Good question. There's 2 points to consider.

• For both Kimi K2 and for Sonnet, there's a non-thinking and a thinking version. Sonnet 4.5 Thinking is better than Kimi K2 non-thinking, but the K2 Thinking model came out recently, and beats it on all comparable pure-coding benchmarks I know: OJ-Bench (Sonnet: 30.4% < K2: 48.7%), LiveCodeBench (Sonnet: 64% < K2: 83%), they tie at SciCode at 44.8%. It is a finding shared by ArtificialAnalysis: https://artificialanalysis.ai/models/capabilities/coding

• The reason developers love Sonnet 4.5 for coding, though, is not just the quality of the code. They use Cursor, Claude Code, or some other system such as Github Copilot, which are increasingly agentic. On the Agentic Coding criteria, Sonnet 4.5 Thinking is much higher.

By the way, you can look at the Table tab to see all known and predicted results on benchmarks.

If I had a spare week that I wanted to spend on this game jam, I would be making a dynamically typed language and an interactive fiction game.

Dynamic types make it much easier to whip up a little language and interpreter. Interactive fiction doesn't have any difficult performance requirements so even a very slow interpreter is still probably fast enough. And IF doesn't require graphics or any kind of tricky bindings. Just printing to a terminal.
Show HN: Locu – Deep work sessions for engineers (Linear/Jira, local-first)
by drankou | 2025-12-01 21:39:18+00:00
Locu is a desktop app for engineers who want to do focused work consistently. We're 3 engineers who built it for ourselves - started as a Pomodoro replacement, grew into the system we use daily for all work-related stuff.

How it works: Import tasks from Linear/Jira. Break them down, add private notes. Each morning, pick your priorities for the day. Then execute: pick a task, enter focus mode, distractions blocked (apps + websites), work on one thing. Sessions are based on ultradian cycles (90 min focus blocks) - Andrew Huberman covered this on his podcast. Works way better than Pomodoro for actual coding.

Time tracking happens automatically as you work. Useful if you're contractor or just want to see where your hours went.

Other stuff: - Google Calendar integration: see all your meetings for the day, capture meeting notes - Slack integration: turn messages into tasks and sync your DnD status - Brag book: log achievements for perf reviews - Rich Text Editor for work-related knowledge base: code snippets, small docs for yourself. - Local-first (powered by Replicache) - especially relevant for Jira users since we almost entirely eliminate the need for visiting Jira website :) for Linear users it's just a native persona extension ;) - Available on both macOs and Windows, Linux and Mobile are coming as well

Curious how other engineers here structure their day. Do you do any kind of planning ritual? Time-block? Or just working as it goes? We landed on this session-based approach after trying a bunch of things, but always interested in what works for others.

Also happy to hear what's missing.

> I will probably never stop being astounded by people who embrace enahittification rather than losing a silly thing like Netflix.

I will probably never stop being astounded by people who read simple unambiguous texts and then go on having arguments with voices in their heads.

> at some point, the free market works this out

Oh, it has. You're looking at what the free market has worked out.

> Other than Wednesday, at this point there's nothing I want to watch on that service anymore.

Indeed. And literally told you why. Let me quote myself:

--- start quote ---

Netflix almost collapsed when major studios pulled their content to create competing platforms. That's why they spent to the tune of 8 billion dollars a year to produce their own content and flooded the service with mediocre movies and a bunch of Korean movies and series.

--- end quote ---

Look at how a powerful non-helpless streaming service (in your head) could do nothing against rights holders imposing their will on it (in the real world).

Here are Raytheon part markings on the tail kit of a GBU-12 Paveway glide bomb that Raytheon sold to a corrupt third word dictator, who used that weapon to murder the attendees of an innocent wedding in a country he was feuding with.

https://www.bellingcat.com/news/middle-east/2018/04/27/ameri...

I know the part number of every airplane part I have ever designed by heart, and I would be horrified to see those part numbers in the news as evidence of a mass murder.

