smart sales psychology!

really compelling on-ramp

so this is why the uiux is so important for code harnesses in aiding comprehension than reasoning traces alone

what would you wager the % of codex token usage is folks generating interfaces/building apps?

seems a bit like a snake eating its own tail

Re:GPT‑6 and Intelligent UI for everyone on Wednesday October 07, 2026 @03:49PM (#49997920)
I'm confused. Are they trying steamroll every developers B2C product or are they wanting these same developers to continue building MCP-App plugins on the platform?
so can this receive web push notifications?

pwa's are where the puck is headed
how does this compare to OpenAI nano class models in terms of bench mark scores?

obviously you can't run gpt 5 nano on a mobile device, but if we compare just the performance or things like UI navigation or Text extraction extraction... what is the gap. Is there really a utility gap?

Excited about the enhanced capabilities this affords PWA's

^how about just be a devoted AI section at the top?
how about we make cars more analog, no screens, good AC, and have it cost less than 25k.

I'd literally rather have to roll up my window manually anyways.

good uiux. Youtube video sound track also good. Very inviting.
Re:Ask HN: What are you using OpenClaw or agents for? on Monday April 13, 2026 @08:14PM (#47759634)
pretending that it's useful
profit? or publicity stunt?

Either way a good experiment. Would like to know what the outcome was, what you would do differently. etc

you are awesome.

I was thinking about creating a mw2 multiplayer lobby resume. Doing the whole.Create a class thing for job history. absolutely admire this. well done!

I spent 1500 this month. Crunch time on a project so I went for it.

opus 4.5-4.6 costs of about 250 per day

had requests vary between 5 cents and 45.74 per call...

Hand to God, truly not that many calls per day. Just constant steering.

I essentially gave them my lunch money hand over fist.

opus performance was fantastic.

Though the cost confusion with cursor pricing and well known upcharge is why I'm intending to churn next month to go direct to source with Claude code... without the middle man.

compose 1.5 might keep me from churning now that I'm across the finish line on the project. But 1500usd could have given me Claude code for the year.

Frankly they could be making sh*t up with the cost per call... "Nobody is going to know."

Everyone in America is going to be a farmer. There will be a scramble for establishing homestead properties.

Using 3-5 robots to managed whatever small acreage they amassed. From harvesting,canning and storing into a food pantry. Nearly every household has this automated and 100% owned. Robots get repaired by hand or by another robot. Robots or human operation manage Aeroponics/Aquaponics systems for growing more 'exotic' food items

The neighborhood becomes and micro economy where we barter with each other casually for swapping ingredient inventory.

Probably pretty enjoyable for the first generation or two that previously had corporate 9-5s. Maybe the kids growing up in that environment get bored and crave some other type of lifestyle. I would probably be pretty satisfied to spend my day cooking things I grew myself or shared with neighbors.

I mean think about implementing a proper permaculture food system on your property, like Mark Shepard, but automated...

A solar punk-ish future awaits.

people will definitely still fight over water resources. if not more than ever.

idk, just the scenario I fantasize about when owning a few bots. maybe I would take up some craftsmanship of some kind when I'm not debugging some robot that stalled out in the fields.

Re:Ask HN: Can You Patent Prompts? on Tuesday December 23, 2025 @08:37AM (#46365223)
Hmmm, I think of prompts more like recipes than an algorithm. Similar in both regards, but to the layman, I think prompts are becoming as common practice in daily lives as recipes.

Recipes can be trade secrets but not IP.(Unless it's a super rare circumstance that proves uniqueness in a 'Food Science' way).

I surely hope no one can patent a prompt. That would be an annoying world to live in.

sample anything model?
Would love to finally see PWA's increase their usability.

One of the main features holding them back is that Apple is stifling support for Web Share Target API:

I hope the translation for this is actually "Agree" Deep research. Just a dig at "You are absolutely right!" sycophancy.

this is brilliant. nice write up
This combo reminds me of a character in a recent anime called Scavengers Reign.

This limited series blew my mind. Total master piece.

In favor of integrating fungus with robotics(i think).

this is rad
heck yah, lfg.

right to repair ftw

These guys just launched^

might be a good alternative platform for book publishing if I catch your drift.

a short story to address explaining what vibe coding is for non developers:

Picture this- are tools like Devin "vibe coding"?

if we break down the mechanics of what interfaces it's looping through:

1)Chat 2)IDE 3)CLI 4)Dev console/Browser

and it's effective copy and pasting what it sees while trying to complete an objective it doesn't fully comprehend. Blissfully ignoring the ramifications of desired combinations as long as decent version control practices are being applied. iterating / adjusting prompts subtlety along the way to debug when getting stuck in a thought loop. changing your prompt from "fix it" to something with more "pizazz" as the key to breaking this cycle.

how is it any different than when I do all this manually?

Slog through this game of 4 square long enough and you can pretty much vibe anything together.

was looking at this the other day.

the issue is that they are optimizing for a stationary desktop.

what we actually want is a portable secondary monitor that I can use vscode in the sunshine. I would sacrifice Hz rate for that.

unsure if that boox one is the ticket

wonder if PWAs will normalize under all this grip tightening.
