axpy906··on Claude Opus 4.7
That’s kind of funny since a Chinese model started the thinking chains being visible in Claude and OA in the first place.
axpy906··on Oracle slashes 30k jobs
Post should be hire. People are missing the point they traded out data center cost for human cost.
axpy906··on Midnight train from GA: A view of America from the tracks as airports struggle
“ That is what drew Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman for one of the Civil War’s seminal campaigns that helped defeat the Confederacy.”

To be clear Sherman burned it to the ground which is why it got renamed Atlanta.

axpy906··on The Story of Marina Abramovic and Ulay (2020)
Isn’t that the soul cooking lady from the Podesta files?

Edit: yup looks like it

axpy906··on Ask HN: How is AI-assisted coding going for you professionally?
ZDR in place at API level but need enterprise contract if on a plan. Vendor lock-in and IP drivers.
axpy906··on Working and Communicating with Japanese Engineers
Yeah, saw Mericari and had some flashing lights go off.

Most Japanese tech is in - well Japanese - companies like Mericari, Woven and Rakuten are exceptions, hence you get a blog post on how to speak English properly.

すぐ死ね Sugu shinu The die quickly game
axpy906··on Gemini 3.1 Pro
Have 2.5 in prod. Hope they release 3 lite soon so it will be easier to swap them. Holding my breath as pro pricing is a non starter.
axpy906··on U.S. jobs disappear at fastest January pace since great recession
The scariest party is the uniparty.
axpy906··on Amazon cuts 16k jobs
Based on what Amazon team you are in more than half are born in India. Makes sense they’d be moving operations there.

My eyes.
axpy906··on ClickHouse acquires Langfuse
Ohh. Reply from Shawn. I love your work. As far as I recall, we were not looking for a net of features but specifically a git like API that could manage and version the prompts. Meta data tagging, Jinja2, release labels and easy rollback. Add that up with Rest, Typescripts and Python support and it worked pretty well. Langfuse seemed way better at tracing though.

I haven’t used their product so you’re probably right. I’m biased as an AI engineer because I get contacted to help implement AI in existing platforms. While I admire the pivot the reality is what they have is already quite behind. Anything I make these days is old in about three months… You’d ideally want to start fresh and not have to worry about codebase that is years old.
axpy906··on ClickHouse acquires Langfuse
I don’t know about that. I looked at them a couple of months back for prompt management and they were pretty behind in terms of features. Went with PromptLayer

SaaS company pivots to AI. Gets funding rebranded as AI company. Buys a company that actually knows it.

It’s still early but I question how much of these SaaS companies will continue. I’d rather connect Claude or whatever to do my task than have to learn a new platform let alone login to it.

axpy906··on iCloud Photos Downloader
This great. I want to switch to android but the only thing stopping me is eight years of photos. No more.
axpy906··on Carrier Landing in Top Gun for the NES
“the landing portion of the stage looks like this” Have not seen that ever and had an NES
axpy906··on Gemini 3 Pro: the frontier of vision AI
So Gemini was the most non-deterministic model of them all and now we get this one with temperature at 1 and max thinking. It’s so random that it’s hard to justify putting in my setup right now.
axpy906··on This week in 1988, Robert Morris unleashed his eponymous worm

60k computers ( mostly at institutions ) in 20 countries

axpy906··on Washington Post editorials omit a key disclosure: Bezos' financial ties
Probably relates to some of the political controversies surrounding the source NPR here: https://grokipedia.com/page/NPR_controversies
axpy906··on Washington Post editorials omit a key disclosure: Bezos' financial ties
I am both bemused and disappointed that the top comments are all political. Kind of plays into what Billionaires like Bezos would want - the commoners bickering and not united.
axpy906··on Advent of Code 2025: Number of puzzles reduce from 25 to 12 for the first time
I don’t think I ever could do all the 25 so this is fine with me.
axpy906··on My trick for getting consistent classification from LLMs
Arthur’s classifier will only be as accurate as their retrieval. The approach depends on the candidates to be the correct ones for classification to work.
axpy906··on Show HN: AI toy I worked on is in stores
I don’t get it. Why no American accent?
axpy906··on Anthropic's Prompt Engineering Tutorial (2024)

axpy906··on Now open for building: Introducing Gemini CLI extensions
My experience was while it had longer context it didn’t do as well on coding tasks. I use CC after being on Cursor.
axpy906··on Devpush – Open-source and self-hostable alternative to Vercel, Render, Netlify
Backend engineer here. I have no clue either. I think you’re getting downvoted because it’s easy to search?
axpy906··on Why did Crunchyroll's subtitles just get worse?
> I'll be shocked if anime isn't available on YouTube.

In 2002 it was and I really liked it then.

axpy906··on Ask HN: What's your experience with using graph databases for agentic use-cases?
I am glad I stumbled upon this thread. I’ve not heard positive things in the past about graph dbs. That said, working with legal documents, it makes sense to have both vector and graph search (after candidate refinement) for this domain…
