Re:China blocks Meta's acquisition of AI startup Manus on Wednesday April 29, 2026 @05:49AM (#47946152)
Manus is just a joke. MiniMax develops one of world's leading open source LLMs. You comparison is an insult to MiniMax.

`jjui` is the best VCS TUI I've ever used, period. I tried `lazygit` and `magit` before and was not impressed.
Re:Karpathy on Programming on Tuesday December 30, 2025 @03:19AM (#46430816)
Exactly. LLMs are a lot like human developers: they benefit from existing abstractions. Reinventing everything from scratch is a recipe for disaster—especially given an LLM’s limited context window.
I hate pip, a million times worse than conda

ADK is anything but minimal. It indeed has too much abstraction. It's certainly designed to promote Google's own services. If you are looking for lightweight frameworks, consider smolagents or Pydantic AI. Even OpenAI Agents SDK is simpler. LangChain/LangGraph are the epitome of incompetent designs.

I've also been on OneNote for 20 years. I've been trying out Obsidian. But there is simply too much stuff already in OneNote.

Your theory does not hold if a user initially had great experience for weeks and then had bad experience also for weeks.
ByteDance’s Volcengine is doing very well offering paid LLM services in China. Their Doubao Seed models are on par with other state-of-the-art models.
Re:Remote MCP Support in Claude Code on Monday June 23, 2025 @03:07AM (#44353202)
Claude Code had been supporting SSE transport without requiring mcp-remote.

So I don't really understand what's new in this announcement.

Maybe what's actually new is streamable HTTP and OAuth?

https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/blob/main/CHANGELO...

  1.0.27
  Streamable HTTP MCP servers are now supported
  Remote MCP servers (SSE and HTTP) now support OAuth
  MCP resources can now be @-mentioned
Re:uv downloads overtake Poetry for Wagtail users on Monday March 17, 2025 @06:18AM (#43386828)
I'm extremely satisfied with Pixi. It fixes almost all the issues I had with conda and mamba. It supports both conda and pypi (via uv) packages. I don't know if uv fixes pip's dependency management hell. I settled on conda packages because pip was such a mess.

Re:Firefox Development Is Moving from Mercurial to Git on Wednesday November 15, 2023 @12:50PM (#38279821)
Mercurial, with its changeset evolution and phase management, is gazillions times more powerful than Git in terms of history rewriting.

Re:How to undo almost anything with Git (2015) on Tuesday December 24, 2019 @02:28AM (#21870507)
evolve doesn't have a purge command. It has a prune command.

purge is not a third party extension. It is distributed along with Mercurial.

Re:How to undo almost anything with Git (2015) on Tuesday December 24, 2019 @02:02AM (#21870403)
You surely don't know much about Mercurial.

"purge" has NOTHING to do with commits. "purge" only removes file not tracked by Mercurial.

"graft" replaced "transplant".

"graft" copies commits while "rebase" moves commits.

These commands all have very clear purposes, unlike those in Git.

It's just that you haven't really bothered to spend a few minutes on learning them.

Re:Crontab.guru – cron schedule expression editor on Friday October 04, 2019 @01:27PM (#21159876)
Try systemd-cron https://github.com/systemd-cron/systemd-cron. Best of both worlds: simplicity of crontab and manageability of systemd. And it comes with built-in MAILTO support.
