> The LWN site has been improved in a number of ways, with features like articles in EPUB format,

This is the single biggest feature that makes me keep my subscription going. The convenience to read longer form offline on my ebook reader makes me wish all other long form content websites would have the same.

New comment by RMPR in "Hy4 Preview"

RMPR — Fri, 28 Aug 2026 06:40:38 +0000

At first I thought it was this Hy[1], oh well one can dream.

> Hy4 preview came out slightly ahead of both GLM 5.3 (2.99 vs. 2.92 average, 46.8% wins / 12.8% ties / 40.4% losses) and Kimi K3 (2.99 vs. 2.94, 51.2% wins / 7.9% ties / 40.9% losses).

This is extremely impressive if true that they are able to beat both K3 and HLM 5.3 however an someone who doesn't know anything about this space. How much better is 2.99 compared to 2.94 or 2.92? This difference to me seems very marginal. Or is only meant to say that they are in the same "category"?

It really is not that bad when you are in a company with a good culture. Leadership is gonna be AI piled everywhere, but imho that's how you learn where to use (and not to use) the technology.

If you really want to be lazy, use a terminal file manager (I prefer lf[0]) it helps avoiding the cd && ls dance. That way, your history only contains commands you actually would want to rerun.

jj looks very interesting and the hipster in me wants to adopt it, but my muscle memory is wired to Magit, I am not even an Emacs user, but I reach to it just for doing git stuff. So far none of the frontends for jj comes close.

If you are using vim in the terminal pressing alt send an escape sequence when followed by another key press. So to go out of insert mode I usually press alt+ one of h/j/k/l

I wish the author had spent more time explaining what's better about SWM compared to TWM.

The only thing he said:

> It was the best of both worlds—easy to navigate, while remaining mousable.

Is not really convincing as Cosmic desktop for example is tiling while remaining mousable.

I have been vaguely aware of PaperWM and Niri but never saw the appeal productivity-wise.

> For Vim users, I also suggest enabling Vim mode in Zsh. It makes editing commands much faster.

I am also an avid Vim user but I disagree. The default readline is perfectly fine for single line commands (you do have to know your way around some basic commands though C-a/u/k/l/w...). To edit long commands in $EDITOR you can always do C-x C-e in bash/zsh (M-v in Fish). As a matter of fact everytime I pair program with my colleague I always think he is editing those short commands slower than I would have because he has to change modes all the time.

Jiratui[0] has some support for basic automation. That's probably what OP is using as it is the most poppular Jira cli tool out there.

It mostly depends on your needs, the Note Air series is good if you are on the go while the bigger models like the Note Air Max are fit for a more stationary use.

> It also has a full Android system, which comes with advantages for sure but invites distractions and leads to very disappointing battery life.

While some models have a disappointing battery life, it's most definitely because of BSR[0] not because of them running Android. I had a Note Air 3 and that thing got easily 2 weeks of battery life with heavy use while the BSR version (Note Air 3C) barely survived 2 days.

OP mentioned he took over an existing project. He would then have to track all the people who contributed in order to be able to relicense to AGPL. Even then, Anthropic would probably then write their own.
