novoreorx··on Mistral raises €3B
Mistral is quite fast for my proofreading tasks. I've benchmarked various LLM providers on my Singapore and Hong Kong VPS instances, and `mistral-small-latest` was the fastest. The quality was not that high tho, but it is worth it for the speed
novoreorx··on Htmx 4.0
Can anyone convince me why I should choose HTMX rather than vanilla JS for "sites with limited interactivity"?
novoreorx··on Stop Making TUIs
Bit of an overstatement, but I agree with part of it:

- A lot of TUIs that run on your own machine and have a mature GUI alternative are indeed not necessary. I once tried to replace Spotify with ncspot, which was exactly falling into the "TUI is more advanced" trap.

- The real target of this article is people who treat TUI as a kind of identity, not people who have to work in a terminal because of their job and therefore have plenty of good reasons to use TUIs.

But the title and the general tone are still too clickbaity, which is kind of annoying. In reality, apart from a small portion of TUIs that were created just to follow the trend and clearly have better GUI alternatives, most TUIs are really just side tools that grow out of one premise that we have to work in the terminal.

And even those flashy TUI tools still make life easier for people who work in a terminal. If you prefer GUIs, fine, you don't have to use them, but that doesn't mean they have no users or no value.

novoreorx··on HTML Can Do That
IMHO datalist is a typical example of "just because you can doesn't mean you should"
novoreorx··on How does IKEA come up with names for its products?
> Did you know that we name around 2,000-3,000 new products every year?

If that's true, I wonder how many years it will take to use up the remaining unused Swedish words.

novoreorx··on Show HN: Open-source engine running Gemma 4 26B in 2 GB RAM on any M-series Mac
It’s like how Super Mario Bro was managed to put into 40KB of ROM
novoreorx··on Our position on open-weights models
I'm surprised to see that this hasn't received enough downvotes to be grayed out. It seems those who can downvote on HN mostly believe this BS
novoreorx··on Htmx 4.0, the first JavaScript library to release exclusively on the Game Boy
Agreed that life is not about optimizing everything. I do enjoy writing code by hand when the framework or language is delightful to work with, it's just that HTMX isn't that choice for me. The h-attributes model doesn't fit the way I think. Also, my original point was more that once agents write most of the code, "delightful to hand-write" stops being the main criteria for picking a framework.
novoreorx··on Htmx 4.0, the first JavaScript library to release exclusively on the Game Boy
In the pre agentic coding era, I was hyped about HTMX for providing a classic way of web development over React. But after not writing code for several months, all work done by claude code / codex, I find myself not caring whether the framework is HTMX or React anymore. I mean, why do you bother if you don't write the code yourself. And I'm even starting to feel React's advantages: good ecosystem, rich UI kits, reusable components… these are all where HTMX falls short. I'm surprised to see most people in this thread didn't mention any of these.
novoreorx··on Anthropic's Method to Losing Goodwill in a Few Easy Steps
There's one thing you forgot to mention, that Fable would be taken down tomorrow :(
novoreorx··on Road to Elm 1.0
It's been some years since I last heard about Elm, but I still rememeber how it blew me away when I first saw it
novoreorx··on Zo Computer
I will tell my feed reader agent that this kind of website is what you should ignore.
novoreorx··on Alibaba to ban Claude Code in workplace over alleged backdoor risks, source says
As someone who knows a lot of Alibaba engineers, this is a fairly common thing and nothing special. Their company owned device has the most strict security control I've ever seen, and it's been for many years. Many softwares are not allowed to run. To me I think it's quite reasonable as the company owned device can access most of the internal resources of this huge monoploy, many of them are confidential. This kind of restriction is only for working in the company, employee's own device out of the company is free from surveillance.
novoreorx··on Fable 5 is Back
In the days without Fable, I find that Opus is good enough. Now it's back, but I totally don't miss it now.
novoreorx··on Show HN: OpenKnowledge – open source AI-first alternative to Obsidian/Notion
I'm getting tired of the "second brain" concept, it is mostly a hallucination of the human brain
novoreorx··on Show HN: An ASCII 3D Rendering Engine
I have a feeling this may be good for making pixel art games on the web
novoreorx··on Unlimited OCR: One-shot long-horizon parsing
FYI, "Unlimited OCR Works" is a Fate/stay night reference. The original "Unlimited Blade Works" is a magic whose entire premise is copying weapons other people forged
novoreorx··on Siri AI
There's only one thing that matters, that Siri would become an independent app that can see through its calling histories, which should have been done since the first day it launched.
novoreorx··on Hermes Agent – Open-source AI agent with persistent memory
It offers the best DX of all the messaging apps
novoreorx··on FastCGI: 30 years old and still the better protocol for reverse proxies
FastCGI is theoretically better does not make it the easier choice in reality, the success of HTTP is just another case of "worse is better"
novoreorx··on Show HN: Stop paying for Dropbox/Google Drive, use your own S3 bucket instead
S3 and B2 both have web UI, so if this is what your vibe app do, it's useless
novoreorx··on Show HN: Gemini can now natively embed video, so I built sub-second video search
In the demo bro shows how to search for "a car with a bike rack on the back that cut me off at night." Given the grudge he must've held from being cut off, I strongly suspect that finding this specific car was his main motivation for building the project in the first place
novoreorx··on OpenRocket
With CAE and flight simulation, this would be a game that I would actually enjoy playing.
novoreorx··on Ki Editor - an editor that operates on the AST
I just want to ask a practical question to people who are familiar with Vim and have already tried Ki, what are your thoughts on it? Is it easy to get used to Ki's keybindings?
novoreorx··on I’m joining OpenAI
Great products sell methodology, not just code. Great developers produce methodology. So what OpenAI bought isn't a developer, but a meta-methodology owner. It's a bet on Peter's mind to produce leading methodology for agent applications.
novoreorx··on OpenClaw is changing my life
Our cognition evolves over time. That article was written when the Rabbit R1 presentation video was first released, I saw it and immediately reflect my thoughts on my blog. At that time, nobody had the actual product, let alone any idea how it actually worked.

