Re:DeepSeek: DeepSeek v4.1 Flash 1017 on Saturday October 17, 2026 @07:42AM (#50130188)
Why not use max thinking for implementation? For cost reasons?
Re:OpenCode 2.0 on Wednesday October 14, 2026 @06:52PM (#50096662)
Ahh. I recall their opencode go plan offered $60-$80 worth of Deepseek for $5-10 or something? I was debating if I should try it out but I think this is convincing me not to...Thanks for the heads up

The tech of the rust language is real though and is providing real world value
Eh, it's the phrasing that's off-putting. Things that can be self hosted usually emphasize that first and top most, with a paid option being mentioned 2nd.
Re:Deno Is Joining Cloudflare on Friday October 09, 2026 @08:25PM (#50028225)
So you prefer scripting in deno/JavaScript over python?
Re:Friendship ended with Deno, now Node is my best friend on Tuesday October 06, 2026 @05:23PM (#49984353)
I don't think it loses the spotlight more so that it's just node is just good enough and the cost to switch and learn something new as too high

What makes you rank Hermes higher than openclaw?

Insane!
Re:Alibaba releases Qwen 3.8 Omni Flash on Friday September 18, 2026 @02:29AM (#49750796)
Nah, they wouldn't have released deepseek open source if they were the case
Re:Xiami Mimo 2.6 Live Training Dashboard on Wednesday September 16, 2026 @08:06PM (#49734761)
They'd be running in the red then cause they charge way less than Claude. Sorry but it just doesn't make logical sense. They have open source, papers, and self hosting too
Re:Rhombus 1.1 is now available on Sunday August 16, 2026 @09:49PM (#49325737)
Honestly a unique searchable name is better. I type in racket and results are mixed with tennis and I need to suffix "Language"
Re:Racket v9.3 on Saturday August 15, 2026 @09:46AM (#49310516)
What? I know what you're taking about but it's literally only 1 dude(Matthias vs Butterick) who has chilled down for the most part Everyone else is fine. Do you have the source for others being toxic?
I think this is one of the few cases where there isn't a grift. It's open source, open research, there's not much to hide? Honestly official statements are pretty tame, it's the people who spin them for media headline clicks that are warping reality
Where does it say it will train on private? This seems like a security nightmare if it trains on hardcoded keys
Re:Debian adds LoongArch as officially supported architecture on Tuesday December 23, 2025 @03:29PM (#46369141)
Interesting, I thought performance was lower than zen 1. I wonder if they'll ever catch up
Re:Jimmy Lai Is a Martyr for Freedom on Tuesday December 23, 2025 @12:24PM (#46367130)
I used to have your viewpoint, but after reading Lee Kuan Yew, and after several hours of cross referencing various interviews with the pro-rioters/hk democracy, and pro-engagement/neutral hongkongers, I conclude that most of the pro-rioters like Joshua Wong/Jimmy Lai at large fail to articulate anything of value other than "I want to turn the system upside-down" , while pro-engagement/neutral people know they want upward social mobility and more government involvement in fixing the housing and employment crisis.

Sidenote: The riots went too out of control and one of em threw a brick which hit an old street cleaners head.

DJI is a global drone company and they're popular in Japan as well for agricultural drones . I recall the head of the American branch Colin Guuin, wanted more share and control of the company and they booted him out and he started his own drone company which is not doing so well
Re:Jimmy Lai Is a Martyr for Freedom on Tuesday December 23, 2025 @02:37AM (#46363253)
I mean, we went after Assange and Snowden who are in a gray area. Jimmy Lai actually went to top US officials and advocated military assistance to coup the government. No nation would ever go easy on that and it's scary to see all these comments on HN are mindlessly chanting without actually more research

What was the name of the class?
Re:Netherlands returns control of Nexperia to Chinese owner on Wednesday November 19, 2025 @02:50PM (#45984216)
Don't Chinese FULLY own nexperia though? And I don't think bots would have their name highlighted in green and write on a fringe website compared to reddit or youtube
Not unique to China. Japan also withheld critical semiconductor materials from Korea due to Korea not backing down on historical disputes in 2019 https://www.cnbc.com/2019/07/23/japan-south-korea-dispute-im...
I don't think unity was as polished when braid came out in ~2008 that can also easily rewind time on low end Xbox hardware. The witness maybe in unreal? But there are some wild things there I've never seen an unreal game do that the witness does do
They actually reuse Linux driver stack for hardware compatibility
I recall brunp from CATL/Robin Zeng in China said this: > recovery rate of over 90% for lithium and 99% for nickel, cobalt and manganese.

So its nice the US has a competitor here

Re:FFmpeg moves to Forgejo on Sunday August 17, 2025 @01:11AM (#44929045)
Thousands is quite the exaggeration when there are only 379 on ffmpeg github. If you look through them, its actually 5-10% if not less
Does this happen on linux? Polybar with i3 has an option to show seconds by clicking the date and time
Re:Bypassing Google's big anti-adblock update on Sunday July 13, 2025 @11:51AM (#44551281)
I thought it was just a DNS filter. I have it running on my pi
I don't think anyone cares about that. OpenAI ripped off of the internet and books. Deepseek distilled some of openAI and pushed the field forward
