    Have they ever talked about their size or weights?

    5.4 Mini's OSWorld score is a pleasant surprise. When SOTA scores were still ~30-40 models were too slow and inaccurate for realtime computer use agents (rip Operator/Agent). Curio…

    You can provide the screencapture cli as a tool to Claude and it will take screenshots (of specific windows) to verify things visually.

    In my experience, especially with Opus 4.6, using subagents greatly mitigates the startup context hit. 4.6 has very obviously been RL'ed on subagent usage and it almost always spin…

    Ask HN: Embedding Claude Code as infrastructure?

    With Anthropic's release of Claude Code code reviews at $25/PR, I was wondering why I wouldn't just hook up Claude Code to my own repo. More generally speaking, I'd guess there to …

    To be clear, it's not a TEE replacement but does address one of the most common use cases of TEEs

    Seems pretty obvious Sky.app's functionality will land in the macOS ChatGPT app at some point. I wonder how Atlas fits into that story.

    Sky is macOS only. It essentially gives an LLM access to various system APIs coupled with a floating user interface that you can access on command.

    By parallel, do you mean editing the codebase in parallel? Does it use some kind of mechanism to prevent collisions (e.g. work trees)?

    What kind of agents do you have setup?

    Curious about this too – does it use the standard context management tools that ship with Claude Code? At 200K context size (or 1M for the beta version), I'm really interested in t…

    A bit confused, all this to say you folks use standard containerization?

    I sense the undertone here is that there's a cost to genetic testing – did I get that right? Could you expand on that philosophy?

    I mostly agree with your first point, but is there not a chance for more serious disease to be detected? In which case specialized preventative care is the best path forward? There…

    Thanks for spurring the thought. The main reason I'd like to find out is to avoid bringing a child into the world that might suffer from incurable disease. Largely agree with your …

    I only care about testing for genetic health issues. I don't want my DNA to be inserted in a database that can be cross-referenced to check for relatives, ancestry, etc.

    Ask HN: Any interest in a dev-friendly financial tracker?

    Earlier this year I built a personal financial tracker (expenses, budgets, goals, investments) unsatisfied with options on the market (copilot, mint, etc.). It's got a bunch of fea…

    Great, let's punish early stage startups instead of rewarding the successful ones.

    How are startups supposed to afford this? How are talented H-1B workers supposed to start companies? And no, the answer is not always an O-1. I know plenty of foreign founders cont…
