Good HN blog article on using LLMs at a slower pace: using multiple agents on the same PR to surface issues, then reviewing and filtering the comments yourself, is a pretty sensible way to trade speed for better code. https://nolanlawson.com/2026/05/25/using-ai-to-write-better-code-more-slowly/

I'm still thinking about the result by OpenAI solving a real conjecture. How much of it is LLMs capability of being good at everything vs doing something really inspired? Or that they probably tried pretty much all major unsolved problems and got lucky on one? Or maybe I'm coping 🙃

Google reportedly auto-updated Antigravity from an IDE into a standalone chat app, broke side-by-side installs, and had people purging binaries to get the old IDE back. Good writeup here. https://www.0xsid.com/blog/antigravity-bait-n-switch

OpenAI must be pissed they just got passed by Anthropic in valuation right as they're gearing up for an IPO. Great timing. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/05/20/openai-ipo-filing.html

Is this the new exciting world of SEO, hacking Google's AI Overview so one false claim gets repeated at scale? Pairs well with Google making AI Overviews the default. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20260519-google-tackles-attempts-to-hack-its-ai-results

Every time Google's pronounced dead in the AI race, they release something like Gemini 3.5 Flash today. It beats some flagship models while still being the fast, cheaper tier. Still odd they don't match OpenAI or Anthropic on release cadence given their cash flow.

ByteDance just released a 3B unified model that's competitive across image, video, editing, and understanding. Multimodal seems to come for free now? https://huggingface.co/bytedance-research/Lance

Anthropic acquired Stainless, the SDK and codegen behind its client libraries. Points in a familiar direction: more of the API layer pulled in-house, less neutrality in the tooling stack, tighter control over how developers integrate. https://www.anthropic.com/news/anthropic-acquires-stainless

Claude 500 errors again. Maybe I should spend the time to properly investigate OpenCode. So I can at least switch provider when one is down. If only I could run claude on it 🙄

SWE profession is saved, I found something that I'm better at than Claude. It tends to say 1 day of work and finish in 5 minutes. My estimates are typicall better but wrong in the other direction.

Progress bar on compacting.. amazing progress. But seriously, why don't we have an option for amortized background compaction? Sometimes there's just a stream of related simple things to do and I can't be bothered to micro manage context.

I'm returning to an old codebase after 6 years. I wish I had someone else to blame for all of this. The lack of LLM comments feels refreshing… though they would've been useful.

Released v1 of Kumulant: a Kotlin/KMP library for streaming statistics. It summarizes data streams without buffering, using sketches, histograms, and rolling moments with tunable concurrency. github.com/eignex/kumul... #Kotlin #KotlinMultiplatform #DataEngineering #StreamProcessing

Conventional wisdom: typed schemas and serialization formats are separate concerns. I tried. They wanted to be the same thing. Designing one shape for both typed Kotlin and YAML deleted a translation layer I'd quietly planned to build. eignex.com/posts/one-sh...

Hi, I'm Rasmus. Head of engineering by trade, building Eignex on the side: open-source infrastructure for optimization loops in production. Posting here as I build it. eignex.com/posts/building-eignex-in-the-open/ #buildinpublic #opensource

Every "AI makes us dumber" take has been made about calculators and search engines. The panic is half right: tools change what we bother to remember. The new variable is that this one ships inside an engagement loop built to keep you using it. eignex.com/posts/writing-the-loss-function/ #AI #LLMs
