Thanks man for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed it!
nickandbro··on GPT-6 Sol and Luna
Pricing is insane, can have Luna going after a goal for 10 days and not run into maxing out the limits.
nickandbro··on Claude Opus 5.5
Wow! Though need to see its token efficiency to better assess. Been hearing rumors it generates much more output tokens per task.
nickandbro··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2026)
Have been working on my game:

https://slitherworld.com

Still need to polish it up, but it’s been coming along. I just added a battle royale mode. Items and the backend server side needs work.

nickandbro··on GUIs should be fully keyboard-driven
I agree completely and that’s exactly what I did for my site:

https://vimgolf.ai

nickandbro··on The entire city of San Francisco as a video game
Crazy how they have GTA San Francisco before GTA 6
nickandbro··on SparrowMap – Cameras that watch government vehicles
Nvm, just clicked on the link and took me to the GitHub. I guess that’s what I get from skimming the website.

Are the .exe to install a always on computer as part of a open source repo I can verify with a hash? Otherwise I am not going to trust it.
nickandbro··on Gemini 3.7 Flash
Agreed
nickandbro··on Gemini 3.7 Flash
This is genuinely a competitive model, considering it beats Claude Sonnet 5 on almost all benchmarks and is more than half its price. Seems like Google is back in the game, though not leading the frontier anymore.
nickandbro··on DeepSeek-V4-Flash Update
Can you post the link to the leaked interview? From what I understand he has been pretty tight lipped for a guy who has a larger stake worth more in his company than Dario does in Anthropic.
nickandbro··on DeepSeek-V4-Flash Update
That's a good point. Yeah their caching input is insane.
nickandbro··on DeepSeek-V4-Flash Update
I wouldn't doubt GPT 4.6 Luna being in the top left quadrant's center on the Cost per Intelligence Index is not concerning for Liang Wenfeng. You have to remember DeepSeek v4 flash even though a bit cheaper, does not have vision abilities, which is a big draw for agentic tasks.

I admire DeepSeek's openness, but even they have been raising prices after their discounts.

Thanks for trying!

I don’t know I feel pretty crazy having created this all to make learning vim easier. Not all Vim users are like me. Why don’t you try it out?
nickandbro··on Show HN: Vimgolf.ai – Learn Vim by playing through a map of levels
6 months of access to current and updated version from purchase date. But considering making it lifetime if there’s popular demand for it via feedback.
nickandbro··on Show HN: Vimgolf.ai – Learn Vim by playing through a map of levels
Brilliant, I’ll add that today
nickandbro··on Show HN: Vimgolf.ai – Learn Vim by playing through a map of levels
I’ll look into making it more user intuitive. I tried in a way through the gifs, but I could find other ways to help guide the user more.

My app is actually cheaper than vim-adventures or other popular paid Vim learning sites. If you are against using my app, I encourage you to use vimtutor. A great free way to learn Vim.
nickandbro··on Show HN: Vimgolf.ai – Learn Vim by playing through a map of levels
Vimgolf.com is another great way to learn Vim. I created Vimgolf.ai mainly to challenge users by comparing their score against bot entries.
nickandbro··on Show HN: Vimgolf.ai – Learn Vim by playing through a map of levels
Hmm, I’ll look into the CPU processing performance. Maybe it’s the menu animations? And yes vimtutor continues to be a great resource that Braam made. I mainly made this app to gamify learning the vim skills.

Thank you so much for your feedback!
nickandbro··on Show HN: Vimgolf.ai – Learn Vim by playing through a map of levels
Thank you, investigating this
nickandbro··on Show HN: Vimgolf.ai – Learn Vim by playing through a map of levels
I’ll look into it! Definitely worth pursuing

Thanks for the feedback! What browser are you using? Sometimes the containers also don’t work properly with certain VPNs.
nickandbro··on Unitree As2-W
Very cool tech, but don’t want one of these things coming after me
nickandbro··on Codex Resets
Great now what about one for Claude Code?
nickandbro··on Inkling: Our Open-Weights Model
Lol slither.io is the new benchmark now? I guess my game slitherworld.com is now something that can be vibecoded too
nickandbro··on Ask HN: Add flag for AI-generated articles
Even if you did, how would you even enforce it? Say it was a pure text article, do you count the number of em dashes? Even AI detection scanners purpose built for this are extremely faulty.
nickandbro··on Show HN: Reviving my 2001 college band with AI
The originals are way better. The AI songs I can tell have a ghost in the shell. It’s like whatever uniqueness of the original was polished out.
