hnidiots3on 650GB of Data (Delta Lake on S3). Polars vs. DuckDB vs. Daft vs. Spark

650GB? We have 72PB IN S3, know people who have multiple EB in S3.

hnidiots3on Why AI won't replace McKinsey

Must live in a strange reality to think consulting hasn’t been disrupted.

hnidiots3on GPT-5-Codex-Mini – A more compact and cost-efficient version of GPT-5-Codex

Codex isn’t even a good model.

hnidiots3on Why we migrated from Python to Node.js

> We did this so we can scale.

lol sounds more like a bunch of front end developers who don’t know what they are doing wanted to use a language they use on the front end on the backend.

hnidiots3on How the Mayans were able to accurately predict solar eclipses for centuries

Because it might not have been the “Spanish”, but certain people who ruined history. So it’s not fair to blame a whole country for the actions of a few.

hnidiots3on Meta and TikTok are obstructing researchers' access to data, EU commission rules

Hmmm apparently EU Commission is not a bully (despite it acting so) HN very defensive of wanting to allow people to research and use your data.

hnidiots3on I've been loving Claude Code on the web

Codex attempts to one shot for me but there’s many rounds of refinement. I haven’t used it in the last couple of weeks because it’s disappointing. Over hyped. Gone back to Amp and a little bit of Cursor with Sonnet 4.5

hnidiots3on Wikipedia says traffic is falling due to AI search summaries and social video

It’s very bias too. If you cite a book from 1870 stating something and it doesn’t align with the persons beliefs it can be rejected.

hnidiots3on Claude Code on the web

Might be who you follow but it seems everyone is talking about it more and more but I never see it mentioned on HN at all. So I figure the AI enthusiasts here aren’t on Twitter. (Just an assumption)

Worth trying out. The free version doesn’t have the oracle so I use the paid version.

hnidiots3on Claude Code on the web

I wonder why people don’t just use Amp Code and use the Oracle.

It’s Sonnet 4.5 + GPT-5 working together.

Codex just isn’t as good as people make it out to be. OpenAI seems to train on a lot of JavaScript/Tailwind to make visuals look more impressive but when it comes to actual backend work it just fails more than it succeeds. Sonnet is much better at chewing through tasks and GPT 5 is great at consulting planning and analysis.

Using Amp and asking it to check everything with the oracle leads to superior results.

But no one on HN has heard of it. I’m guessing HN hates twitter?
