There are cars with engines that will bring you to 250 mph without burning out, like the Bugatti Chiron. Unfortunately you will burn through your $40k set of tires after 15 minutes at that speed. But don’t fret, because your fuel tank will

Unfortunately, this seems somewhat unmaintained: five of the first nine "featured" cams have a dead/removed/copyrighted stream.

The plot doesn't appear to be in Amdahl territory yet. The single-threaded time in the plot looks to be around 39 seconds. A perfect division into 32 workers without overhead would make it 39 / 32 = 1.22 seconds. With the multi-th

This is well-written. I could follow along quite nicely, from the setup through the bottlenecks and onto the resolution of the performance bug. Even the PRs are very pleasant to read: the majority of them is just a handful of changed lines

What exactly do subagents do that I can't replicate with a simple skill that tells an orchestrator to create subshells for tasks, each running `codex exec`? I've been doing this with Fable orchestrating Sol-medium and Terra-high,

Ok, fair points, including the sister comment, it's likely not a drop in O2 levels. But then why can we see problems with concentration in studies of people in poorly ventilated rooms, but not replicate that when just adding CO2 to nor

I don't think you can cleanly compare this: In the study, they added CO2 to the room, while keeping O2 at normoxic levels throughout the experiment. In your meeting room, O2 levels will be dropping in lock-step with the CO2-levels risi

The original title of the document is “The future of software engineering”, which is so generic that I chose to ignore the HN rule to not editorialise, in this case, and picked one of the core insights for the title. It takes some time to s

I don’t think learning and understanding is hard-coupled to performing all low level steps yourself. The LLM can be a developer, sure. But it can also take on the role of rubber duck, architect, teacher or pupil. Have a large LLM-written c

At the current rate of progress I'm wondering how long it will take for llm agents to be able to rewrite/translate complete projects into another language. SQLite may not be the best candidate, due to the hidden test suite. But CP

That is factually incorrect. The primary source is wind at 132 TWh in 2025, followed by solar with 70 TWh. Lignite was third with 67 TWh and hard coal sits at 27 TWh. https://www.energy-charts.info/downloads/electricity

Great technical demo, but the usability feels unpolished. So here's a little bit of feedback of trying this out on a piano: Just because my piano has 88 keys doesn't mean they are all useful for ear training. The very low and very

Just use the non-codex models for investigation and planning, they listen to "do not edit any files yet, just reply here in chat". And they're better at getting the bigger picture. Then you can use the -codex variant for exec

I wanted to try GLM 4.6 through their API with Cline, before spending the $50. But I'm getting hit with API limits. And now I'm noticing a red banner "GLM4.6 Temporarily Sold Out. Check back soon." at cloud.cerebras.ai.
