aratahikaru5··on DeepSeek Harness developer preview
The landing page provides more context than GitHub: https://deepseek.com/harness/en/

The documentation, built from repo, is available here: https://deepseek-harness.github.io/deepseek-harness/en/guide... (I find the development and reference sections easier to read and navigate)

aratahikaru5··on DeepSeek reasonix, DeepSeek native coding agent with high caching and low cost
Not a maintainer, but I've fixed some of the really jarring issues on desktop (mobile needs a complete overhaul though). IMO It's not that bad, and it gets the job done.

Any feedback on how to make it less "shitty"? I feel like doing some vibe coding tonight.

aratahikaru5··on Show HN: Three new Kitten TTS models – smallest less than 25MB
Yes, someone already made a web demo for it: https://github.com/clowerweb/kitten-tts-web-demo (7 months ago). WebGPU support was marked experimental there, but transformer.js v4 (released last month) seems more stable now with some runtime/perf improvements: https://huggingface.co/blog/transformersjs-v4#performance--r...
aratahikaru5··on LMArena is a cancer on AI
How can you tell? (honest question, I really can't)

The article makes strong points, includes real data and quotes, shows proof of work (sampling 100 Q&A), so does that even matter at this point? This doesn't feel like "slop" to me at all.

aratahikaru5··on I switched from VSCode to Zed
I had the same issue a few months ago with TSX files and ended up going back to Sublime. I just found out (after reading your comment and doing some searching) that Zed has a setting to force Prettier globally.

Might be helpful:

  "prettier": {
    "allowed": true
  },
aratahikaru5··on ManusAI Joins Meta
Some context:

> Fun fact: Manus is currently SOTA on the Remote Labor Index (RLI) benchmark that @scale_AI and @ai_risks released earlier this year.

> https://remotelabor.ai

Source: https://x.com/alexandr_wang/status/2005766469771223106

If you've been following Manus and their work on context engineering, or have used the product, that line doesn't come off as satire IMO.

aratahikaru5··on React Flow, open source libraries for node-based UIs with React or Svelte
You can programmatically remove the watermark, either via a flag or by changing the source code.

> [1] No, you can do whatever you want with it since it’s MIT

But if you use it in a commercial project, they'll likely shame you if you don't pay - like what happened to OpenAI with Agent Builder:

> [2] Hey @OpenAI :) We just saw that you are using our open source library React Flow We offer startup discount codes :) Let us know if you are interested

Personally, I’d prefer them to use a dual license, but I understand that it would likely create unnecessary hurdles for devs who just want to try out the library.

They explained their reasoning here: https://xyflow.com/blog/asking-for-money-for-open-source

For the record, I posted the original title: "The Demonization of DeepSeek: How NIST Turned Open Science into a Security Scare"
