I think you’re missing the point. Back then we weren’t overstimulated overall due to constant internet access and smartphones. So reading in the bathroom wasn’t as bad. Back then you used to get a lot of opportunities to have breaks from stimulation, now the ’taking a shit’ break might be a good place to just not have any external inputs and just ponder.

As they say, piracy is the only true ownership.

I have been the lead of a very stressful project that was the highest priority for the company I work for and it was crucial to get this working as it was a hard deadline. I started using AI a lot, but I still read the code and sometimes it was so garbage. I had two developers with me, but they were both kind of new in the domain and one didn’t know the programming language. The project finished and the part my coworkers developed was fundamentally flawed, it worked for ~85% of the cases but not all and caused an incident.

Now I get to work with two of my other friends/colleagues and they are amazing. They don’t use AI at all and so neither do I and it is glorious. It is so nice to build things like this and honestly not meaningfully slower either. It took us some time to figure out all the details, edge cases and all. Writing tests first, I love it!

Great perspective! As a sidenote, I really like json5 for everything that would be needed for a human to read and it has great support everywhere. It fixes so many of JSONs shortcomings like comments.

Edit: forgot the link if anyone’s interested https://json5.org/

I like the idea and even though I would like to have something like this, I still find need for a smartphone for certain things. In Sweden we are basically required to have an identification app (Bank ID) and that app alone can’t even be used unless you have NFC, which for instance an iPad doesn’t so that you could offload to that. Small things like this I run into constantly.

Fortunately I have discipline enough that my smartphone is a glorified dumb phone with a great camera and some other useful apps. Everything else I try to offload to iPad since I am much less often on that device. It also takes a bit of time and effort but focus modes are great too.

So this is how they’ll remove access from Claude Pro to the biggest models. You would need at least a Claude Max subscription for the bigger than Opus models I bet.

I use ghostty and tmux, that makes it really nice to be in th terminal and have access to good TUIs. I use neovim and k9s mostly and those are such amazinng tools, AI stuff sure but that’s because I don’t really have any other choice. I also use lazygit lately but that’s mostly to get familiar and to have a nicer view of commit history than ’git log —graph’. Also I hate electron apps so well made TUIs are a step up compared to running a web browser for one app.

> I do not know how you can do it on a Pro plan with Claude Opus 4.7 which is 7.5x more in terms of limit consumption and any small to medium size codebase would easily consume your limits in just the planning phase up to 50% in a single prompt

I also don’t understand because all I ever hear is people saying $100 Max plan is the minimum for serious work. I made 3-4 plans today, I’m familiar with the codebase and pointed the LLM in the direction where it needed to go. I described the functionality I wanted which wasn’t a huge rewrite, it touched like 4 files of which one was just a module of pydantic models. But one plan was 30% of usage and I had this over two sessions because I got a reset. I did read and understand everything line of code so that part takes me some time to do.

I must be doing something very different from everyone else, but I write what I want and how I want it and Opus 4.7 plans it for me, then I carefully review. Often times I need to validate and check things, sometimes I’ve revised the plan multiple times. Then implementation which I still use Opus for because I get a warning that my current model holds the cache so Sonnet shouldn’t implement. And honestly, I’m mostly within my Pro subscription, granted I also have ChatGPT Plus but I’ve mostly only used that as the chat/quick reference model. But yeah takes some time to read and understand everything, a lot of the time I make manual edits too.

Opus 4.7 was released a week ago, at that point all limits were reset, so this was very beneficial to them because basically everyones weekly limit Was anyway about to be reset.

I have found it very useful in pointing me in the right direction, exploring codebases and writing up boiler plate or other scaffolding. However I do need to review and test, and at the end of the day it’s me who’s responsible for the code. So I only make it write parts of code at a time, not oneshotting a new Github company.

The “retreat” framing is too US-centric. I’m in Sweden and European OEMs aren’t retreating — BMW Neue Klasse just launched, Renault 5 is a hit, Skoda Enyaq/Elroq are everywhere. These are competitive new platforms shipping right now.

And the Iran/Hormuz situation actually strengthens the case for EVs, not weakens it. Swedish electricity is almost entirely hydro, nuclear and wind. When oil spikes, petrol drivers feel it immediately. EV drivers barely notice. Pulling back from electrification right now is doing exactly the wrong thing at the wrong time.

Worth noting something the PR comments are glossing over is that the auth plugin wasn’t actually deleted in this PR, just removed from the default bundle. A third-party plugin doing the same thing is still technically on the table. OpenCode just can’t be the one shipping it anymore. Whether that holds up legally is anyone’s guess, but it’s not a hard wall.

I can’t believe it’s 2026 and while I had a 5K iMac in 2016, today it’s still impossible to find a good 5K display. The Studio Display XDR fits the bill, but in Sweden it’s ridiculously priced, even more ridiculous than in USD which is also ridiculously priced. There are no other monitors that are 5K and 120Hz. But I still can’t pay what Apple is asking for this.

This hits hard, not in my programming work which it also hits but there at least I am sharpening my toolset by reading books, and learning things. This hits the hardest for me training Jiu Jitsu, where I do love the sport but I feel it's so hard to come back to training when I am in such a bad shape. So I say to people that I do Jiu Jitsu, I watch videos, I follow some competitions. Heck I even go with my kids to THEIR training but I only train myself once a month maybe at this rate.

Nothing even mentioned on WezTerm really?

Depends, if you're absolutely sure whatever you have has just two states. Then by all means, use a boolean. But booleans are harder to read than enum values and you're skipping that because of saving a few bytes on the DB?

This is not premature optimization, sometimes booleans can be extremely hard to change so it's not as easy as "just refactor".

Personally no, I use vim keybindings in the terminal not emacs which is the default.

Batteries are the most expensive parts on EVs, they're heavy, require rare-earth metals and they wear out. So not an ideal solution.

Would be pretty cool to have the EV batteries on cars hooked up to the electric infrastructure and handle the offset and also charging them when there is too much power in the grid.

The sun doesn't always shine and the wind doesn't always blow. What is your solution then, burn coal and oil? Nuclear has a great role to fill the gap reliably.

Would be cheaper in the long run maybe but heat, noise, electricity cost and the fact that the models are not as good as sonnet 4 and opus 4 are some things to consider.

I'm not a bot but I regret posting that as my first comment and to be honest I didn't read the article before it was just my thoughts from prior knowledge. I've been on Hacker News for many years but decided a week ago to make an account.

Still you have a good point, one should be skeptical of what is written by bots.

Yeah but they should get lighter ideally and not heavier because the BMW 3 ICE has also gotten unreasonably heavy.

I'm a huge proponent of biking and electric bikes but there is too bad infrastructure, storage, safety concerns etc that are not being addressed properly. For instance I wish I could buy a Cargo bike and use that for grocery shopping and most other transportation of my kids but I don't have room in our bike storage (where I've had two bikes stolen) and I don't have room in our storage room and live in an apartment. The cars parking take up more square meters than the squaremeters of the building or close to it while the bike storage is a fraction of that.

So putting this aside, the elephant in the room is still the weight of the EVs, tire wear is one thing but the roads are also being worn at a much faster rate due to the weight of the cars. When EVs do have to brake and regenerative is not enough it needs to stop more inertia due to this high weight.
