Orkut didn't gain any traction in the Netherlands and it's all about the "kut" part in the name...
Gotta find some rich friends in order to buy and host a H200 or two.

Us? Ask the agents.
Re:Claude Code reads AGENTS.md only when telemetry is on on Wednesday September 23, 2026 @09:09AM (#49815527)
The only difference between CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md is the filename. Do you really need a whole plugin system to support that use case? Feels like this could have been a one line change.

Will this become open source?
I'm fairly happy with uBlock Origin Lite. Sure the original was better but this one does the job as well. uBlock Origin Lite is a MV3 extension, by the same author.
Some guy named Claude screwed up.
This is the successor of https://github.com/JetBrains/xodus, but with quite some differences.
Interesting but how is an "autoresearch loop" different than creating a spec and X number of testcases and letting an agent run against these testcases and the spec?

LLMs.txt is also nonsense since it isn't adopted by any of the major AI players.
Thanks for the insight, changes my perspective.
Easy to criticize this, but I rather see GitHub survive than fail under its own success. So thanks for acting on this MS!
Does any of the LLM providers actually use llms.txt?

If I remember correctly this "standard" was setup by someone but without involvement of any of the major AI players.

Curious on what (how much) hardware your running this.
Re:JetBrains Cancels Fleet on Tuesday December 09, 2025 @03:17PM (#46210053)
Really? I'm daily driving JetBrains IDEs on Apple M3 and don't recognize any if this. Just give it a bunch of extra heap memory (eg 4g instead if 1gb) and it's fast!
Re:I can't recommend Grafana anymore on Saturday November 15, 2025 @06:56AM (#45936811)
Well the docs say the old way (no Kafka) is on its way out:

"However, this architecture is set to be deprecated in a future release."

So it doesn't stay optional unfortunately. It quite a heavy dependency to include...

Re:Tell HN: AWS us-east-1 services are down on Monday October 20, 2025 @03:33AM (#45640886)
Couple of years ago us-east was considered the least stable region here on HN due to its age. Is that still a thing?
Adobe Flex with Adobe Catalyst. Design a GUI in Photoshop, export it to Flex/Flash to add interactivity.

Looked cool during demos. Got killed when Flash died.

Exactly, also requires authentication. How can this be 10/10?
Only the higher/highest tier Google Workspace users can send these kind of emails. Anyone can read them.

JetBrains native AI assistant supports Ollama out of the box. No need for a 3rd party plugin anymore.

Shindig https://shindig.apache.org/ was the reference implementation of this spec. Was pretty novel at the time.
