Show HN: I used an expiring Codex reset to port QtScript to Qt6

https://github.com/JulienMaille/qtscript-qt6

Hey HN, here is a short story that might be worth sharing.I have an application that has been scriptable with QtScript for years. I can automate and extend it through js, with access to QObjects, signals, slots, properties, etc.Unfortunately, QtScript disappeared with Qt6, so (after a long research) my plan was to migrate to PythonQt. That meant rewriting existing scripts, deploying a Python...

Concrete cost data from today: rebuilding SQLite in Rust via planner/worker split cut agent spend 22x
tldr:

GPT-5.5 Codex model exhibits a clustering phenomenon in which reasoning_output_tokens cluster at fixed values spaced 518 apart.

These stuck responses at fixed thresholds are strongly correlated with errors in complex tasks.

Observed phenomenon is specific to GPT-5.5; it is much less prevalent in GPT-5.4 and almost absent in GPT-5.2 and 5.3

Does it work on windows? And how do you then remote in?
Bad at coding, but would it be good at code review?
If you are still ready comments, have you heard of this? https://docs.kiln.tech/docs/documents-and-search-rag
How can I learn that clever prompting?
Are you using it? I will definitely give it a shot, any pointers to online resources will be appreciated
Let's say I want a free, local or free-tier-llm, simple solution to search information mostly from my emails and a little bit from text, doc and pdf files. Are there any tool I should try to have ollamma or gemini able to reply with my own knowledge base?
So do you have a tool to suggest?

Ask HN: Read‑only LLM tool for email triage and knowledge extraction?

I’m looking for an LLM‑powered tool to help organize and query my email, but with a strict boundary: it must not write, send, or modify anything.Standard filters miss the nuance of "middle-ground" emails, and existing AI email clients demand full inbox control or try to automate too much.What I’m looking for:- Strictly read‑only triage: Categorizes incoming mail (e.g., “important”, “maybe...

What was the source of inspiration for Claude? I skimmed through the text and it does not look too bad, but devil is in the details and I need more time to go throught the fine prints. One remarks is that Young slit experiment could show what happens with a single slit vs 2
Would make one piece on optical interferometry? Inalways struggle explaining this with simple terms when asked to.

Can you really use Cursor for CPP ? Would you mind describing your setup? How better is it than copilot or windsurf?
I have a Windows PC with a GTX 5070 (12GB) any chance to run it?
Are there any similar solutions for MSVC? Almost all these tools are focused on VSCode.

Do you have a plugin for MSVC?

Can you write, compile and debug c++ with that?
