I always (as soon as I could) owned a car, first on independence, but soon that became on price. A car costs between $350 and $500 per month, plus about 2 gas tanks, let's say $600. That's only 10-15 short taxi rides and two long taxi rides at best.

And now I have a family, there's 5 of us. A car is easily less than half the price of public transport for what I need to do (because you pay per person).

I hate traffic, and I don't really like driving, but since a car is easily 30 minutes faster than public transport to drive in to work, sadly 30 minutes of traffic in the morning is still faster than public transport, no matter how annoying it is. Oh and no waiting in the rain/cold is a nice bonus.

Trunk | https://trunk.io

Developer Marketing Lead - Remote friendly | Senior DevRel Engineer - San Francisco| Technical Lead (CI & Test Data Platform) - San Francisco | Sr Platform Engineer - San Francisco

Trunk is an a16z funded (25M) Series A dev tools startup, redefining software development at scale. We've helped engineerings teams at: Google X, Zillow, and Brex to understand why their builds fail, which tests are flaky, and how to ship code faster without sacrificing reliability. AI has made writing code 10x faster, but shipping is still painfully slow. The bottleneck has shifted downstream - to merge conflicts, flaky tests, inconsistent code quality, and dozens of other frictions that drain productivity and morale. Engineering teams that can stay focused on designing, implementing, and delivering software will build magical, high-quality projects - and they'll be happier doing it. We're building a CI Reliability Platform that empowers teams to land code faster and develop happier!

Our products:

* Merge Queue: Ensure your PRs keep the builds you care about green at any scale.

*Flaky Tests: Detect and eliminate Flaky Tests.

Our tech stack:

Frontend: Typescript, React, Next.js, AWS
Backend: Typescript, Node, AWS
Data pipelines: Dagster, Python, polars
CI/CD: GitHub Actions

I'm in the opposite camp. Waymo has neat tech, yes, but already valuing it on par with Uber is absurd considering the sheer scale at which Uber operates. 70 countries, 15K cities, 36 million daily trips. And this isn't counting Uber Eats and other side businesses. Waymo will have to accelerate its operations to the max for the next decade just to catch up. And that's assuming operating at such a scale is even possible considering they have to provide and maintain their own (very expensive) fleet. And this isn't a brand new market - Uber + local taxi companies have already set a hard cap on prices that Waymo cannot cross.

This isn't a Microsoft thing, it's a big dumb corporation thing. Most big corporations are run by dumb executives who are 100% out of touch with the customer (though even if they were in touch, they wouldn't care). Their only consideration is the stock price. If adding new names to things, chanting the magic spell "AI" over and over, and claiming the new name will make them more money can cause the stock price to increase, that's what they'll do. (Making customers happy doesn't make the stock price rise; if it did, we'd all be a lot less depressed and a lot richer)

> WHY they use Apple hardware

Because Windows' UX is trash? Anyone with leverage over their employer can and should request a Mac. And in a hot market, developers/designers did have that leverage (maybe they still do) and so did get their Macs as requested.

Only office drones who don't have the leverage to ask for anything better or don't know something better exists are stuck with Windows. Everyone else will go Mac or Linux.

Which is why you see Windows becoming so shit, because none of the culprits actually use it day-to-day. Microsoft should've enforced a hard rule about dogfooding their own product back in the Windows 7 days when the OS was still usable. I'm not sure they could get away with it now without a massive revolt and/or productivity stopping dead in its tracks.

I did something like this years ago for a really large team (~50 devs) when first introducing linting into a legacy project. All we did was count the gross total number of errors for the lint run, and simply tracked it as a low-water mark - failing the build if the number was > the existing number of errors, and lowering the stored number if it was lower. So in practice people couldn't introduce new errors. The team was encouraged to use the boy-scout rule of fixing a few things anytime you had to touch a file for other reasons, but it wasn't a requirement. We threw up a simple line chart on a dashboard for visibility. It worked like a charm - total number went down to zero over the course of a year or so, without getting in the way of anyone trying to get new work done.

Sadly, it sounds like you're all-in on making it a zero sum, us-vs.-them game. If not declaring a war over resources in the Education-Industrial Complex, then condemning anyone who's reluctant to take up arms for your cause.

