Indeed! It's ludicrous how much I can still squeze out of a 9USD/month lite sub with Z.ai, it's beyond me how these US LLM providers are still managing to keep their evaluations so high... they seem to have the highest prices

Understood. Personally that's actually another good reason to boycott Anthropic: beside the fact I perceive their models as (at best) marginally better than the ones I'm used to (Z.ai glm-5.3-flash, DeepSeek Flash v4.1), they even

I'm curious, what are the reasons to use Claude Code anymore when there are so many other (allegedly better) OpenSource harnesses out there? Personally I've been using https://pi.dev for long and never looked back.

Exactly. Think what would happen if it was a Chinese LLM company behind such an attack...

I root for Mistral and hope they'll be successful, perhaps I'll buy a subscription too once they're good enough for coding aid (perhaps they are now, didn't do any test with their models recently). First of all, they rel

I don't find it that much anymore, it takes me perhaps what, 5'? 10' at most. Generally it all fits comfortably in a small portion of the half side of the max-23kg-luggage with the zip to divide from the rest of the clothes,

For the last few days I've been experimenting with the _free_ version of Hy3 offered by Opencode Go and I was also surprised to see how (relatively) good it is on coding tasks too. The free quota from Opencode Go is also surprisingly g

Might not be the right move for everyone but I'm very happy to have invested some time and effort to setup my personal Forgejo instance. I've blogged about it too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48978707

It is for me, I'm pretty sure I didn't tweak anything.

About the missing native support for Pi, I opened this issue long ago in case you want to add some pressure: https://github.com/docker/sbx-releases/issues/34 To work around that limitation I came up with this

Hello folks! I've recently resurrected my will for tech blogging and I thought someone else out there might also be considering setting up a Forgejo instance so I took the time to write about my journey into it. I'm looking forwar

Thanks to being unemployed, the last few months I've been experimenting a lot with coding agents, harnesses and most importantly, the workflows around them. Currently I'm refining what I think works best for me, which I'd cal

Same here. Moving from OC to Pi also taught me one more time that less is more and I don't need most of the features I thought I needed.

If you haven't yet you should give a chance to https://pi.dev I've been using it exclusively (and extending it, see https://a.l3x.in/ai ) for months with mainly GLM-4.7 then 5.1 and now 5.2 and I could

Try lowering thinking level with GLM-5.1, to me that seems to have an impact on mitigating the blocking behaviour.

After successfully replacing Terraform with CDK in a real life project I take the chance to wrap up the new knowledge along with some Terraform vs. CDK kind of considerations. I also synthesize the acquired know-how in a mini tutorial based

For a while I wanted to manage my CV in a more flexible way. I stumbled upon a great article on CSS-Tricks that made me think I had no more excuses to procrastinate. In this article I present my solution along with some considerations.
