    My 2 cents (I hope I don't offend anyone, and of course Emacs community is amazing). I've been using Emacs full-time since ~2010 but I must admit it's been more like part-time alon…

    To understand what's happening here, I'd recommend you to first understand Representation theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representation_theory In representation theory we re…

    Thank you so much for this! I've been working on exactly this problem this week (which OpenRouter providers have the highest cache rate on average) because cache cost is sometimes …

    Calling current AI subscription services (especially Claude) "flat rate" (implying infinite access for a flat fee) is misleading. There are pretty strict hourly, daily, weekly, and…

    This github thread is incredible, thanks for sharing. This link should be its own HN topic.

    They're still legal tender, you can pay things with them. They just stopped producing new ones. It's supposedly permanent, but they can continue producing it any time in the future…

    No, I didn't misread, input can be self-generated of course. If you're writing a system that's designed like UserInput -> [BlackBox] -> Output, clearly user input won't be auto-gen…
