If you are Steven King, sure. From what I heard it's a bloodbath at the bottom.

Frankly, I only skimmed it. Now I see that "On Copilot+ PCs, image generation is local but prompt moderation remains remote". I don't have a Copilot PC, but if you still need to pay MS to run the model on your own hardware it

I don't think they use a model that would run smoothly on most hardware that normal people use. Besides, you need to sign-in and pay to use that feature. It's very obvious that's not local.

My opinion about Trump is as bad as the next guy's, but we still have better relation with the USA than with China. And it's not like we have much choice.

I'm only aware of some software backdoors in Chinese devices, but times when you could've reverse engineered a chip with microscope are long gone. If there are any it would be really difficult to find them.

MediaTek is a Taiwanese company. Xiaomi could put any backdoor that the government tell them to install and TSMC won't be able to catch that.

I always thought it's the web search tool. Grok actually shows a number of sources used for an answer. Once I asked it something simple and it apparently scanned 200 different websites. And it was just a short prompt. Now imagine milli

Agents could work for a long time and burn a lot of tokens if you give them a task that is too hard for them. After enough time, if they don't give up, the slot machine could spit out a working solution. Personally I find it faster to

Windows is pretty common and well supported in Javaland. Even though I prefer to work on Linux if I can...

That's a lot. On my usual day I burn less than $1 on Opus. I could get beyond $10 only if I have a complex and well-defined problem, which is rare (the second part at least).

Luckily very few people can configure and are interested in local models. But your nearby datacenter running Chinese open-weight models is also good enough.

Cline is pretty good if you use VSCode. It's one of a few AI agent plugins that works in the left sidebar.

I don't use the app (I guess it's about InPost). I usually just scan a QR code that I recieve to my inbox. Code from SMS also works just fine.

So far AI doesn't seem even close to replacing senior engieeners. Hell, it can't even replace junior engieeners entirely. I use AI agents every day at work and I'm happy with that, but it took over two years and billions of d

Somehow I doubt they use it to access another Next.js app created by some startup from SV.

I just found out about pi yesterday. It's the only agent that I was able to run on RISC-V. It's quite scary that it runs commands without asking though.

I have Pro Edition and for me Copilot only added two icons. One in Notepad and another one in Paint. I ignore both. There's also the Copilot app that I didn't even know I have installed. I don't know what happens with Home Ed

This. A lot of people on HN acts as you can only write code manually (almost, generators and snippets are allowed, because we are used to them) or vibe coding the whole project through a WhatsApp conversation. As if there was nothing in bet

That's weird. Back when Java 7 was a new thing, people used Spring (Boot wasn't there yet) even more to compensate for the lack of language features. Also back then most projects still used XML configuration, so you actually write

That's why coding agents usually scans various files to figure out how to work in a particular codebase. I work with very large and old project, and Codex most of time manages to work with our frameworks.

Pay as you go. I never spent more than $10/month working on my side project (usually a few evenings per month).
