$1100/m for an outsourced engineer… am I missing something? That’s far too low. Even juniors in South America tend to ask for at least double that number before factoring in the DeepSeek cost.

Security updates still go out for older major releases back 2 versions. You didn’t need to jump to 26 if you weren’t on it.

That estimate doesn't account for context, which is very important for tool use and coding. I used this napkin math for image generation, since the context (prompts) were so small, but I think it's misleading at best for most uses

What part of the feature set in particular has been lacking in competitors? EDIT: asking because I've been working on an alternative of sorts. I used GV a lot before I figured I could go without it/Google.

Same, I keep using 4.6 to get "used to it" but I find myself wanting semi-regularly.

I noticed Claude Sonnet 4.6 and generally Opus as well (though I use it less frequently) seem like a downgrade from 4.5. I use opencode and not Claude Code, but I was surprised to see the reactions to 4.6 be mixed for folks rather than clea

Sounds like Apple under Steve Jobs.

As mentioned elsewhere, while this writeup is about exploiting the RCE, Claude was separately used to find and document this specific RCE.

They kinda added window positioning with Tahoe -- there are things I like more about it than Rectangle (resizing), but I found that it was janky enough I switched back to Rectangle. I rarely use the Dock, it's somewhat eye candy I leav

That is wild. Thanks for the info.

Definitely not Wayland related, or so I doubt. I'm on wayland and never had any issues, and it's a TUI, where the terminal emulator does or does not do GPU work. What led you to that conclusion?

I'm confused, how does Chrome work on ARM64 Android phones today?

He deletes posts after they are no longer relevant. Given how people dig dirt up on people and take them out of context long after that context is forgotten, more people should do that (or delete social media altogether).

Linus never cared about that use case of the GPL. He cared about the source code sharing.

Tangeltial, can we still run custom Darwin kernels? IIRC that was blocked under security pretenses.

The irony of this in the README: - Node.js production server (vinext start) works for testing but is less complete than Workers deployment. Cloudflare Workers is the primary target.

And now everyone else is aware of it too... including anyone marginally above a scriptkiddie.

Catalina and Mojave were the closest releases in terms of quality that we got to Snow Leopard. Catalina in particular since it was the release that removed more 32-bit cruft (like Snow Leopard before it).

I came to say something similar; on Android Firefox, scrolling on the page is stuttery.

New feature development in web and mobile apps is absolutely 10% more productive with these tools, and anyone who says otherwise is coping. That's a large fraction of software development.

This is by choice, no? In most cases I see stuff like this, it could've been a bash script. That said, the environments in different CI's are different so it won't be totally portable, but still applies.

This is the equivalent of saying that a cigarette reduces anxiety. The overall habit absolutely does not reduce anxiety.

Kimi K2.5 approaches Sonnet as well from what I can tell, it's just slower to get to the result.

opencode is a good alternative that doesnt flake out in this way.

Spotlight has really been bothering me lately, for months now, and it’s not even indexing all the time. I disabled all but applications and the calculator, because that’s all I use Spotlight for, and it still can’t find some apps that are i

If you’re showing off a UI framework, I shouldn’t be accidentally scrolling left and right on the page on mobile / my iPhone. Couldn’t be bothered to scroll down the page to look at components while accidentally activating horizontal s

There’s benchmarks in the README. Python is ~10x faster. It’s heavily optimized. Based on the numbers and my experience with Flux.1, I’m guessing the Python run is JIT’d (or Flux.2 is faster), although it’d likely only be ~half as fast if i

For a version of macOS that old, you’d probably want a dmg, which you can create with createinstallmedia if you have the Install macOS.app. Not sure if it’s supported with Lume as it’s the first time I’ve heard of it.
