I guess he’s proud of ruining a human-to-human platform? Alright?

This is so cool!! What a nifty way to make use of a pico

Ohhhh yours is much nicer than mine! Though different approaches and feels

I feel like they look more cloud-like in motion, but point taken.

bout to add a new issue lol

honestly no idea?

I love this post and the watch face! Makes me want a pebble for some real customization!

I’ve also got two 7 month olds! It really is beyond any struggle I could have pictured. You got this!!!

Wanted to share the first demo of a game I've been noodling on for a little while. Trying to gauge some interest before previewing it on Steam and devoting more resources to it.

toast has seen some more active development as I have found my footing as a dad. The thing I wanted most was a nice system theme that worked with how my terminal felt. So I added that and also gave the landing page a little redesign to celebrate it. I'm now using toast for my IDE ~70% of the time, for everything except long sessions of staring into the ~void~ code. I'll noodle on what it would take to get it up to 100%.

The unofficial status page for GitHub provides an un-biased look at overall reliability for the platform. I think you get an even better picture for how the platform feels when you filter by when you're interacting with it. You'll have a much different picture if you're using it during US business hours than nights/weekends. This is a little way to prove that, yes it can feel like GitHub is wholly unreliable during my working day.

You’re probably right. My wife and I like to joke about what a different experience a singleton would be

Not anymore. After the claude shut off I decided to look around since I found it heavy. I’m on Hermes now with StepFun 3.5 Flash. I mostly just use it as a glorified calendar manager over signal. That being said, it feels like it meets the cross roads “of a cheap executive assistant”. Granted it’s not wired up to my work slack or anything. StepFun is a good enough model for tool calling that so far has been incredibly cheap that I’m happy with it. I suspect I won’t crack $5 of api cost to run it. But I also don’t think the Hermes harness is good enough for development-via-text like openclaw+opus is. I still find myself in the terminal using open code for that.

Mmm I'd say bath supplies? You're only ever doing one baby at a time. So one baby tub, comb, etc. They can even share a towel for the first few months.

As of ~5 months ago, I became a father to a beautiful boy and girl. During my few months getting ready I saw little twin content marketed to dads (fair, moms do vastly more work!), so I figured I would share my experience and a few little tools and tricks that has made life a little easier.

If there is any dad in hackernews having a rough time, my email is at the bottom. Please reach out, support can make a world of difference.

imo that’s what I’m doing. Trialing the Hermes harness since I can hook it up to signal. StepFun 3.5 Flash for general assistant stuff and Kimi/Minimax for software development

I'm moving off of Claude Code due to constant limit hits. I use it for some personal software development, but I mostly use it for simple personal assistant queries via the Hermes harness and signal.

As I was moving off, I wanted a quick and easy way to compare what Opus would produce with what some open solutions can do. So I spun up a little comparison markdown and generated a webpage from it. I'll update it as new open models come online and I can hit them from OpenRouter.

Right now I'm really jazzed about how cheap StepFun 3.5 Flash for these basic personal assistant tasks that feel like the really valuable part of all of this.

Is Opus cooked? For complex engineering work I'm still unsure, but for front-end design I think it still comes out ahead. I do think you can get a digital assistant that when wired up with the right harness, you could probably run for under ~$5 a month.

I use Claude Code for getting things done, Zed for general IDE viewing of long form documents, and I’m also building my own in-terminal IDE-lite called toast (https://github.com/paradise-runner/toast still very early development!!) that id like to be able to replace zed with.

Happy New Year from Fort Collins, Colorado USA!

I made a TUI to do something similar. It’s taking a backseat during parental leave, but it’s a fun project to see n number of agents iterating on the same problem and to see how they differ.

A multi-agent TUI that uses opencode and tmux to help me solve the frustrating LLM slot machine problem. I find that running 3 agents in parallel on even tough problems is enough to have one that builds what I want.

It’s also been a fun challenge to build a tool that can be used to improve itself

I tried both nvim and helix from vscode, and no luck. I feel like I don’t need a lot (syntax highlighting, lsp, goto definitions, file hot reloads, and crucially, a file tree). I can kinda get nvim there, but it falls apart when I can’t just enter and exit the file tree+file viewer with a simple ‘vi or q!’. Maybe I don’t understand quite how to get the config just right, but so far a friendly terminal first code editor seems out of my grasp.

I love hosting my personal git, so glad to see others do! I use it for certain projects that I just want to be lazy about (personal website with sensitive data committed to the repo) projects that are for friends/family and don’t need to be public. I chose gitea maybe 2 years ago? And it’s been great. Very light weight compared to gitlab, with useful things like actions. So I can push a new commit to main on my personal server and it’ll deploy my website to the server. I still publish things I want to share to GitHub, but not everything.

I think the thing that sets it apart from others would be I run it on a m2 Mac mini? Very low power consumption, never makes any noise, and seemingly has plenty of power for whatever I need to get done.

I think counter to your experience I don’t know a single developer who uses Codium. While I get the frustration, it may come soon but not immediately.

And also more than most people want to have setup in the living room. My wife would rather have ads on YouTube occasionally than an ugly computer plugged in all the time. It’s also more difficult to deal with than a remote you can work one handed.

I haven’t programmed this issue specifically, but Billy Strings has sat in with Trey Anastasio a few times. For me if they do a cover of the guests song, I would say it’s a cover until that member is added to the lineup. I would check how the PhishNet API handles it (I think they have a is_original Boolean). Phish does “covers” of the 2001 theme, I’d wonder if that’s considered a cover even though it was just a small tone poem from 100+ years ago??

This doesn’t square with most of my experience with React, especially if use it to generate static code hosted by nginx. I’ve found my personal site to always be wicked fast, even though it’s not that complex.

Accommodate religious groups??? They literally have forced re-education camps for minorities. This is off the wall crazy

Yeah, we all go through it. I got a degree in economics and we used a program called SPSS developed by IBM to do regression analysis. No one in the industry uses it and it was very frustrating looking for a first job and no one was wanting the software I learned in university. But university isn’t about leaning to uses tool and apply it somewhere else, it’s about the underlying concepts and the people you get exposed to. I don’t use regression analysis in my job any more, but I’m much more prepared in doing numerical analysis than my co-workers who have traditional CS or marketing degrees.

I feel like the problems airlines face when not running a hub-and-spoke model would be a good market for quantum computing? Could be totally wrong though. Lots and lots of variables and permutations and options to sift through.
