Out of curiosity I looked through your post history to find an example of a time you got downvoted for calling out AI comments. The first one I could find was 3 months ago ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47493096 ), wh

Being carelessly overzealous with flags/blocking is a reliable way to kill a community by making it overly toxic, speaking from experience.

Self promotion isn't banned, otherwise Show HNs wouldn't exist. The exact guideline, emphasis mine: > Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff part of the time, but the primary use

Just from looking at the sites in the BlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist blocklist, it blocks anything tangent to AI such as Hugging Face and other model developers like Mistral/Z.ai, not sites that actually post AI slop. That's a go

This is something that works better on paper in practice. Namely, there are a hell of a lot of false positives of AI use which frequently causes shitstorms on social media where someone says "AI?" in bad faith and now the OP has t

Yes. GPT-5.6 Sol is a sufficient economic substitute for Fable 5 power-wise, and Grok 4.5 is a sufficient economic substitute for Opus cost-wise.

"Wait, GPT-5.6 Sol is actually really good, we'll get killed if we remove Fable access."

If OpenAI rewrites Git in Rust that would be objectively hilarious.

It's a preemptive defense against methodology cynicism seen often on sites including but not limited to Hacker News. I've been guilty of including such defenses myself over the years because I've gotten annoyed with receiving

People will play AI-develped games, the problem is marketing them to a playerbase that is very vocal and hostile about it.

Yes, there is no separate price from the source API for Pro this time: https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/pricing It's now just a reasoning setting which I suspect OpenRouter does not support natively, so

I've used this strategy for difficult bespoke problems and it does indeed work to incentivize the agent not to give up prematurely. It's not gaslighting, it's motivation .

> Spend at least 8 hours on this before even thinking of returning or giving up. Do current model harnesses have concepts of amount of time spent? Sometimes the model notices if a subprocess takes too long/hangs and kills it, but I&

The cost-per-task benchmarks align incentives toward more efficient output and those are the ones gaining steam.

The livestream presenter goofed and said the test is typically a tricycle, so I wonder if that's just a coverup.

The developer's guide ( https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/latest-model ) has some interesting semantic tips for using the model: > Intent understanding: GPT-5.6 can better infer the user’s u

It's funny because the livestream email was trying to keep that a surprise until OpenAI announced it separately.

A month ago I wrote a blog post about how Hy3 was topping the OpenRouter rankings despite no one talking about it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48317294 As of today, it has fallen to 8/9th on the rankings. I do

Bun powers Claude Code. If the rewrite introduced catastrophic bugs, it would cause catastrophic bugs in Claude Code and therefore without exaggeration could cause $billions of lost revenue.

As steveklabnik noted above, Hacker News does not have a meme-y culture. Just because you made a joke doesn't mean it's inherently immune to criticism, especially when using the lowest-effort, most-overdone meme around agentic dev

Adding bespoke animations via Claude Code to the blog post is definitely thematic. It's unclear if they're useful data visualizations as they take a bit of time to parse, but they're neat.
