85392_school··on Malus – Clean Room as a Service
If you don't have any contributors, you could just directly relicense without rewriting the whole codebase. If you do, it would be rude to do this.
85392_school··on Google closes deal to acquire Wiz
This isn't a new observation [0] but this means Google will now have two Wizes, since Wiz is also the name of their internal web framework [1].

85392_school··on Voxtral Transcribe 2
It can actually go much lower. Gemini costs around $0.01/hour of transcription last time I checked.

Are you saying you would use React Native with a language other than JS?

What are you doing about repeated content?
85392_school··on How will the miracle happen today?
This comment leaves me confused as to what you believe. Do you believe a man biking across the country "takes and does not give" in a different way from a charity, or was "someone who takes and does not give" simply not meant in a bad way?
85392_school··on How will the miracle happen today?
Why would he be helped if he truly doesn't give? He speaks about this a little:

  the person being aided can reciprocate with degrees of humility, dependency, gratitude, surprise, trust, delight, relief, and amusement
which, at the time, was genuinely valuable [0].

85392_school··on Getting a Gemini API key is an exercise in frustration
Does it let you use Gemini 3 in Gemini CLI?
85392_school··on FLUX.2: Frontier Visual Intelligence
FYI: photorealism is art that imitates photos, and I see the term misused a lot both in comments and prompts (where you'll actually get subideal results if you say "photorealism" instead of describing the camera that "shot" it!)
85392_school··on Android and iPhone users can now share files, starting with the Pixel 10

85392_school··on GitHub: Git operation failures
Seeing "404: Not Found" for all raw files
85392_school··on Zed is our office
The thing about "basic" here is that it's subjective. It could be that these issues only happen on your machine or that the staff (or even most people) don't need what you're asking for. Of course they should try to fix them anyway, but their backlog is enormous.

85392_school··on Show HN: I built an 8-bit CPU simulator in Python from scratch
AI is penalized for any and all emitted errors through RL, so this kind of carefulness is actually a strong sign of AI.

If GSConnect doesn't work for you, it's also worth trying Valent: https://valent.andyholmes.ca/
85392_school··on Neural audio codecs: how to get audio into LLMs
I've also had luck with Gemini. If I made a few noises and asked which one was higher pitched, it could easily tell.
85392_school··on State-based vs Signal-based rendering

  Vue can be used without Node.
You lose a lot though! You don't get minification and tree shaking, single file components, or hot module reloading. In practice, HMR outweighs the cost of setting up a Node/Deno/Bun environment.
85392_school··on Claude Haiku 4.5
System card: https://assets.anthropic.com/m/99128ddd009bdcb/original/Clau... (edit: discussed here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45596168)

This is Anthropic's first small reasoner as far as I know.

85392_school··on What happens when coding agents stop feeling like dialup?
You don't have to use the built in subscription. They have support for curated APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, GitHub Copilot, OpenRouter, etc), any OpenAI-compatible API, and agents like Gemini CLI and Claude Code in the AI panel.

85392_school··on OpenAI dropped the price of o3 by 80%
I think it's an illusion. People have been claiming it since the GPT-4 days, but nobody's ever posted any good evidence to the "model-changes" channel in Anthropic's Discord. It's probably just nostalgia.
85392_school··on Reinforcement Pre-Training
are we only comparing them in terms of text completion accuracy? does it also improve perf on benchmarks?
85392_school··on Gemini-2.5-pro-preview-06-05
This might be because Gemini silently updates checkpoints (1.5 001 -> 1.5 002, 2.5 0325 -> 2.5 0506 -> 2.5 0605) while OpenAI doesn't update them without ensuring that they're uniformly better and typically emails customers when they are updated.
