> Go is absolutely an easier/simpler language than JS/TS.

You're suggesting that a language with concurrency is simpler/easier than a language that does not have concurrency.

I was really into Andy's blog when it first came out, but he might be doing the same motivated reasoning he complains about everyone else doing.

> The one remaining question: why the clean step change?

In the middle of this piece, he runs into a critical flaw in his reasoning and just shrugs it off.

This is a weird take but I think I like it?

Indeed. _everyone_ has noticed it. Nobody really has any plan to fix it. IMO the urbanism movement comes closest to having some practical plans.

> I hope to make it within this year.

What's your plan?

An orthogonal observation: Bearblog seems to have become an anti-AI echo chamber. Their community responds very positively to posts exactly like this one [1] [2] [3]

I think it's just important context to keep in mind that these sorts of takes are very typical to top https://bearblog.dev/discover/ in the same way that certain types of posts are designed to rank well here. I considered migrating my blog there earlier this year and ended up deciding that, while I loved the product, the community was not healthy.

Is the movement to pause or halt datacenter construction filled with naïve children or sleeve-roller-uppers?

This critique reads to me like "capitalists should have asked anti-capitalists about whether or not to do capitalism". This is either going to get resolved through the political process as is proper and good, or else our politics is broken and it will be resolved through older and less peaceful means.

The chorus of people been calling for a pause has gotten louder. I'm ready to join them. Until recently, generative AI was more of a promising novelty than a useful tool. Work theater rather than work. Sometime over the last 6 months this changed. LLMs can do real work, enough that workers and companies and governments need time to catch up to the present state of things.

I noticed this feature earlier in the week and found it helpful and intuitive. I suspect they tested this well and most users liked it. GitHub usually has top rate UX.

Performance is poor and there are a million other reasons to beat up on GH. This is not one of them.

The traditional cursor is so 2025. It's predictable. Familiar. old.

AI is the future, so we need cursors of the future that simulate the frustrating lag and imprecision of LLMS. Dots chase other little dots around and do inscrutable little animations.

Actual answer: You need javascript to see their dumb custom cursor.

How do you find the token speed of open router with kimi?

I have tasks that used to take ~3-5min with Sonnet 4.6. With OpenRouter Kimi, the same task takes 10+ min. It's also just obviously slower in opencode sessions. The results are good, and I love the lower cost, but the speed can be frustrating.

Any specific examples?

If that were the case, you could make a better argument that the opposite would be true. Open text field where you can vent and nobody ever reads it. Checkboxes indicate an attempt to categorize and understand problems.

Physical comment cards you put into a box are often for this purpose.

If you sort https://layoffs.fyi/ by date, the machine started turning in 2020. But it did indeed kick into high gear in 2022.

This was the big one I remember:

I just installed it and continued about my business. I don't have a carefully tuned claude code setup. It has some skills, some CLAUDE.md files, and not much else.

I did also migrate an app from Claude SDK to Pydantic AI to get off claude API pricing. https://pydantic.dev/docs/ai/overview/

I read a casual amount of HN: is this kind of astroturfing normal now? It's unbearable on reddit but I guess maybe it's just everywhere?

There are clear contradictions across their marketing site. As others have pointed out, it's being removed from some help articles and the pricing chart now shows it revoked. Confusing signals, but they seem to be changing all pages in this direction and haven't updated that one yet.

Matches my experience very well. All the goodwill earned from taking a stand against the DoD seemingly forgotten in a month. Coincidentally, I canceled my pro subscription and got set up with OpenCode and OpenRouter last night.

So clearly I cannot choose the wine in front of me!

I'm not sure how you arrive at this conclusion. If you read the paper being criticized, the authors clearly intend to claim that heat exhaust is the cause.

> "The electronic components in AI hyperscalers are characterized by extremely high-power densities, often reaching magnitudes on the order of 107 W/m^2

That's an actual passage from the paper. Masley shows that AI, data centers, and computation writ large have nothing to do with the effects measured. All they discovered was that parking lots and roofs were hot. None of your priors, or mine, or any of the authors, matter here. If Masley is correct, the paper is junk science.

> Next week Anthropic will do something evil and everyone will be moving back to OpenAI.

Anthropic has been, relatively speaking, the most responsible of the frontier labs since its founding. There has never been a point at which OpenAI took a more measured and reasonable approach while Anthropic proceeded dangerously.

These are relative terms, but you'd have to not be paying attention to find this plausible.

Indeed. Why engage with ideas on the merits when you can color (literally) your own opinion of them before even reading.

I guess if you just prefer wearing horse blinders?

The keepass ecosystem is comprised of a dozen implementations of the KDB(X) file spec. Some are better than others.

I built KeePass Tusk back in 2018, for example. This would kill the project and abandon 30K users without a rewrite of the JS engine (there are several now!)

I agree with you that KDBX sucks, but at this point a keepass based on SQLite would be keepass in name only, a new password manager to migrate to.

I had to install the separate gcloud and gsutil utilities and use one to synthesize a login session for the other this week.

Took fully 10 minutes to install from homebrew.

I do not believe in this company.

Is this malware yet? I’m afraid to open it.

How much piracy do you do?

I love a poll that doesn’t tell me what I’m voting for. I can only assume this is an advertisement stunt and not intended to collect any data?
