Bigsy··on Anthropic Subscriptions Offer 5x+ More Value Than OpenAI
Hmm I'm not sure this is really the case I have the pro level of each, and GPT 6.1 Sol feels virtually unlimited to me atm, doesnt feel the same with opus and its probably only a few percentage points better and not in all situations.

How come I can do this in Zed?

No integration to Claude subscriptions seems like it probably makes dead in the water which is a shame
Bigsy··on Show HN: Find the best local LLM for your hardware, ranked by benchmarks
Brew install is broken

It seems pretty rubbish I have to say, its recommending me loads of qwen 2.5 which are really old and I'm easy running qwen3.5 and 3.6 models on this mac at decent quants

Bigsy··on April 2026 TLDR Setup for Ollama and Gemma 4 26B on a Mac mini
For MLX I'd guess.
Bigsy··on HopTab–free,open source macOS app switcher and tiler that replaces Cmd+Tab
Does it have custom layouts? I can see it mentioned, I have rotated monitors so none of the standard ones really suit.
Bigsy··on A Mac-like experience on Linux
Seems like the worst of both worlds. I wouldn't swap my mac hardware for anything so have to do my best to live with macOS but I would take any other OS over it. I just try my best to say inside a terminal if I can.
Bigsy··on How the AI Bubble Will Pop
Deepmind are working on solving the plasma control issue at the moment, I suspect they're probably using a bit of AI.... and I wouldn't put it past them to crack it.
Bigsy··on YouTube addresses lower view counts which seem to be caused by ad blockers
Right or wrong you don't think it was unduly combative right off the bat? Manners cost nothing.
Bigsy··on Show HN: Semantic grep with local embeddings
Clojure would be awesome
Bigsy··on Tesla goes up in flames in video captured by actor Mary McCormack
It looks exactly like the battery venting.
Bigsy··on Cloth: ClojureScript and Clojure library for interacting with Ethereum
Looks dead.
Bigsy··on Ask HN: Dual monitors, or single 4k?
I find a 40 inch 4k monitor perfect to code on.

4k@40" offers about the same ppi as a 27" at 1440p if scaling 1:1. So about the ideal text size imo, and obviously plenty of space to spread your code out.

Its also easy to work off completely one side while doing something unrelated in the other - atm I have a twitch stream and a browser on one side and an IDE on the other where I'm casually coding. Splitting the screens like this give you a better aspect ratio to read off than having 2 smaller monitors.

Bigsy··on Ask HN: Is Dell XPS Developer Edition a Good Replacement of Macbook Pro?
I think people are talking new gen XPS here right? Think all of them have supported 4k external @60hz as they have nothing older than broadwell.

I'm sitting here now with a gen1 xps 13 2015 pushing a 4k monitor at 4k 60hz.

My xps 15 in work also supports 4k @60hz although needs an annoying usb-c to displayport dongle.

Bigsy··on Interview Humiliation
Why not name the company? I'm going to be honest..I don't think this actually happened.