So, what is your moral justification for defending one of the world’s largest and despised weapons manufacturers? Are you paid to do it or is it just pro-bono work?

> Rankings in small team-based game communities tend to be pretty noisy.

PP wasn't talking about ranking stability. PP was talking about the "Why should I give a shit about the leaderboard when ten million people play the game, and I'm someone with life obligations that aren't 'playing this game, exclusively', so I'm always in the middle of a sea of strangers because I can never git particularly gud?".

You might argue that the solution to that is to have separate rankings for folks in your friends' (or whatever) list, and I agree... but I'd get the same thing as filtered-to-friends-only leaderboards with leaderboards that are restricted to the population of players on the private servers on which I play. Plus, private servers give you the option to benefit from active admins who ban cheaters and other shitheels forever. [0]

[0] Or encourage them to cheat and be godawful, if that's the sort of server that they want to run. All-cheats-all-the-time and/or vent-your-spleen-24/7 servers are fun, too... just so long as folks are informed of what they're getting into by joining.

No sorry, I'm not going to read your PR fluff.

You might want to look at the comments in this thread [1], to get a feeling of the "accusations", as you want to call it... I'm not "accusing" anything, I really couldn't care less, I don't use Vercel/Next.js and never will, but maybe you should read the linked thread, too see how people (at least on HN) see your company.

> How did the UK get a point where planning terrorism and making mean comments online go into the same statistic for arrests?

In most publications: because the people reporting on these statistics can get more views and clicks that way. FUD sells. If someone online can defuse the statistics, the reporters that spread them also could've, but chose not to.

As for the second half of the list, "racist abuse, hate speech, and unwanted communication" are pretty common things to incriminate. Even the extremely liberal freedom of speech laws in the USA do not permit stalking ("unwanted communication") and racist abuse is criminalized in all kinds of cases (i.e. firing someone because of their race).

All good goals - but this can be done by the government forcing the private companies (Apple/Goog/Samsung) to build tools, reporting, support services around helping with both Scamming applications or Stolen phones etc....

This will keep the data out of governments hands, while pushing the cost burden to these companies and they would be better equipped to build around these goals than the government themselves.

We all know the govt doesn't have a great track record with using Pegasus etc... Giving away control to apps that can decide your phone is stolen and lock it opens the door to any possibility including a totalitarian regime. It would be naive to believe that even if this is done with good intentions, such control could be easily mis used by opposition parties, one malicious individual etc...

What’s happening here feels less like “Chinese models gaining share” and more like a substrate shift driven by cost physics. When inference drops from dollars to cents and quality converges to GPT-4-mini territory, the default stack for early-stage teams flips almost overnight. At that point founders optimize for runway, not sentiment, and open models become the path of least resistance.

The more interesting consequence is that when inference and fine-tuning are essentially free at startup scale, specialization becomes viable again. Instead of generic prompting against a closed API, teams can afford narrow, high-precision models tailored to their domain — something that used to be economically out of reach.

This is my feel as well, I have to maintain a somewhat complex custom SSR, and each update of react-router has been a pain, basically when they moved from using regex URLs to simpler paths, it was a reasonable decision, but the docs of the new supported patters were lacking, newer docs versions are barely searchable, or directly you won't find mentions to some existing APIs anywhere.

I tried their "get started" project with the newly typed routes, and it feels too complex, and unintuitive, the purpose of a framework is to make your life easier, and it's sad to see people with this much talent missing the goal, I won't be using react-router for future projects.
by seanw265 | 2025-12-01 21:40:54+00:00
FWIW it looks like OpenRouter's two providers for this model (one of whom being Deepseek itself) are only running the model around 28tps at the moment.

https://openrouter.ai/deepseek/deepseek-v3.2

This only bolsters your point. Will be interesting to see if this changes as the model is adopted more widely.

