This worldview is so bizarre and uncharitable that I'd be rather concerned to hear what any of your takes on politics might be. I've played with Antigravity for the past 48 hours for lots of different tasks. Is it revolutionizing

I would say it's the opposite. I believe there is zero evidence to support your allegation.

This would allow direct, constant competition between companies like Meta/Google and their Chinese counterparts. Americans could choose to use Chinese providers when they're outcompeting the American behemoths, and vice versa. We

But the US could have benefitted from China's social media and commerce platforms and China could have benefitted from the US's. That's my point. I am no economist or even that economics-knowledgeable and maybe I'm wrong

>It would rather rewrite a TLS library from scratch than bother to ask you if the network is available. This is definitely one of the biggest issues with coding agents at the moment. That said, from my experience, Codex so often does thi

I don't think that's what they were trying to imply there.

I do not believe that Google Antigravity is aimed at wooing investors. I believe it is intended to be a genuine superior alternative to Cursor and Kiro etc. and is attempting to provide the best AI coding experience for the average develope

Jules is the first and only one to add a full API, which I've found very beneficial. It lets you integrate agentic coding features into web apps quite nicely. (In theory you could always hack your own thing together with Claude Code or

I know Google is quick to shut things down but these ultra-cynical ultra-skeptical HN takes are so tiresome at this point.

They're all going to have quite divergent opinions on how to structure the fork and various other design decisions that would inevitably lead to forks of the fork again. I think forking VS Code is probably the most sensible strategy an

I am very sensitive to input latency and performance but after comparing Zed and VS Code for a while I really couldn't find any reason to stick with Zed. It's been a year or so since I last tried it but VSC just lets me do way mor

I've found that annoying too, but you can always rebind them as you wish. It's only a few new keybinds that get in the way of my muscle memory. That said I also have moved to CLI agents like Claude Code and Codex because I just fi

Because there are plenty of good reasons why you may want to modify/extend the code and the look and feel beyond what an extension would let you do. I never understood why people scoff at VS Code forks. I'd honestly tend to be mor

As a daily Claude Code and Codex user, I've really got to start getting into jj. I keep telling myself I will but I'm just so used to git. Can you elaborate on how you personally use jj workspaces with command-line coding agents?

I think this is probably just a matter of noise. That's not been my experience with Sonnet 4.5 too often. Every model from every provider at every version I've used has intermingled brilliant perfect instruction-following and weir

I am very ignorant in this field but I am pretty sure under the hood they are all still fundamentally built on the transformer architecture, or at least innovations on the original transformer architecture.

I think I and many others have found Sonnet 4.5 to generally be better than Sonnet 4 for coding.

I will disregard your cowardly "/s" and say: no, I bet it isn't.

I think it's a fun and interesting idea for training junior engineers and possibly for other use cases. Suggesting alternatives to (perceived) bad practices the instant you see them could be helpful for many people, and also save a lot

The fact that people are still saying things like what the post you're replying to is saying really makes it so clear how Democrats have to face endless false propaganda from the left and the right while Republicans generally don'

Like half this sub-thread is driving me insane. The deep hatred of Democrats (for decades) from the left is very frustrating to me. They may not be as left-wing as those people might like but they're in fact not nearly as bad as the Re

I fully agree with your stance on Elon but I simply find Twitter too useful for too many things to quit. I've tried Bluesky and although I am very left-leaning on sociocultural topics I just find them too... annoying over there. (I&#x2

If a company is consistently abusing its status as a monopoly, punishment should ensue. But simply being a monopoly can mean you simply outcompeted everyone else and others fail to outcompete you. You might continue winning fair and square.

I don't think the person you were replying to was necessarily strongly implying that many or perhaps most Americans wouldn't become permanently unemployed or unemployable. Hamstringing productivity and technology because of possib

As long as it's not a monopoly that is effectively impossible to beat: yes, I do. I broadly consider myself left-wing but I think the libertarians are kind of right on that point.

Unpopular opinion here but I don't see any benefit in breaking up goliaths like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, OpenAI. OpenAI (optically) came out of nowhere and took over everything in a few years. A future company also could. We should p
