NSPG911··on Show HN: OpenWork – An open-source alternative to Claude Cowork
how does it compare to opencode's own gui that uses tauri?
NSPG911··on I hate GitHub Actions with passion
you should try it, powershell isnt just 'type insanely long phrases', there are aliases for it
NSPG911··on ASCII Clouds
i would kill to have something like this in wallpaper engine
NSPG911··on Anthropic invests $1.5M in the Python Software Foundation
It happened quite a while back, most of us knew what direction this was going (Claude Code uses Bun, OpenCode uses Bun, they need Bun to work the best for Claude Code)
NSPG911··on How Google got its groove back and edged ahead of OpenAI
Not exactly sure why you are paying for Claude Pro, doesn't GH Copilot Pro give you Claude Opus 4.5 (which I'm assuming you are using since it is SOTA for now). OpenCode lets you use GH Copilot, so you can use OpenCode's ACP adapter and plug it into the IDE

i dont think you need to select name and size, you can just remove it and use `select -first 4`, but cool, I never knew about `/=` syntax
NSPG911··on Intricuit: A touchscreen add-on for Mac laptops
well it is cool, but im missing the point of it, why?
NSPG911··on Opus 4.5 is not the normal AI agent experience that I have had thus far
> Opus 4.5 ate theough my Copilot quota last month

Sure, Copilot charges 3x tokens for using Opus 4.5, but, how were you still able to use up half the allocated tokens not even one week into January?

I thought using up 50% was mad for me (inline completions + opencode), that's even worse

NSPG911··on I switched from VSCode to Zed
Doesn't Helix support debuggers via the Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP)?
NSPG911··on It's hard to justify Tahoe icons
The animation isn't even in the background...
NSPG911··on Show HN: Terminal UI for AWS
Seems like everyone is interested in Rust, but yours was written in Go.
NSPG911··on Can Bundler be as fast as uv?
mise is pretty nice, though I don't use it for python, Python is handled by uv with poethepoet as the task runner.
NSPG911··on Toad is a unified experience for AI in the terminal
Sure, to each their own. No one forced you to use it, you have a thing called free will, and you can gladly use it.
NSPG911··on Tell HN: Happy New Year
Happy New Year from Singapore!

Finally got my first GitHub repo to 100 stars (yesterday!) so that is something I'm really dang proud of. This year, I do have my Cambridge A Level Examinations coming up, hopefully I don't mess it up as bad as I did for my O Level Exams...

NSPG911··on Toad is a unified experience for AI in the terminal
The creator of Toad, made a TUI framework in Python (Textual). What is so special about Rust, aside from it being blazingly fast and compiled, that you want from it?
NSPG911··on Toad is a unified experience for AI in the terminal
It's more like just a simple toml file. https://github.com/batrachianai/toad/tree/main/src%2Ftoad%2F... gets you the currently supported ACP clients

And Copilot isn't supported for now because, well, there is no ACP support

NSPG911··on Toad is a unified experience for AI in the terminal
Not planned for now I believe, you could try making a new Discussion for it.
NSPG911··on A Cheat-Sheet for Helix
Nice to see Helix yet again. It is my default editor, never really got the hang of Vim and I quite like Helix's Selection -> Action system.
NSPG911··on Show HN: Sqlit – A lazygit-style TUI for SQL databases
I asked the same thing on Discord where he also showcased it. He answered the question with this.

> I wanted to make something that makes intuitive sense to me, and I wanted to make a sql version of what lazygit does, namely you can just jump in and there's no need for external documentation. To navigate the harlequin with keyboard only you have to learn the keybindings. Also I though it was quite hard to connect to databases via the cli and install adapters (again, documentation necessary). I wanted to have a tool that you can just run and its intuitive. There's definitely more features in harlequin and I went with more lightweight, though sqlit has SSH tunnels, which harlequin lacks.

When I linked lazysql[0], he replied with this

> That was my original inspiration. Same problem with harlequin, I didn't feel like it was intutive and to follow the "lazy" mindset of lazydocker and lazygit, it should just be easy and not require looking up keybindings. Lazysql ended up with too many features for my taste to the point it was difficult to use

NSPG911··on RemoveWindowsAI
im not exactly sure why they have chosen to execute as scriptblock, but normally, you can just do ``` irm <url> | iex ```

which essentially sends a request (curl) and runs everything (iex)

NSPG911··on Mistral releases Devstral2 and Mistral Vibe CLI
thats an issue with aider. using a proper framework in the alternate terminal buffer would have greatly benefitted them
NSPG911··on After Windows Update, Password icon invisible, click where it used to be
I never laughed so hard from watching a PR's comments.
NSPG911··on Ask HN: Quality of recent gens of Dell/Lenovo laptops worse than 10 years ago?
do you have a link to the $600 PC?
NSPG911··on The Lucas-Lehmer Prime Number Test
i found out that most articles behind paywalls dont even need the wayback machine to be viewed

if you are using firefox, just enter reading mode and you can read the entire article without popups in your preferred background, text color, font, etc

NSPG911··on Hack Club: A story in three acts (a.k.a., the shit sandwich)
the animation is so useless and doesnt add anything to the actual post
NSPG911··on Show HN: qqqa – A fast, stateless LLM-powered assistant for your shell
very cool, can be useful for simple commands, but i find github cli's copilot extension useful for this, i just do `ghcs <question>` and it gives me an command, i can ask it how it works, or make it better, copy it, or run it
NSPG911··on Uv is the best thing to happen to the Python ecosystem in a decade
have you tried pixi for this?
NSPG911··on Alibaba Cloud says it cut Nvidia AI GPU use by 82% with new pooling system
way too early to say that

while qwen, deepseek and kimi are opensourced and good, they are preferred because of their insane token ratio, they use a lot less for more, but a by product is that they are less accurate it is amazing progress by the chinese companies, but they definitely can improve a lot more

NSPG911··on Liquibase continues to advertise itself as "open source" despite license switch
^ any app has its source available if you try hard enough
NSPG911··on Uv overtakes pip in CI
uv still has some issues, it cannot pull from global installations like pip, so on termux, something like tree sitter cannot be installed, because tree sitter is provided by apt/pkg
