2026 is a weird time, llms on a ps5

Even if you still use the actions the CI / CD minutes can still happen on a self hosted machine. https://docs.github.com/en/actions/concepts/runners/self-hos...

Perhaps they can hill climb a native app instead of the electron and react native nonsense we have today

Major American tech companies are using “scraping,” which involves training AI models on text written by human creators, leading to them “extracting the worlds knowledge” the Chinese National Security Agency, and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency claimed in an advisory.

What do you mean spinning off these nieche offerings?

This is akin to a demo / SDK ready to plug into a store, it’s just making it easy for devs to get started. it’s still using core models and APIs, no special magic models.

Just switch back opus 4.8, it's just as capable and you can actually understand the output

Opus 5 feels slower and less consistent, switching back to 4.8 at this point so I can actually get my work done

We stopped using CFCs to fix the hole in the ozone layer

Apple isn’t friends with OpenAI anymore

"I haven't been able to enter flow state like I can when I hand write code." new flow state is having 10 terminal tabs in diff worktrees and trying to remember what each bit is

“16 developers across 246 tasks”

I believe this game had some interesting anti cheat, it would still let you play if it knew it was cracked but would just make your aim worse and worse until you gave up.

Glad HN is getting to experience the true level of adverts on “news” sites in the UK. It really is next level.

Most people don’t have jobs they enjoy, programmers have somehow escaped this; better pay and more “protected” time instead of doing what the rest of us were doing all along

I really don’t know why there isn’t a brand that’s capitalising on this.

Messaging, calls, maps, notes but no way to take or view images. Marketed simply from a global brand.

Not sure why this has ended up preferable to a smartphone ban for under 16? Surely we could decide to sell dumber devices that allow communication without internet and image sharing / capture?

Regular device accounts now ask you to prove you are 18+ through different processes, mine was enabled based on age of Apple ID.

This is entirely seperate to the family sharing permissions that’s presumably the op is talking about, where I think? They are saying the permissions are not fine grained enough so workarounds are needed.

Here’s a hack, get yourself a cheap eSIM data only plan from an alternative UK network (VOXI, Talkmobile etc) if you main network doesn’t have connectivity; they will!

Find my works fine on a coin cell battery on AirTag, hard to imagine they need to power up the headphones to do the same.

> Developers need the dopamine hit of creation. That’s not a perk, it’s what keeps good engineers engaged, learning, retained, and prevents burnout.

Are developers some kind of special creature? or must they simply learn to deal with the complexity of juggling multiple projects, like every other desk job in 2026.

Mullvad UK customer here, I don’t think watching Americans order at a drive thru is a very compelling ad, had this campaign been more than jus “oh they banned us” you might have got somewhere. Many many UK ads have been banned over the years, the smart ones used the ban to their advantage, this isn’t it.

The tool might be desktop only, but you can’t explain it or show me a video even on mobile?

Have you read the best practices? https://code.claude.com/docs/en/best-practices Are you using plan mode?

I like supporting Wikipedia, I’m glad they raised plenty of money

I don’t feel irritated, I feel pleased I am supporting the web I want to see.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of crooks

why can’t I just pay ticketmaster the face value, why must we allow another middleman to charges me more? because capitalism? na mate
