I think I do quite the same as you, complex features, not anything basic.

Google's Argon model via antigravity is unusable, for a small code review I asked, already spent like 10% of the weekly usage, in less than 10 mins. Very useless imho.

I always find DS or Qwen to be very spot on on audit changes or plans for just a few cents.

I'm baffled, my $20 is enough for me to do some consulting, personal projects and side work, and still cannot outran my quotas, I'm building different kind of things: flutter apps, dotnet backend, database, front end, architecture diagrams, code exploration, tests, PowerShell scripts.

How people spend more than 200 usd monthly is beyond my understanding, are you guys so inefficient with the usage? or I am the opposite?

Re:Plan Mode Is Dead on Saturday September 26, 2026 @04:18AM (#49854357)
I think this is the clearest example of: exceptions don't make the rules.

Author might be a vibe coder, designer or someone who does not do really heavy and complicated development, maybe some api here and there.

But it is pretty obvious that a very concerned engineer would not allow any of that, for critical systems.

Re:Plan Mode Is Dead on Saturday September 26, 2026 @03:51AM (#49854226)
This is an out of touch with reality thing to say. Remember: not everyone has access to unlimited usage/money to spend tokens or the most expensive models with the higher thinking settings, exceptions does not make the rules.

Thanks Stephen for this, it is very rewarding to read something very technical that is not AI slop these days.

These tools are already written in rust.
Re:Angular v22 on Wednesday June 03, 2026 @05:52PM (#48390658)
explain your use case, I always wonder what kind of scenarios people do have, it is something easily solved? it is complicated? what is stopping you?
Re:Using Kagi Search with Low Vision on Thursday May 21, 2026 @06:37PM (#48229670)
the thing I really miss when I use magic, is recommended places from Google maps, where to watch certain movie/series, a lot of things like that, where you can infer recommendations based on your location. Kagi might be good to filter everything scored "bad", but makes you work more.
Re:Opus 4.7 to 4.6 Inflation is ~45% on Saturday April 18, 2026 @06:16PM (#47819985)
The thing I dislike about OpenCode is the lack of capabilities of their editor, also, resource intensive, for some reason on a VM it chuckles each 30 mins, that I need to discard all sessions, commits, etc.

I don't know if it is bun related, but in task manager, is the thing that is almost at the top always on CPU usage, turns out for me, bun is not production ready at all.

Wish Zed editor had something like BigPickle which is free to use without limits.

Re:OpenClaw privilege-escalation bug on Friday April 03, 2026 @05:02PM (#47632237)
Why would I do that? I am entirely good using LLMs like Claude building tools for me. There's no use case for OpenClawthat I am aware of can replace of what I have/need.

I think it makes my point strong, people who uses OpenClaw, might be lazy on how to do things properly with LLMs.

Re:OpenClaw privilege-escalation bug on Friday April 03, 2026 @03:27PM (#47631025)
Dodged the question entirely. Makes OP point very valid. OpenClaw is just nothing exciting to be about, it is a YOLO/FOMO experience for people so they can feel they are part of the "AI world".

Can we stop all these vibe-coded projects landing on the front page? It is annoying. Just feels like reddit.
Completely agree, HN is mostly anti .NET/C#. It rarely gains attraction, and when it does, people bashes it with unfounded or very outdated info from another era.
Re:ManusAI Joins Meta on Monday December 29, 2025 @06:38PM (#46427463)
I’m wondering why these companies are so hyped and valued at these astronomical levels. Honestly, nothing really impresses me enough to think, “Wow, this company actually deserves that kind of valuation”.

These valuations are to the point point that this looks too close to money laundering, just like buying art.

Re:AutoMapper and Mediatr Going Commercial on Wednesday April 02, 2025 @05:16PM (#43561723)
MassTransit has gone commercial too, not that I care but somehow ppl rely on these libraries.
Re:Bitcoin is over $100k on Wednesday December 04, 2024 @09:49PM (#42324305)
Not surprised. They're minting Tether USD out of thin air to inflate the price, so it's no shock.
Wonder if the study is freely available without paywall.
Can other countries conduct trials for these treatments at the patient's own risk?
Re:Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (October 2024) on Sunday October 27, 2024 @11:33PM (#41967619)
This is very interesting. I would paid for something like that, that could work for any popular video social media platform.
Most likely.
Another thing to improve this, is to ask posters to add GLOBAL_REMOTE, COUNTRY_REMOTE or something that indicates is not local remote only (within the same country).
so recently crypto is trying to make a fake pump so whales dump their remaining bags. Cannot believe how easily is to rip off people in this market.
Re:Localsend: Open-Source Airdrop Alternative on Thursday October 19, 2023 @04:30AM (#37940093)
Isn't WiFi Direct limited to 250mbps? looks like an archaic way to share files.
Re:Localsend: Open-Source Airdrop Alternative on Thursday October 19, 2023 @04:28AM (#37940074)
I tried and it is super slow. LocalSend was like 10x faster sending a 400mb video.
Re:Java 21 makes me like Java again on Sunday September 17, 2023 @04:03AM (#37542649)
Second this. But here in hacker news, C# is hated for no reason, just the old Microsoft mantra and NET Framework

Re:State of JavaScript 2021 on Monday February 21, 2022 @12:29AM (#30412270)
Angular is simpler for me than React. I don truly understand the hate. I can built applications fasters in angular than React. I still use React sometimes, but I always go back to Angular.
Google will block your API/site right away
