The tiles are not supposed to ablate - they're supposed to be ~fully reusable. That said I think it's plausible that the much higher iteration speed and lack of a need for human-rating (at least during reentry, for now) will all

uv has a lot of great features, but the dependency resolution is why I'm a fanboy. It can resolve trees that pip gives up on, and it does it 20x faster than poetry (100x faster than pip) - saves me half an hour on some big projects.

I wonder about this when I see someone post their own work without the Show HN prefix - is it always supposed to be a Show? (Enforcement/community objection to the lack thereof doesn't seem to be very strenuous, if so. Or, maybe

If this is accurate it raises the question: why is this model so expensive? DeepSeek v4 Flash is 284B total/13B active, FP4/FP8 mixed, and only costs $0.14/$0.28 - even less from OpenRouter. Of course Gemini 3.5 Flash is mo

This is a problem with all of devops imo - everything is a magic yaml config file and they're very difficult to debug or reason about unless you _just know things_.

Yes - I was thinking about starting my own business but am staying put instead and saving as much as possible.

And in my experience this means you usually have to go to both the DMV and then across town to the tag agent.

The consumption aspect is perhaps similar, but the crowds at Costco are much, much worse (in quantity mainly) than any other grocery or big-box store I've ever been to. I also refuse to go to Costco these days. Every once in a while

We quoted that book for years (probably because the accompanying audio version had a somewhat amusing cadence, but I do also think it was a lot more beneficial to learning than trudging through classical texts with a dictionary).

I theorize that this kind of thing - verification approaches that do already exist but which a human would not usually reach for - is a result of RLVR. I've noticed Claude Opus a couple of times trying to use `nm` to check that its cha

I think you're right, but journalists have gotta stop calling them ebikes. We already have a widely used term that fits them perfectly and is legally accurate - moped.

To retain and recruit talent, and protect from lawsuits (you usually have to sign a release to receive severance/a buyout). Generally only difficult to recruit and highly in-demand employees get these packages - most people over here

Problem is that it's been heavily contaminated with people speculating about who the author is. It would probably be difficult to get an unbiased answer out of it (although who knows - it's crazy that it can do this at all).

Probably because it appears to have been written by an LLM (the post too, but I assume comments are more easily killed by flags (?)). (To be clear I did not flag it myself.)

This might actually be quite nice - the Blender Python API is currently very useful and very touchy. Lots of differences in behavior in headless mode which are hard to debug (because you can't open the GUI to see what's happenin

You can use Copilot Chat* with basically any API provider, and if you switch to the VS Code Insiders build you can configure it to use literally any OpenAI API-compatible endpoint. Other than that Zed has a similar experience which is pre

SynthID survives basic transforms including screenshots/photos, although it can of course be defeated. Even still it helps with the laziest fakes, which there seem to be a lot of - I've seen several quite widespread misinformative

Not that I'm aware of. It's kind of like building a PC or a bicycle - you're putting mostly-standardized parts together rather than starting from first principles, but there are so many permutations that you can either use a

I'd use it if I hit the 5 hour quota mid-change and then came back later in the day in a new terminal (depending on the input/output ratio of my now un-cached context, of course).

The touchscreen is backward-compatible with the old/regular FW13, so I imagine the regular FW13 screen is forward-compatible with the Pro. (Of course, I don't know if they'll sell that configuration or if you'd have to

All four ports support Thunderbolt 4 - if you scroll down to "Interfaces" on the product specs page there's a graphic showing everything that's supported.

First of all nothing you can run locally, on that machine anyways, is going to compare with Opus. (Or even recent Sonnet tbh - some small models benchmark better but fall off a bit in the real world.) This will get you close to like ~Sonnet
