New ask Hacker News story: Bun rewrite and FLT formalization had nearly identical resource usage

Bun rewrite and FLT formalization had nearly identical resource usage 4 by Zsfe510asG | 1 comments on Hacker News. The Bun rewrite took 11 days and used 5.9B tokens: https://ift.tt/iy1CJZO The FLT formalization took 11 days (!) and used 6B tokens. Why the similar numbers? Why are the numbers so low? 6B is just enough for 6 agents at 1000 tokens/s running for 11 days.

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: UK Rescue Rocket Sheds/Houses Information

Ask HN: UK Rescue Rocket Sheds/Houses Information 10 by burnt-resistor | 6 comments on Hacker News. I can't seem to find pictures or significant details (nothing on Wikipedia) about the coastal buildings purportedly used to contain shipwreck rescue rocket apparatus. Many of the buildings still exist and are Grade II listed. Anyone have any additional anecdotal/local/oral tradition information that isn't found in the little blurbs online on the few websites mentioning them?

New ask Hacker News story: Cutting (Claude Code) token spend on dynamic workflows 80%

Cutting (Claude Code) token spend on dynamic workflows 80% 2 by gojkoa | 0 comments on Hacker News. Discovered something very interesting by chance a few days ago, and thought it might be interesting for other people running dynamic workflows with claude code. The workflow scripts themselves are javascript. Claude code knows the format and it can make a tool that composes workflows instead of going through LLM each time. I got it to do that, and with a few more tweaks it got the token spend for workflow execution and monitoring down to about 20% of what it was before, significantly speeding it up (most of our workflows used to take 5-6 hours, they now take 20-40 minutes). We got Claude to analyze the workflows from the past few weeks (the workflow execution is on disk, in ~/.claude/projects) and identify commonalities between them. It turned out to be effectively 3 kinds of workflow steps, done in a million ad-hoc ways. - a code change agent/implementer/worker - this takes a task fr...

New ask Hacker News story: MITx is ending access to its courses for learners in Iran on September 8

MITx is ending access to its courses for learners in Iran on September 8 4 by mahdihabibi | 1 comments on Hacker News. I received an email from MITx today saying that, following changes announced by the U.S. Department of the Treasury on August 24, MITx will no longer be able to provide course access or related services to people in Iran or ordinarily resident in Iran. The cutoff is September 8, 2026. This is just sad. MITOCW has been my primary resource for learning engineering math and has been absolutely amazing. I wonder if I can keep using it using a VPN. And what will happen to those who already enrolled in a course?
