Keats··on Writing Rust code that's fast by asking agents to make the code faster
As the author of Tera mentioned in the article, I am curious how it can get 2x faster. Was the benchmark using tera v2 with the `fast` feature enabled?
Keats··on US plans online portal to bypass content bans in Europe and elsewhere
It isn't blocked? I'm in France and I can see it just fine.
Keats··on Qwen3-Coder-Next
Testing speed is easy yes, I'm mostly wondering about the quality difference between Q6 vs Q8_K_XL for example.
Keats··on Qwen3-Coder-Next
Is there some indication on how the different bit quantization affect performance? IE I have a 5090 + 96GB so I want to get the best possible model but I don't care about getting 2% better perf if I only get 5 tok/s.
Keats··on U.S. Emissions Jumped in 2025 as Coal Power Rebounded
and per capita?
Keats··on Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2025 – Show and tell
Any tips on that? My wife is starting her Etsy shop (https://www.etsy.com/shop/BravinaPrints) but she is not really getting any visits and still trying to figure out what kind of stuff she wants to draw.
Keats··on Universal Tool Calling Protocol (UTCP)
I've just found out about this today, has anyone tried it?
Keats··on Agentic Coding Recommendations
I'm not sure if it's Rust related. It manages to write the Rust code just fine, it's just that it doesn't seem to

- think of everything that is needed for a feature (fixable via planning at the beginning)

- actually follow that plan correctly

I just tried with a slightly big refactor to see if some changes would improve performance. I had it write the full plan and baseline benchmarks to disk, then let it go in yolo mode. When it was done it only implemented something like half of the planning phases and was saying the results look good despite all the benchmarks having regressed.

Keats··on Agentic Coding Recommendations
Yep i know but I have free AWS credits sooo
Keats··on Agentic Coding Recommendations
I've been trying Claude Code with Sonnet 4.0 for a week or so now for Rust code but it feels really underwhelming (and expensive since it's via Bedrock right now). Everytime it's doing something it's missing half despite spending a lot of time planning at the beginning of the session. What am I missing?
Keats··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (May 2025)
> As a fun side project, I run https://homestra.com a kind of Zillow for Europe but for second/vacation homes

This is cool but it really needs a map. If I'm looking for a house i know the rough area, I don't want to see the whole country listing

Keats··on Show HN: Rv, a Package Manager for R
It's not planned for rv, this is whole other can of worms. Something like nix/docker should work but I'm not working on that part myself so I can't comment.
Keats··on Show HN: Rv, a Package Manager for R
Yes, if you list it in the rproject.toml from a specific repo/url/git etc it will use that
Keats··on Show HN: Rv, a Package Manager for R
Not yet but it is on the radar.
Keats··on Show HN: Rv, a Package Manager for R
We actually do use a bit of their code for the linking phase, which they seem to have taken from Cargo. For the rest, Python and R are way too different in how they handle packages to allow sharing code.
Keats··on Show HN: Rv, a Package Manager for R
I could be wrong but I feel like the overlap between mise and R users is likely very tiny
Keats··on Show HN: Rv, a Package Manager for R
By default, rv will create a library folder in the same folder as your rproject.toml and there's rv activate/deactivate to add it to your loaded libs. Pretty much the same stuff as a virtualenv in Python.
Keats··on Marine Le Pen banned from running in 2027 and given four-year sentence
> I also don't support banning her from running, but it's harder for me to understand and argue why I feel that way

Here she is advocating for life ineligibility for politicians found guilty of crimes when elected: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9h38r0

5 years is less than what she advocates for so she should be happy

Keats··on Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (November 2024)

  Location: France
  Remote: Yes
  Willing to relocate: No
  Technologies: Python/Rust/TypeScript
  Résumé/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vincentprouillet/
  Email: hello@vincentprouillet.com
I'm a software engineer with over 15 years of experience. I've been working remotely for the past 10 years, most recently for a YC biotech startup for 5 years (found through HN!) as well as dabbling with AI for a failed startup and some contract work. I've worked across the stack, from purely frontend work to processing jobs in Rust and everything in between. I do quite a bit of open-source projects in Rust: https://github.com/Keats/
Keats··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2024)
France is not in the greenhouse dropdown. What's available there?

Keats··on Exploring Gleam, a type-safe language on the BEAM
Has anyone very familiar to Elixir tried Gleam? I've been eyeing Elixir for years but I would miss types. Gleam looks nice but you lose Phoenix/Liveview which is 90% of the appeal of Elixir to me.
Keats··on Borgo is a statically typed language that compiles to Go
So if you have a concept that doesn't have an equivalent in English you just kinda translate it and add a comment for other people of your language to understand what it is?
Keats··on Mistral Le Chat
Little typo with "égalemetn" but it's exciting!
Keats··on Plane got to top spot in project management on GitHub in less than a year
That does look like a pure copy of Linear UI wise
Keats··on Django 5.0
Interesting, I was thinking of the exact same thing. Glad to see it works!
Keats··on Django 5.0
I haven't used Elixir yet and mostly using flask in Python for work but I started with Django (and still think it's better than flask for most apps). If stuff like https://github.com/aesmail/kaffy (first thing I've found on google, never heard of it before) is on par with the Django admin, would you still use Django or Elixir and never look back?
Keats··on Before OpenAI, Sam Altman was fired from Y Combinator by his mentor
I can't believe someone that created Worldcoin could not be trustworthy.
Keats··on A new F# compiler feature: graph-based type-checking
Is it easy to develop in it without using Windows?
Keats··on Apple says it'll remove iMessage and FaceTime in UK rather than break encryption
Unless it's China in which case they will not care about it!
