I would argue it’s still unparalleled for recommendations

Coming to this thread late but this makes me want to do a star trek one! Going to be way more difficult to parse through all the competing references to location and distance but I guess we’ll see how big of a trekky I am

Super awesome!

I credit last.fm with showing me a lot of the music I love, it’s the perfect recommendation model and still the best social music platform so I’m definitely rooting for you to improve on it!

Yeah I’ve been doing this with tailscale and a single vps and it’s been wonderful. Unless you’re planning to have millions of users I don’t think there’s any reason to have a cluster.

Maybe they’re assuming some massive amount of compute will be necessary for future tasks? Self hosted LLMs? I’m currently finding it difficult to come up with more uses for my vps beyond hosting trillium and some personal applications I’ve made

Good to hear I might not be paranoid, I could swear I get them far more on my linux desktop than my macbook.

Built an atari punk console using these with my late father. Still have it hanging on my wall in a shadow box.

Not sure if this is bad form but i’ve always loved using jk for escape. It feels so natural to roll your index and middle fingers to get back to normal mode.

I agree, too, besides reminding myself to use numbers before movement commands there was really nothing that felt super hard about vim. It almost disappointed me, I always heard the jokes about not being able to quit it!

Only played around with it but you can use patroni, etcd and HAproxy to achieve this. It’s a pain, but I believe there was some kind of coolify-style open source application to do this for you but I can’t for the life of me remember its name

You’re not alone I was assuming it was 3D graphics as well. Disappointed to see, according to other comments, it’s a wrapper around python bindings to Tauri

Visited Portland, Maine recently and ate at Becky’s Diner there. What a wonderful place, the food was just what you would expect when walking in (and I mean that in the best way).

It made me lament the lack of old school diners where I live. Sometimes you just need a perfectly cooked breakfast and some solid coffee!

Do you happen to have the link?

Ask HN: Anyone know of that "levels of AI programming" blog post?

tuvix — Sat, 18 Apr 2026 18:12:09 +0000

I was browsing HN comments a while ago and ran into a wonderful blog on the levels of AI involvement in programming. It started at 0 I think, with no AI involved and went to around 7 where LLMs direct other LLMs and no human is involved.

I wanted to reference these levels in the README of an open source project I'm creating as part of it was hand-programmed while using AI as a kind of search engine, while another part was crafted by AI with me reviewing code and providing a spec.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Kind of a tangent I guess, but the coolest thing about Star Trek’s universal translator to me was that it could translate new languages mid-conversation with an extremely small amount of data. Makes me wonder how close we might be able to get to that eventually

This is awesome! Last year I was working on a VST using NIH-Plug in Rust that could load in synth voices and effects written in Lua (executed using LuaJIT), this kind of reminds me of some of what I was doing (this is way cooler though).

I take your point, but the AI race is a strange environment. We see wild claims being thrown out all the time from other companies and executives with little to no evidence. It's cut-throat, there's a ton of money at stake.

All I'm saying is that Anthropic isn't unique here. Their claims may be more measured by comparison and come with anecdotal evidence, but the hype is still there behind the scenes.

Just chiming in to inject some healthy skepticism into this comment thread. It's helpful for me (and for my mental health) to consider incentives when announcements like this happen.

I don't doubt that this model is more powerful than Opus 4.6, but to what degree is still unknown. Benchmarks can be gamed and claims can be exaggerated, especially if there isn't any method to reproduce results.

This is a company that's battling it out with a number of other well-funded and extremely capable competitors. What they've done so far is remarkable, but at the end of the day they want to win this race. They also have an upcoming IPO.

Scare-mongering like this is Anthropic's bread and butter, they're extremely good at it. They do it in a subtle and almost tasteful way sometimes. Their position as the respectable AI outfit that caters to enterprise gives them good footing to do it, too.
