K3UL··on Show HN: StyleSeed – a design-rules engine so AI agents stop building generic UI
If you consider these non-LLM looking, I have some news for you (not that they don't look good to be clear)
K3UL··on Kimi K2.7 Code is generally available in GitHub Copilot
The price hike was insane yes, but because they were eating the price difference. How exaclty does moving to a Claude sub is better, when it's actually more expensive ?

At my company we did the comparison and Copilot still wins: for 20$ you get a seat and 20$ of usage, whereas with Claude enterprise you get a seat and then usage is completely added. Moreover usage in Copilot is exactly the price of the providers AND it allows us to use various models from multiple providers.

The case that might be less expensive is if you negociate a volume discount with AWS for Bedrock usage, but that is also possible with GitHub and Microsoft.

K3UL··on Physical disc production ending in Jan 2028 for new games on PlayStation
One of the major reasons I upgraded to ps5 was because it would also allow me to play blu-ray movies.

If the PS6 comes out with no disc player at all, not a chance I buy it.

Also, that's a definite middle finger to second hand and physical stores then ? Hoping MS will make a bet in the opposite direction (but I don't see it) and the players will follow..

K3UL··on GitHub confirms breach of 3,800 repos via malicious VSCode extension
GitHub confirmed that it's indeed the nx console extension, in their blog post: https://github.blog/security/investigating-unauthorized-acce...
K3UL··on Plex's price hikes prove I was right to switch to Jellyfin
To me it proves I was right to get the lifetime pass many years ago
K3UL··on Website streamed live directly from a model
Anthropic has experimented with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGiqrsv530Y
K3UL··on Six Levels of Dark Mode (2024)
Did you even read before pasting? Yes technically it is, which would indeed be in line with "levels of dark mode".
K3UL··on Show HN: CSS Studio. Design by hand, code by agent
I agree, I almost missed it and left the website.

Too bad because once I saw it and tried it out, that's when I thought the experience feels slick and polished.

I think you shoud consider either having an onboarding that highlights it or put a giant arrow on your landing page background, between the video and the bar, with a "Try it on this page"

K3UL··on Supply Chain Attack on Trivy
They're right though, using a self-hosted runner has nothing to do with using community actions or not. Installing with curl and sh can be done in a github public runner just as well.
K3UL··on Show HN: Voiden – an offline, Git-native API tool built around Markdown
So we really don't talk about Bruno then?
K3UL··on Pricing Changes for GitHub Actions
That's clearly the case, this is a three-pronged manoeuver :

- Introducing a cheap 1-core runner

- Lowering the price of GitHub-hosted runners

- Making it slightly more expensive to use self-hosted runners

- There is actually a fourth one: the vnet integration, which also allows you to run public runners in your own infra

As a bonus, for some people it means something that was free is now not free. Those who are willing to pay rather than go, might prefer to use GitHub-hosted if they are going to pay anyway.

This is clearly an incentive to use github-hosted, and their sales reps are also going this way.

K3UL··on Warner Bros Begins Exclusive Deal Talks With Netflix
This is definitely the worst timeline
K3UL··on VLC's Jean-Baptiste Kempf Receives the European SFS Award 2025
I might be wrong but I think the guys at VLC are still very important contributors to ffmpeg, which is still a big deal. They also (kinda recently) developed some really low latency tech for streaming called Kyber So bottomline the player might not be used that much (although on mobile the app is very popular still) but the tech they develop for it, is
K3UL··on Show HN: HUD-like live annotation and sketching app for macOS
Is there any plan for a Windows version ? This is so useful
K3UL··on Show HN: Nestable.dev – local whiteboard app with nestable canvases, deep links
I don't understand how a diagram tool like this doesn't exist yet. I've also had this on my Christmas list for so long, where it would apply for any kind of diagrams or mindmaps
K3UL··on The Pain That Is GitHub Actions
As someone who's been using it at very large scale, I still miss gitlab but I think they are not that bad.

But two major pains I did not see : the atrocious UI and the pricing.

Their pricing model goes against any good practice, as it counts a minute for any job even if it runs for 2 seconds. Let's say you run 100jobs in parallel and they all take 30sec. You will pay 100 minutes instead of 50. Now translate this to an enterprise operating at a big scale and I assure you have seen crazy differences between actual time and billable time.
