Re:Mistral raises €3B on Tuesday September 08, 2026 @09:18AM (#49609949)
Mistral is quite fast for my proofreading tasks. I've benchmarked various LLM providers on my Singapore and Hong Kong VPS instances, and `mistral-small-latest` was the fastest. The quality was not that high tho, but it is worth it for the speed
Re:Htmx 4.0.0 has been released on Saturday August 29, 2026 @11:09AM (#49490553)
Can anyone convince me why I should choose HTMX rather than vanilla JS for "sites with limited interactivity"?
Re:Stop Making TUIs on Saturday August 22, 2026 @10:42AM (#49400272)
Bit of an overstatement, but I agree with part of it:

- A lot of TUIs that run on your own machine and have a mature GUI alternative are indeed not necessary. I once tried to replace Spotify with ncspot, which was exactly falling into the "TUI is more advanced" trap.

- The real target of this article is people who treat TUI as a kind of identity, not people who have to work in a terminal because of their job and therefore have plenty of good reasons to use TUIs.

But the title and the general tone are still too clickbaity, which is kind of annoying. In reality, apart from a small portion of TUIs that were created just to follow the trend and clearly have better GUI alternatives, most TUIs are really just side tools that grow out of one premise that we have to work in the terminal.

And even those flashy TUI tools still make life easier for people who work in a terminal. If you prefer GUIs, fine, you don't have to use them, but that doesn't mean they have no users or no value.

If that's true, I wonder how many years it will take to use up the remaining unused Swedish words.

It’s like how Super Mario Bro was managed to put into 40KB of ROM
Re:Our position on open-weights models on Tuesday July 28, 2026 @05:54AM (#49081604)
I'm surprised to see that this hasn't received enough downvotes to be grayed out. It seems those who can downvote on HN mostly believe this BS
Agreed that life is not about optimizing everything. I do enjoy writing code by hand when the framework or language is delightful to work with, it's just that HTMX isn't that choice for me. The h-attributes model doesn't fit the way I think. Also, my original point was more that once agents write most of the code, "delightful to hand-write" stops being the main criteria for picking a framework.
In the pre agentic coding era, I was hyped about HTMX for providing a classic way of web development over React. But after not writing code for several months, all work done by claude code / codex, I find myself not caring whether the framework is HTMX or React anymore. I mean, why do you bother if you don't write the code yourself. And I'm even starting to feel React's advantages: good ecosystem, rich UI kits, reusable components… these are all where HTMX falls short. I'm surprised to see most people in this thread didn't mention any of these.

Ask HN: How long has it been since you last opened Stack Overflow?

As Claude Code, Codex, and other AI coding agents take up more and more of our daily work, I've noticed that I now spend most of my time writing specs, nailing down requirements, and talking to the agent, rather than actually poring over the details of the code.Today, for some totally random reason, it suddenly hit me that I haven't opened Stack Overflow in a very, very long time, at least half...

There's one thing you forgot to mention, that Fable would be taken down tomorrow :(

It's been some years since I last heard about Elm, but I still rememeber how it blew me away when I first saw it
Re:Zo Computer on Saturday July 04, 2026 @09:15PM (#48790478)
I will tell my feed reader agent that this kind of website is what you should ignore.
As someone who knows a lot of Alibaba engineers, this is a fairly common thing and nothing special. Their company owned device has the most strict security control I've ever seen, and it's been for many years. Many softwares are not allowed to run. To me I think it's quite reasonable as the company owned device can access most of the internal resources of this huge monoploy, many of them are confidential. This kind of restriction is only for working in the company, employee's own device out of the company is free from surveillance.
Re:Fable 5 Is Back on Wednesday July 01, 2026 @10:38PM (#48755776)
In the days without Fable, I find that Opus is good enough. Now it's back, but I totally don't miss it now.
I'm getting tired of the "second brain" concept, it is mostly a hallucination of the human brain

Re:Unlimited OCR: One-Shot Long-Horizon Parsing on Tuesday June 23, 2026 @10:50AM (#48645922)
FYI, "Unlimited OCR Works" is a Fate/stay night reference. The original "Unlimited Blade Works" is a magic whose entire premise is copying weapons other people forged
Re:Siri AI on Monday June 08, 2026 @11:37PM (#48456035)
There's only one thing that matters, that Siri would become an independent app that can see through its calling histories, which should have been done since the first day it launched.
It offers the best DX of all the messaging apps
FastCGI is theoretically better does not make it the easier choice in reality, the success of HTTP is just another case of "worse is better"
S3 and B2 both have web UI, so if this is what your vibe app do, it's useless
In the demo bro shows how to search for "a car with a bike rack on the back that cut me off at night." Given the grudge he must've held from being cut off, I strongly suspect that finding this specific car was his main motivation for building the project in the first place

Re:Ki Editor - an editor that operates on the AST on Wednesday March 11, 2026 @11:55PM (#47346265)
I just want to ask a practical question to people who are familiar with Vim and have already tried Ki, what are your thoughts on it? Is it easy to get used to Ki's keybindings?
Re:I’m joining OpenAI on Monday February 16, 2026 @10:36AM (#47036336)
Great products sell methodology, not just code. Great developers produce methodology. So what OpenAI bought isn't a developer, but a meta-methodology owner. It's a bet on Peter's mind to produce leading methodology for agent applications.
