You say this like it's a bad thing, but wouldn't you rather they overindex on the danger of their models?

I think Anthropic will launch backend hosting off the back of their Bun acquisition very soon. It makes sense to basically run your entire business out of Claude, and share bespoke apps built by Claude code for whatever your software needs are.

I had the same thought. When you're a B2B and B2C company and you have to make a bold decision, the B wins because they hold the enterprise $$$.

I've always chosen frameworks for their abstractions and their design decisions, rarely their performance. Great research by the author, I feel better about that decision now.

New comment by mindwok in "Ask HN: How is AI-assisted coding going for you professionally?"

mindwok — Sun, 15 Mar 2026 22:39:45 +0000

I quit my job and went out on my own freelancing.

So far, it's been fantastic. I can do more things for clients, much faster, than I ever dreamed would be possible when I've attempted work like this before.

I think the biggest problem with AI coding is that it simply doesn't fit well into existing enterprise structures. I couldn't imagine being able to do anything productive when I'm stuck having to rely on other teams or request access to stuff from the internet like I did in previous jobs.

British democracy and government is cool. It's not enshrined in some document they got together and wrote down like the US constitution, it's this organic thing that they've stumbled towards over the last ~800 years with small changes like this one gradually evolving them into a modern liberal democracy.

They don't need to be impressive to be worthwhile. I like incremental improvements, they make a difference in the day to day work I do writing software with these.

New comment by mindwok in "Google Workspace CLI"

mindwok — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 03:46:07 +0000

They already have a HTTP API, but the real reason is that CLIs are emerging as the most ergonomic way for the current wave of AI agents to do stuff. There's a few benefits over APIs:

- No need to worry about transport layer stuff at all, including auth or headers. This is baked in, so saves context.

- They are self describing with --help and then nested --help commands, way better than trying to decipher an OpenAPI spec. You usually don't even need an agent skill, just call the --help and the LLM figures it out.

New comment by mindwok in "How to talk to anyone and why you should"

mindwok — Sun, 01 Mar 2026 21:12:43 +0000

Would you be bothered if a stranger struck up a nice conversation with you? Most people like it! And even if they don’t, that’s ok, trust people to tell you their boundaries and respect them when they do. Nothing wrong with bothering someone if they tell you or send a strong signal and you respect it.

It’s not articulated in depth because nobody knows what opportunities there are on the other side.

mindwok — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 22:07:05 +0000

What exactly is this? It says it's for Linux, but what makes it "for Linux"? I'm curious which parts of Rosetta are Apple silicone specific and which aren't.

mindwok — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 08:40:35 +0000

LLMs are amazing, I love them, but he is right. When it comes to interacting with your fellow humans, using AI just sucks the point and meaning out of life. If we wanted to know what Claude thought, we’d ask him. Don’t be a mouthpiece for AI.

New comment by mindwok in "Evaluating AGENTS.md: are they helpful for coding agents?"

mindwok — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 08:04:57 +0000

In my experience AGENTS.md files only save a bit of time, they don't meaningfully improve success. Agents are smart enough to figure stuff out on their own, but you can save a few tool calls and a bit of context by telling them how to build your project or what directories do what rather than letting it stumble its way there.

New comment by mindwok in "GLM-5 was trained entirely on Huawei chips"

mindwok — Thu, 12 Feb 2026 05:23:58 +0000

Inferencing with Huawei chips is not new either, they’ve had DeepSeek running on them since last year.

This doesn’t appear to be an official website. The official release only mentions Huawei is supported for inference. So… pretty sure this is not true.

mindwok — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 22:07:43 +0000

The first attempts at hyperconverged were very hardware focused and kinda meh. Nutanix is the best example - they pioneered hyperconverged hardware but the firmware/software was extremely average. Oxide are the first to say "it should just feel like cloud, except you own it" and building for that.

New comment by mindwok in "Ask HN: How can we solve the loneliness epidemic?"

mindwok — Thu, 15 Jan 2026 21:27:05 +0000

It cannot be solved, at least not in the way I think people want it to be.

We’re lonely because we are wired to avoid rejection and uncomfortable social situations, and because technology has given us hundreds of alternatives to sitting in the mess of connecting with people.

You can only solve it in your own life - by being courageous and spending more of your time in the physical world than in the digital one, willing to gro through the shitty feelings that come with being a human trying to meet other humans.

You cannot solve it for other people. There’s no sexy solution here. Meetup.com or whatever dating app or tech platform or not for profit will not fix it, because it takes individuals choosing the hard path and that will never happen en masse.