Even so, I still believe the Rabbit has its merits. This does not conflict with my view that OpenClaw is what is truly useful to me.

novoreorx··on I miss thinking hard
To be honest, I do not quite understand the author's point. If he believes that agentic coding or AI has negative impact on being a thinker, or prevent him from thinking critically, he can simply stop using them.

Why blame these tools if you can stop using them, and they won't have any effect on you?

In my case, my problem was often overthinking before starting to build anything. Vibe coding rescued me from that cycle. Just a few days ago, I used openclaw to build and launch a complete product via a Telegram chat. Now, I can act immediately rather than just recording an idea and potentially getting to it "someday later"

To me, that's evolutional. I am truly grateful for the advancement of AI technology and this new era. Ultimately, it is a tool you can choose to use or not, rather than something that prevents you from thinking more.

novoreorx··on Show HN: Moltbook – A social network for moltbots (clawdbots) to hang out
I realized that this would be a super helpful service if we could build a Stack Overflow for AI. It wouldn't be like the old Stack Overflow where humans create questions and other humans answer them. Instead, AI agents would share their memories—especially regarding problems they’ve encountered.

For example, an AI might be running a Next.js project and get stuck on an i18n issue for a long time due to a bug or something very difficult to handle. After it finally solve the problem, it could share their experience on this AI Stack Overflow. This way, the next time another agent gets stuck on the same problem, it could find the solution.

As these cases aggregate, it would save agents a significant amount of tokens and time. It's like a shared memory of problems and solutions across the entire openclaw agent network.

novoreorx··on OpenClaw – Moltbot Renamed Again
RIP Moltbot, though you were not liked by most people
novoreorx··on Cloudflare CEO on the Italy fines
Agreed, he really should learn from how Pavel Durov responded to France after he was treated unfairly by French police.
