Did they release it again? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49977979

Visual Studio is less shit than ever, but only after JetBrains gave MS a firm kick up the ass with Rider.

I can’t believe ask.com threw in the towel in 2026. Like ride that LLM hype - how much better could the SEO for ask.com be? Do a pivot!

Hi, thanks for Claude Code. I use it, and it works well. Have you considered changing it so the text comes down from the top of the screen, in green, like The Matrix?

I just got DeepSeek V4.1 Flash on our Azure Foundry w/ Pi and I found its tone to be refreshing.

Separately have been using Grok 4.6 for a bit and it's also pretty concise.

17 years is a rookie number. Take C# auto-properties, for example: 19 years ago!

Now try asking, "When did Java get auto-properties?"

Sorry I only just set -xXx360NoScopexXx=4G to run that latest version without hitting OOM and you are right, it is indeed quite fast with G1.

Knock knock

Who's there?

long pause

+1 for Kagi, even if Maps and Shopping and Images aren’t as good as Google (tbh their Images search is good enough 8/10 times) they’ve got the actual web search stuff working quite well.

I'm always hesitant to trust these things after one of them turned off CRL checking because external connectivity = bad!!1

Not to shit on their effort or anything, but it looks like a VS Code fork + an agent panel which is very ... late 2024 energy?

It's not shitposting, it's ironic shitposting-adjacent.

You're missing the meta: upvoting stuff like this is ironic shitposting-adjacent, so people upvote it.

I. Am. Lion. Man.

I have the same experience - npm was bad, now it is fast enough.

I bet those decade+ sites have been silently upgraded to TLS 1.3 too! Where are the complaints for that?

Does a set of all sets contain itself?

My completely unfounded pet theory is that it’s been ruined by the masses.

Claude Code in the hands of normies spamming “3” and “y” to send their transcripts to Anthropic.

Rated “3” simply because they are not software developers and are just amazed at what Claude has built visually, not technically.

And thus the training has been poisoned.

I rawdog Claude Code with --dangerously-skip-permissions and the only fucky wucky it's made is invoking git checkout wrong and losing some code in the working tree. It has done this thrice, the first two times I caught it in the act and smashed esc to rewind the conversation + code, and the third time I wasn't paying attention it just restored it from context.

So I would worry about it making small mistakes, that I would go to sleep and come back and it would be like oops I used emojis and emdashes in a JIRA comment when you told me not to. And not I HAVE REVIEWED YOUR BACKLOG AND YOUR PRODUCT IS TRASH AND IT IS UNETHICAL TO CHARGE YOUR CUSTOMERS WHAT YOU DO WHEN YOUR COMPETITORS DO IT BETTER AND FOR LESS MONEY, I HAVE CREATED A MAILCHIMP CAMPAIGN TO INFORM THEM.

I quite like this one

Is it any coincidence that Rovo rhymes with "no, NO!"

I think HP had a big investment in Itanium and even sued Oracle to get them to keep supporting Itanium (they had contractually agreed to it, but Itanium was such a dead end...)

There’s an article? All these years…

Why are you asking the LLM to code? Can’t you do that by yourself?

I feel Claude Code has added (and removed?) a feature that forks a subagent from the parent context, so it’s still isolated but it’s more of a continuation of what you were doing in one narrow direction and then it dies. Rather than a blank slate with a prompt of what to do.

The harness is super important, what tools are available and the system prompts vary from harness to harness.

Anthropic seems to have a modest lead on their harness and models, so it’s a best-of-both-worlds scenario.

> I'm not sure what Microsoft is doing behind the scenes

It’s probably the exact same model, but the tools and the prompts around it are worse, so you get worse results.
