Re:Self-hosted web push Cloudflare Worker, works on iOS on Friday August 14, 2026 @01:08PM (#49301617)
My biggest problem with web push is that you won’t get notifications on iOS anymore, if you haven’t opened the app for a while. A tad bad for some apps.
Re:GPT‑Live on Thursday July 09, 2026 @03:38AM (#48842234)
How did you give it access to your projects? That’s something I never thought does work as the voice model has no access outside of its scope?
And also the amount of people running it in thousands of scenarios. Not sure if these areas can be even tested for, but I guess time will tell (can observe Bun if it breaks somewhere as that’s afaik the first big AI rewrite which got into prod for masses).
I agree but I think from Bun we learned that a project with really good tests and enough tokens can be converted from one language to another quite good!

In which areas do you feel like the mentioned are bad? Do they find less and your own solution has more success?

If the latter, do you know why?

Re:GitHub Copilot App on Tuesday June 02, 2026 @03:29PM (#48375046)
And the team behind opencode is working on an alternative https://github.com/anomalyco/rift
Because it’s high or low? Imo it’s not that hard to reach that amount, they have quite a few employees, offering services for ~20 years and it’s probably also containing small repos - would’ve imagined way more tbh.
Re:Cursor Introduces Composer 2.5 on Tuesday May 19, 2026 @03:22AM (#48190306)
Isn’t it a really cheap alternative to sota models (according to benchmarks)?
Re:A Tiny E Reader on Saturday May 16, 2026 @07:53AM (#48159359)
I like their approach on going smaller, X4 has the perfect size and I feel like X3 is actually even a bit too small (missing usb c is a bit weird tho).

Compared to kindles going bigger and bigger - now with 11+ I feel like they are too big as a handheld.

Re:I Moved My Digital Stack to Europe on Thursday May 14, 2026 @04:53AM (#48132759)
I think I would move everything too for my hobby projects, if it wouldn’t be that crazy cheap at Cloudflare. I still use external servers in the EU for backend stuff, but CDN, static pages, frontend projects run at Cloudflare for free or the $5 tier. I legit can’t get cheaper than this, till they adjust their pricing.

Their free tier seems way too generous and I suppose this has to be adjusted at some point.

Re:Zed is 1.0 on Thursday April 30, 2026 @03:04AM (#47959177)
Personally the main advantage is to simply spin up new ones with the same setup. You can also do that by yourself but imo it includes way more managing and time compared to exe
Re:Write less code, be more responsible on Tuesday April 14, 2026 @03:45AM (#47762545)
imo a question is, do you still need to understand the codebase? What if that process changes and the language you’re reading is a natural one instead of code?
Seems like they have a rate limit so it is kinda the same as normal subs - don’t really see the advantage yet
Re:Accelerating the Next Phase of AI on Wednesday April 01, 2026 @01:31AM (#47597171)
Where exactly are they behind?
Not directly 2024, there was a big update end 2025
Am I missing something? Isn’t that the language most are using currently when looking at research at openai, google, deepseek etc?
Re:Glaze by Raycast on Wednesday March 04, 2026 @09:08AM (#47247558)
Same thought I had while reading, don’t really see a big advantage here.
Firefox mentions the following ones:

"- Translations, which help you browse the web in your preferred language.

- Alt text in PDFs, which add accessibility descriptions to images in PDF pages.

- AI-enhanced tab grouping, which suggests related tabs and group names.

- Link previews, which show key points before you open a link.

- AI chatbot in the sidebar, which lets you use your chosen chatbot as you browse, including options like Anthropic Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini and Le Chat Mistral."

Re:Speed up responses with fast mode on Sunday February 08, 2026 @04:51AM (#46932872)
Yep same, I often think why this isn’t a thing yet. Running some tasks in the night at e.g. 50% of the costs - there’s the batch api but that is not integrated in e.g. claude code
Re:How to effectively write quality code with AI on Saturday February 07, 2026 @06:47AM (#46923095)
I am similar but I think we just have to adjust. Learn and improve writings specs with all the details.
Re:Nanobot: Ultra-Lightweight Alternative to OpenClaw on Thursday February 05, 2026 @12:05PM (#46901830)
Didn’t openclaw switch to vector based because it used way less tokens as it always loaded all memories? Seems way more efficient
Re:Qwen3-Coder-Next on Wednesday February 04, 2026 @01:57AM (#46882419)
Because they make it easy. Imagine they limit their models to their tooling and suddenly it’s introducing work.
Re:Qwen3-Coder-Next on Wednesday February 04, 2026 @01:55AM (#46882405)
I mean if it’s running in your lan, isn’t it local? :D
My main problem always was that I hoard these links and never read again. Now I am trying to get a short summary (via llm‘s) and it works quite well.
Looks like SES + api access, isn’t Amazon offering that already?
They also have a $20 and $40 tier.

Re:Show HN: I quit coding years ago. AI brought me back on Monday January 19, 2026 @04:28AM (#46676775)
For me it’s kinda the same. I always hated typing actual code, I love planing, reading, finding bugs etc. But writing code? Eh, I never enjoyed that. Now with agents I can kinda do exactly what I like, plan, write in natural langue and then do code review.
