    Have you ever been forced to code something impossible and tedious by a user who keeps getting more and more frustrated as you keep trying?

    Wayland is great and I generally prefer it, but it's worth keeping X around for KDE Plasma I think. Things like remote desktop are nicer on X, X is much easier to use on Android co…

    If DDG got 28% more visits, Google lost about .6% of their visits.

    Wow. Hopefully, Ternus will bring what he brought to Apple's hardware to their software. The hardware is leaps and bounds ahead of anything else, but their software gets worse and …

    Seems like it's down right now. I guess that's the "State of Homelab"? :)

    ChatGPT recommended me some good hard drives for price per TB, and one particularly cheap one had direct checkout with Walmart, so I tried it, because why not? It let me get all th…

    I'm currently using a fully vibe-coded, personal River window manager that works just how I want it to. I switched to it after I realized I couldn't do everything I wanted in Hyprl…

    Wait... weren't there many ARM Chromebooks already?

    "Prediction" markets were supposed to be great because of insiders: they make the probabilities much more accurate and actually useful for forecasting. But they ended up just being…

    Is this essentially a cloud-managed specialized subagent with an LLM-friendly API? Seems like an interesting new category.

    20% loss isn't too bad if you start out at double the capacity though.

    Ok, but something like Zed is almost as snappy as native GUI frameworks AND has a consistent user experience. It doesn't seem like they are making any tradeoffs there.

    Ask HN: KDE and Fedora or Omarchy?

    Are there any who have tried both? What are the advantages and disadvantages for devs?

    I think AI Studio uses the API, so rate limits are extremely high and almost impossible for a normal human to reach if using the paid preview model.

    Mathematicians don't do high school math competitions - the benchmark in question is AIME. Mathematicians generally do novel research, which is hard to optimize for easily. Things …

    The improvement from Claude 3.7 wasn't particularly huge. The improvement from Claude 3, however, was.

    Nice to see that Sonnet performs worse than o3 on AIME but better on SWE-Bench. Often, it's easy to optimize math capabilities with RL but much harder to crack software engineering…

    Interesting how Sonnet has a higher SWE-bench Verified score than Opus. Maybe says something about scaling laws.

    Wonder why they renamed it from Claude (e.g. Claude 3.7 Sonnet) to Claude (Claude Opus 4).
