News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

The models simply are not capable enough. (Yet). https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49601338
Could you say more about how caching works? One major advantage of sticking with a single model is saving money on cached input tokens. I'd imagine if you swap between a bunch of models, you may improve performance but cost would would balloon out of control
Author here. Took out some of the technical details about the harness, but it was mostly just OpenCode's default compaction.

The harness was extremely simple: A handful of MCPs + Skill.MDs and OpenCode with a stayalive daemon inserting "continue" every time it went idle

Show HN: Hyperbox- $40/month Mac mini rentals

https://hyperbox.sh

Hey HN,Following the OpenClaw craze, I saw a huge need for hosting personal Claws/Hermes agents on macOS [0]. So I built an agent to scrape eBay for below-market M-series Macs and built a Mac mini datacenter [1].But as it turns out, Claws aren't popular anymore. However, running agents like Claude Code and Codex on a remote Mac mini is a really awesome experience (especially for iOS devs). So...

I gave my Clawdbot Exa + Firecrawl + Playwriter to scan Zillow/Redfin/Craigslist for apartments, rate their quality, and validate their availability for rent. I scheduled it to send me rental listings every day.

Your goal should be to run agents all the time, all in parallel. If you’re not hitting limits, you’re massively underutilizing the VC intelligence subsidy

I've found criticism like this comes from people who feel as if LLMs pose a threat to their intelligence.

What's the main synergy between Cursor and Graphite that led you to join? Stacked PRs? AI code review? Something else?

I've found this list of "undocumented rules" to be useful https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented
My biggest frustration is the lack of a good universal REPL to just play around with. It's frustrating how I have to run `uvx --with x,y,z ipython` every single time I just want to spin up some python code which may or may not use packages. (Hard to overstate how annoying it is to type out the modules list).

To me, Python's best feature is the ability to quickly experiment without a second thought. Conda is nice since it keeps everything installed globally so I can just run `python` or iPython/Jupyter anywhere and know I won't have to reinstall everything every single time.
