thatxliner··on Claude Opus 5.5
So much for pacing the frontier
thatxliner··on Bb: The IDE that builds itself
So T3 code but self customizable?
thatxliner··on Show HN: I spent 2 years designing a mechanical Magic Keyboard
I feel like this is similar to what Work Louder makes? Am I tripping?
thatxliner··on Darktable
I've been told that Darktable is more powerful than RAWtherapee and thus the learning curve is worth it, so I switched from Rawtherapee to Darktable.

I've been liking Darktable

thatxliner··on Darktable
I found Darktable absolutely amazing, although the learning curve is incredibly steep.

Some ex-maintainers hated the direction of Darktable and thus made their own fork, namely https://github.com/aurelienpierreeng/ansel

thatxliner··on Octane – compiled and faster React from creator of Inferno
A new JS framework in the big 26?
thatxliner··on Claude Opus 5
> Doing testing with it now, specifically for image->html conversion.

I wonder if there exists a benchmark for that.

thatxliner··on NerdLens: Mirror your computer with cardboard VR
This was originally implemented wayyy before AI got good; I just never bothered to package it for HN until today.

Also, it was an excuse to learn Unity :P

A faster streaming protocol is definitely up next though

thatxliner··on Show HN: Echo – Fable-level results at 1/3 the cost using open-weight models
How is this different from what that feature OpenRouter does?
thatxliner··on NerdLens: Mirror your computer with cardboard VR
it's useful on planes (that was my personal use case). also, privacy
thatxliner··on NerdLens: Mirror your computer with cardboard VR
I mean...it isn't that bad. The actual limitation is the resolution of your smartphone screen
thatxliner··on NerdLens: Mirror your computer with cardboard VR
useful on planes imo
thatxliner··on Inkling: Our Open-Weights Model
audio??? can it listen to music
thatxliner··on Show HN: Super Dario
a perfect representation of the situation
thatxliner··on Self-Hosted VPN Servers
Works in China; at least when I set it up, my brother in China was able to use YouTube.

On the Google speed test, he hit 46 mbps download

thatxliner··on SpaceX wants to launch 100k more Starlink satellites for 100x the bandwidth
Starlink is currently partnering with United Airlines for Wi-Fi coverage, so that's one thing.
thatxliner··on PostHog FOSS
Oh thanks for the clarification
thatxliner··on Just Pay the Subscription
No, I'd argue that this applies even for a mobile app: they can be shut down and become unavailable on the App Store or whatever.

On Android the solution is side loading if you have the APK. But on iPhone, unless you have the source code or IPA, you're stuck

thatxliner··on Just Pay the Subscription
Right, the issue is that we are owning our stuff less and less. You used to be able to even buy a copy of an OS on a CD. Thus, I don't think a subscription justifies the cost of maintenance, and a lot of app models don't do subscriptions for app updates.

Of course, if there is a cloud component, that's a different story because there are recurring costs to hosting a server. Or maybe a user uses the service enough to justify the subscription (e.g. Apple Music subscription vs paying per song on iTunes or how Claude Code and Codex are actual subscriptions that are extremely worth it for the user).

thatxliner··on PostHog FOSS
Does anyone know what the context for this is? Because https://github.com/PostHog/posthog exists as well
thatxliner··on GPT-5.5 Codex reasoning-token clustering may be leading to degraded performance
Fireworks?
thatxliner··on Claude Fable is relentlessly proactive
Maybe because there are not many resources on how to set it up, or it is just not that easy to?

Because most devs already have it running and working without a sandbox, they're tending to not doing anything "unnecessary"

thatxliner··on Show HN: Homebrew 6.0.0
When did you start using Mise? Maybe it's because I was a sort of early adopter.
thatxliner··on Show HN: FablePool – pool money behind a prompt, and Fable builds it in public
"Make Fable 6
thatxliner··on Show HN: Homebrew 6.0.0
Glad you're having a good experience, but I personally switched from Mise back to Brew. I don't know if it was just my skill issue, but there were too many packages which found Mise to be problematic.
thatxliner··on Ask HN: How do you get into a flow state when using AI to code?
I just work on multiple projects at the same time. This way, the time it takes for one prompt to complete does not disturb my productivity
thatxliner··on macOS Container Machines
Having used both, it feels like OrbStack "just works" more than Podman. The main example of this is Supabase.
thatxliner··on GitHub Copilot App
this looks similar to something I built https://github.com/ThatXliner/git-worm
thatxliner··on It Takes Two Neurons to Ride a Bicycle
now make this one-bit quantized
thatxliner··on Hacker News front page as a site
I didn’t make this lol; just something cool I’ve found