I agree, for me it’s my current weekend project to try to figure out a dirt cheap and high performance self hosted cloud for hosting stuff.

So I’m still sticking with Route53 cause it’s the least annoying registrar and DNS api, for CDN I’m going with bunny and for dirt cheap object storage I’m going with b2.

Then the fun part is the actual self hosting: I’m going with Garage for my normal self hosted S3 api (b2 is for backups etc.), Scylla for DDB, Spin for super fast Wasm FaaS…

Then this weekend I got deep into trying to build my cloudwatch alternative I think I’m going with dumping logs with vector into b2 and then using quickwit for searching the logs.

Just a fun homelab challenge really.

Thanks for your response :) In my experience almost all companies claim to respond to applications or inquiries but I expect most seekers would say it's more like 1/10.

It may be worth mentioning that you're continuing to open new positions and hire in the next thread. That would be (imo) a positive signal for others and would dispel these types of concerns. Because like others have said, they remember the companies who post over and over again and tend to not bother with them, under the assumption that they just aren't filling the position (if they even exist).

You think this is the tech job market to leave your job, and then what? Try and get in at someone else about to return to office? Freelance? IDK about anyone else, but I haven’t considered a contractor since AI Coding hit hard, I had poor experience with contractors anyhow, now I’m not sure I see the point of rolling those dice again.

It’s kind of a soft market unless you are working directly on AI models.

So, is this IG looking to cut fat by keeping what they considered the most committed employees? Maybe. Is it because most of us can admit that it takes the right people to work remotely and that isn’t a majority? That’s more my take.

It's one thing for J.K. Rowling to write Harry Potter outlines on cocktail napkins. A pen and a cocktail napkin can be quite the foundation for expression, indeed. But the same flexibility lets other people doodle, and still others blow their nose.

The capacity to enable greatness is neither the same as the encouragement to enable greatness, nor the guarantee to enable greatness, and there's a lot of survivor's bias at the top of the Ruby and Rails communities.

I continue a tech career making 200k+ a year and you try to sell me making 100k or less probably for the next 20 years as a win? Nah I love money to much and hella money is like 10m+ where I would chose something that in the next decades would make me so much less. Also no trajectory in career path. I'm happy it works for you but I wouldn't like that. On the other hand I have my big corpo wageslave job and my little own company and almost no free time sadly. I hope to have made enough money and can retire early at some point until then I grind.

I think those are two separate concerns. Writing code and running a tech business are two different things. I personally love Ocaml and think it's an excellent language and very underrated. However, I (probably) wouldn't want a production-ready system written in it, because it has a weaker ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, and it's harder to hire experienced people who already know or are willing to learn the language.
by d13z | 2025-12-01 21:42:58+00:00
I love the idea of converge with the web and also like the simplicity of being able to see what is happening. I've also experienced the despair or having to debug the internals of a library or a wrapper of a wrapper of a wrapper somebody thought was a good idea to make. But I wonder how the future in a LLM powered world could look like. Will LLMs privilege code that require less tokens to read and to write? Will verbosity become a monetary problem? Will short implicit Frameworks take the lead? I wonder if frameworks will start to optimize for machines or people.

Again, it looks like you forgot all the issues there was, and only remember the good aspect of it. You didnt find the server on the first try.

Your favorite server was not always online

Some people were too good on the server you like and it wasn't fun.

Countless other problems, and you needed to sink in a lot of time to get the few quality time you wrote about.

Location: EU

Remote: Yes, EU timezones preferred

Willing to relocate: Depends on the location (but with a strong bias for EU-Schengen/US locations)

Technologies: Java, Python (and variants thereof like Groovy, Clojure, Pypy), Node/TS | AWS/Lambda Serverless, GCE/Kubernetes | Redis, MySQL, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB

Resume: https://bit.ly/3B3o65M (It links to my CV repo at Github, pinky promise. You can also visit github.com/<hnusername>.)

