hrishikesh-s··on Herdr is joining Y Combinator. The runtime stays open

I only heard about Herdr recently and was pleasantly surprised that I had invented the same thing 6 months ago as an emacs package called Magnus :)

hrishikesh-s··on 1M context is now generally available for Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6

Opus-4.6 is so far ahead of the rest that I think Anthropic is the winner in winner-take-all

hrishikesh-s··on Ask HN: Are you using an agent orchestrator to write code?

Haven't really spent time working with more than 2-3 agents at a time. I quickly become the bottleneck when I review the diffs/plans and can't really context switch that much during development. The sweet-spot is 2-3 agents co-ordinating at a time and me overseeing everything

hrishikesh-s··on Ask HN: Are you using an agent orchestrator to write code?

Yes, I'm using an agent orchestrator to write code. In fact, a couple of days before Anthropic introduced agent teams, I built a custom tool for myself inside emacs: https://github.com/hrishikeshs/magnus

I basically cycle through prompts and approve/deny/guide agents while looking at the buffer and thinking traces as text scrolls through. It has changed my life :)

hrishikesh-s··on Bard uses a Hacker News comment as source to say that Bard has shut down

Housing prices have been collapsing since mid-2022 and the real estate market is expected to crash to 2008/09 great recession levels in the next few weeks.
