What's interesting to me about this is that it targets Claude's specific tics. Anthropic has created model that reliably reaches for the same tools (yes, and phrases; `python -c` is a load-bearing tool for it). Everyone gets the s

I'm a big fan of iroh, but I think iroh's holepunching algorithm is at least partly based on tailscale's, so it's not 100% accurate to say iroh got there first. (Just the "as a library without a control plane"

Came here to post the same thing. DataFusion is fantastic.

I use my Anthropic subscription with Pi. I thought they would start charging me API usage at some point, but it never happened. (If it did happen, I would switch to open weights models.)

It's conventional for semver to allow breaking changes for 0.x minor releases (but not for patch releases).

I find it works a lot better at smaller sizes.

I use my Anthropic sub with Pi. They keep saying they're going to disallow that and then walking back the decision. Or at least I think that's what's happening.

My absolute favorite modality is one I don't use all that much at the moment: Zed's edit completion. If you're unfamiliar, it's like tab-completion, but it has a context that includes the edits you've made in the la

I really like Orion, but I had to switch (currently trying Zen) because the 1password extension was so so broken. I know it's probably not their fault, but it really got in the way every day.

It's primarily an open source library, not a product. I don't understand why HN seems so concerned about nailing down its "value proposition".

We use Iroh in production at work, and I'm absolutely in love with it. I'd describe it primarily as "Tailscale-style hole punching as a rust crate", but of course you can sprinkle a lot of cool p2p stuff on top of the ba

Not affiliated, but I am a very happy user of Tailscale and a very happy user of Iroh; we use the latter in production at work. Tailscale is a great service that happens to be open source, but Iroh is clearly structured as a library that

I would very much like to read the German, if anyone has it.

This is trivially circumventable by changing the system prompt (they string match against a blacklist).

I can't tell what's worse: intentionally obscuring the fact that the vast majority of people would pay ~no wealth tax or unintentionally forgetting that the vast majority of people would pay ~no wealth tax.

Wow - I love programming in YAML! You know what would make this really fun? Sprinkle in some Jinja. Then we'll be cooking with gas.

I don't think Earendil and OpenAI seem very similar. The former is a tiny startup of friends working on exclusively open source stuff.

Pi is a coding agent harness, like Claude Code, but significantly better and more elegant. Here is a good post describing it: https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/1/31/pi/ I switched a few months ago and have n

There are obviously certain harms we are comfortable (trying to) prevent 13yos from having access to. So it's a matter of degree. The internet you describe has been gone for a long time. The internet that replaced it is several degrees

I'm surprised by the complete lack of dissent or even nuance in the discussion here. I'm much more ambivalent on this: the historical record for prohibition is not good, but instagram and the like are uniquely and disastrously har

I opened this link intending to post exactly this. 1Password is just extremely broken on Orion. It's a testament to how much I like the browser that I'm still using it despite that (and despite the fact that Github was completely
