Zulip is bad

Super happy to see someone take on slack. We just want a performant chat with simple features.

Slack integrations are overrated. Just give me webhooks.

Would love to see benchmarks on cognition's FrontierCode

I cannot believe they're sticking to their guns on this website design. It's awful.

Linear is probably starting to hit enshittification territory. The feature bload is immense and they are trying extremely hard to not be left behind on the AI wave.

My own experience is far from this. Steering the AI, early and while developing a change, matters sigificantly.

Therefore a maintainer is more likely to steer the AI in a direction that is aligned with the codebase.

The enshittification has begun. Time to move on!

Just improve what you have GitHub. Stop the AI bloatware. You will lose that race anyway, obviously.

I've been super happy with my Framework desktop. And since getting that I've been craving replacing my MacBook... This looks super attractive

Why are we treating LLM evaluation like a vibe check rather than an engineering problem?

Most "Model X > Model Y" takes on HN these days (and everywhere) seem based on an hour of unscientific manual prompting. Are we actually running rigorous, version-controlled evals, or just making architectural decisions based on whether a model nailed a regex on the first try this morning?

For me, GitHub CLI is the prime example of this. This CLI is so incredibly powerful when combined with regular command line tools. Agents know how to use head, tail, jq and so on to only extract the parts it needs.

The best selling point of CLIs is the ability to chain, transform and combine. MCP cannot do this.

They have a very nice comparison in terms of performance and price https://planetscale.com/benchmarks/aurora

I agree. If you strictly follow the syntax of "Example 1" in JavaScript (calling and awaiting on the same line), the observable output is identical to Python.

I suppose the author meant to say that if you first called your async function and then later did `await` you would have different behavior.

Totally. It's a very boring part of this that one would have to contend with.

I kinda feel the same way about Facebook. Groups, events, marketplace are amazing for community building. But it's just so hard to compete with Meta.

Safe can mean a lot of things to different people i guess. I would love to incorporate some sort of reputation signal.

Perhaps positive reinforcement after people have met? Or just having social links?

But yeah, i dont have it all figured out yet

I think something like the matrix protocol would be better. I would be especially interested in not storing unencrypted user messages. Matrix would be a good choice for this.

I've been thinking a lot about building an open source dating app as a non-profit offering.

I have a sense that succesful dating contributes highly to overall human happiness. It should be a public service similar to wikipedia or libraries.

Free forever, fair and safe, and responsibly managed. It's probably not that expensive to run. But idunno, i'm kinda frightened to "compete" in this market

While I respect anyone’s decision to spend their days playing pickleball, that life isn’t quite for me—at least not full time. I’m lucky to wake up every day energized to go to work

Bit of an unfair comparison though.. Most people dont retire from a job where you're literally handing people money.

That said, I'm a huge fan Bill's work post-microsoft :)

How do you know if someone uses Arch Linux? Don't worry they'll tell you ;)

All kidding aside, I recently migrated to EndeavourOS, but CachyOS looks dope too

AI

I have honestly been so excited to try this after listening to several videos of mitchell talking about his work. What a christmas present!

A terminal is so dear to us software engineers, and this seems like such a love declaration to the terminal.

Time to spend hours tuning my config!

I agree on the first part. Having used kagi for about 6 months it often lacks behind on recent things. I find myself automatically adding !g on such queries

at this point they should just start their own Python implementation :-)

The main reason im not concerned about AI-based entertainment is the same reason I watch human chess players. It's not only about technical capabilities. I can't explain fully why though..

There are tools like firecracker that significantly reduces docker overhead https://firecracker-microvm.github.io/

I believe fly.io uses that. Not sure if OP’s tool does that

This is pretty funny. I've been abusing this shitty API for a while to see who likes me in this dating app.

I didn't realise the problems were this bad. They've had massive issues with their tech stack from a user POV. I've multiple times had my phone running incredibly hot while using it.

Ive been using Zed's assistant panel heavily and have really enjoyed the experience. The UI can be a bit frustrating. Sometimes, when you write it's hard to get it to send your query. The new /workflow seems to really bridge the last gap to effectively edit the parts that im asking for help with changes.

I'm already paying for OpenAI API access, definitely gonna try this

Why do software engineers care so much about TUI? I really don't get it. I love a good command line program. But TUI just doesn't appeal to me.

I absolutely adore your coding videos where you implement new features. Any chance we'll get more of those with Ladybird?
