Some of the animations are really good and make sense based on the icon. Others just draw the SVG path or wiggle/bounce a bit. If I were the creator here I might differentiate this into two buckets: custom animation or not. And then al

Anecdotally, if you add a basic todo management tool, you'll get a massive improvement to non-trivial tasks.

There's a CUDA backend for MLX now. Not sure about the maturity.

> 12 hours have things changed around this recently? I know openai optionally allows 24 hours but thought it was ~1h without that, and anthropic used to quote 5-15 minutes or something.

For future reference you can format code on hn with a newline first then indenting each line by 2+ spaces. (Rather than triple tick)

Hmm not sure I necessarily agree. Cloudflare's strategy has been looking like "the only platform you need" for a while now. Their recent features / announcements have been equivalent to: (LaunchDarkly) Resend, Firecrawl,

Throwing a few things out - HN has changed over the years, but people make stuff to make stuff. There don't need to be product use cases. The tone of the comment goes against the spirit of HN - likely the reason for downvotes. That asi

There is unfortunately likely a lot of truth to this. I like Kotlin, but, anecdotally, I've only ever chosen it due to needing JVM

That's Grok 4.2 not 4.3 right? And why are you comparing to gpt-4.1? (As opposed to one of the 6? model releases since then - would have expected gpt 5.5)

Slack, GitHub, Figma, AWS, etc Lots of people use firebase, supabase etc. Many people's jobs are centered around using Salesforce It all makes me uncomfortable- I want to be able to work without internet. But it's getting more dif

There are plenty of engineers that couldn't work without a modern IDE or in languages without memory management. Or without the ability to use a library from GitHub / their package manager. It doesn't feel THAT much different

Endless fields of grass and other things where you can make copies of a single base thing and just argue in some parameters like position, color, type etc are cheap to render. Making them sway or react to a body also isn't a problem.

Highly recommend instead reading the human created "The Illustrated GPT-2" by Jay Alammar - https://jalammar.github.io/illustrated-gpt2/ And his similar work. He also has a free course on "how llms work

Opus 4.7 feels worse for me than 4.6, and that's not even taking into account the 50% extra tokens at 3x the price

I never use xhigh due to overthinking. I find high nearly always works better. Purely anecdotal.

This was absolutely the case - not actually that much more productive - until only a few months ago. We hit some sort of tipping point between models and harnesses and people learning how to use the tools idk. And directs / engineers &

Wasn't meant to be personal- I was using the proverbial "you". I keep seeing what I'm referring to happen - folks are using / opening their editor less and less. What's crazy is a developer can go on a walk and

I have read many comments saying Qwen3.5 various ~30B models, Gemma 4 ~30B models and now Qwen3.6 "better than sonnet". I don't know how large sonnet and opus are but the rumor is 1T and 5T respectively.

Once you work somewhere that gives you unlimited opus 4.6 and learn how to use it properly, your perspective of what you should be doing day to day shifts. Honestly unlimited codex with 5.4 high has a similar effect. SOTA models + harnesses

People will insist otherwise, but I haven't seen anything close to sonnet 4.6 that can be run locally.

Indeed. Codex on $20/m is incredibly usable. Lots of value. My anthropic subscription keeps being worth less and less.

I was a massive jetbrains fan - still believe it's the best IDE even with it's massive performance issues. But I just... barely use an IDE anymore. I think I have the lowest possible subscription price for "all products"
