KernelPryanic··on Datapages v0.10.0 Beta Release
I like that - "You can literally wipe 2/3 of the code base and recreate it idempotently and deterministically...", I like the idea of having an easily recyclable code, especially nowadays. Okay, so I see how it can contribute to more efficient agentic workflows. I'll give it a try. Thanks for the answers!
KernelPryanic··on Datapages v0.10.0 Beta Release
I see, thanks, but how exactly can it help agents to use Datastar better? If it's a superset on Datastar, isn't it just another set of rules an agent needs to learn?
KernelPryanic··on Datapages v0.10.0 Beta Release
I've been using Datastar a bit and I really liked it. How is this better than the vanilla Datastar? Like can you name a couple core features that can make me use it? Also Go is not very framework oriented...
KernelPryanic··on Enjoy the Bubble While It Lasts: The Secret Behind Your AI Bill
Thanks romshark for publishing my post here :) I'm the original writer so I'll try to answer this question from my perspective.

Agree, price and cost do come apart, and chat and API are quite different products with different dynamics. That's why the piece also uses a serving-cost estimate rather than raw API list price - the real number sits somewhere between the SemiAnalysis figure and hosting-cost estimates, and it's still 10x-plus what we pay for a subscription, depending on usage of course. Usage is where it gets more concrete, margins reportedly go underwater past roughly 11% of the plan limit, and around 5.7% on the top tier. So it's only a subsidy for the people actually hammering it.

KernelPryanic··on Jobs and Software Is Fucked
I’ve 12 years of official experience and it took me 8 months to find a job. I’ve been also writing about huge problems in the western Europe IT job market - hiring has almost plateaued here. So the trick was to search for a job in the eastern Europe, moving soon.

KernelPryanic··on Are tech companies even hiring?
Quality of generated code is honestly trash, Claude can build you a thing that will work somehow, but under the hood is unmaintainable, entangled, dirty, full of workarounds code :) You need to spend a lot of time controlling every its move to achieve decent code quality.
KernelPryanic··on Are tech companies even hiring?
Hmm, interesting, maybe I should look into the UK market then... Because I often see open positions in the UK segment on the company job boards, just didn't know if it's mostly fake ones as in NL and FR.
KernelPryanic··on Are tech companies even hiring?
Yes, I have such thoughts. I'm building something constantly, have a history of attempting different projects, some of them got into startups fueled purely by passion and lasted for years, but didn't attract investments. Currently I'm working on MASS - Modular AI Scheduling System, basically it's a scheduler and package manager for AI-native applications/services. As I see a huge part of future AI as dedicated small fine-tuned models, local to user and on-site programs and services. But it's another story :)
KernelPryanic··on Are tech companies even hiring?
Yeah, by all signs this is how hiring works (or actually doesn't work) right now. I have info from Datadog (France) that they don't hire anybody right now despite lots of openings on their career board. And yeah, originally I'm from Russia, though in EU for almost 8 years by now...
KernelPryanic··on Vitamin D and Omega-3 have a larger effect on depression than antidepressants
I’ve been taking them when I was in hell, for abotut half a year, you know what? I think they didn’t help me a bit. But Mirtazapine did.
KernelPryanic··on Ask HN: Is there a developer laptop that does not suck and is not a Mac in 2022?
Agree. Few years ago I asked my employer to change Mac for something else and I got the 7th gen (Intel 8th gen processor) X1 Carbon, I fall in love and now I bought the latest 10th gen model (Intel 12th gen) and I very much like it. Super light and silent, great keyboard and also I like the touchpad on the latest model, it become even better. Build quality is the best, hinges are balanced very well that when you shake the laptop screen doesn’t move a bit but you can still open it with one hand. From the cons - it’s hot comparing to the 7th gen and also the battery life is slightly lower.
KernelPryanic··on I want an iPhone Mini-sized Android phone
Yes, yes, yes!
KernelPryanic··on Ask HN: Is it unprofessional to leave a new job where everything is a mess?
Ofcourse no, why do you even think this way? If the job burned you out in a couple of months you shouldn’t even questioning it.
KernelPryanic··on EU plans to force OEMs to use a common charger for all phones
That’s a good move
KernelPryanic··on Ask HN: I joined a FAANG and it is awful
Just quit and don’t torture yourself
