Related to this, for our use case, setting thinking to high instead of low made tasks complete faster and cheaper (Gemini 3.0 flash).

Other aspects are caching, often at 0.1X cost, where providers really differ in how efficient they are (Anthropic really good, Google not so much) and how chatty a model is (costing output tokens).

I really like this but feels like it does not really work on a Swedish keyboard layout (macOS), cannot input '$'. Tried both Alt+4 (how you actually input '$') which works in vim and Shift+4 (US layout).

While the accessibility tree is great in many aspects it has its own limitations for example when it comes to stacked views or lazy loading outside the viewport.

Looking at the examples on the front page it reminds me even more about Parse.

The Reuters article title is "Fabric made of Stone" (as it is made of coal and limestone), that is why it came to mind.

This makes me think about Vinylon[1] and this article from Reuters[2]

What kind of tasks do you use it for?

Ask HN: Should we include our tech stack when talking about AI coding tools?

tidbeck — Wed, 29 Oct 2025 17:44:09 +0000

I’ve noticed that when people share how well (or poorly) an LLM works for them, they rarely mention what stack they’re using.

From my experience, the language, framework — and even things like rules, markdowns, MCP servers, and so on — make a huge impact.

It feels like the tech stack brings a lot of valuable context when talking about AI coding tools. So why not include it?

How does this compare to https://huggingface.co/ibm-granite/granite-docling-258M in performance and how they work?

That is why I like the idea of having as much of the documentation as possible in code. Tests that describe how things are supposed to work, infrastructure as code the describes the parts of the system and so on. Then you are forced to keep them up to date.

This is different from the Minimum Deployment, which I current have set to iOS 12.0 in Xcode 16.2.

Could you maybe make use of Simon Willsons [LLM lib/app](https://github.com/simonw/llm)? It has great LLM support (just pass in the model to use) and records everything by default.

Vimium (for Firefox at least) supports custom search engines so you can do:

og my-search

'o' for open and 'g' to select Google as search engine.
