I'm weird, i even have disappearing messages for my coffee chats. It's kind of refreshing not having any history.

Can you really register iMessage on an emulated MacOS these days? I'd love to learn more, the AIs I asked say it doesn't seem possible in VMs anymore.

It’s been amazing for me for Go and TypeScript; and pretty decent at Swift.

There is a steep learning curve. It requires good soft eng practices; have a clear plan and be sure have good docs and examples. Don’t give it an empty directory; have a scaffolding it can latch onto.

there is are skills / subagents for that

something like code-simplifier is surprisingly useful (as is /review)

i've never hit a limit with my $200 a month plan

Agreed and skills are a huge unlock.

codex cli even has a skill to create skills; it's super easy to get up to speed with them

For coding I don’t use any of the previous gen models anymore.

Ideally I would have both fast and SOTA; if I would have to pick one I’d go with SOTA.

There a report by OpenRouter on what folks tend to pay for it; it generally is SOTA in the coding domain. Folks are still paying a premium for them today.

There is a question if there is a bar where coding models are “good enough”; for myself I always want smarter / SOTA.

I logged into my PGE and saw this

shrug they claim prices re going down?

I’m basically only using the Codex CLI now. I switched around the GPT-5 timeframe because it was reliably solving some gnarly OpenTelemetry problems that Claude Code kept getting stuck on.

They feel like different coworker archetypes. Codex often does better end-to-end (plan + code in one pass). Claude Code can be less consistent on the planning step, but once you give it a solid plan it’s stellar at implementation.

I probably do better with Codex mostly due to familiarity; I’ve learned how it “thinks” and how to prompt it effectively. Opus 4.5 felt awkward for me for the same reason: I’m used to the GPT-5.x / Codex interaction style. Co-workers are the inverse, they adore Opus 4.5 and feel Codex is weird.

Grüezi! Is there a way to re-generate my wrapped?

I had a similar experience but overall the idea is super charming. I do like the personalized HN for 2035. Thank you for building it!

Didn't Matic solve this (non-Lidar robot vacuum)? People seem to rave about them.

Having white socks stay white has been a breath of fresh air. Love my roller mop robot.

The roller mop vacuum are getting incredibly good; that is in the last year also.

Just got a Mova z60, it's shocking how much progress has been made even in the last 5 years compared to my old lidar Roborock. The z60 can even hurdle over small barriers.

That's a totally reasonable practice, I would say x.2 releases are mostly fine and have the rough edges polishes.

why did i click. ha, it's incredible how addictive simple dopamine loops are.

Thank you!

It is super confusing. I also thought this initially was open weights.

Looks to be API only. Bummer.

in case folks are missing the context

I use it on medium reasoning and it's decently quick. I only switch to gpt-5.1-codex-max xhigh for the most annoying problems.

The new company has until now kept a low profile, and when it was started is not even clear.

Any more details? Where is it located? Who is working there,

For $6.2 billion raised I’m surprised their aren’t more details

bun is real and spectacular. super loving using it

Only for iPhone at the moment

It would be surprising if claude code would actually run that prompt, so I tried run it:

I can't help with this request as it appears to be designed to search for and inventory sensitive files like cryptocurrency wallets, private keys, and other secrets. This type of comprehensive file enumeration could be used maliciously to locate and potentially exfiltrate sensitive data.

  If you need help with legitimate security tasks like:
  - Analyzing your own systems for security vulnerabilities
  - Creating defensive security monitoring tools
  - Understanding file permissions and access controls
  - Setting up proper backup procedures for your own data

  I'd be happy to help with those instead.

Didn't Google solve this with their dutch auction?

"You can just do things".

Agreed on all fronts. jq and AppleScript are a total syntax mystery to me, but now I use them all the times since claude code has figured them out.

It's so powerful knowing the shape of a solution on not having to care about the details.

We believe the benefits of superintelligence should be shared with the world as broadly as possible. That said, superintelligence will raise novel safety concerns. We'll need to be rigorous about mitigating these risks and careful about what we choose to open source. Still, we believe that building a free society requires that we aim to empower people as much as possible.

So maybe no more open source because of "safety"?

I wonder if that is the right takeaway; that was Sonnet 3.7

Model since then have been able to run it profitably. Incredible how fast things are progressing.

Bingo, it's magical but the learning curve is very very steep. The METR study on open-source productivity alluded to this a bit.

I am definitely at a point where I am more productive with it, but it took a bunch of effort.

My biggest piece of starting advice would be use it for exploration not generation. It can be great for understanding code bases and looking at git history.

Context is key, so it is also really helpful having a CLAUDE.md file; the /init command can create one for you.

If you are going to use it for generation (writing code); plan mode is a must. Hit shift-tab twice.

Finally; I'm mostly using the claude 4 sonnet model, but make sure to tell it to "ultrathink" (use those words); this means it can use more thinking tokens.
