For me, it's that writing the blog post clearly took more effort than searching for the proper name of the feature. So writing in the blog post that they can't be bothered to find the proper name of the feature seems performative:

Based on the fact that Claude Code is only optimized for Anthropic models, whereas Pi and Omp are optimized for a wide variety of models, including open weights.

750t/s tells the story. This isn't purely (or even mostly) driven by parallelization.

I guess I don't find that particularly surprising - the whole point of analyzing customer behavior is to tailor the business to capitalize on it. I draw the line at verticals sharing data with each other, but I don't think it&#x27

This is a very fair take. McDonalds is entitled to the data about their customers' transactions with the business because that's the business. If they turned around and started selling it to health insurance, I'd have a probl

Yeah, the discussion is not differentiating between data that's collected, meaning it's not their data (and so they'd have to ask you for it), and data that is generated by the business itself, which is their data. Business

In general, I agree with you and I'm a privacy advocate. In this particular case, though, it seems like we're railing against the idea that a retailer with repeat customers keeps track of what those customers are buying most frequ

I mean, you're basically asking why people don't do high-quality original work and give it away for free, as opposed to copying something that's successful and giving it away for free. The answer in my mind is fairly obvious:

Same with my kids. At the bus stop by 6:30am, out doing sports and extra-curriculars until 8pm, then dinner+homework until 11pm or so, rinse and repeat.

Sibling comment called it: these are dynamic libs used by the desktop, so the incremental RAM usage is low. That's a good approach! Makes me wonder what the heck MS is doing to get their app to add an incremental gig to memory usage.

I mean, you're getting dumped on for this, but it seems about right? For an extreme example: curl https://wttr.in/ Inside of a conky widget would do the trick, I think. https://github.com/brndnmt

Doxylamine succinate is a fairly powerful antihistamine. I only take it when I'm sick, and I take a half -dose. It has closer to a 12-hour half life, which is why you felt so groggy. I have to basically take it at 7pm if I want to be o

For sure! I'll be doing a Show HN at some point, just want to feel a bit more confident about certain aspects first.

Spawning subagents via orchestrate and using /advisor are both super valuable. Haven't really unlocked the full capability of omp yet, but hoping to over time.

Their business model depends on you not looking too closely here. Apple has a lot of legitimate advantages, but they oversell the safety of the App Store quite a bit, and they also have an infamous review process for apps that deliberately

This kind of thing reminds me of why I've always felt there shouldn't be a gatekeeper. Add your repos, install your apps. Folks should be allowed to have more than one repo to install apps from.

Seconded. I love OpenCode and Pi, but omp is my daily driver.

I've posted a few times about my project that's a collection of 30k-250k webapps that are served from a WebDAV server. The apps know how to write updated copies of themselves back to the server. My family uses it. I have gallery a

"It was written with AI!" is boring (and often wrong). It shows up on almost every post, and doesn't require any skill or insight. That's why GP said "Can you please not?" It's just not interesting.

This is why I'm tired of the "this is AI slop" commentary. I'm well past trying to determine whether a human wrote something, and have fallen back to my old ways of critical reading to search for value in the thing I&

Pangram is a complete scam. There is no durable way to detect whether something was written with AI. I've had folks say they ran pangram on my writing and it was "100% AI". Except I don't use AI to write or edit anything

The problem with this is that agents are neither going to be as reliable or as cheap to run as the software they produce that does it deterministically. I see what the author is getting at, that agents are getting more reliable, but I still

It's weirdly kinda true...at least in games, my kids and I noticed that there were a bonkers number of great games in 2016 in particular, but also kind of around that period (2018 had some greats as well). Sure, there are some standou

Upvoted not for your particular phrasing, but because in a sense, this was my experience as well: I wanted to work at Google, and I thought Google was learning how to marry a great business with treating customers well. Killing GReader was

Well, you're at Amazon. Is the Dev Improvement discussion group still around? I feel like that was a pretty good place to learn about neat stuff (in my case, Emacs-related). I enjoyed the discussion.

That's fair. I still think there big similarities (people with money seeing it as the future and investing heavily, even if in reckless ways), but I agree there's a forcefulness to it this time that wasn't present before, f

Exactly. The users of e.g. autohotkey are in a vanishing minority. It's the kind of stuff I'd like to see advertised more in the OS, as though a product manager had on OKR to move that metric. Apps like Apple Music that emphasiz

I agree. It won't empower them because they've been trained to think they have no power. I wasn't really talking about fetching email.

Yeah, I've been writing software that provides feeds for RSS, but I exclusively use Atom. It's just a better format. It does create ambiguity when using a site like this because I'm not sure if my sites will qualify as having