Vs. over 100 years ago, my grandmother taught 1st through 8th grades. In a one-room schoolhouse. Rural community - maybe 1% of parents had been to college. Annual per-student funding was $50-ish. Grandma's teaching credentials were, at best, a 2-year "Normal School" degree. The School District's Superintendent was probably 1/4 time or less, with zero administrative staff.

And yet the vast majority of grandma's students left her 8th grade able to read at that level. Old family stories from the era have neither "boys vs. girls" subtexts, nor zero-sum worldviews.

If the application handles them serially, then yeah. But one can imagine the application opening files in threads, buffering them, and then finally sending it at full speed, so in that sense it is an application issue. If you truly have millions of small files, you're more likely to be bottlenecked by disk IO performance rather than application or network, though. My primary use case for ssh streams is zfs send, which is mostly bottlenecked by ssh itself.

Connections to HS1/Europe, and to Leeds, Golborne, East Midlands, Manchester and finally even Crewe have all been cancelled so now extra expenditures will focus instead on Euston Station. That's not the large section people were interested in riding. Perhaps Old Oak Common should instead have been tunnelled the same distance through to Waterloo International (whose international platforms are now deleted).

Wait till you see the showdown that's building up in NYC.

Mamdani, the new nyc mayor, has been a long time friend and advocate for NYC taxi workers alliance. He even participated in a hunger strike with them in 2021.

Waymo is right now starting the wheels turning on getting NYC permits, but taxi workers have already made their (obvious) stance clear: No Waymos.

zsync is better for that. zsync precalculates all the hashes and puts them in a file alongside the main one. The client downloads the hashes, compares them to what it has then downloads the parts it is missing.

With rsync, you upload hashes of what you have, then the source has to do all the hashing work to figure out what to send you. It's slightly more efficient, but If you are supporting even 10s of downloads it's a lot of work for the source.

The other option is to send just a diff, which I believe e.g. Google Chrome does. Google invented Courgette and Zucchini which partially decompile binaries then recompile them on the other end to reduce the size of diffs. These only work for exact known previous versions, though.

I wonder if the ideas of Courgette and Zucchini can be incorporated into zsync's hashes so that you get the minimal diff, but the flexibility of not having a perfect previous version to work from.
Show HN: Cloud-cost-CLI – Find cloud $$ waste in AWS, Azure and GCP
by vuhp | 2026-02-02 16:45:10+00:00
Hey HN! I built a CLI tool to find cost-saving opportunities in AWS, Azure, and GCP.

Why?
Existing cost management tools are either expensive SaaS products or slow dashboards buried in cloud consoles. I wanted something fast, CLI-first, and multi-cloud that I could run in CI/CD or my terminal.

What it does:
- Scans your cloud accounts and finds idle VMs, unattached volumes, oversized databases, unused resources
- Returns a ranked list of opportunities with estimated monthly savings
- 26 analyzers across AWS, Azure, and GCP
- Read-only (never modifies infrastructure)

Key features:
• HTML reports with interactive charts (new in v0.6.2)
• AI-powered explanations (OpenAI or local Ollama)
• Export formats: HTML, Excel, CSV, JSON, terminal
• Multi-Cloud - AWS, Azure, and GCP support (26 analyzers)

Quick example:
npm install -g cloud-cost-cli
cloud-cost-cli scan --provider aws --output html

Real impact:
One scan found $11k/year in savings (empty App Service Plan, over-provisioned CosmosDB, idle caches).

Technical stack:
- TypeScript
- AWS/Azure/GCP SDKs
- Commander.js for CLI
- Chart.js for HTML reports
- Optional OpenAI/Ollama integration

Open source (MIT): https://github.com/vuhp/cloud-cost-cli
npm: cloud-cost-cli

Would love feedback on:
1. What features would be most useful?
2. Should I add historical tracking (trends)?
3. Any missing cloud providers?

Happy to answer questions!

So is reviewing and verifying code. Maybe not twice as "hard" if you're skilled in such things. But most programmers I've worked with can't be bothered to write tests let alone verify correctness by other means (good tests, property tests, types, model checking, etc).

It's one thing to point out small trivialities like initialization and life time issues in a small piece of code. But it's quite another to prove they don't exist in a large code base.

Kernigan is a good source of quotes and thinking on programming.

