Not even for the average person. Luna is an amazing model for most coding tasks.

> will be inseparable from humanity and/or have the means to replicate

How will this happen if you need insane amounts of compute to run these models? Where will the models replicate themselves by taking up PBs of space without anyone noticing?

> You and the AI agree on an outline or other high level representation, then the LLM expands it into a document.

What a horrible, cold, inhumane world that would be.

What makes you think that models will improve with the same pace that they have been improving in the past few years?

New comment by PestoDiRucola in "Ask HN: How do you keep agent-written PRs reviewable?"

PestoDiRucola — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 23:16:58 +0000

1. Ruthlessly keep PRs small (use stacked PRs if needed)

2. Very strict CI (tests, linting, if you can afford it an agent to review the code)

3. Related to the first point, but simply refuse to review PRs over a certain number of lines of code (within reason, some PRs cannot be split into smaller ones)

I think you're giving the claude code team too much credit. I don't think that's a feature but something that probably got vibe slopped into the harness by claude

Not trying to be controversial, but do you also think forums such as this one are trash?

There's nothing neoconservative about his ideology. He's some sort of monarchist paleoconservative.

New comment by PestoDiRucola in "Ask HN: What are you actually using LLMs for in production?"

PestoDiRucola — Sun, 29 Jun 2025 20:42:36 +0000

Claude Sonnet 4 is pretty good for programming stuff, albeit pretty expensive. It's also good for other things as well. I like using it as a conversational partner when developing the systems architecture whenever I'm working on something new.

Gemini 2.5 is pretty cheap and has a huge context window, although not as good as Claude for programming. For that reason I would suggest to use is through the API if you're building a product that has an LLM step.

What happened to him? By reading the Wikipedia article, he seems like a very corrupt individual in a position of power. I don't see how Bild was involved in that.

I wonder if this will be another effect of higher-than-0 interest rates. With tech companies choosing to leave cloud service providers in order to reduce their costs.
