ulimn··on Anthropic S-1
I somewhat agree to what you said, but also, the whole point of agentic coding is that "code is cheap". So I can't imaging companies like Google not having the resources (whether human or token) to build a better agentic assistant/harness than what Anthropic can. I mean Google has a pretty good starting point with Google Docs, etc.
ulimn··on Setting Up SSH Keys on macOS with Touch ID
I've been using Secretive for years because I didn't bother looking it up how to do it without. I think this is worth doing without an additional third party, especially since it's only a few commands.
ulimn··on Tmux and Claude Code: Sessions, Send-Keys, and the Ceiling
It was unpleasant on a 27" 1440p monitor as well. I think the content is just too narrow in general.
ulimn··on Show HN: BetterWispr – Free, open-source dictation for Mac
How do you keep your prompts from getting just ramblings as you do the thinking?

It sounds like a fun way to "code", but I just can't imagine how it works in reality.

ulimn··on Bitwarden Dual License Model
While keeping feature-parity, right...?
ulimn··on Bitwarden Dual License Model
I think the memory hog you're thinking of is the official Bitwarden self-hosted backend. Vaultwarden is pretty light on resources.
ulimn··on I'm still around.. I'm just not writing here
Oh, one of the few blogs I was following. Sad to see this news.
ulimn··on GPT‑6 and Intelligent UI for everyone
I am curious: Why is it bad to merge chat and work? In Claude I didn't have a porblem with it (although I switched to an OpenAI subscription shortly after they made the merge). Isn't the model capable of deciding if it needs the extra capabilities of Work?
ulimn··on Mistral Large 4
You yourself also kind of pointed out why the discussion about USA and China is not off-topic. The niche Mistral wants to fill (afaik) is that it's European. I, as a European am really happy that they made such progress in so much worse (financial) conditions. I guess it's mostly geopolitics.
ulimn··on Show HN: Pi pod – Run your pi coding agent in sandboxes on your own server
I'll be sure to check this out but in the meantime, I'd like to ask: Isn't it generally a good practice to run coding agents in a VM? It provides a security boundary so that the agent is restricted to the VM.

How does this compare? I see it's an "isolated sandbox", but what exactly does that mean?

ulimn··on Gitea 28.0
Not for long if the next release will be Gitea 290 instead of 29.
ulimn··on Gitea 28.0
I have a feeling that nobody will die (most likely) for choosing forgejo or gitea... Apples and oranges...
ulimn··on GPT-6.1 Sol replaces GPT-6 Sol after just 7 days, with near-Astra intelligence
I suspect it's partly because people didn't jump from GPT-3 to GPT-6.1 Sol and partly because SOTA models from the last few(?) months have been able to tackle most of the regular tasks. It means this new model isn't different in that regard from Opus 4.8, if your mental benchmark is that they both are capable of implementing something like a CRUD app.
ulimn··on GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price
A few words which everyone would understand, like "small, medium, large"? I wish we had something, yeah...
ulimn··on The Mafia may be keeping fentanyl out of Italy
Oh my... Thank you for the link but I couldn't bear to watch it so I just read the summary. It hurts to watch these people.
ulimn··on The Mafia may be keeping fentanyl out of Italy
But who buys these drugs with fentanyl and why? There might a link I'm missing, sorry! :)
ulimn··on CVE-2025-13032: Entering and Breaking the Avast Antivirus Sandbox Part 2
Isn't the model of AppArmor or SELinux a good approach to tackle this problem?
ulimn··on Apple has added persistent 'ads' to iOS, and it's driving users crazy
Sorry I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. I'm happy you also found yourself a good machine! :)

And btw my Air has 16 GB of RAM.

ulimn··on Apple has added persistent 'ads' to iOS, and it's driving users crazy
I am still rocking my M1 MacBook Air and performance-wise I have no complaints. Even doing heavy workload, it manages surprisingly well.

What I don't like is the direction MacOS is heading to. In my opinion, it always catered to the "casual" people UX-wise, but somehow I feel more and more that I, as a developer am just an afterthought.

On the other hand, I replaced Windows on my gaming PC and I keep thinking about buying a Laptop for Linux. I always had a sweet spot for KDE, but the amount of configuration it allows, while having nice defaults is such a nice experience after the Mac...

ulimn··on OpenSpec – A lightweight and configurable AI spec framework
Please don't take this as offense, I'm honestly curious as I'm pretty bad at these things.

You say this is your first time seeing openspec, but you've been working on a pretty similar project for a year now. Openspec and Speckit both seem to have similar (almost same?) goal as yours. Do you just jump into such a project as yours without worrying about others already existing?

I tend to overthink such stuff...

ulimn··on Mistral X Mozilla: Private, Multilingual AI Browsing
It's pretty nice for tedious tasks. I tried to have it look through job listings based on my criteria. It burned through my 5h Claude quota, but what I got was pretty impressive.

I agree on the privacy concerns but this could be useful with a local model, I think.

ulimn··on Java 27
Not just the time, but the environment, the OS as well. Where you can run JVM, there's a pretty good chance you can run your app.
ulimn··on Jellyfin 12.0
Oh my, this immediately looks so much better UX-wise than Swiftfin!
ulimn··on Tailcat – Like netcat, but over Tailscale’s data plane
Does this help? This is what I read on the topic a few weeks ago: https://tailscale.com/docs/concepts/control-data-planes
ulimn··on Maximizing the value of your Claude Code sessions
I started doing this and then a colleague of mine recommended me OpenSpec. It might be overkill for small projects but it’s pretty clean and if you have goldfish memory like me, it helps to track changes.
ulimn··on Elevated Errors for Opus 5
To me it doesn't sound so "economically convenient" to pay extra usage to alternative providers while someone pays 20/100/200 dollars for their service.
ulimn··on OnePlus halts operations in USA and Europe
Do these kinds of products have to sell as many units as a phone targeting the general population? I mean, most of the target audience will hear about a new release / iteration from blog posts, tech news sites, etc., so marketing doesn't need that much resources.

Other than that, I guess it's also not necessary to fill every casual store like MediaMarkts, etc. because unlike my grandma, tech savvy people can order online.

But I'm not knowledgable on these things, so it's mostly just me thinking out loud.

ulimn··on Astro 7.0
(As an outsider, ) I suspect it's because the Rust rewrite was big enough to bump the main version number.
ulimn··on Hetzner Price Adjustment
They don't, in your case. Read the first 2 lines of the linked page.
ulimn··on 1-Click GitHub Token Stealing via a VSCode Bug
I really like Helix. I didn't dig into Neovim much but Helix has pretty nice IDE-like features that I always missed from vim (without riddling it with plugins or using SpaceVim or such). Check it out, maybe you'll like it as well.
