The big thing on their roadmap is rearchitecting for something that can handle the increased load, though. Like, they're clearly paranoid that if they don't move fast, they're going to be just as busted as Github.

The comments aren't an LLM thing, they're a Claude thing. Codex doesn't write those gross hyper-verbose comments.

Everything in this article is purely fake. The numbers don't add up, don't match any reported info, and are just fiction.

This terrible unsourced article seems to be citing this information piece: https://www.theinformation.com/newsletters/applied-ai/uber-c... ... but the key fact about "$500-$2000" per engineer does not ap

Most Kickstarters have a fake low goal so that they can hit it and "blow past it by 1000%!!!" If a Kickstarter hits its goal, but then still cancels, that typically wasn't their real goal.

I just run them in separate terminals. The only real gap was that I couldn't tell the robot to open files in nvim when I wanted to look at them, the way it could in other IDEs, so I whipped up a quick skill ( https://github.c

ChatGPT thinking models are very good; the instant model is bad. Gemini is always desperate to find an answer, and will give you one no matter what.

It sold terribly. The update was super-minimal, and mostly seemed to have been made for production-simplification reasons (as in: it was cheaper to update it than to keep making the old product, and they apparently didn't want to just

If you believe that any country should have a military and intelligence apparatus, the job of that apparatus is to kill people and surveil foreigners. I do think the US government should have a military and intelligence apparatus. Therefore

I think it's definitely true that you should never count on a company to do principled things forever. But that doesn't mean that nothing is real or good. Like Google's support for the open web: They very sincerely did suppor

So there are two possibilities here: 1. There's no substantive change. Hegseth/Trump just wanted to punish Anthropic for standing up to them, even if it didn't get them anything else today -- establishing a chilling effect fo

If the government doesn't want to sign a deal on Anthropic's terms, they can just not sign the deal. Abusing their powers to try to kill Anthropic's ability to do business with other companies is 10000% bullshit.

You can say yes to more of them, _but they still need to be worth it._ If you have an infinite well of ideas to grow your business, awesome. But there are a lot of companies that just don't have those ideas, where their growth is limit

Depends on the company, but I think it's fair to say that not every company has a roadmap to infinite growth.

Lots of options, but the one I use and would recommend is the Iris: https://keeb.io/products/iris-se-kit Advantages over the Ergodox: 1. No pointless layer of "inner" keys that you never use 2. The thumb keys

I feel like the Ergodox was traditionally a lot of people's first wacky split keyboard -- but for those that stuck around, it was rarely their last. These days, there are so many better options that it's hard to recommend Ergodox

That's true for the "Path 1" keyboards this article talks about. The other ones definitely take some time.

Conversely, I'm totally sold on it. The shoulder-hunching thing is so real. The thing I thought was ergonomic BS was the benefits of columnar/ortho layouts; everyone talked about how your fingers just moved vertically and it was s

The wild thing is, that "plateau" link is from September 2025, aka two months before Opus 4.5. Yeah, it's not a plateau.

I feel like the bigger issue is that Cruise evidently had an unsafe company culture (like Uber): It wasn't just that they had an incident, it's that they lied about the incident and tried to cover things up. This has been a pretty

I agree with that for programming, but not for writing. The stylistic tics are obtrusive and annoying, and make for bad writing. I think I'm sympathetic to the argument this piece is making, but I couldn't make myself slog through

No. The Apple TV _service_ does, and you can configure that service to be some kind of weird god service if you want. But you can also treat that service like any other normal service, one that only comes up if you launch it. In that case,

I think he's really getting at something there. I've been thinking about this a lot (in the context of trying to understand the persistent-on-HN skepticism about LLMs), and the framing I came up with[1] is top-down vs. bottom-up d

The resistance to those things was less angry, but it was there. giveupandusetables dot com no longer exists, but you can find plenty of chin-stroking blog posts about it. It was a big argument in the late aughts!

I'm not too worried about startups: We used to have startups when they had to buy expensive physical servers and pay for business-class T1 connections and rent offices and all that. The idea that you can start a company with $20 and a

I mean, your employer will pay it. $1K/month is cheap for your employer. But there is an interesting point about what it does to hobby dev. If it takes real money just to screw around for fun on your own, it's kinda like going bac

There are no reputable studies that show EVs having anything like the harms of legacy cars. The worst you can get is that if you're on a carbon-intensive grid, a Hummer EV might be as bad as a compact gas car.
