I also have no clue based on naming where this fits in, maybe it's their Claude Haiku competitor. Who knows.

This is a perfect example where AI is used / working alongside humans to get the best of both worlds. Humans attempted to fix it and failed multiple times before. Now AI has a fix, which is still not perfect, but still promising. Now, on the current state with the known issue, both humans and AI can look for a fix.

Bit by bit, they will together hopefully come to a solution where it both works, and everyone agrees it works and nobody finds any issues.

Was that so hard?

You mean you need permission to show notifications to join a meeting?

I think it is needed otherwise the system would kill the app and the call as soon as you either leave the app (which is possible while having an ongoing call) or the screen turns off. No notification for the user to see something is going on in the background = no possibility to run in the background.

Tehnically, yes, it would work without the notification, you just must make sure you both never leave the call screen or let the screen of the phone go off.

New comment by chapz in "Ask HN: How to speed up code-reviews?"

chapz — Sun, 18 Oct 2026 12:57:59 +0000

Depends what do you look for in code review? I only check the code architecture.

Does it use dependency injection as we set it up? Are domain/data/presentation classes in correct modules? Is the data flow hierarchy correct according to clean arch? Are unit tests written, is the code coverage better or at least the same? Are classes doing specific things named according to patterns how we name them? Is everything generally following the same pattern as the rest of the project?

Code is mostly about patterns, and if you know the pattern, making sure the AI agent follows it gives you the peace of mind that you can also manually check and understand it later. Everything else is a fine detail, and at the moment, this is something that I don't think is that important unless you have specific bottlenecks or issues, which again... you fix with a new prompt...

Transmission, Tailscale, Glance Homepage and NginxProxy which points to my local PC and the rest of the services running there.

Frontier AI labs are customers just like the average Joe down the street. The only difference is who can bid more. Average Joe probably doesn't have millions or wont buy millions of chips.

There are no privileged consumers that have "dedicated" amount of production, no matter the demand.

App verification means, Google can deny apps entry into Android for whatever reason Google comes up with. There are no clear and objective rules nor are there any real options to object.

And that is the problem. Google can just deny anything that does stuff in a creative new way or that poses a competitive risk.

And, if Google decides you are not comming in, there is no warning you can click to go around that.

Codeberg should host code, and should not be bothered by which tool the code is written. Let's wait until GitHub starts accepting only code written in VS Code or Visual Studio because those are Microsofts tools.

Want to use other tools? Move somewhere else.

If I, as a consumer can't access it, it might aswell be just a marketing hoax. I will believe it when I will be able to use it. IDK why companies publish blog posts about stuff that will come out in months...

New comment by chapz in "The worst job interview I ever had"

chapz — Wed, 27 May 2026 13:26:19 +0000

I don't think this was a job interview. I think they needed research for their own project, and they used you as a test subject under the cover of a interview for a job position. They probably tested what type of questions work best to get information from the subject in their project.

I realized with the people where I really care about leaving a good impression or hoping to become friends with, it's really hard and scary to do any kind of interaction. If I on the other hand have no desire for a friendship with someone but a chance occurs to chat, I talk to them like I know them for decades and am fully relaxed and don't really have any kind of anexiety.

Seems that the more you want something, the more you are able to sabotage yourself getting it.

It's probably not GitHub as such, but the associated memories and experiences. You never miss a place, you miss the feeling of happines you had when you were there, or the people you spent time with there.

People get emotional over a car, over a house, over a pet... you could argue for everything it's just a car/house/pet... you can get a new one.

This kinda hurt. The world is in a rush to be the ASAP, so nobodys interest is to do design good, it needs to be fast. And now we have this sh*tshow.

TIL people use AI to generate comments to write in posts. Faith in humanity not destroyed, because it was never there to begin with.

The point is more - it's primary goal is not to enable developers to do more and better, it's primary goal is to _maximize shareholder value_. Important thing to keep in mind.

New comment by chapz in "How to Write Compelling Release Announcements"

chapz — Wed, 25 Jun 2025 15:07:22 +0000

I would call this release marketing, not release anouncements, as it sounds more like ads than actually useful information. I do believe there is a sweet spot between release notes and release advertising, the true release announcement, but it needs to be more subtle.
