nickandbro··on GPT-5.5
Very impressive! Interesting how all other benchmarks it seems to surpass Opus 4.7 except SWE-Bench Pro (Public). You would think that doing so well at Cyber, it would naturally possess more abilities there. Wonder what makes up the actual difference there

I asked it to make me a xkcd comic:

kinda funny, I guess

nickandbro··on Our eighth generation TPUs: two chips for the agentic era
Reminds me of when hedge funds started laying increasingly shorter fiber-optic cable lines to achieve the lowest possible latency for high-frequency trading.

I am curious what workloads Citadel Securities is running on these TPUs? Are you telling me they need the latest TPUs for market insights?

A lot of people are saying it’s disconnected, but even if it was, if a string of your country’s top rocket experts started disappearing, you wouldn’t just sit idly by

Whenever I read your articles, I get distracted by the space invaders and just play that instead. Maybe this is a problem with me being a bit ADHD, but I feel like I am not the only one

Wow, if the benchmarks checkout with the vibes, this could almost be like a Deepseek moment with Chinese AI now being neck and neck with SOTA US lab made models

Love Hetzner. Cheapest prices in all the land (aside from Hosting your own server) from what I’ve gathered online. Host:

nickandbro··on Show HN: I rebuilt a 2000s browser strategy game on Cloudflare's edge
Very cool, though wouldn't using durable objects for a MMO type game become prohibitively expensive vs using websockets with a stateful server? I assume your game is not sending that many requests so its not too bad.

Yeah working on a smart way to rate limit stale requests for those who don't have accounts.But the final version will allow anybody who is not a bot, to get into a vim instance without logging in. Thanks for the feedback.

I proxy to neovim instances for each level. Still working out some kinks but soon to complete it

nickandbro··on Schedule tasks on the web
I feel like we are just inching closer and closer to a world where rapid iteration of software will be by default. Like for example a trusted user makes feedback -> feedback gets curated into a ticket by an AI agent, then turned into a PR by an Agent, then reviewed by an Agent, before being deployed by an Agent. We are maybe one or two steps from the flywheel being completed. Or maybe we are already there.
nickandbro··on A Eulogy for Vim
Without getting into some of the other things mentioned in the article,

I don't think Vim is going away. Even with all the AI code written, engineers navigate through Claude Code / Codex using Vim (ex: Vim mode in Claude Code).

I really like Vim so much that I've built a gamified way to learn it at https://vimgolf.ai that I am working on completing.

nickandbro··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (March 2026)
very cool
nickandbro··on Ask HN: How to be alone?
First thing is going outside. Staying inside is only going to compound depression and cause days gone by to become a blur. Just doing that is a step in the right direction, bonus points if it involves moving the body.

Second, start writing. Writing can help prevent circular thoughts and force the brain to plan how to change your lifestyle and get you to a life worth living. If you don’t write, it’s very easy to repeat patterns over and over again.

Third, don’t lose hope. Having a positive outlook and a growth mindset is going to help you navigate setback and push through obstacles. It’s easy to resort to a fixed mindset, but the saints are the sinners who keep on trying as they say.

Best of luck!

yep, just double checked used gpt-5.4 xhigh. Though had to select it in codex as don't have access to it on the chatgpt app or web version yet. It's possible that whatever code harness codex uses, messed with it.
