I have a T460s and just yesterday I installed bazzite on it. It's incredible how fast the little boy still is! Sunshine and Moonlight (in house game streaming) is running fine and has almost zero latency!

Re:In Context – Rich Hickey (Clojure/Conj 2026) [video] on Tuesday October 27, 2026 @03:16AM (#50255613)
This title could mean so much... It's a Clojure Talk.

> Building flexible systems means embracing the ever-changing shape of information as it flows throughout. How can we document and enforce our expectations without making things brittle? This talk examines some new features coming to Clojure that aim to address this challenge.

Re:Why I Am a Programmer on Monday October 26, 2026 @06:08AM (#50241488)
25 years ago I figured out that building tools is what I love creating. And looking back, that's wat I really did well, for computers and for humans. About 20 years back I wished I could just express my way to build things and today it's possible! AI is just another tool to create toolings! Nice life!
Re:Facebook now charging to post more than 2 links a month on Tuesday October 20, 2026 @02:35PM (#50170672)
As well as LinkedIn. "Put your link in the first comment and pin it" was the workaround...
At least we now know that a life is worth: 20mil

That looks really amazing, happy to test it!
A talk with a lawyer would be advised. But this is money you may not want to invest. You could just go on, keep your product improving and proof this way that your solution is more worth than the copycats out there. You just realized how it is to be a valuable target.
Please, where are the others?
And that was the inspiration for the attack in The Expanse, or was it the other way around?
The steering is 1:1 the same as from https://store.steampowered.com/app/366910/The_Long_Journey_H... . did you knew it before?
Oh and one last one: is the client headless possible or is a GUI necessary.
Glad you ask and I respect that.

Here are the things I would love to see: - supported tooling (e.g. built in browser) - interaction type ( chat ui, terminal, booth) - context size added (how large is the additional context so that the agent knows the ADE) - extensibility (plugins possible) - completely free, paid possible - range of harness support (some only support claude and codex) - installation type (own server + n clients, only clients and properitary server) - connectivity support of multiple machines (tailscale, SSH, wireguard, proprietary) - age of project, commit count, PR count - multiselect of possible platforms (e.g. windows + android)

I guess that's all that is broadly comparable without going into too much detail.

Thanks for your interest!

well done! but "compare" is a bit of a stretch... maybe you can get an inspiration from models.dev ?

LinkedIn is like "playing" soggy biscuit together, yet you are the biscuit.

And please don't forget the fools play to have this light "pinkish" theme you can only change when buying it. I couldn't stand the light theme and so I left unity for good.

As sexy as apple can be: the blog post just shows how unsexy security is for apple.
"Easy to use" and "privacy" are two terms that rarely go hand in hand, if you are serious about it. Otherwise the free Firefox VPN will do it as well.
What's wrong with coolify? Their ecosystem help start a service with pretty much zero issues. And they also show that maintaining a large amount of click-n-deploy services can't keep up with the releases of all of them. They hit the sweet spot of having everything in a second and maintaining it with ease over time.

The model is just the executing part. You can always give them tools via the harness to do various things.
Re:Show HN: FeatureFlags.app – Feature Management for .NET on Saturday August 29, 2026 @09:01AM (#49489558)
There are tons of solutions to this problem, including from Microsoft/dotnet itself. Why should I ever pay 10$ per month for the service?
Oh my... The clown played an important role in my command & conquer childhood!

Thanks for the reminder!

Re:How much of HN is AI? on Wednesday August 26, 2026 @02:09AM (#49444685)
Thank you so much for this! Generally I like to read AI news, yet it's important to know what else is out there! I hope that ycombinator is implementing this filter by themselves, one day.
Re:Why Aren't Smart People Happier? on Friday August 21, 2026 @04:16AM (#49385274)
Bering "dumb" for a day just to know if I could be happier... I feel you.

My way to her happier was too stop following global news, even regional news. People around me well tell me the important things anyway. Don't use the so called "social media"!

With so much free energy and attention, I now care about the areas that I can positively influence: me, close family, neighbors, friends, work, remote family.

That is much more rewarding and makes me happy!
