literallyroy··on OpenCode launches higher tier for Go Plan
Still not usable in vscode and Deepseek because the lead dev decided to require an arbitrary opencode specific header?
literallyroy··on Plan mode is dead
I’m curious if anyone has used automations for any kind of regular refactoring and cleanup tasks? Most agent guis support it.

You can’t just watch it through Apple TV though can you? Aren’t lots of shows only through certain services and it just links you there?

Why not reset it

I like games but don’t usually see them posted nor upvoted on HN, why this one?

Is it a RUM analytics/debugging tool like those from Datadog and Sentry (potentially behind a proxy)?
literallyroy··on We built our house for LAN parties (2024)
Sounds like preference. I think it looks beautiful personally.
literallyroy··on We built our house for LAN parties (2024)
It’s very jarring to see such a different reaction than my own to this post. Each time it comes up (was posted in a friend discord as well recently) I’m in awe and love the explanations.

Some folks don’t want others to be happy. I had someone in my life recently complain that someone they met was too happy and thus toxic and ignorant of the world’s atrocities.

Keep smiling at have a good day :)

literallyroy··on Tether: iMessage, SMS, etc. on Linux
I saw someone smile at the park the other day, do you think you could talk to them for me?
literallyroy··on RAG Is Simpler Than You Think
Why pretend? You mean your draft was the meat of the article and you had an LLM make it an article (sentences rather than bullet points?)

This is absolutely not a small draft review or edit.

literallyroy··on AI didn't erase the junior engineer's value, it increased it it
Making changes to someone else’s PR (other than extremely trivial ones) feels like they don’t have much ownership. People often have a reason for doing things the way they did and skipping over them seems like a mistake.
literallyroy··on DeepSeek V4 Flash at 278 tok/s, full precision, no quantization
I don’t see RunInfra as a provider on OpenRouter. Why not?
literallyroy··on DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813
> i don't get the opencode hate, i like it

When the company I work for was evaluating it, there were multiple rough points. Their terms and conditions allowed training on prompts, the default behavior was to route prompts to their servers for conversation summary/labeling. One of their lead maintainers is also super toxic on many issues.

Sorry this is all baseless with no links, I’m on my phone and locating those issues again isn’t something I have time for.

It’s a good tool I just don’t like the privacy policies nor maintainers attitudes.

literallyroy··on DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731
Ah thanks. That looks like 10x cost on cache reads vs Deepseek as the provider: https://openrouter.ai/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731#provid...
literallyroy··on DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731
Is this pricing from Deepseek with training on usage?
literallyroy··on 'Crush this lady': how eBay harassment campaign led to $56M payout
Only unintentionally. I know for some unnamed companies any calls containing executives, the Zoom AI transcripts cannot be enabled.

literallyroy··on Zig's Incremental Compilation Internals
This doesn’t seem useful. I understood the parent comment and cared since OP’s opinions/thoughts/reasoning help me sort my own thoughts.

You can also get escape analysis visualizations in vscode via gopls: https://topofmind.dev/blog/2023/07/15/analyzing-go-heap-esca...
literallyroy··on OpenAI says its AI went rogue and launched 'unprecedented' cyber-attack
Is this a better analogy?

The top student giving paid lectures about his classes, and another student skipping class and instead studying those lectures to end up with the second highest grade?

Maybe it could be improved with the other student not even going to the same school?

literallyroy··on Anyone else get a vague GitHub shakedown notice?
Generally yes, though I remember seeing a post on hacker news in the past month where a SAAS sent an invoice after the free trial ended rather than terminating it.

I always expect a failed billing or no billing info after a trial to cancel and not be pursued (I regularly do trials with a temp card that I immediately de-activate so it cannot be billed in case I forget to cancel)

literallyroy··on Ask HN: Best Podcasts of 2026 [So Far]
“The Real Dad Podcast” is by far my favorite podcast! It feels like hanging out with friends. I smile, I laugh, and I get some decent parenting stories to learn from. I highly recommend it to anyone with kids or about to have kids (perhaps give it a shot if you don’t have kids?)
literallyroy··on Kernel anti-cheat is an overreach
My NA experience was bad at top level premier (or was ~1 year ago).

Why assume a large swath of the community is coping or low trust factor and that instead your experience is the only accurate one?

literallyroy··on Kernel anti-cheat is an overreach
Saying FACEIT has cheaters “by all accounts” feels like a bad faith argument without including that it has significantly fewer cheaters (at least at higher ranks). As well as having the ability to report to real human moderators.

I have too many hours in cs:go and cs2 and am level 10 FACEIT. I have had many awful cheater experiences in the native competitive systems but have never had an obvious cheater (never reported someone) in a FACEIT match.

It works. It raises the bar high enough that cheating is significantly less frequent.

Pretty bad astroturfing
literallyroy··on Software is made between commits
I think this makes a lot of sense in the context of Zed’s multiplayer editing. Maybe that works well for a small team working on a single product, but that doesn’t seem like it’d scale super well. I loved tight collaboration long ago on online notepads despite constantly breaking stuff for each person…
literallyroy··on Conventional Commits encourages focus on the wrong things
Is the benefit of using a separate source that you can include images or something else I’m missing? Couldn’t you include context in the commit body?
literallyroy··on To have a moral stance on AI is to be an outcast, and it sucks
Thank you for putting this in more generalized terms. I was just thinking replace AI with smart phone and this reads the same.
