> unless there is some reasonable person standard applied here like 'everyone knows Harry Potter, and thus they should know it is obviously not CC0'

Why wouldn't that apply?


I'm not a copyright expert and if you told me that Harry Potter was common domain then I'd probably be a bit surprised but wouldn't think it's crazy. The first book came out 30 years ago after all. On further research the copyright laws are way more aggressive than that (a bit too much if you ask me) but 30 years doesn't seem quick. Patents expire after 20 years.

It would be incredibly naive to assume that a moneymaker like that is PD.

Sherlock Holmes is public domain and there are still shows being announced

The Berne Convention (author's life + 50 years) is the baseline for the copyright laws in most countries. Many countries have a longer copyright period than Berne.

I find this fascinating, as I keep observing that there are pretty widespread differences between what people believe copyright does and what the law actually says.

120Hz is awesome! That was the last feature I personally felt was missing from my M1 Pro MBP.

For me lack of thunderbolt is a showstopper, when it’s supported a lot of needed peripherals will be supported automatically. They have apparently been working on tb support since the m1 was released 4 years ago.

To be frank, TB support on Linux in general is kinda crap. I'm not surprised this might take them a while, and I'm sure it's lower priority compared to other things on the road map

Why 8GB?

just took it as an example

On my system the "right arrow" glyph is 2 units wide and breaks all the layouts.

TIL about ambiguous width unicode characters. Turns out some locales render these chars as double width. I'm attempting to work out a solution.

Seems like maybe there are some universal half-width characters that can be used.

Weird. Same issue with NL-locale @ firefox, while terminal is ok. So it is not confined to East-Asian locales if that is what you think.

Unfortunately even if you pick nominally-equal-width glyphs, on the web you can still get screwed over by font substitution/fallback done by the browser.

First off, let me say it is awesome you're doing something like this.

But... I'm encountering a similar issue on both Chrome and Firefox on Leenucks. I guess it's possible you don't see the problem on your Mac because both these browsers use the OS to do font rendering.


same in my Brave Browser, why not stick to nomal Ascii?

It'd be a bit weird to have the Sonnet numbering ahead of the Opus numbering. The Opus 4.5->4.6 change was a little more incremental (from my perspective at least, I haven't been paying attention to benchmark numbers), so I think the Opus numbering makes sense.

Sonnet numbering has been weirder in the past.

Opus 3.5 was scrapped even though Sonnet 3.5 and Haiku 3.5 were released.

Not to mention Sonnet 3.7 (while Opus was still on version 3)

I like this tree visualization! The background with little squares is making the text difficult to read, though.

Thanks for the feedback friend, updated to make it (hopefully) a little easier to read!

Because Opus 4.5 inference is/was more expensive.

I wonder if some kind of voluntary tagging system could help?

e.g. [20h/2d/$10] could indicate "I spent 20 human-hours over 2 days and burned $10 worth of tokens" (it's hard to put a single-dimensional number on LLM usage and not everyone keeps track, but dollars seem like a reasonable approximation)


I've thought about this. Even in the pre-LLM era, projects were rarely judged by the quality of their source code. READMEs and slick demos were the focus. So in some sense nothing has changed.

The difference now is that there is even less correlation between "good readme" and "thoughtful project".

I think that if your goal is to signal credentials/effort in 2026 (which is not everyone's goal), a better approach is to write about your motivations and process rather than the artefact itself - tell a story.


Unfortunately, demand for silly little side projects is at an all-time low.

I'm debating whether to share the one I'm working on at all. I made it for myself so maybe it should stay that way.


i really want to see the silly little side projects that everybody is making!

not because i think i'll actually use any of them, but because they could inspire me to do something different in my silly little side projects

the goal isn't "product release", it's elementary school "show and tell"


Usually online communities have dedicated days for such things. Like a "side project Sunday" or such, with one large thread.

HN has that every day, and a dedicated section for it: Show HN. Link in the top bar :)

Yeah, but that's not the same, as most readers will just skip over that. What I said is more similar to HN's monthly "who's hiring" threads or "what are you working on" threads. Like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46937696. I find those much more interesting.

Me too! Maybe it should be called "Slop HN:" :)

Do you have a background in reverse engineering?

You literally have a blog post called "AI can only solve boring problems"

Are you just trying to argue for the sake of arguing?


What does my blog post have to do with anything? (But since you mention it - a large part of reverse engineering falls under the "boring" category I define in that article)
