Re:Kimi K3.1 Pro and K3.1 Pro Highspeed on Friday October 23, 2026 @07:28PM (#50216772)
Personally I do trust them, but I mainly look at the Intelligence Index vs. Time per Task, and Intelligence Index vs. Cost per Task

The per token charts do not provide meaningful information for me

I also find the provider benchmarks fascinating: https://artificialanalysis.ai/models/deepseek-v4-1-flash-101...

This is repeated a lot however the benchmarks show sol 6.1 does well on time per task: https://artificialanalysis.ai/models/releases/gpt-6-1-sol?in...

Re:DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 (Max) on Monday October 19, 2026 @03:59PM (#50157284)
Other than openrouter & open code, are there any interesting providers for DeepSeek?

Just looking to get maximum usage for my open source projects where I'm not worried about my data being used for training.

Not my project, but I found it an interesting use of servo.
Re:CSS for Printing to Paper (2025) on Saturday September 05, 2026 @07:16PM (#49581668)
When I wanted to try and design a printable static site, I stumbled over the fact that it's not possible to do automatic page numbers (including total page count) with CSS. Settled on using https://pagedjs.org/

Re:Pico.sh (The ultimate SSH powered services for developers) on Wednesday April 02, 2025 @07:14PM (#43562890)
At risk of scope creep, the greatest selling point Netlify has for me is automatic form email support for static sites. Would be awesome if pico.sh supported that.

>BYD has deployed three different versions of the “God’s Eye” ADAS across its line-up. All three offer automated parking and lane-keeping features, with the basic version – available on models costing up to 219,800 yuan ($30,078.69) – enabling autonomous driving on highways. The driver must keep their hands on the wheel and take control when necessary.

>Two higher-end versions will be installed on more expensive BYD-branded cars and its premium Denza and Yangwang brands. These will enable a car to drive autonomously — though also under human supervision — in more complex urban traffic.

The base version is self driving as in lane assist. It will not change lanes for you or 'self drive' to your destination.

I agree with BYD that these are great safety features and give them props for not gating safety behind a paywall.

fyi GitHub bill in minutes, and rounds up. So if you use 1 minute and 1 second, you get billed for 2 minutes. This is applied at job level, so it quickly gets out of control if you use matrix builds.

Is the price cheaper than x64 instances?

For 'large' instances, ARM64 is cheaper: https://docs.github.com/en/billing/managing-billing-for-your...

So what about regular instances?

Re:I will never need to buy a new computer again on Sunday January 12, 2025 @06:44PM (#42678289)
I only buy second hand laptops for myself, but I think the power/efficiency gains of modern cpu's should not be overlooked. The average person doesn't need a strong cpu, but the laptop should not burn their lap or run out of battery while they browse facebook.
C# Version:

    private static uint FastDigitCount(ulong value)
    {
        ReadOnlySpan<byte> digitCounts = [19, 19, 19, 19, 18, 18, 18, 17, 17, 17, 16, 16, 16, 16, 15, 15, 15, 14, 14, 14, 13, 13, 13, 13, 12, 12, 12, 11, 11, 11, 10, 10, 10, 10, 9, 9, 9, 8, 8, 8, 7, 7, 7, 7, 6, 6, 6, 5, 5, 5, 4, 4, 4, 4, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1];
        ReadOnlySpan<ulong> digitCountThresholds = [0, 9, 99, 999, 9999, 99999, 999999, 9999999, 99999999, 999999999, 9999999999, 99999999999, 999999999999, 9999999999999, 99999999999999, 999999999999999, 9999999999999999, 99999999999999999, 999999999999999999, 9999999999999999999];
    
        var leadingZeros = BitOperations.LeadingZeroCount(value);
        var originalDigitCount = digitCounts[leadingZeros];
        return originalDigitCount + (value > digitCountThresholds[originalDigitCount] ? 1u : 0u);

Re:Why Gelsinger was wrong for Intel on Sunday December 08, 2024 @09:48PM (#42362658)
I find it interesting that the X2 chip they are using as Tofino's successor, made by Xsight. One of the investors of Xsight is Intel Capital. So seems Intel had a hedge against themselves.

The C# version will copy the list into an array during Task.WhenAll, it may save some memory to use an array directly.

fyi on this page, when the 'subscribe to newletter' popup appears, it force scrolls the page back up to the top. Seems only only occur in Firefox, Chrome is fine.

Re:BYD Rolls Off Its 7Mth New Energy Vehicle on Sunday March 31, 2024 @07:18AM (#39883216)
I struggle to see how the car market has ever been fair, subsidies, protectionism, import fees. Cars are not exactly the golden child of the free market. At the end of the day, car prices remain high, and consumers are desperate for cheaper options.
I was an expat child that moved many times in my childhood. The broken connections of each move hurt me more than any 'new experience'. I wouldn't recommend it, imo social stability is very important.

Same, but even missing the deadline was realistic.

Manager: This is urgent, fix it today. Dev: Rush rush, miss deadline.

Manager: Ok no problem, let's move the deadline by a week just in case.

Re:Ask HN: Can we do better than Git for version control? on Sunday December 10, 2023 @05:00AM (#38590509)
I recently started a new job that uses SVN, one thing that really catches me out is that it doesn't automatically add new files. Is there some easy trick I am missing to tell SVN to automatically track everything recursively under a folder?
