Yeah either the benchmark isn't very useful anymore or V4 Flash is a really, really good model.

Sorry, "Gemini 4 helped with editing"?

I kind of get what the article is saying. But I am looking at it from a different perspective. The same set of things like skills, and custom tools etc can actually be used to get …

Yeah I came to the same conclusion. Universities use all kinds of hard to setup stuff which are often custom built. Slurm configs, custom configured HPC servers etc. All of this pa…

I would have loved to see more of the harness engineering shared as code. Instead we are left with only the outcome. I guess that makes sense since the harness is the product in th…

I am afraid this is a very click-baity title. I actually opened the article and thought I would learn something from it. Instead what I read was typical issues about Agentic CLI's …

Thanks. I heard the word ABI so many times but only finally understood it after reading this blog. On another topic, I also feel like quansight blog is usually a high quality resou…

Why are the plans and pricing for all these products so complicated. I don't know where I need to sign up to try it out. What is pricing? Is it API or subscription, what? I had the…

What I don't get is how does one use it. Only through API? I don't really understand what Grok Build is? Is it an API? A CLI? What?

I have created my own opinionated setup but this comment is not about that. I do think that there should be a protocol such that using these tools becomes more standardized. For ex…

I feel like what happens is first they release a giant model. Then they start optimizing the model to increase inference speed and reduce costs. But then they introduce bugs leadin…

Document parsing is top of my mind lately because in some of the areas we work on the bottleneck is starting to become being able to query documents the same way one queries an api…

I see Netflix pumping out tech articles but can't help but notice how much worse the UI experience is getting. Video erroring out, general slowness etc. Did they just give up?

I finally switched to Zed + Terminal Thread + Tmux. The terminal agent threads allow me to run in multiple projects. They always run in a project scoped tmux session so they are al…

I am looking forward to testing out these for agent automation. I kept trying to figure out what the ideal infrastructure for this purpose is and right now from just reading about …

> made the most money > built the tools to verify, deploy, and build them, such as CI/CD, static analysis tools, and testing frameworks. Curious. Which company made money with test…

Curious how people use systems like this or DBOS etc. Do you self-host? Do you use the same DB as the application DB? Do you use this for API background jobs, batch jobs, cron jobs…

Not to take anything away from the work which is indeed useful but I found the article bizarre because of what references were used and what were omitted. The author talks about In…

> re-factoring a big repo of decades old fortran+C cod Having been in academia in the past and now in software I can say with a lot of certainty that this will take a lot more upfr…

I love using Homebrew but I wish there was more support for pinning. I recently setup a new remote VM and tried to use a Brewfile for my setup. Turns out I cannot pin Neovim and so…

This is pretty neat. I am more used to uv than pixi or mise so it would be an easier addition to my workflow. However I do think it would probably be nicer if this kind of approach…

Sorry, just trying to understand. Why would I use this over duckdb. duckdb already has plugins for a lot of databases. Is the syntax the advantage?

I always feel like I want to use something like this, but then realize my NeoVim setup + tmux + Ghostty is good enough and I am not ready to learn a whole another system for modest…

Funny that its hosted on vercel. Probably because its employee driven rather than top down. Saves all the bureaucracy to get someone to sign a budget item to buy a domain.

Is this article really worth sharing? A speculative headline with no numbers, no estimates, 0 data. Feels like click bait and HN is submitting to the bait.
