    This is a very good analogy. You have to do way more effort to make sure it's correct than if you have asked it yourself with a controlled context. I generally don't want to feel l…

    I very much like Go's simplicity, but nils are terrible. Pointers carry 3 different intents that are not encoded in the code: - Optionality - Mutability - Memory optimisation I agr…

    Who is going to maintain all these forks? The person forking it has no community and can't realistically be an expert in all of these domains. So no, it doesn't "work", it just wor…

    I find this kind of rewrite both disrespectful and completely useless. Useless because the difficulty isn't getting to a working state but maintaining it. You now have to build a c…

    At this stage, AI is no longer a tool that enhances your ability to ship code, it has replaced you entirely in that role. You don't control what is shipped, and you can't verify if…

    Don't you need to obtain consent before filming random people in the street? I already feel uncomfortable when someone takes a photo in public and I happen to be in it, but this ty…

    I've been using Claude for a little over a year, but the recent events with DoW are making me want to explore European alternatives. I'm willing to give Devstral 2 a try, but I'm n…

    Domestic mass surveillance might feel tolerable when you live in the country conducting it. But how would you feel about other countries adopting similar policies, and thereby mass…

    On my personal coding agent I've introduced a setup phase inside skills. I distribute my skills with flake.nix and a lock file. This flake installs the required dependencies and se…

    I pay a Max subscription since a long time, I like their model but I hate their tools: - Claude Desktop looks like a demo app. It's slow to use and so far behind the Codex app that…

    It's not HTML purism. It's simply recognizing that HTML and CSS have evolved a lot and many things don't need (or are close to not need) JS anymore. This shouldn't be taken as an a…

    My bad, in the context of the article you are definitely right. I think I was biased by the fact that this argument was used in an HN comment where people tend to be heavy users of…

    This article compares a single ChatGPT query against 1h of video streaming. Not apple to apple comparison if you ask me. Using Claude Code during an hour would be more realistic if…

    I suppose yes. That's actually what happened with distributed rate-limit.

    Looks like it's OpenAI response to Google's Agent Payment Protocol (AP2) but without the micro transaction part.

    Do you mind telling us a bit more? I never used OpenCode, what makes it better in your opinion?

    There's a bit of UI around it where you can accept the plan. I personally stopped using it and instead moved to a workflow where I simply ask it to write the plan in a file. It's m…
