> it's been playing the game of economic protectionism for centuries. Equal to or more than other major countries? If so, can you show me anything supporting your claim?

I've tried Chinese open models few times before. They were fine, but they didn't come close to the benchmarks they were claiming. Now, maybe GLM 5.2 is close to Opus 4.7, but I don…

Hah. And you think a Govt agency will be able to do a rigorous enough examination to eliminate people who don't know that just because a method in C# is asynchronous does not mean …

Obsidian is great. And glad to see how you’re looking at plugin security. But one more thing you should consider is: How do you reduce the need for plugins for basic product behavi…

Easy to say that, isn’t it? I can almost guarantee that YOU also want and do consume much more than an average human on this planet. Never mind the fact that humans consume more th…

Will 1.5B people have a lot of very intelligent people too? Yes, some of the most intelligent! Will those intelligent people have the educational opportunities and research opportu…

Oh. So when you say “May we please have terraform back?” You mean “May we please have terraform back at my employer?” Why are you posting such an employer specific request on a pub…

My (admittedly one person's anecdotal) experience has been that when I ask Codex and Claude to make a plan/fix and then ask them both to review it, they both agree that Codex's ver…

Piggybacking on this post. Codex is not only finding much higher quality issues, it’s also writing code that usually doesn’t leave quality issues behind. Claude is much faster but …

Let’s call it JoyScript so it still shortens to JS. And so at least the name as some joy in it even if the language doesn’t.

Hah. It can’t be “I need to spend more time to figure out how to use these tools better.” It is always “I’m just smarter than other people and have a higher standard.”

I currently use GPT‑5.1-Codex High and have a workflow that works well with the 5-hour/weekly limits, credits, et al. If I use GPT‑5.1-Codex-Max Medium or GPT‑5.1-Codex-Max High, h…

In my AGENTS.md (which CLAUDE.md et al soft link to), I instruct them to "On phase completion, explicitly write that you followed these guidelines." This text always shows up on Co…

I stopped having the same issue of 100s of tabs of "math videos that I was going to watch one day" when I started saving them in my private playlists. Now I just have 100s of video…

Have you documented how you built this project using Kiro? Your learnings may help us get the best out of Kiro as we experiment with it for our medium+ size projects.

And the d20 rolled a 12 when you checked it for duration to hold? Man, lucky you! Give the dice a kiss!

First, “Plaintiffs ACCUSE the generative AI company.” Let’s not assume OpenAI is guilty just yet. Second, assuming OpenAI didn’t access the books illegally, my point still remains.…

Your comment seems unfair to me. We can say the exact same thing for the artist / IP creator: Tough luck, then. You don’t have the right to shit on and harm everyone else just beca…

Usually it’s much easier to be liberal when doing so doesn’t cost you meaningfully. I’d encourage you to evaluate for yourself if your stances are truly fair and if you’re truly li…

Just to be fair, for 90% of the world, the kinds of compensation many hacker news readers have (a Silicon Valley engineer who gets a high base plus bonus plus equity) would also be…

Sorry, I meant that the maximum they’re making is $2B. But in reality it’s surely a much smaller number. Which makes it even more unlikely that Apple is optimizing for developer fe…

There are 20M developer accounts. And Apple charges $100 per account per year. That's $2B in revenue. Apps on the App Store make $100B in revenue. So, Apple makes equivalent of 2% …

If relay gets popular, won’t some services simply start to block relay subdomain for registration to make it ineffective? Just like 10minutesemail etc are blocked in many places.

Have a series 6, used it in the pool (salted) the first time and the watch died. Had to get a replacement from them which took one week. I couldn’t do fitness tracking all that wee…
