On top of this is a pregnant mother of 5. With all the decrease in fertility, maybe the woman that managed to make their children independent enough to allow them to have 4 siblings should be given a freaking medal.

Okay but than which agent will actually use that? Because if no agent is going to use the accept html header to get markdown this is pointless.

New comment by giorgioz in "Fable extended until 19 July"

I've been trying Fable 5 and GPT 5.6 Sol last few days. My impression is that Sol consumes a lot less tokens that Fable 5 being comparable. Gpt 5.6 Sol can be run sustainably on one 20x plan. Fable 5 requires 2-3 20x plans to be run sustainably. I think the best move move for Anthropic would be to release an Opus 5 that is actually as cheap as Sol and comparably good. They have released a Fable 5 and Sonnet 5 so that seems like a possible move but I'm not sure whether the Opus 5 they got is already at Sol level. Claude Code terminal is still better than Codex CLI though as an harness. Claude code Ultramode + workflow is unmatched by Codex harness yet in my experience.

New comment by giorgioz in "Paris to ban drinking alcohol in public as hospitals hit heatwave breaking point"

giorgioz — Fri, 26 Jun 2026 09:39:00 +0000

The article doesn't even try to explain the correlation between the heat-wave and the public alcohol drinking. Are there a lot people hospitalized because of drinking alcohol? It could be so but it would have been nice to mention numbers and clearly state medical facts about alcohol rather than just using it as clickbait title.

New comment by giorgioz in "The 2-Year Apartment Rule"

giorgioz — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 08:32:11 +0000

I think apartments needs maintenance and it's hard to communicate to the landlord there is a problem or fix or find someone to fix it. The mold is very common. The mold is very easy to remove when it's small but it becomes exponentially bigger growing. Go on Amazon search for anti-mold cleaning product and a spatula. When you see a mold 1cm large get on a chair spray and scrape. It will take 5 minute. If you wait 3 months thinking you should tell the landlord and then the landlord will call someone then the mold will have become 100 square cm, it will be a 100 minutes to clean.

The roaches too if they are in your kitchen call a exterminator. Don't leave food out at night, clean all crumbs.

If you don't take care of those things even in a a new building they will appear on their own after 2 years.

New comment by giorgioz in "Ask HN: How do you get into a flow state when using AI to code?"

giorgioz — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 16:38:52 +0000

Read the blog posts from Peter Steinberget blog steipete.me about his setup. Many AI builders converged on using the terminal with multiple panes. When a prompt is running if you don't have anything to do add another pane and start another prompt. Little by little you might have 1-6 prompts in parallel at some point. The flow state with AI is managing productively several prompts in parallel.

Also www.reddit.com is/was doing the same back button hijacking. From google.com visiting a post, then clicking back and you would find yourself on Reddit general feed instead of back to Google.

POSSIBLE FIX:

I think changing your default DNS servers to Google 8.8.8.8 or Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 might bypass the spanish sunday ban on Cloudlflare.

macOS + Cloudlfare 1.1.1.1 https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/setup/macos/

New comment by giorgioz in "If DSPy is so great, why isn't anyone using it?"

giorgioz — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 16:20:44 +0000

Loved the article because I exactly hit the stages all up till the 5th! Thank you for making me see the whole picture and journey!

I think a problem to DSPy is that they don't know the concept of THE WHOLE PRODUCT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_product

Look at https://mastra.ai/ and https://www.copilotkit.ai/ to see how more inviting their pages look. A company is not selling only the product itself but all the other things around the product = THE WHOLE PRODUCT

A similar concept in developer tools is the docs are the product

Also I'm a fullstack javascript engineer and I don't use Python. Docs usually have a switch for the language at the top. Stripe.com is famous for it's docs and Developer Experience: https://docs.stripe.com/search#examples It's great to study other great products to get inspiration and copy the best traits that are relevant to your product as well.

I actually didn't notice since there weren't gradients.

On one side what you are saying it's true but on the other side it rings like "it was better when it was worse" which I always despised in the past. It's hard to accept when it's your own craft that is being automated but we must move on. Otherwise we'll be like the mechnical clockmakers complaining about Casio watches.

snarky critical or mocking in an indirect or sarcastic way.

I think the constructive information is mentioning Github Pages were built on .md file and they have existed for 10 years. That's true and useful.

The snarky part happens when phrasing the sentence "Ah you guys only doing this now? It has existed for 10 years" that part is talking about something constructive but it's also trying to diminish the discovery of someone else. We all find and develop at different times. In general is better to be constructive and happy someone else is joining you in using something than underline how it was already done in some way by you or others and this new discovery is irrelevant. Everything that exists already existed (in some other shape or smaller parts).

Yes it's awesome! I'm creating a lot of CLIs with Claude Code to interact with external services. Yesterday made a CLI for the Google Search Console so I can prompt "get all problems from indexing in Google Search Console and fix them". Same with Sentry bugs. Same with the customer support "Use the the customer support cli skill to get recent conversations from customers and rank bug reporting and features requests and suggest things to work on"

The monorepo make it easier to ship the overall product but harder to ship parts of it. I've used a monorepo for the past 13 years and I got all shared packages with version 0.0.0 and I still haven't figured out a simple way to share just some parts of it like a CLI. Does anyone have a monorepo and publishes NPM packages with source code of only that folder? Sub-gits required to pull in multiple places...
