I was a big fan of deno, so much that I migrated all my cf worker to demo, cause you can run the same engine in there cloud and local/selfhost - perfect no vender lockin(like with cloud flare workers), it's so sad to see it gets shelved.

K0IN — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 18:11:53 +0000

I really really love deepseek v4(and 4.1), but for everything I thrown at it, it felt like gpt 5.6 + 6 luna or terra do it faster, in way less tokens and in a way I like more. So even tho the price is (very) cheap, i found myself using it less just cause I don't want to wait on something I have to itteratee on with the model.

TeamSpeak, git backup(I use gittea) to backup public repos, backups in general, my website/blog, game servers, ssh(obv) for local app port forward, litellm as ai bridge to monitor usage, some of my own apps: (notification broker to send messages to my devices using a simple http push), everything behind traefik (with let's e encrypt)

agree, but do you think every dev you know konws this?

also "i just want to edit a config file and i want a nice ui", is how you get there.

a hile ago (when big providers still provided logprobs) i created a VS Code highlighter that visualizes unsure tokens.

Since most chat models want to answer with a human-readable message i think their logprobs are not as meaningful. It would be interesting to see if one choice is like "correct" and if the model wants to choose it more often, cause it might not answer the question but to prose to the user.

Does reinterpret_cast works in c++ for this?

I saw a lot of ppl think about what jev could use under the hood and could someone explain why this can't just be an embedding model where we just embed all the input + decisions and give back the cosine (or whatever) similarities?

K0IN — Sun, 20 Sep 2026 01:00:12 +0000

My day job is improving data quality in big enterprises (we build products for this), and I see where this article is going, it's a bit watered down, but I see this every day at our customers, most companies just don't have a simple way to query their own data, create metrics, get ai to actually do stuff cause data is spread between 3-10 systems where 4 are legacy and don't even have an API and even if they can access they have like zero context 100 custom fields and suffer from no first time right inputs from the last 30+ years.

(ofc. I see only the ppl who need this kind of service so I'm biased, and maybe it's not a wide spread issue)

now add a source tab and lets see, how many ppl. will fix it themselves and how many turns it needs.

New comment by K0IN in "DeepSeek launching v4.1 flash cheaper and more capable than v4 pro"

K0IN — Wed, 09 Sep 2026 14:59:08 +0000

I have used the flash model for over 3b tokens and ofc. I saw some hallucinations and premature termination (I also get this on Astra - way more often than with deepseek v4 flash), but I never had a infinite loop (using the copilot as harness).

I just want to put this out there, smolmachines is a wonderful program to solve this, I use this mostly for stuff needing docker socket / docker in docker (example strix and agents). (I'm using podman on my host)

New comment by K0IN in "Ask HN: How do you code review?"

K0IN — Thu, 27 Aug 2026 16:42:47 +0000

first the automated part, that makes a pr "review ready", this helps us alot to gain confidence.

1. Automated tests that actually test real cases 2. Automated tests to test for regressions 3. Automated end-to-end tests, to make sure all core functions (and new functions still work and ui flows are stable / correct) 4. automated ai reviews (we use strix for security and a small Copilot SDK harness) 5. linters (for go: gosec,govuln) and formatters

For the human review process, we try to "never do big refactorings out of the blue", normally we do this in pair, or in tight loops. We dont have special reviewer roles, every dev can review any pr, we think, that everyone in a team is responsible for the product (and its quality, this also helps alot with knowledge transfare, we have retros and dojos to keep everyone on the same levle and align our teams "taste").

I was also startled when python did ß.upper() returns "SS". Which is kind of unsuspected in some cases (if string length changes with an upper call)

New comment by K0IN in "The entire city of San Francisco as a video game"

K0IN — Mon, 24 Aug 2026 19:45:31 +0000

funny timing, i was exploring the same, some friends and me play alot of geogussr (a game where you put into streetview somewhere on the world, and have to find out where) lately.

I want to make it more video game like, cause the jumps of google maps make me motion sick.

I used google streetview as image source (cause you need to read signs, cars, see geometry) and colmap to reconstruct 3d chunks.

But it never really worked that well, jumps in time (cause the google car does not always continuously scan) and the image density is just too low, but was a fun side project.
