InsideOutSantaon Kimi K3.1 Pro and K3.1 Pro Highspeed

Yeah, the plan is far too expensive for what it provides. I wonder if the quota with these new models will be better, but I'll wait for others to try this out before wasting another hundred bucks.

InsideOutSantaon Kimi K3.1 Pro and K3.1 Pro Highspeed

I have the opposite impression. I find K3 to be extremely capable at full-stack work; its UI design skills are great. I'd love to use it more, but the quota on Kimi's plans is abysmal. I wonder if these new models improve that.

> Seeing as no one besides blackhats want frontier cybercrime capability to be open source

Sure. The problem is that there is no practical difference between "cybercrime capability" and "cybercrime defense capability."

All of my PRs go through an adversarial security review by GLM-5.3, because it's the only smart-enough model with a good understanding of cybersecurity issues that won't regularly refuse the job. Removing that ability from frontier models helps nobody except cyber criminals.

InsideOutSantaon Dutch government had hacked into Jared Kushner's phone

What did you expect him to say? "Yep, you got me, you guys. I did an oopsie. Sorry! I'm turning myself in to, uh, my father-in-law now."

InsideOutSantaon Dutch government had hacked into Jared Kushner's phone

> Kushner could not obtain a security clearance the first time around, due to massive debt

Well, problem solved. He certainly used his new position to get rid of his debt.

InsideOutSantaon Show HN: UI micro interactions prompts for AI

I can see the incremental value this adds to agentic coding. I do think what you've built has value. I don't think it's worth a 30$ montly subscription. Maybe 30$ for a year.

I think I'd target companies and provide customized solutions. "Hey, everybody in your company connects their agents to this, and boom, they all produce consistent output that matches your company's CI."

InsideOutSantaon The HTML-in-Canvas API origin trial

TBH, the first time I read about this, I had to check the date to make sure it wasn't an April Fool's joke I had missed. I'm sure there are some things this would be useful for, but the sheer amount of complexity it would add to web renderers doesn't seem commensurate with how useful it would be.

This kind of stuff just puts even more distance between established engines and smaller projects like Servo.

I have no web servers; all requests go straight to Anthropic's inference endpoint.

InsideOutSantaon OpenShell – A safe, private runtime for fleets of autonomous AI agents

Oh shit, it found a way to escape.

InsideOutSantaon A farewell to Arc browser

Arc was already essentially discontinued in favor of Dia when they were acquired. It only received bugfixes.

We successfully airgapped AI. It's only on earth.

Poor incentives.

ChatGPT signed our company up for Anthropic's startup program. It got us in, too!

I'm way ahead of Anthropic. I just give my agent ssh to prod and tell it to make it better.

InsideOutSantaon WorldTUI: I trained a 360M model to pretend to be a terminal

That's hilarious. I bet if I committed my code into that repo, it would check out with fewer bugs.

InsideOutSantaon Alibaba hikes DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 output prices by 230%

They're just phasing out an old model. Pricing on current models hasn't changed.

InsideOutSantaon Sixteen years after Deepwater Horizon, deep sea life shows few signs of recovery

It does, but it doesn't say it in plain English. It's the same with extreme weather events. Scientists never just plainly say that they were caused by global warming, because you obviously can't prove with absolute certainty that the same thing wouldn't have happened without global warming.

The problem is that bad-faith actors weaponize this language to fight against science, facts, and reality. At some point, the evidence is strong enough that it's fine to just plainly say "x caused y" even if there is a 0.0000000000001% probability that by random chance, y would have happened regardless.

InsideOutSantaon DeepSeek banned from U.S. federal civilian agencies under new DHS order

> Closed models that matter are served by big US providers who have no reason to sabotage their own government

1. How do you know?

2. How do you know they're not themselves the targets of sabotage?

InsideOutSantaon MiniMax M3.1 Flash

It's just pointing out how heavily subsidized subscriptions are. I often read about how much value people get from DeepSeek, but when I try to use it, I end up spending the amount I'd pay for a subscription much faster.

DeepSeek is really cheap when you compare API pricing, but it's more expensive than a subsidized Anthropic or OpenAI subscription.

InsideOutSantaon The obscure trust looming over Anthropic's IPO

> Do you think frontier AI will never generate enough profit to justify its costs?

I don't know, but I'm not sure it matters. Anthropic and OpenAI still have such large market shares only because their services are heavily subsidized. This can't go on forever.

At some point, they will have to stop burning investor money and start hiking prices. At that point, all of their competitors will look even better than they do now. So I don't see how these two companies in particular can generate enough profit to justify their costs.

InsideOutSantaon I no longer care to work on any Ruby gems so I've archived all my repositories

Some people sometimes hate some generalizations.

Correct. The real co-founder of the Forecasting Company is me.

InsideOutSantaon Degraded availability for GitHub Actions, GitHub Pages and Webhooks

This exactly. Moving from GitHub to Forgejo was much less of a problem than we thought when we just told Claude to figure everything out. Kinda crazy, but it worked.

InsideOutSantaon Show HN: The Zelda timeline to catch up before the Ocarina of Time remake

They do have common themes. Sometimes, they (seem to) explicitly refer to each other, and sometimes, they make vague allusions to things you might interpret as having happened in other Zelda games. But overall, I think it's fair to call most Zelda games independent of each other.

InsideOutSantaon Superlite: A Faster Alternatie to Superpowers

I think I don't understand what you mean by process. I just tell the LLM what process I want it to follow, e.g. follow the plan document, use cheaper subagents when appropriate, respond to PR comments before merging, etc. It's usually a short paragraph.

I do use skills for other things, I don't believe that skills are bad. I'm just not sure what they add in this case.

InsideOutSantaon Superlite: A Faster Alternatie to Superpowers

I have agents working on plans for days on their own with just a plan doc and a relatively simple prompt. I usually check the commits once in a while to see what's happening. I'm not sure how superlite would improve that.

InsideOutSantaon Someone behind the software

It's not intentional behavior. LLMs can make mistakes like forgetting a parameter in a prompt or accidentally deleting the wrong folder of emails.

Also, LLMs in these apps use a lot of tokens, so people often use lower-end models, which increases the probability of this happening.

InsideOutSantaon Show HN: The Zelda timeline to catch up before the Ocarina of Time remake

I'm pretty sure Nintendo itself said at one point that they don't have a clear chronological order and may not tie into each other properly, even though they later retconned an order.

Still, it's fun to try to figure out how the puzzle pieces might fit together even though they came out of different boxes.

InsideOutSantaon RepRapMicron

None of the reprap 3D printers can fully make themselves. They all still need additional parts that can't be 3D-printed, like motors and controllers.

It's in their announcement; it's just not written in a way that people immediately understand.
