The old saying is "don't multitask" but apparently that time is gone. I wonder what people think about this. I know there is a class of SWE/dev who now consider oneself as "the manager of agents". Good luck to

A subset of Japanese people use minimalism as a justification as lesser purchase power these days. That said, I think the Japanese commercial ecosystem is still less wasteful than the one in the US except the excessive plastic wrapping. I h

Does it support x64, x8664, arm64 and riscv? (sorry, just trolling - we don't know the quality of backend other than x8664 which is supposed to be able to build bootable linux.)

The sad part of this narrative is that Linux Desktop can be a thing, mostly because other options have gotten worse/enshittified vs Linux Desktop itself has gotten better (It has, but it is probably not the reason of the rise.)

His memoir "Hit Refresh" [1] was a reasonably interesting read, so I hoped at least a bit of personality. But this reads more like an internal memo from CEO to the ranks vs personal notes (It can actually aim to public version of

The CLI tools are the backends and they're talking about the desktop frontend aka GUI. These frontends depends on the CLI. It's essentially an API of the system in this world. I personally welcome this change as the current GUI is

I believe even in Japan Lua is more popular because of the reasons mentioned in other threads. When I worked at a game studio there Lua was the script engine of the choice, mostly because other companies are also using it and there was a tr

It seems: - "Thinking" is Gemini 3 Flash with higher "thinking_level" - Prop is Gemini 3 Pro. It doesn't mention "thinking_level" but I assume it is set to high-ish.

I occasionally buy DRM-free ebooks (tech books like O'Reilly) just to put it into NotebookLM, Claude etc. While I feel a certain amount of empathy to the authors, it's a table stake at this point to be honest.

Oh it's good old tokenization vs for-LLM tokenizations like sentence piece or tiktoken. We shouldn't forget there are non-ML simple things like this one which doesn't ask you to buy more GPUs.

Apple didn't over-hire like other big tech and it didn't have to do the huge layoffs unlike others. This has similar smell - It won't win big in any ways, but the damage of bubble burst can be much less significant to them th

It is not a spiral. The connection from "Engagement drops even further" to "AI gets better, harder to detect" doesn't make sense. It's not related. I agree that AI drags down the education, but it doesn't

I kind of enjoy /newest. Yes, the it has more noise, but sometimes you can get random interesting things without filtered by that HN bias. I do like that bias overall, but sometimes fresh unfiltered air is nice thing to have.

In this case the PR author (either LLM or person) is "honest" enough to leave the generated copyright header that includes the LLM's source material. It' not hard to imagine that more selfish people tweak the code to hid
