New comment by kesor in "Grok 4.5"

You get "Grok Build" (the CLI) that uses the Cursor and/or Grok 4.5 models when you buy SuperGrok, which is like $300/year. I don't know if there is a feature-to-feature comparison by anyone on this, but you can get access to these models with unmetered tokens with SuperGrok.

That is what government is for. Protecting itself from citizens.

You didn't play long enough. There are layers and layers and layers of features in that game if you play for 10 minutes or more.

New comment by kesor in "I hated writing until I learned there’s a science to it (2024)"

kesor — Thu, 28 May 2026 22:07:29 +0000

The art of writing clickbait article headlines:

- Use a word like "science" to lure in the geeks

- (you don't even need to know what science is, its ok)

- Some of the geeks will push your headline to top of HN just because it had the right word in it

- Put some filler about life being hard in the article, so those who actually read it have to waste ten minutes of their lives (proving your point).

- Profit and glory!

It depends how much of that is services. If the device is hardware constrained, having an option to boot into a different set of services can be useful. Like a way to have more than a single lean thing, instead of a single bloated one.

New comment by kesor in "Open source Kanban desktop app that runs parallel agents on every card"

kesor — Sat, 23 May 2026 06:50:53 +0000

Originally the word "Kanban" was used by Toyota to describe their card system that helped them achieve several important things, one of them was to NOT work on too many things at once. The other one was to visualize the work. And in general Kanban was used to manage the flow of work so that defects don't get through.

This tool on the other hand is all about "jam as much work as you can come up with into being created in parallel". Obviously there is no managing of any flow of quality outputs, and no limiting of any work because you just shove everything into the agent and burn tokens like crazy.

Calling this a "Kanban" really irks me ... its like blasphemy or something.

It is a way to switch into a different configs. Just like when you switch to a new set of packages when you update your channels (or flake) and you get activated with the new versions. Same thing with specializations, just you can choose to have a different set of packages activated and enabled in each different specialization. Like having multiple different configs in one.

How does an AI finding a proof of a question that someone asked very long ago, is going to improve anyone's cognitive capabilities?

Human cognition improves the more you practice it. Not when you outsource it to machines that do the "cognition" for you.

It is just a Linux device. Other people will install NixOS on it anyway, and use specializations if the whole idea of swapping device roles in-and-out is viable. I don't really understand why would the team that already got a full plate decide to also invent a whole new Linux system while they're creating their hardware device.

Instead of re-inventing Linux distributions for FlipperOS on top of Debian. They should just choose to base it on NixOS which already has these "profiles" as a built-in feature called "Specializations" https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Specialisation

New comment by kesor in "Your File System Is Already A Graph Database"

kesor — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 17:43:03 +0000

So you have some folders with markdown files ... which are insanely hard to query without a tool ... impossible to traverse via their relationships ... and you call that a graph database? WHAT?!

Clicked the link expecting to see some tool or method that actually allows graph-like queries and traversals on files in a file system, all I found was some rant about someone on the internet being wrong.

Waste of time.
