synergy20··on Ubuntu 26.10 completes transition to Rust-based coreutils
one more reason back to Debian
synergy20··on Shopify moves back to Native from React Native
maybe gtk4 gui first then ask llm to recreate them natively on windows and macos
synergy20··on Shopify is moving from React Native back to Swift and Kotlin
wow, what about electron.js the bloated cross-desktop GUI, can LLM either totally modernize wxWidgets(to avoid Qt's license mess), or create some light-weight cross platform GUI widgets to make GUI easy on windows/macos/linux that is not resource heavy?
synergy20··on Ask HN: How do you manage skills files?
observing changes is slow and very subjective. i ask ai itself to update skill once a while
synergy20··on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1
claudism really sucks, Gemini and codex output so much better, way more like a real human being.
synergy20··on Maiao: Gerrit-style code review workflow for GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, others
dumb question,why this and even gerrit? github or gitea PR seems much simpler and get the job done well these days
synergy20··on GPT-5.6 Sol Pricing Cut by 50%
indeed, I'm switching from claude to codex
synergy20··on Qwen 3.8 27B
I wish this can run directly on my RTX 4090, seems like 30B is the sweet spot for dense model to run locally, sadly RTX 5090 is very expensive and I need a new PC and new power supply(and UPS) to run that, adding a second RTX 4090 is another option, but not sure if my PC can do that yet.
synergy20··on Why does Opus 5 feel worse to work with?
i am switching to codex, opus 5 failed me
synergy20··on Flutter 3.47
great for mobile apps, fine for desktops, basically unusable for browsers unless you do wasm, if web can be revamped/improved it can be the best option for cross platform GUI
synergy20··on Grok 4.6
define criminal activities, is censorship criminal here,are you doing it
synergy20··on llama.cpp
true, switched from ollama to llama.cpp these days and it's good. wonder if this is also the best option for edge ai deployment(currently use it on desktop)
synergy20··on Go is an ideal language for AI-assisted software engineering
all my LLM coding is in go these days
synergy20··on Nvidia's Risky Business
that undercuts their core business, so it will be a defensive play at most to fend off mac and amd's local inference offerings
synergy20··on What's the best programming language for coding agents?
anecdotal: golang, with c or simplified modern c++
synergy20··on A $500 RL fine-tune of a 9B open model beat frontier models on catalog review
unsloth for small use cases, tinker for enterprise level use cases?
synergy20··on A $500 RL fine-tune of a 9B open model beat frontier models on catalog review
what are those cheap fine-tuning services these days?
synergy20··on Show HN: CheapSecurity – Lightweight, Self-Hosted CCTV for Linux SBCs

    V4L2 (MJPG) -> cap.read() -> CLAHE(night) -> imencode -> _current_frame (web MJPEG)
                              -> resize .25 -> gray -> blur -> absdiff -> contours -> motion?
                              -> motion? VideoWriter.write() : pre_buffer.append(jpeg)
                              -> on stop: ffmpeg remux fps fix -> Telegram/email
a mjpeg system basically, all in python but does need opencv
synergy20··on Qwen 3.8
you probably are overly sensitive and biased, do not forget transformer is the only 'original' for AI so far, the 'original aspirations' nowadays are just incremental improvements. human rights are not rubbish by the way, you might earn high salary now, dare to criticize Mr.Xi at all? you could be in jail and lose everything overnight. without human rights, tech is fragile and mostly harmful in the end.
synergy20··on SpaceX stock drops to a new low and loses $1T in value in a month
morningstar said the fair price is $62
synergy20··on SQLite should have (Rust-style) editions
it's widespread in rewriting CLI tools, so it's terminal
synergy20··on Interview with Mitchell Hashimoto about Ghostty and Zig
The "Rust Evangelism Strike Force" is so annoying and it becomes the major reason I don't want to have anything to do with the language, yes I know it's strange.

Almost all HN software related discussion will have some Rust folks saying 'yeah I have a rust project for that', or 'just write this in rust and it will be better', so annoying after seeing those each time, it's like the house-window sales guy keeps knocking my door every day and never goes away.

synergy20··on Professor denounces mass AI fraud on an exam at Brown
there are quite a few companies are developing 'proctoring' system to defeat the cheat so you can take self-exam in realtime and everything will be recorded and anything suspicious will be reported, that should be a must-have these days unless something better come out? or current products are not doing their jobs well?
synergy20··on GLM 5.2 beats Claude in our benchmarks
but, it's $160/month(unless you buy a one-year plan that gets cheaper), not too far from $200/month from claude and codex? why should I switch?
synergy20··on You already have a Git server
or use git-shell so users do not need a full ssh account on the server due to security concerns:

    which git-shell
    sudo echo "/usr/bin/git-shell" >> /etc/shells
    sudo useradd -m -s /usr/bin/git-shell git
    cat my_pub_key.pub >> /home/git/.ssh/authorized_keys
    git clone ssh://git@server/home/git/myrepo.git
synergy20··on GrapheneOS has been ported to Android 17
hold on, are you saying graphenos has no ads everywhere? I need swap it in then
synergy20··on MicroUI – A tiny, portable, immediate-mode UI library written in ANSI C
how is this different from lvgl? is this immediate mode or retained mode?
synergy20··on I indexed 669 GB of my GoPro videos using my M1 Max computer and local ML models
can vlm be used instead or it's too heavy and slow
synergy20··on Not everyone is using AI for everything
still 10x better than the 'finish this leetcode tweak algorithm in 20 minutes and tell me your thought process along the way, and yes you will never need that skill in the real job but we need find out who had time to cram for the algorithm books in the last few months'
synergy20··on Claude Fable is relentlessly proactive
It's also 3x slower than opus 4.8 per my use, and 10x slower than codex. Codex can find key design issues in 2 minutes yet Fable is clueless after spinning 20 minutes.
