Re:The AI cost of JavaScript frameworks on Sunday November 01, 2026 @03:59AM (#50323777)
Java script frameworks are just extra boiler plate that isn't needed in the age of ai-coding.

Server side page generation with a sprinkle of js will give you the same results with GBS less of packages and comple time

Re:Open Weights and American AI Leadership [pdf] on Friday July 24, 2026 @03:16PM (#49040415)
Makes sense Microsoft is placing it self as a model host and os providing open weight models for much cheaper on their infra already.

No wonder openai and anthropic are terrified

Re:Steam Machine: Between 12k and 15k Units Sold per week on Saturday July 18, 2026 @08:18AM (#48957456)
One interesting point I've seen online is that the steam machine is more of a budget Mac than a pc. As valve controls the whole stack including the OS which creates a very streamlined experience that just works.

Maybe its what will make Linux more mainstream!

Re:How I use HTMX with Go on Wednesday July 15, 2026 @03:25AM (#48917394)
Another great combination is htmx and asp.net razor pages. You can build and reuse components with partials and keeps things super simple and clean.

Re:Vite+ Beta on Thursday July 02, 2026 @10:29AM (#48762190)
I'm currently experimenting with a stack combining assistance, ASP.NET Razor Pages, and htmx, specifically to avoid dealing with the complexities of the modern frontend stack.

AI eliminates a lot of the tedium, grinding tasks, while HTML partials and htmx complement each other perfectly.

Not having to manage frontend framework, SSR states is incredibly liberating. Sprinkle in some vanillla js and redraw specific parts of the page as needed... done

Re:Kimi K2.7 Code is generally available in GitHub Copilot on Thursday July 02, 2026 @02:23AM (#48757300)
Yes significantly cheaper to run compared to the other models, tried it for an hour yesterday and the results look promising.

Saw in a discussion on Reddit that the team is evaluating glm5.2 so hopefully more to come!

They're all very good an spending all your tokens. They are useful but way too expensive to run
Re:Sagrada Família Lego set on Thursday June 04, 2026 @02:15PM (#48402445)
There was a period that was very true when Ninjago were a thing. But in the last decade while they sometimes still come out with new pieces there is still a tonne of reusability and creativity in Lego pieces.

All these tools have almost feature parity. The GitHub cli allows remote sessions and can run anthropic models anyway

Re:Ask HN: How can I get better at using AI for programming? on Saturday December 13, 2025 @02:17PM (#46257084)
Funny usually a lot of my code is software plumbing, and gardening.

In terms of ai assisted programming. I microanage my ai. Give it specific instructions with single steps. Don't really let it build ehoe files by itself as it usually makes a mess of things, bit it's useful when doing predictable changes and marginally faster than doing it manually.

Model is available on copilot.
Having gone through a round of interviews, I completely agree that live coding doesn’t measure anything of substance.

There was one company whose process I really appreciated:

- A take-home test, more of a puzzle-style challenge. - The interviewer does a quick review of your submission. - If they like what they see, you're invited to a follow-up session where you explain your code and make a few simple changes to it.

This approach proves that the work is genuinely yours, shows your thought process, and still gives the opportunity to demonstrate live coding on code you're already familiar with.

If they have 3 cloud providers and say 5 regions that's potentially 15 clusters. My assumption is that they're running in even more regions..
I think I saw a video from their CEO showcasing some of the things in their pipeline, they are upgrading the webcams significantly. Best thing about a framework is you can just get the webcam and upgrade it.

These devices should be apps on your phone. Google and Apple will won't open their devices enough for these assistants to useful cause they want to roll their own. So their only hope is to create a stand alone device.. But yeah they're dead in the water.

What's the goal of a self rewarding llm?
funny you say that. I recently installed the latest vs community edition and initial startup and general performance has been very snappy.

I am running very little extensions but with hot reload enabled I'm blazing through work.

I find it useful for oneliners and scaffold things like building mappers from one object to another.

Other than that don't trust it.
