Another LifeOS? There are plenty of things called LifeOS now. At the simple end, there's ChatGPT plus scheduled tasks. Then there are Obsidian templates and manually maintained knowledge bases—I wrote about that more old-school approach in an earlier article on knowledge management . Add AI to an existing setup and you get something like Compass . At the other end are larger collections of tools, such as danielmiessler/LifeOS . None of them quite felt right for me. ChatGPT can remind m...

BooleOS is a hobby operating system for x86 (32-bit), written in C99 and NASM, no Linux or BSD underneath, no libc. It boots via Multiboot2, has its own heap manager (no raw malloc), a FAT16/VFS layer, and a cooperative scheduler so far. Repo: https://github.com/BooleSystems/BooleOS The actual premise I don't write the code. I direct Claude Code, review every diff, and decide what gets built next, but the implementation, every commit, is AI-generated. This isn't a detail ...

Verdict: Vane, the project formerly known as Perplexica, wins for privacy, price, and anyone who already runs their own hardware. Perplexity wins for zero-setup answer quality. If you have a Docker host and a 7B-or-larger model served by Ollama, Vane gives you a cited, Perplexity-style answer engine for nothing per month, and your queries never leave your network. If you have no hardware and no appetite for a Compose file, Perplexity's free tier plus Pro at $20/month ($17/month billed annually,...

Verdict: Gemini 3.8 Flash at high thinking effort wins on cost and turnaround; Claude Opus 4.6 stays the pick for long-horizon agentic persistence and very large single outputs. If you are asking which LLM is best for coding on cost and turnaround, the answer today is Gemini 3.8 Flash at high thinking effort. In our own controlled run, it matched Claude Opus 4.6 exactly on machine-checked instruction following while finishing in roughly a third of the wall time and costing a fraction as much pe...

AI in software testing can push coverage up while missing the bug that matters. During our account-deletion work , a coding agent produced an implementation and passing tests. Further testing exposed a gap: a failed subscription lookup was being treated as “no active subscription”. The application allowed deletion when it could not establish whether the account was eligible. We agreed that deletion should be blocked in that situation and added a regression test. Reviewing its assertions r...

I built a tool to explore HN topics and how they change over time. Currently covers 2024 to today. Is it useful? What's missing? Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49844497 Points: 27 # Comments: 6

Hi everyone, I am KD - Back in my college days, I dabbled with coding, learned the basics, HTML, CSS etc. but somehow I ended up in Finance which consumed the next 20 years. Then, during covid I picked up coding again, learned react, typescript, etc - even built a rudimentary site - and then came the chatgpt moment, followed by Claude etc. So, as a side project, considering that I had spent 20 years in finance and M&A I started building Ekselio, loveable for finance workflows. Differently fr...

New empirical follow-up: Part 2 compares seven trainer configurations on Qwen3-14B and our DEX gym , with no-think and thinking holdouts, interactive reward curves, and downloadable data. It is a separate experiment from the 27B table below and does not establish a universal trainer ranking. If you only ever train language models on toy math puzzles, reinforcement learning feels simple: did the model output 42? If yes, reward is 1. If no, reward is 0. The moment you try to train an aut...

This is a submission for the Sanity Challenge, Path Two: Vibe-Code Something Strange I'll be straight about this one since the build process is part of what's judged: I didn't build it. I gave Claude Code the challenge and told it to go all out for the win. It picked the idea, wrote every line, ran the newsroom, and kept a build log as it went. What I brought was the save file, about 300 in-game days of a heavily modded colony. What I Built The Estian Tattler is a small-tow...
