Been doing hardcode agent driven coding for the past year. I feel like I now have to test all my code locally with agents reviewing them and ideally testing them. Unfortunately I feel like the traditional CI&#x2F;CD testing is starting to feel like a formality. Would love to know what everyone is doing, and if I&#x27;m not the only one making a mistake.

Ask HN: How do you go from writing code to deploying with agents?

Why is the Open POWER Foundation website a desolate post-apocalyptic wasteland compared to riscv.org?Just ten years ago PowerPC was getting so much love (at least, a little love). What has possessed people who relied on that ecosystem to dump it so wholeheartedly?

I only see 7 posts in the Ask HN section. The other day, there were only 10. Is this due to a cap on Ask submissions, or something else?

I&#x27;m running a an AI fluency assessment tool and after 1800 real users who interact with our chat bot 20-40 minutes; here are some weird things we found out.1. The least AI-fluent professionals overestimated their score by 40 points. The most fluent underestimated by 27. 67 point Dunning-Kruger gap.2. Product managers outscore engineers on AI fluency (59.2 vs 53.7). Applied judgement beats technical knowledge.3. HR people (ironically who make hiring decisions using AI) understand AI the least, with the lowest AI fluency score.4. People consistently say they are good with AI, but 2 out 3 fail to reach even proficient level.5. The average AI fluency score across 1,800 professionals is 48 — squarely in the Developing tier. Most people use AI regularly but without systematic practice.6. Company-wide AI training assumes everyone starts from the same place. The data says starting points vary by 5x within the same team.7. Same company, same tools, same training budget. The gap between the least and most AI-fluent employee in one team was 82 points (15 to 97).If you are sceptical (rightly so) you can review our methodology here: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;aisa.to&#x2F;methodology

Hi HN,I’m considering getting an R9700, budget only for one unit currently. Is there anything useful I can do with local LLMs within its 32G VRAM? I’m also thinking to try and learn building a simple inference engine. Any thoughts?

Ask HN: What can I do with a single R9700?

My take: this notice from DeepSeek might actually be a brilliant marketing move. The logic here is to urge users to ramp up their usage over the next 2 to 3 months. By the time the price hike actually kicks in, newer models will likely have already drawn users away, and whenever DeepSeek drops its next, even stronger model, the new price point won&#x27;t feel nearly as steep. It’s a clever way to dodge the dilemma Kimi and GLM found themselves in. Let&#x27;s wait and see how it plays out.

I just found out about this new American (San Francisco) model today and I&#x27;m currently benchmarking it and, so far, it is outperforming my standard go-to model Qwen3.5:122b and even Sonnet in my benchmarking test. It&#x27;s personality is much better than Qwen and it is more naturally creative when it is designing UIs. I have about 6 more tests to go though.If you&#x27;re interested you can look at my benchmark dashboard here: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;spottedmarley.com&#x2F;arena&#x2F;

Laguna S 2.1:118B-a9B better than Qwen3.5:122B-a10B? So far, yes

I was planning to create an app and launch it in the market but research lead to me places and stumbled upon this term called fractional hiring. what&#x27;s your opinion on this?

GitHub seems to be continuing (1) to deprecate star information. First the stargazers list was hidden from logged-out users, and now the main stargazers link on repo pages has disappeared too. &#x2F;stargazers returns a 404 (2) unless you own the repo.I know many people say stars aren&#x27;t a real signal, but they were: they made it possible to detect signs of bought stars. Some third-party services even showed the geographic distribution of a repo&#x27;s stars so you could judge whether they looked fake.The main point is that whatever reasoning GitHub offers, the outcome is the same: either GitHub is weak against bots, or it would rather control these signals itself, with no way for outsiders to audit them.1. https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=488218032. https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;tirrenotechnologies&#x2F;tirreno&#x2F;stargazers