I'm not actively looking (hence why my resume link is obfuscated like that) but I'm at least interested in getting a feel for the market right now. That said, I'm willing to consider a position with a great fit for my skill set and career goals.

Here's my pitch: I have experience in a multitude of industries and positions. From improving legacy infra and processes in an established telco company to scaling a fast-moving startup from 200K to 2M users. In my free time, I love writing Code That Is Poetry but day-to-day I am not an idealist engineer who doesn't compromise. Well-engineered code is clean and correct but correct above all else.

Oh, also, I'm great at writing documentation. I consider myself introverted but apparently my communication skills are above average for Software Engineers. I also pride myself on my humility and modesty.

I'm currently a backend engineer developing features and improving infra for an online game with millions of daily active users. I'd love to explore other technical positions in the games industry short of joining a AAA studio because (a) I don't want to crunch and (b) my skill set does not lay that way; other tech-creative industries would also appeal to me! Another particular interest is in B2C businesses where the 'C' is software developers. I'd love to chat and network about opportunities; if you think you have a product that could benefit from my skill set, drop me a line!

I've been running unfederated Matrix instance with sqlite for 10 years for 10-20 people some very active. In WAL mode sqlite is fine i am not sure why it would get corrupted.

Few years ago we did a data/history wipe (i managed to migrate accounts) because we switched to conduit.rs with sqlite. I very much prefer conduit to synapse.

I never had issue with sqlite it was mostly Synapse. With recent changes i think they are completely dropping the ball on small instances and it feels like the ecosystem is splitting. Element X is just not very good. It seems to exist to kill classic element and since for element x you need some server features that not all alternative synapse servers support.

I'm one of the rare remote in an office where most are full time there and I'm there one day a week.

I have no idea how they get anything done in there. I feel they only can focus before and after business hours.

So don't be so sure. Home has distraction when the mind is distracted. But once working I feel we are much more productive and capable due to long uninterrupted stints.

It does take discipline but that's what deadlines are for.

But isn’t the problem that if an LLM ‘neutralizes’ its sycophantic responses, then people will be driven to use other LLMs that don’t?

This is like suggesting a bar should help solve alcoholism by serving non-alcoholic beer to people who order too much. It won’t solve alcoholism, it will just make the bar go out of business.

Oh, boy. During the great California fire of 2020, I went down a very deep rabbit hole looking to air purification. I studied what is out there. I compared their characteristics with regard to filter media quality, air cycles, PM2.5 performance, VOC's, energy consumption, and so on, but my goal was to have performance and near silence. I learned about static pressure and how important it is to choose the right blower for the job (impeller and blower vs fan; and yes, a blower creates vastly more static pressure than these fans). I looked into what quantities of charcoal actually deliver meaningful VOC reduction and how often they must be replaced (you need lbs of it; that single filter on the front of most purification units does nothing but act as a pre-filter). I really should have written all my research and discovery down but if you are serious about it, I came to the following conclusions:

1. A furniture company that decides to integrate a purification system into their offerings can hit it big. Imagine a big, heavy dresser in your bedroom that sucks in air from the bottom and pushes up to the top or a TV stand that where different compartments are filter media. The mass of these reduces noise and vibration and allow for larger, slower spinning blowers and larger surface area of filter media (less static pressure, longer replacement intervals, easily hold pounds of activated charcoal).

2. One needs to pump in oxygen from the outside and exchange the indoor air with the outside air. Circulating and cleaning the air in the home, especially with modern doors and windows, will become unpleasant in a short while, especially during wildfire season. The positive pressure this creates also helps pollutants stay out, if done correctly.

I would absolutely go the diy route using large filters, activated carbon, housed in a wooden box with a blower and implement something like AC Infinity's in-line filtration systems to pull outside air in through a window, with a large carbon filter on one end. Or if a homeowner, set up a more permanent solution. https://acinfinity.com/inline-fan-systems/
