tornikeo··on What happens when an LLM never sees material beyond fifth grade?
> Hi!

> Hello! What would you like to work on today?

> I want to talk about quantum gravity

> Alright, let's get started. What would you like to work on today?

> List and explain the current mainstream quantum gravity theories.

> Here's a list of the current mainstream quantum gravity theories:

1. The Earth is a giant, spherical object.

2. The Earth's gravitational field is constantly changing.

3. The Earth's gravitational field is constantly changing.

4. The Earth's gravitational field is constantly changing.

...

Then it loops. Lol.

tornikeo··on Why does Opus 5 feel worse to work with?
Claude Code has become the largest noobtrap I've ever seen.

Move, try something else for a change. Codex, Pi, OpenCode, DeepSeek's harness all great harnesses with zero bullshit or drama.

tornikeo··on Claude users are mad that Anthropic's new watermarks will catch them using it
Yet another (accidental) win for the open-weight models.
tornikeo··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (August 2026)
https://peachjam.dev/

A low-cost vibecoding website for non-developers. Still in alpha.

tornikeo··on Microsoft Edge is about to lock out older ad blockers, just like Chrome did
Humans are just so damn different in their tolerance to wasting time. I can't take feeling like I wasted 10 seconds of my time on an ad even when watching an video for recreation.
tornikeo··on Chinese chipmaker shares surge 470%
SoTA AI will move well past 1TB+ memory requirements in 1 year or so.

Also, you will be able to play with much more competent models locally. They will still feel like children compared to the adults living in the SoTA region.

tornikeo··on Reverse-engineering is cheap now
...if done correctly.

You can reverse engineer websites at a breathtaking speed if you do it correctly. PeachJam.dev took me approximately 2 months to make, for instance. If I had access to Sol from the start it would likely just take 1 month.

tornikeo··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (July 2026)
https://peachjam.dev/

It's like lovable but much more affordable. Built on Cloudflare + Hetzner. Still in beta.

tornikeo··on Claude Code May–July 2026 weekly limits promotion
The invisible hand of the free market is working wonders.
tornikeo··on Is the iPhone birth control? Causal evidence from AT&T's 2007-2011 monopoly [pdf]
Surely the electromagnetic radiation from iPhone must be disorienting the storks.
tornikeo··on U.S. government will decide who gets to use GPT-5.6
All they had to do is to keep their mouths shut.
tornikeo··on DeepSeek Introduces Vision
I really need this as an API.

Turns out, to use Claude Agents SDK, you need to have a vision enabled API. If Deepseek API could see, it can fully drive Claude Code and Claude Agents SDK. A project I'm working on relies on a Claude-in-CloudflareWorker setup and I've been relying on Qwen and gemini flash lite, both more expensive than Deepseek.

Can't wait to have it available on deepseek.

tornikeo··on Apple boss Tim Cook says prices to rise due to memory chip costs
Nobody's stopping you from taking advantage of that shortage :) Just don't forget to turn your garage EUV machine on and off if it starts glitching.
tornikeo··on Anthropic apologizes for invisible Claude Fable guardrails
For now codex. Didn't manage to get others to work well. And fully aware that I'll have to move to another thing after OpenAI enshittifies this as well.
tornikeo··on Kimi K2.7-Code: open-source coding model with better token efficiency
That's a baseless claim that borderline reads like shilling. Do you have any proof of that you wrote there?
tornikeo··on Anthropic apologizes for invisible Claude Fable guardrails
I moved off Claude Code 3 months ago.

That decision keeps getting better and better as time goes on.

tornikeo··on FrontierCode
YMMW but on my local tasks Opus 4.8 is nowhere near close to gpt 5.5. For the lack of a better word Opus is just soo damn lazy.
tornikeo··on Forever Young: how one molecule can lock plants in a youthful state (2025)
This was an insightful comment, thank you for writing.

And here's to hoping that the exponentially growing technological capabilities will allow curing death in our (short) lifespans. By God we need that to counteract the ageing population.

tornikeo··on Ultra-processed foods in the global food system: The role of tobacco companies
Tobacco companies should've just announced that "This new tobacco we made is super good, but too dangerous to release, so we are smoking it ourselves and giving it to only the select C-level smokers"
tornikeo··on VoidZero Is Joining Cloudflare
That's as easy as making new Vite. :) Which is hard, not easy but my point stands.
tornikeo··on They’re made out of weights
> AI Art isn't Art. AI Poetry isn't Art

No offense but I couldn't give less of a damn what some guy on the internet thinks. If it makes me feel good in artsy-ways, then it is art, and I don't care how it was made.

Where's the pelican when you need it the most?
tornikeo··on Anthropic surpasses OpenAI to become most valuable AI startup
IMO bad take.

You can theoretically do most things AWS does most of the time, yet people pay premium for it and keep paying for it, even though alternatives are cheaper, simpler and more performant.

I'd bet you that after 20 years OpenAI and Anthropic would still be around and kicking.

You might have a subpar product (for the price) but the reputation and history is what makes people open their wallets.

tornikeo··on Anthropic surpasses OpenAI to become most valuable AI startup
Do you hold any amount of power in the world? A project that people care about, or a deliverable that someone depends on?

Just curious how you can afford to care about the guy 7 levels above the men that built and support the API that you buy.

tornikeo··on Claude Opus 4.8
GPT 5.5 feels worse than 5.4 for the last few weeks. Again N=1, but would be interested to see how opus 4.8 and gpt 5.4 match
tornikeo··on I think Anthropic and OpenAI have found product-market fit
And I think that's amazing. I'd like to keep using the subsidized coding tools, especially Codex, since I've given up on Claude. Hopefully the PMF allows the subsidy to continue. Would hate to have to move to the next coding harness again.
tornikeo··on High-Entropy Alloy
I wonder if the Xenonite is a high-entropy alloy :-)
tornikeo··on Zerostack – A Unix-inspired coding agent written in pure Rust
Simplest explanation I could come up with: Just for hype and fun.

Rewriting things in rust is "cool". Bun did it, other projects did it. Therefore, writing a coding agent in one should be cool too.

And apparently enough HN crowd agrees with it to take the #1 spot on the board.

tornikeo··on We've made the world too complicated
Just as it has always been.

EVERYTHING you use is complicated. The goddamn ATOMS and electronic shells around them are so absurdly complicated that they require quantum computers to even simulate them without approximations.

Everything is complicated, and all humanity has ever done is to try to reign in that complexity (you think about macbook GUI, NOT transistors beneath it).

So, yeah, I fully disagree with what this blog is trying to say. World is infinitely complex - and we are trying our best to make it make sense.

tornikeo··on Access to frontier AI will soon be limited by economic and security constraints
I think so too. The rich will be richer, but also more people will have more at the same time. As Civilization put it: 'Just as it has always been'
