like celery for background work is a pretty common pattern. My reading of this is it more or less allows you to use Postgres…

Where I grew up there was no "Science Fair Circuit" like described in this article. Science fairs where a way for young kids (aged 8-10) to test silly hypothesis. There was no feed…

It's about preserving brand image. Destroying a product is favourable compared to selling it at a discount and making the brand you spent so much marketing appear "cheap".

We need a standard way of identifying agents/bots in the footers of posts. I even find myself falling for this. I use Claude Code to post a comment on a PR on behalf of myself, but…

It's refreshing to see a realistic (and familiar) product story laid out. I've gone through this exact process (Thankfully I didn't try to self-host email) trying to launch product…

Maybe I'm naive, but I find these re-engineering complex product posts underwhelming. C Compilers exist and realistically Claudes training corpus contains a ton of C Compiler code.…

It doesn't interact with sim. You still need XcodeBuildMCP for that. Hopefully future releases implement this functionality.

XcodeMCP (Native MCP added in 26.3) Implements this with RenderPreview RenderPreview: Builds and renders a SwiftUI #Preview, returns snapshot