A car does not cost $350 and $500 per month. If it does, it’s a status symbol, not merely a tool to get from A to B, and therefore it is unfair to compare it against taxi rides.

There’s nothing wrong with wanting a nicer more luxurious car for yourself. But it’s just ingenious to compare that against taxis with beaten-up and spartan but reliable cars.
by michaelcampbell | 2026-02-02 16:47:11+00:00
Can you (or anyone) explain how this might be? The "agent" is just a passthrough for the model, no? How is one CLI/TUI tool better than any other, given the same model that it's passing your user input to?

I am familiar with copilot cli (using models from different providers), OpenCode doing the same, and Claude with just the \A models, but if I ask all 3 the same thing using the same \A model, I SHOULD be getting roughly the same output, modulo LLM nondeterminism, right?

> was quite concerned to learn that AI changed its memory of my incident based solely on how I asked the question.

It didn't. The chatbot has no memory of your incident. Only of your question (and maybe its answer).

This reminds us of the root problem in taking advice from a chatbot which presents itself as human. User mistakes the advice as the product of intelligence.

You need to provide a 3M part number. I had to clean up silicone oil and was looking up which solvent works best while being safe as possible and it turns out to be Ethyl Acetate. It works well but is quite potent. A few whiffs had me dizzy to the point where I almost lost balance so I immediately stopped and ordered PPE. I bought a 3M 6900 full face mask and 3M 60928 NIOSH filters for organics and acids. I could not smell anything, breathing was very smooth and natural, and no fogging. When I was finished I walk about 20 feet from the project, took the mask off and immediately was smacked in the face with the solvent fumes.

Sometimes you just have to align to the rest of the organization's behavioral patterns, because not doing so creates issues and friction.

Based on what I took away from the comment to which you were responding, the rest of the organization that person works at is build-the-road-as-you-drive and they're ok using AI to do the same from a dev standpoint.

This. They're letting wall street in on it so wall street goes to bat for it. It's the big boy version of how some widget manufacturer will revise a product to necessitate or cut out a trade lobby depending on whether they want those people to go to bat for it, or make all the people who don't wanna pay rent to those people go to bat for it.

Personally, I find it odd to have interactions with anyone just based of transactionality. I want to interact with people because I have relationships with them. I've always found it hard to figure out exactly how nice to be with someone you don't know. I don't think this is a maladjustment on my part, I think you probably shouldn't be overly nice to people before you establish trust with them... and that takes time.

Waymo needs $16B to build what Tesla already has: manufacturing capacity. Without that, there are only so many cars they can put on the road. They've proven they can do the rides. But they haven't proven they can do it cost effectively. To scale up and start making a profit, they'll need to start building/buying lots of Waymo cars. That's not going to be cheap or fast. That's going to involve a lot of capital expenses.

Tesla is the other way around. They can definitely make lots of cars and make a profit. But they haven't quite gotten FSD to the stage where it can do rides properly. Supposing they at some point figure that one out, they are very well positioned to start producing vehicles by the hundreds of thousands pretty soon after. That's indeed the premise for their valuation. It's risky but not completely without merit.

Another point to make is that Waymo and Tesla are not going to have this market to themselves for very long. There are quite a few autonomous ride hailing companies serving rides at this point. And while the attention is often on the US, China is moving pretty quickly as well. Several companies competing there in several huge Chinese cities, for example.

On the US side, I think there are a few players that might become competitive soon. Zoox is looking pretty solid. And Rivian is rumored to be pushing autonomy as well. There are a few more players in various stages of technical readiness.

The real battle will be in a few years when we are past the basic "does it work", "is it safe" questions and legal approvals all over the world become more routine. Then it will be all about volume and scaling. That's going to take probably at least until 2030.

The infighting is so tedious. We really need to peacefully explore the "national divorce" idea again. In the 1860s the concept was too intermingled with the evil of slavery to be considered separately.

But realistically, instead of both sides hating each other to the point of perpetual violence, why not just have 2 or 3 countries in which we can all be happy? Trade and travel agreements are easy to establish by treaty. It doesn't have to be this way.

I would love to hear/see a definitive answer for this, but I read somewhere that the relationship between MS and \A is such that the copilot version of the \A models has a smaller context window than through CC.

This would explain the "secret sauce", if it's true. But perhaps it's not and a lot is LLM nondeterminism mixing with human confirmation bias.
