Not sure if you're joking, but that's a style convention on the article's part.

> trivially re-implement

That's... concerning to anyone who has tried or witnessed a trivial rewrite. Let me hold some hope in the institutions that be to stop this from being hastily deployed.

I'd say this holds true for LLMs in general depending on your standards of interest, but Codex has blown Claude out of the water for me personally. It seems to have much better code "taste" than any other model.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but GPT-5's pelican is its most impressive improvement over 4o I've seen. I wonder if Codex' MoE does not contain any expert fit for this task due to its fine-tuning on code.

Did they? I only recall them reducing clock speed to offset battery degradation.

What? How is selling a product with the promise of future updates under the same terms not owing us something? This is not some FOSS project we're taking about here.

I've seen the OpenRouter guys here on HN before, so you can probably ask them what to look out for.

No doubt about that, but I'm talking general sentiment. Not the conclusions you'd get to after careful deliberation.

From my Western European perspective: what's specifically striking is how sentiment towards China has improved in turn. Not sure what caused it exactly, but my guess is 1) the U.S. as common rival, and 2) the amalgamation of fears of Chinese manufacturing with newfound fears of U.S. big tech into European nationalism to replace some vague sense of "Western" alliance. The latter may be turning China from the big geopolitical rival to be wary of to just another outside force.

My own government luckily even offers to reach out in your stead if a company doesn't respond to your disclosure, so pen testing random websites seems implicitly allowed, but such a vertict is still scary to read for such an innocuous probe.

The new nano-texture displays are great for this as well. I was able to get some work done in direct sunlight on a Spanish afternoon, while wearing (non-polarised) sunglasses.

> And mac side is obviously competitive on various fronts too.

After a lifetime of Windows use, I'd even say MacOS is almost on par with Linux for development, while Windows' best feature on this front is WSL so you don't have to use Windows.

GitHub Copilot for one, and I'm pretty sure JetBrains' offering does the same.

I much prefer this over those AI generated commit messages that just say "refactored X" every single commit.

I understand that marketing your tool for AI/agents is good business nowadays, but using the browser sandbox through WebAssembly seems way over-engineered compared to even a Docker container.

That being said, this would be good as a Coder alternative for basically instant on-boarding if the UX allows for it. Not to mention the great use this would get in a classroom environment, especially when all you've got are Chromebooks.

Impressive tech anyhow. Hopefully you'll find some business model that would justify open-sourcing this someday (other than a last show of goodwill after bankruptcy, as is how I unfortunately often learn about interesting projects).

I personally loved my short stint as iOS developer despite Xcode's flaws. Swift is a great language, and Apple has some really nice API's.

Did using Microsoft's tools ever feel like a political standpoint? Because I won't even consider pitching Grok to my employers/clients for that very reason.

This is very nicely written, but I don't quite get how Linux's hardlinks are equivalent to MacOS's clonefile. If I understand correctly, wouldn't the former unexpectedly update files across all your projects if you modify just one "copy"?

By far the most impressive browser implementation of glass I've seen. Though it doesn't seem like it'd be viable in a "real" website due to compatibility and performance.

Counterargument: it would make for a very funny post-mortem.

Maybe you can hydrate the HTML with a server side function in the same network as your CDN? Though I suppose that limits how close to the edge you can serve your cache.

I wonder how that math works out. GPT-5 keeps triggering a thinking flow even for relatively simple queries, so each token must be a magnitude cheaper to make this worth the trade-off in performance.

Bit premature to post this, especially without some manifesto explaining the particular reason for this fork. The "no rugpulls" implies something happened with Zed, but you can't really expect every HN reader to be in the loop with the open source controversy of the week.

I love the API, but it's a tough sell as a SaaS first — who knows if you'll still be around after I've built my infra around your SDK?

It's basically no extra investment to add an extra zero or two, and it might avoid a hassle later down the line.

There are plenty of opportunities for entrepreneurship in the EU if you don't mind implementing boring, existing tech for more "physical" business owners. It's more that the world of risky VC-funded tech start-ups is somewhat foreign to us.

Such ventures are certainly still out there if you know where to look, but they feel native to the U.S. tech industry in all their facets — for better or worse, I suppose.

> But even a five year old can understand “use this charger/connect and it charges fast, that other one is very slow, and this one doesn’t work.”

It's funny to consider the layers upon layers of abstraction modern children are taught as common sense. Putting water in a container is one thing, but charging a battery must be downright metaphysical at that age.

It's a stylistic choice you sometimes see people commit to. Porter Robinson (a DJ) does the same thing, and it's always struck me as a bit indulgent.

I'm always worried about LLMs unintentionally affecting the actual content, so the extra effort of carefully reviewing the diff just isn't worth it. Markdown + PanDoc is more sensible to me if your document is simple enough.

The sentiment resonates with me, but I don't agree with the suggestion to combine the ON and OFF buttons into a single power button. Given you are stuck with a remote, there is 1) a decent chance your button press won't register, 2) no way of definitively knowing the current power state, as you would with a switch. Being able to spam the button for your desired power state, when it is unclear whether the fan is spinning up/down or not, is good UX when a control with better UX isn't available.
