Quit shifting the goal posts. Musk is a Nazi. Or fascist human garbage if you prefer. xAi is low hanging fruit on the “don’t give money to terrible people” tree. The guy is such an easy target for boycotting.

I suppose that’s fair. I also think it’s okay for a game that’s been around as long as magic has to change a bit. Maybe an agree to disagree situation.

I’m “uhm acshually”-ing a bit.

The MLP cards aren’t legal in any format and Transformers, legal in commander yes, was a very small set.

You can’t deny the popularity of the Final fantasy set. Selling that well indicates a desire.

I don’t think the small secret lair releases deserve the hate.

Wizards is still committed to making in-universe sets. The first novel in years was just published with the release of strixhaven. Every in-universe set has come with a short-story/novella length addition on the official site.

FWIW, I don’t love the marvel collab and I don’t think it fits at all. But I’m sure someone does.

I think criticism should be focused on the actual design and mechanics of sets rather than the IP. Since Wizards is committed to both their own and others. The latest Marvel set for example enables way more infinite combos in standard and is an example power creep gone bad.

I am in the USA.

I’m glad that people are having a good time with the World Cup. Truly.

I know I’m feeling negative at the moment.. but this feels like the “have you tried yoga?” of your president started 2 wars, continues to undermine public health, got a lot of people killed, Congress has completely failed and is complicit in the wrongdoing. It’s bad..

- My country's descent into fascism.

- The rights of my children being legislated away.

- The people that could do something about it have chosen not to.

- Any time I talk about the above, I feel like I'm shouting into the void and no one cares, either in-person or on the internet.

- I still have to go to work tomorrow.

It’s been very validating in this thread to see everyone questioning the massive token spend of influencers and the like.

The opencode-go sub, at $10/mo, is amazing value. I’ve been using that and the assistant kagi offers for web-chat and research for months. For the smallish projects I work on at home those have been great.

I was about to ask why someone would reach for CLIPS over implementing their own rules engine in the language of the rest of the application (I did this once).

It’s answered on the same site. https://ryjo.codes/articles/forgoing-implicity-using-abstrac...

Thank you for sharing! A lot of good stuff here!

I know the author specifically did not use a rules engine in their simulation because of uncertainty on how it would affect it.

I do still wonder if adapting something like card forge for llm use would result in engaging gameplay with an llm.

A lot of the commenters here say they’re running Claude or other harnesses inside a VM or with various permissions and levels of access.

Am I weird or missing something using pi as my regular harness with gpt models or kimi in essentially yolo mode with mostly all system access? I haven’t experienced negative consequences of this.. yet.. and I don’t know I’d if I will? I don’t think I’m ever letting an agent run For more than 5 minutes before it’s done with the current small task.

- A telegram bot that messages me in the morning and afternoon with a todo list essentially. It’s connected to Google Calendar and a crude memory database (SQLite). The kids wanted me to make it sound like the character Yarnaby from Silksong.

- Automated backups of steam saves for when my kids wanted to play the same game on my account and saves get out of sync with steam cloud. The kind of thing I wouldn’t usually bother with myself.

- automated script that reruns failed GitHub actions in repositories with flakey tests ‘cause why bother fixing them? It also auto catches up branches with the main branch for the repo.

- a YNAB extension for pi (agent harness) to help with entering purchases that need to be split across categories. This is also in the telegram bot so I can use voice-to-text to explain a purchase.

- I already had some python scripts to generate pdfs of Magic: The Gathering cards for printing proxies. I had an llm extend it to make some dividers with the set names and symbols on them. Makes organizing them a lot easier in the big card boxes.

y'know I did make an assumption there.. I want to believe my fellow HN readers know the difference.

I have to wonder if settling on the term "AI" for these tools has caused the average person to overestimate the capabilities of them. Anyone in tech and tech-adjacent industries knows the difference and that we shouldn't be calling LLMs AI. And that a true AGI is not possible with this technology.

Would this lawsuit even be a thing?

That and DeSantis is probably still eyeing a presidential run in 2028 and this will win him some points with his base. This lawsuit is absurd.

What’s the difference between the two Pro plans?

Both Pro plans include the same core capabilities. The main difference is usage allowance: Pro $100 unlocks 5x higher usage than Plus (and 10x Codex usage vs. Plus for a limited time), while Pro $200 unlocks 20x usage than Plus.

I've been pretty satisfied using oh-my-openagent (omo) on opencode with both opus-4.6 and gpt-5.4 lately. The author of omo suggests different prompting strategies for different models and goes into some detail here. https://github.com/code-yeongyu/oh-my-openagent/blob/dev/doc... For each agent they define, they change the prompt depending on which model is being used to fit it. I wonder how much of the "x did worse than y for the same prompt" tests could be improved if the prompts were actually tailored to what the model is good at. I also wonder if any of this matters or if it's all a crock of bologna..

I find it difficult to believe that someone with enough technical knowledge to run a Linux desktop for business purposes in 2026 would be reliant on the MS Office suite. Other people have given plenty of technical reasons for the difficulty. I don't think it’s a useful goal to get them running when practical alternatives like libreoffice exist.

We tried with "hybrid" diapers for all three of our kids, a cloth shell with a disposable liner. They worked, but they're still a lot of extra work. We always kept disposables on hand for when we couldn't keep up. Our second and third kids are twins (2 for 1!!) and that was a lot harder to keep up with. And I ran into problems where I didn't set the diaper right and they would leak overnight, making more work. We had to give up on cloth just to stay sane. I guess my point is, yes, try it if you're able to. But also when you've got a new baby, do what you gotta do for your health, physical and mental, so you can take care of your family.

Even if this is true, it doesn't justify breaking the interface for keyboard/mouse users. They're big enough to handle both cases.

In this case, it isn’t a false claim.

The author only needs to show up to court with a driver’s license to prove their identity. The judge would rule in favor of the author the same day if someone from Google actually bothered to show up.

A scammer isn’t going to court. Don’t try to solve for that.
