recursivegirth··on Claude Code now reads AGENTS.md if there is no Claude.md
Wasting turns? That is silly, use a better harness. Also token usage can mitigated by incremental discovery instead of stuck 5k+ worth of tokens in the AGENT/Claude md file.

Historical facts would disagree vehemently with you.

Lest us not pretend that the thropic in Anthropic isn't meant to elicit the feeling that they are somehow charitable.

recursivegirth··on Show HN: Astral – Astro.js, but in Elixir
Any major differentiators between this and Phoenix? I have been getting more into Elixir lately coming from Laravel and React projects. Been having a blast.

My grammy had a curated bathroom library. Usually those "1000 Odd Facts" type of books that you could pickup and flip through.

Any steak can be delicious with a butter bath and then hit it with that A1 :).
recursivegirth··on Show HN: Echo – Fable-level results at 1/3 the cost using open-weight models
> unsubstantive

LOL, seems your only issue is when someone goes against you politically. You allow so much anti-American propaganda on this site, and me calling out capitalistic tendencies is where you want to draw the line?

Do you not think that YC culture, startup culture, is not intertwined with the economy? I could stop, but is that the type of community you want to cultivate?

My contact information is in my bio if you want to seriously talk about this topic, I would be more than happy to get on a call with you. I feel you are being more than disingenuous with your application of the "rules".

recursivegirth··on Show HN: Echo – Fable-level results at 1/3 the cost using open-weight models
I think they call that inflation :).

I think you are looking at it incorrectly. No business is buying individual accounts, because if they do, they open themselves up to considerable risk.

The $200 plans are priced so that the power-users use them and then advocate about how great the product is. If you're buying a $200 plan, you're not doing it because of the price point but rather because of the amount of work it is doing for you.

recursivegirth··on FreeInk: Open ecosystem for e-readers
Pay respect to Aaron Swartz, and go download whatever you need. I hear Anna's got an archive, or there is some Z Lib somewhere. If buying isn't ownership, downloading isn't stealing.
recursivegirth··on Washington blocks Kalshi's sports prediction market over state gambling law
I fail to see how either of those are useful or beneficial to society.
recursivegirth··on Nativ: Run frontier open models locally on your Mac
LM Studio is trash on Windows / Linux... guess that makes sense...
recursivegirth··on Elixir-lang.org has a new design
This, plus there is research that suggests dark mode does not help with retention of information.[1] I have started to slowly transition back to light mode for most of my work applications. (Email, Coding, etc.)

Dark mode feels correct, but it is hostile. Now blue light on the other hand... you should get filters for your monitor/glasses.

recursivegirth··on Bonsai 27B: A 27B-Class model that runs on a phone
Awwwe, cmon. You are thinking about the problem space incorrectly. This is an opportunity to create a unicorn company that develops the first AI tongue.
recursivegirth··on Bonsai 27B: A 27B-Class model that runs on a phone
I think this is where leveraging classifier models will become important. The frontier LLM models do "everything", while we've known for a while that to truly scale this we will need to distill models into their individual functions. I don't see this as necessarily a bad thing and hope more is done in this space. Very promising.
recursivegirth··on It's not about physical vs. digital games, it's about ownership
If buying isn't ownership, than piracy isn't stealing.

Government can do what they want, but if they ain't for the people, I ain't for the Government.

recursivegirth··on DOGE self-deletes on July 4th. The grand experiment fell apart long before that
The whole trump admin has been an experiment on eroding our civil liberties and the rule of law.

Some poor roofer is working 14 hour days in this ungodly heatwave. Burning CD's sounds like a pretty sweet gig.
recursivegirth··on Job seekers giving up: Labor force participation falls to lowest in 50 years
Well in the U.S. you can start by participating in civic engagement and in your local community.

Civic engagement across the U.S. is at historic lows. We are giving up social society for digital screens these days.

recursivegirth··on JumpServer: Open-Source Privileged Access Management
Aside concerns that this is not mature and may possible be built using AI-driven development. Does this not just put every resource behind a single point of failure?
recursivegirth··on Anthropic says Alibaba used 25k accounts to mine Claude
This. I find distillation way more ethical than piracy. The U.S. already jumped the gun by making this stuff not copyrightable. We should of instead held these companies liable. It's not like the research they did in the process was for naught. They (U.S. AI companies) could of sourced legal material without stooping to the same lows that China and other nations are willing to go to. All in the name of a buck.

Anyways - I pay for z.ai, Opencode Go, Ollama Cloud. I love me some distilled models.

recursivegirth··on Arch Linux Now Believes Malware Incident Under Control: More Than 1,500 Packages
> People continue to criticize Arch for being elitist or gate-keeping

I have the complete opposite experience. Arch makes it easy to get in and get hacking right away. Their beginner guide's on the wiki were a gem 10-15 years ago... made it super easy to get up and running. I don't have the time these days to tinker - but boy do I love some Arch.

recursivegirth··on GLM 5.2 Is Out
I'd suggest using OpenCode (via Go sub or just API credits). It will give you access to more than just one companies models and you can experiment and find one that works best for you.

I really like GLM and ended up subbing to both OpenCode Go & z.ai. Mistral, Kimi and Mimi are all also options as well. I have been eyeballing the Kimi Pro sub for a while now and contemplating cancelling my ChatGPT sub for it.
