tintinweb/pi-subagents. Then I use superpowers and it spins up subagents automatically. Works really well and you can customise the models and efforts you want to use with local AG…

Pi harness with subagents is pretty great. I’m using it for everything now.

Well no king would ever accept and propagate that religion.

Not hard to understand. People will pay for a better UX. Which Plex has, once you disable all the streaming junk. Also there’s simply more clients for it. The only way to play Blur…

This assumes Valve isn't artifically bumping up the Steam Machine for more exposure.

Well I don't know the details from Apple's side, and this was 20 years ago. That was just the discussion on the ground. I personally experienced a senior Mot employee grilling me a…

Psychotherapy. I've also done a lot of CBT in the past - but I found it didn't really solve my issues, just provides some temporary relief. I personally found going for a long walk…

Yep - meds. Tried a bunch and duloxetine is making a massive difference for me. On them for 4 months so far. Also picked up therapy yet again but tbh I never found therapy to reall…

This... I finally changed my life by talking to a psychiatrist after 40+ years of suffering and trying a myriad of things. Mental illnesses are real and need real treatment.

The irony to me is Apple did the exact same thing to Motorola back in the day, which I saw firsthand as a Mot eng. Poached employees and IP. I doubt the iPhone would have happened …

As an old timer, I saw this firsthand happen with Motorola. Apple did the same shenanigans, stealing IP and engineers. I doubt the iPhone would have happened otherwise. Jobs was ab…

The harness is so much better than cc which is a buggy mess. Gpt is also way faster than Claude. I’ve been using gpt for a while now and I know a lot of people that swapped away fr…

Yikes, why is this AI slop post #1 on HN? I have to deal with enough of this at work.

Watching companies burn themselves to the ground at the altar of AI is really something.

This is the one great feature about Gmail I think. But I haven’t touched Gmail in years, been on fastmail for about 6 years now. I’ve solved this by using the fastmail-mcp plugin a…

This sucks to hear. I honestly think the rise of LLMs will be the death of open source in the long run. Already, apparently, quality of OSS has dropped significantly since 2025 (so…

Thank god for Kagi. It literally saved search for me, although I mostly use kagi.com/assistant these days.

I almost always use orchestration tooling nowadays. cc itself feels too basic, even with things like superpowers.

Can golang do zero copy networking nowadays? In the past golang was terrible at this kind of thing due to allocations and copies of all relayed data.
