To show you how strong Stockfish 19 is compared to 18, I used to lose 100% against 18, and I now lose 100% against 19, probably faster. Time to fire up En Croissant and see :)

I have a crowdsourcing app [0] that powers maps like this [1] in South Africa. Where I'm able to directly or indirectly get bus feeds for agencies, I'm able to augment them and provide a hybrid of live vs scheduled services. It&#x

IDK, that sounds like a solution in search of a problem. What would be different about this than what OpenRouter is currently doing with pricing?

With voice dictation (wispr flow), I find it easier for me to talk naturally as if I'm talking to a friend. I'll sometimes give lengthy notes on context for a project, like why I want to do it, e.g. something for my wife to use. S

And with the Linux Kernel being friendly to both LLM usage and a modern language, for some of us who don't know C, a huge barrier is lifted from being able to write device drivers. Not a successful anecdote, but I have a Windows Hello

I agree with you. When I say they don't want to talk politics, it's more to say that Americans, which I presume makes the most of HN's readership; are embarassed by their political decisions, and would rather censor discussio

Could you make an HN moment out of the climate, belly fat discussions? You could have at least read the article instead of asking about things not mentioned.

Well, people don't want to talk politics, but will gladly engage in climate conversations and other random things that are affected by politics, because the one thing where people are chosen to lead on popularity than merit is not inte

I have lengthy conversations with my LLM, almost like an interview. I agree on the expertise part, because I wouldn't be able to go in depth on a subject with it if I lacked the expertise. Some work is a result of design and negotiati

1. Our backlog of bugs gets processed quicker because instead of staring at the code for 10 minutes fiuring out what's happening, there's a tool that can reason about it quicker. 2. Code reviews and security reviews happen quicker

I've added the prompt to use the ASD English, on my CLAUDE.md when I learnt of the standard. The generated output is more tolerable to read, and is less confusing. I like it, and I'll also try the Economist one on another thread h

I cancelled my Claude personal sub and still use it at work. I tried Codex out cos 5.6 Sol, and when I gave it a security task; instead of downgrading me, it flat out refused to continue. That left me curious that there might be a security

I maintain a transit website as a hobby, and I'm building a Flutter app, from scratch. The old pre-COVID one carried mental baggage. I spent a few weekends building comprehensive plans, designs, user maps, etc with Claude. So it has en

I maximised usage and have reached the limit. I feel like I did 2 week's worth of hobby work over the last few days. I got Fable to write multiple plans, spent a great part of the weekend reviewing them. Then with superpowers I left mu

I found it slowed me down significantly at first, and produced more verbose code. After a few weeks of using it, I think I've gotten used to it (sometimes I explicitly bypass it, but it's good enough to know which skill to use). Y

They should give us a month of access again, I feel like I didn't do enough with Fable before it got blocked. I only realised late that I had an algorithm problem that existing models were struggling with, and Fable had made progress w

I presumed that as a kernel developer, he would run the kernel he runs, which would require rebuilding periodically. Daily doesn't make sense, monthly is too infrequent given the rate of change in the kernel. My speculation though. Whe

Does Docker have uarch level support? I think similar to arch level, it could be beneficial being able to pull a v4 image. Ubuntu started allowing defaulting to v3 packages, and I opted in. I already use the -C native to enable AVX512 when

They should just license the tech from Google. Google might be missing the urinal with forcing Gemini down everything while not improving basics, but their keyword detection remains good for me.

Most of the code is already in libraries. rs-matter includes a lot of batteries, so for simple clusters you end up writing little code.

Is it their first EV? I presume the tech is outsourced or bought from competitive players that have put in the R&D. It feels like buyers will be buying the brand. The Mercedes GT EV is faster than it, so the performance doesn't sta

What's missing is changing the stallion to a kiddified pony, to match the rest of the design. This looks like a child's toy.

The keynote was the most boring for me. I paused it to go to the bathroom, and even forgot that I was watching it. I think they've lost track of the meaning of IO and its keynotes for users. They should rather have a separate Gemini ev

It can be the difference between between feeling like you're suffocating, not getting enough oxygen to rest enough/sleep well. I notice a difference if I move between a ventilated room vs congested one. I suppose it depends on wha

It seems fine if you express what you did without focusing on the code. It resonates well with what some people have been saying about building software for 1 person.

Perhaps not a good example, I tried running local models a few times, to much disappointment (actually made me skeptical of LLMs in general for a while). My last experiment in January was trying to run a Qwen model locally (RTX 4080; 128GB

Reminds me of our President (SA) asking his colleagues to sign a pledge not to do corruption; when there's already a swearing in that does the same thing.
