That is not how it works in the US.

Tell HN: 2026 is the year of the Linux desktop, agent-adjusted

dvrp — Mon, 05 Oct 2026 19:16:29 +0000

If you consider that most AI agents now have a VM who have a Linux box, including OpenAI’s latest release (Dot).

I also read that 2% of Americans are using AI in one way or another. So, if the Linux Desktop also measures AI desktops which are controlled by users via their, well, UserAgent… then year of Linux desktop is already here or it’s very close!

For context, Stripe has just acquired OpenRouter for >$7B.

I don't. Most things don't matter.

Like the news, you'll find out; except it'll be through Slack channels or co-workers or maybe even IRC channels, as opposed to HN.

> Oh, X company got hacked and you are in the cybersecurity circle?

> You'll find out.

> Oh, AI is the new thing?

> You'd be better without that.

> B-but what if I want to understand topic T?

> Then I'd tell you that HN offers free fast search and you can just type topic T and do your own research and hey you may just learn something!

Don't worry, you will be fine.

Happy HN'ing!

New comment by dvrp in "What to learn to be a graphics programmer"

dvrp — Thu, 02 Jul 2026 04:44:02 +0000

I love @Animats comment!

I come from reading about CRDTs from Evan Wallace and also having built a product used by >40M users.

It applies to software products too!

In their words…

If you want to build products, use React or even vibecode; you will learn higher-level issues of solutions to problems (i.e. people problems rather than machine problems), not how to push data/state/computation around. The problem is solving a need.

Neither is good nor bad; just be clear about your goals and then it’ll be easy to decide if you want to follow Zynga’s cofounder, Jonathan Blow, or Notch! And before you rush to answer… consider whether any of them are happy.

For people who recommend against learning these skills because “what Carmack did is not possible anymore.”… well, if what you look for is money then yeah! But, if you just want to learn for the love of the game, then that would be a very bad advice!

dvrp — Wed, 24 Jun 2026 19:40:28 +0000

"it's hard to justify burning a LoRA for most uses" -> Not really, it's literally cheaper on Krea than using ChatGPT Images; NBP and GPT-Images 2.0 are quite expensive, you'd be surprised. LoRAs are one of our most stickiest features (this doesn't mean they are intuitive; this just means that customers who use it, suddenly are retained way more because of how much better their images become). But yeah, anything out there doesn't offer a nice training UIs like Krea where you can just drag-and-drop a moodboard and get a LoRA in a few minutes. It literally takes only a few minutes on Krea; definitely not "N hours for GPUs to churn".
