    Keen to try this out. Composer 2 is a reliable workhorse and much cheaper than the frontier models. Yes it may be based on Kimi, but it is good, really good. My workflow: - If its …

    Patrick, the problems you describe (speed, cost, cross-border friction) already have solutions. SEPA Instant, FedNow, PIX, and providers like Wise move money in seconds, at negligi…

    Thats not what OpenAI are claiming. They are claiming that there are two new flagship models and a router that routes between them. "GPT‑5 is a unified system with a smart, efficie…

    Planning was ok for me, much slower than Sonnet, but comparable. But some of the code it produces is just terrible. Maybe the routing layer sends some code-generation tasks to a mu…

    I agree, I just don't understand how the team at Cursor can say this: “GPT-5 is the smartest coding model we've used. Our team has found GPT-5 to be remarkably intelligent, easy to…

    Had Sonnet 4 not been able to?

    GPT5 is worse than 4.1-mini for text and worse than Sonnet 4 for coding

    It seems that OpenAI have got the PR machine working amazingly. The Cursor CEO said it's the best, as did Simon Willison (https://simonwillison.net/2025/Aug/7/gpt-5/). But I've fou…

    Amazing project. The question I have is why rust? Is the compiled WASM significantly faster than JS?

    Show HN: I made an interactive sentiment model comparison site

    Hey HN, I needed to assess the state of sentiment models and couldn’t find a good way to compare them. I built this interactive site that lets you compare 12 models side by side, f…

    Exactly, and LLM based tools can be very frustrating right now - but if you view the tooling as a very fast junior developer with very broad but shallow knowledge then you can deve…

    In a couple of years time I don't see why AI based tooling couldn't write Redis? Would you get a complete Redis produced with a single prompt? Of course not. but if extreme speed i…

    Comment #41992525

    I agree with you and its confusing to me. I do think there is a lot of emotion at play here - rather than cold rationality. Using LLM based tools effectively requires a change in w…

    I'm continually surprised by the amount of negativity that accompanies these sort of statements. The direction of travel is very clear - LLM based systems will be writing more and …

    Kinesis supports buffering - up to 900 seconds or 128mb. So you are way out on your cost estimations. Over time queries can start costing more due to S3 Requests, but regular spark…

    While that is true, its really not easy to do without re-writing from scratch and scrapping a load of features which is organisationally difficult to do. What large piece of softwa…

    Looks interesting, we solved this problem with Kinesis Firehose, S3 and Athena. Pricing is cheap, you can run any arbitrary SQL query and there is zero infrastructure to maintain.

    I wish they would do this. But my experience is that building efficient software is hard, and is very very hard the larger the team gets or the longer the product exsits. Even zoom…

    The point being made is that while this may be grating for you. It is magic for a large part of the population. This combined with chatgpt advanced voice mode shows a direction of …

    100% agree. We don't expect human developers to be perfect, why should we expect AI assistants. Code going to production should go through review. I do think that LLMs will increas…

    I have to agree with the parent. LLMs are excellent at a large range of NLP tasks. Of course they are not going to replace all ML models, but when it comes to NLP they are clearly …

    Thanks :-) I've not done much profiling on DuckDB and what the overhead is - i.e. after the data is parsed how much memory is used. Would be really interesting to push it to the li…

    while this is impressive technically I also get the feeling that we are back in 1982. Spreadsheets are great general purpose tools and useful for financial modeling. But I'd argue …
