Only when my usage runs out
Re:Claude Opus 5.5 on Tuesday September 22, 2026 @12:57PM (#49804411)
25% more usage sounds about right given the other token costs are down about 20%? I don't think cache read is a big portion of the overall cost.
Re:ZCode, the GLM coding agent, silently uploads your Git history on Saturday September 19, 2026 @05:30AM (#49764849)
Not that I've seen. The only follow up I've seen from someone was it only happened if you had a free account and not paid (which would explain why I'm unaffected)
I've been using ZCode since it's initial release and can't find any of this in my data. There aren't any logs showing capture or upload, and I don't even have a ~/.zcode/v2/checkpoints/ directory.

So unless they've cleared it all with a recent update then it doesn't seem to affect everyone.

Re:Nine coding harnesses vs. your laptop on Friday September 11, 2026 @04:15AM (#49655092)
Pi is a very basic harness by design. On the other hand OMP is a bloated mess of other people’s workflows.

The trick with pi is to extend it yourself as you use it. It’s pretty easy to do.

You can get around the checks with careful prompting. You’re just interested and want to learn more about it.

Try posting anything even mildly positive about AI on Bluesky and you’ll experience instant hate.
Re:AI, Tools and Transformation on Sunday September 06, 2026 @07:08AM (#49585335)
You need a paid dev account for that. I think self signed installs can run for a year.
Re:AI, Tools and Transformation on Sunday September 06, 2026 @07:06AM (#49585313)
Also the part people forget is the significant coordination cost of having multiple teams work on multiple native codebases.

I hate Electron apps with a passion, but I can understand why the AI companies are using it.

Re:Paint.net 5.2 alpha now runs on Linux on Thursday September 03, 2026 @03:30AM (#49546968)
There’s nothing surprising about Bluesky’s audience being toxic to any mention of AI. It’s the dogma over there and anyone who doesn’t agree has long left or never joined.
Re:Muse Spark 1.3 on Thursday September 03, 2026 @02:44AM (#49546646)
Yep these software benches are only good at testing how well they can one shot. For the kind of attended/assisted development most of us do with agents it’s hard to find a benchmark that reflects my own experience of the frontier models still being quite far ahead.

Confirmation bias.

Reasoning levels are often just injected system prompts so not a great way to fingerprint models.

TBH I don’t think I’ve seen a lidded chip on anything other than a CPU.
Re:Ask HN: Alternatives to GitHub on Saturday August 22, 2026 @10:01AM (#49399836)
The self hosting community is incredibly anti-AI for some reason. I’ve never understood why as using agents has made managing and maintaining my home lab system so much easier.

After trying it out for a bit, it feels like a slow GLM-5.3 but with vision.

The only way the Chinese models financially make sense is if you use their subs or host it yourself. DSV4 is especially token hungry.
Re:Mixtral 8x7B: A sparse Mixture of Experts language model on Saturday January 13, 2024 @09:42AM (#38980340)
You should be able to run Q3 and maybe even Q4 quants with 32GB. Even with the GPU as you can up the max RAM allocation with: 'sudo sysctl iogpu.wired_limit_mb=12345'
Re:RTX 3090 Owner Finds Old Glove Inside $1500 GPU on Monday August 23, 2021 @05:23AM (#28273753)
It figures that the thermal pads are applied by hand, when I replaced mine they weren't very well installed in the first place.

You'd like to think that a GPU like the 3090FE would go through QC that include some sort of stress test. It would only take seconds to see the VRAM temps would be well out of spec.

Unlikely to have a major upgrade until the Broadwell is out in mid-2015.
Re:Updated MacBook Pros on Tuesday July 29, 2014 @06:55AM (#8101570)
Lack of quad core is the only serious issue I have with the 13" now. Hopefully Broadwell will let Apple put a quad core into the 13".

How is Apple magically supposed to know that you've switched phones?
