awllau··on LG to ban residential proxies from smart TV apps
What happens to the copies already installed?

Spur says these SDKs can keep running after the app is closed and only stop when the user deletes the app or opts out. LG says developers must remove them or have their apps suspended, but the article doesn’t say whether that disables existing installs. If it doesn’t, LG needs to tell affected users which apps to remove.

Does webOS have any way to kill an installed app remotely?

awllau··on China’s open-weights AI strategy is winning
Casado says he was misquoted and walked this back: https://x.com/martin_casado/status/1990462245541982546

"Well, not quite. I'd say 20-30% use open source. Of those I'd say 80% use Chinese based models. So closer to 16-24%."

Reads pretty differently.

awllau··on Ask HN: Add flag for AI-generated articles
I was thinking the same. A lot of people use AI to refine their writing and make it more concise.

I do think the dead giveaways (em dashes, it's not X it's Y, etc.) are annoying to come across repeatedly. A person not bothering to remove these tells feels 'low effort' to me.

The fact that you made a new account to write says it all.
awllau··on Show HN: Shot-scraper video tool for recording YAML-defined webapp feature demos
Great outside-the-box thinking, will be giving this a try, especially with LLMs having computer control functionality. Combine this with some open source video editors and you've basically got your own bootstrapped version of Screen Studio.
awllau··on I rewrote PostHog's SQL parser, 70x faster, while barely looking at the code
Very cool use of AI. Shows the power of Autoresearch when you're actually able to build a strict set of tests that clearly delineate successful outcomes.
awllau··on Openrouter Fusion API
Very cool, thanks for sharing. Speed was my biggest concern and they didn't mention anything about it.

One of the things they neglected to discuss was how much longer it takes given the synthesis step. I guess for a deep research benchmark, it doesn't matter much, but will be interesting to see how it applies to coding tasks.
awllau··on Hetzner Price Adjustment
So happy I came across this. Need to rethink a few projects.
awllau··on Ask HN: Has anyone replaced Claude/GPT with a local model for daily coding?
Based on your explanation, it doesn't sound feasible for me, a complete non-engineer, to switch to fully offline? I do a lot of back and forth discussion with LLMs as someone who reads and writes 0 code.
awllau··on Show HN: Skill for your agent to visualize your gbrain and Obsidian
Do people even use the visual/graph views at all or is it just optics? I'm thinking about it from the perspective of using LLMs to search your own database, and I imagine it reaches a scale where it's not feasible or effective for a human to be manually searching.
awllau··on Using Claude Code: The unreasonable effectiveness of HTML
Makes sense for actual devs. For non-devs who'd just edit docs via LLMs anyway (myself), I can't imagine it'd introduce much friction.
