Re:T-Mobile to Charge $5 a Month for iOS 27 iPhone Handoff on Thursday September 10, 2026 @10:56PM (#49653027)
Yes, they would be, because you are still logged into your Apple account. You wouldn't use iPhone Handoff for border crossing unless you wanted to leave one phone at home and transfer your number to the iPhone you are taking with you when you leave the country. Still, the phones would have identical data on them unless you turned off syncing for certain apps, such as iMessage (messages).
Re:T-Mobile to Charge $5 a Month for iOS 27 iPhone Handoff on Thursday September 10, 2026 @10:46PM (#49652964)
So you can use more than one iPhone as your primary phone. For example, if you have the new iPhone Duo but want to use your other 'standard' iPhone for the telephoto zoom camera capability, you could transfer your phone number from the Duo to that phone for the day if you're going to be out taking a lot of pictures. When you are done, transfer it back to the Duo, and the Duo will become your primary phone again.
Re:Opus 5.0 drives incoherence into the stratosphere on Wednesday August 19, 2026 @03:19PM (#49365983)
I've been using Opus 5 for coding a lot lately, and compared to Codex (which I never had trouble understanding), this issue is driving me up the wall.

So much so that every time Opus 5 finishes a plan and shows me the summary, I have to prompt it again to explain everything it did in an “ELI5” way so I can understand what the heck it is saying.

For example, Opus 5 told me in a summary that “Net legs ran small rosters, not the plan's full ones”. When I asked for the ELI5 of what that meant, it said the client dropped video frames during testing and got 30 FPS instead of the required minimum of 60 FPS.

Re:Show HN: Infinite Jigsaw Game on Sunday July 26, 2026 @10:38PM (#49064620)
Please talk about the development. How long did it take you? Language/framework? 100% agentic (if so, which LLMs did you use, and for what)?
Sadly, I don't think so. I remember Leo saying some not-so-nice things about John on the pre-show to TWIT a few months ago. I never understood how Leo couldn't forgive John for whatever he did, but Leo has had long-lasting feuds with a lot of people over the years. All that wasted time fighting between those two when we could have had them doing great shows together over the past few years and giving us great content. What a waste of time fighting.
Too bad him and Leo had a falling out years ago. I really loved watching those two together. I remember John was always borrowing Leo's equipment, such as camera lenses, and he would always forget to bring them back and Leo would always scold him for that.
Re:Ask HN: What are your favorite blogs not about AI? on Sunday July 19, 2026 @08:51PM (#48973197)
Not a blog, but a podcast, but I love "The AI Daily Brief," and I listen to it daily because it keeps me up to date on almost everything happening in the AI universe.

This is interesting and something I have not thought of before. Can you please go into more specifics?

Ask HN: What Are You Building with AI?

Are you building with AI for yourself, your employer, customers, or as a startup?What LLMs, coding agents, or development tools are you using? Are you primarily prompt coding, vibe coding, or using a more structured agentic workflow?Are you using one agent or coordinating multiple agents? How much of the generated code do you review or rewrite?Has AI allowed you to build something you could...

Very impressive, especially since you did it solo. The website looks great and explains everything in detail.

Can you elaborate more about its development? How much do 110B tokens equate to in $$$? What LLM did you prefer most during development? Any suggestions for other solo developers trying to launch their LLM-built product?

How are you accessing their API? Through OpenRouter, or direct? Are you using DeepSeek v4 Pro? $2 seems a lot cheaper than my own experience accessing them through OpenRouter for over 100 million tokens, but I am using OpenRouter to access v4 pro.
This is so cool. Awesome job! I grew up playing submarine games: Gato, Silent Service, The Hunt for Red October, Up Periscope!, and Aces of the Deep. I wishlisted it on Steam and will be purchasing it when it is released.

Can you talk about the development process? How long did it take you? Is any of it vibe-coded? As you already stated, the browser version is a Vite/TypeScript app, but what programming language is the actual game in?

Edit: Also, nice website!

Re:Screenshots of Old Desktop OSes on Tuesday May 12, 2026 @12:03PM (#48110184)
I would recommend WindowBlinds to achieve the "grey, boxy UI" look. As for a Windows 2000 theme out of the box, I am not sure, but I know it can make your Windows 10/11 UI look and behave like Windows XP.

There is a custom skin editor as well, so you can tailor the look of Windows to anything you choose, so you can probably get very close to the Windows 2000 look you are seeking.

Re:Movies Are Too Long on Saturday May 09, 2026 @06:27PM (#48078889)
The Sphere version of WoZ is intentionally shorter. It is 75 minutes, compared to the original's 101 minutes.

That game sounds interesting. What is it called? I only saw Beavers Be Damned when I searched Steam.

+1 for TickTick. It gets the job done and I love that I can set reminders for my tasks that I can snooze from my Apple Watch or computer desktops instead of having to rely on Apple Reminders.
Nice job! Will you be releasing an Android version?
