SoKamilon Native all the way, until you need text

The first one is the Claude iOS app uses and it seems to perform okay and has the ability to select text and stream stuff.

SoKamilon Apple, Intel have reached preliminary chip-making deal

This is about FABs and not chip designs. Imagine a parallel universe where Apple was sourcing AMD chips (they actually did for graphic cards) and then went to TSMC to whom AMD is also a customer.

Intel is both at the same time, AMD and TSMC.

SoKamilon Poland is now among the 20 largest economies

SoKamilon Google Cloud fraud defense, the next evolution of reCAPTCHA

Google clearly wants only Google approved models to traverse the web.

SoKamilon iOS 27 is adding a 'Create a Pass' button to Apple Wallet

Having boarding passes in Wallet which also update real time is so nice. Same thing with other tickets for events.

SoKamilon Refusal in Language Models Is Mediated by a Single Direction

No wonder this data is in LibGen.

SoKamilon Opus 4.7 knows the real Kelsey

That’s not feasible. Apparently only SOTA models present this behavior. Having cutoff date at paper publication significantly hinders its capabilities. Besides that, try to convince anyone to spend millions upon millions of dollars to train a model with primary goal of possibly being able to deanonymize one person.

SoKamilon Opus 4.7 knows the real Kelsey

Luckily for Nakamoto, there have been so many attempts at deanonymizing that I bet prediction is too contaminated with noise.

SoKamilon Ghostty is leaving GitHub

What? React has nothing to do with current state of affairs. In fact, React on GitHub currently exists in mere islands, i.e. in Projects and recently in Pull Requests. Most of the frontend is still Web Components[1] paired with Turbo[2] for hot reloading. GitHub is still as slow even with JavaScript disabled, try it yourself. Backend just serves stuff really slow. In fact, there is an alternative GitHub frontend (no affiliation) that feels snappier and is written in React.[3]

With that said, Mitchell complains about outages. These started directly after Microsoft acquisition[4] and are attributed to migration from AWS to Azure.

SoKamilon Warp is now open-source

Can I use it now without logging in?

SoKamilon Changes in the system prompt between Claude Opus 4.6 and 4.7

New knowledge cutoff date means this is a new foundation model?

SoKamilon NASA Shuts Off Instrument on Voyager 1 to Keep Spacecraft Operating

I’m doing mobile app development, it is about how much it takes to get submission approved and get significant amount of users.

SoKamilon Claude Opus 4.7

> Usually a ground up rebuild is related to a bigger announcement. So, it's weird that they'd be naming it 4.7.

Benchmarks say it all. Gains over previous model are too small to announce it as a major release. That would be humiliating for Anthropic. It may scare investors that the curve flattened and there are only diminishing returns.

SoKamilon How We Broke Top AI Agent Benchmarks: And What Comes Next

The more research on this topic is created, the more knowledge how to game them will be stored in future training data. And since it comes from university, it is ranked higher in data corpus. It sounds like a self fulfilling prophecy.

SoKamilon Show HN: Dull – Instagram Without Reels, YouTube Without Shorts (iOS)

But this is a web wrapper, same experience but in a container with no further customization allowed

SoKamilon Show HN: Dull – Instagram Without Reels, YouTube Without Shorts (iOS)

This could have been Safari Extension

SoKamilon Axios compromised on NPM – Malicious versions drop remote access trojan

No ads. No upselling. Being able to completely ignore Microsoft account and install offline. No telemetry if that’s what user decides, no opt-in - single dialog during installation. No dark patterns. That’s what people want.

SoKamilon Show HN: Will my flight have Starlink?

> I’m not sure why SpaceX is doing this

One word: marketing.

SoKamilon Show HN: GitClassic.com, a fast, lightweight GitHub thin client (pages <14KB)

I miss those Bootstrap era clearly distinct buttons with subtle gradient and a border.

SoKamilon Apple's MacBook Neo makes repairs easier and cheaper than other MacBooks

But no adhesive under the battery. That’s huge.

SoKamilon Don't post generated/AI-edited comments. HN is for conversation between humans.

And that’s their problem.

SoKamilon Don't post generated/AI-edited comments. HN is for conversation between humans

Don’t be afraid to make grammar mistakes or misspell stuff. Others will understand. You’re a human after all. That’s okay to make mistakes and feel uncomfortable with that.

SoKamilon The window chrome of our discontent

Since Big Sur redesign, light mode on macOS is borderline unusable.

I need contrast in order to differentiate content. I need contrast on buttons to know where to click and what is clickable. I don’t need to depend on muscle memory. On Catalina it was automatic. Chrome in moderation is not bad.

SoKamilon Grammarly is offering ‘expert’ AI reviews from famous dead and living writers

Authority washing.

SoKamilon If AI has a bright future, why does AI think it doesn't?

a) LLM’s don’t have introspection capabilities

b) in my observation, the longer context window, the more unhinged/pessimistic LLM output becomes

SoKamilon Cloudflare outage on February 20, 2026

What is your opinion on the recent Cloudflare outages?

SoKamilon Gemini 3.1 Pro

It seems they trained the model to output good svg’s.

In their blog post[1], first use case they mention is svg generation. Thus, it might not be any indicator at all anymore.
