New ask Hacker News story: Why people chasing after useless token saving plugins and ignoring real solution

Why people chasing after useless token saving plugins and ignoring real solution 2 by yohji1984 | 0 comments on Hacker News. I wrote a blog yesterday on how useless RTK and Ponytail are on real coding tasks. And published my agent harness long-horizon task benchmarks on 80% real token saving. I just want to know why people just ignore the fact those pulgins are useless and don't care about the real savings? full reports are on my repo: https://ift.tt/dHDVUxa Arm n Harness score Total tokens Modeled cost Rounds Duration No plugin 2 78.85% 6.660M $5.281946 62.5 895s Ponytail 2 80.77% -7.56% -8.87% -9.60% +13.51% RTK 2 76.92% +13.20% +7.18% +44.00% +40.69% Configuration Passes Pass rate Observed tokens Rounds Estimated cost Tura Balanced High 48/60 80.0% 229,695,477 2,017 $221.138 Tura Direct High 39/60 65.0% 75,108,167 969 $99.620 Codex CLI Medium 38/60 63.3% 333,538,349 3,...

Changes: Some letters were removed as they don't make distinct sounds in the language. One letter one sound: cz -> ç ó -> u ch -> h sz -> ş Makes more sense regarding the sound: ą -> ǫ ć -> çь h -> ɠ ń -> nь ś -> şь ł -> w w -> v ź -> zь ż rz -> ȥ Introducing soft sign will allow for more possibilities (e.g. loaning from languages like russian). Introducing separate letter for every soft sign is redundant. ь is to be read as "miękki znak". With my alphabet the orthography of many words have to be changed a lot: żółw -> ȥuwv tchórz -> thuȥ włóczęga -> vwuçęga wolność -> volnoşьçь wąs -> vǫs bohater -> boɠater Notice how much better does orth...

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Are AWS Certs worth getting for experienced Devs?

Ask HN: Are AWS Certs worth getting for experienced Devs? 4 by Gold-Ask-lx | 0 comments on Hacker News. I worked for big tech out of undergrad (mostly frontend/mobile for a few years) moved on to work at a few startups where I naturally switched to do more backend/cloud infrastructure work. I never got a 'formal' education in terms of masters or any kind of certs. Would it be worth it for me to start getting some Certs (like AWS solutions architect - associate/professional) if I want to switch my career towards more solutions design/consultation? I don't know many people personally that went this path. I guess I'm looking to work for reputable agencies or consultancies and get assigned to different clients/projects instead of the usual big tech route of IC for a particular team of a particular company until that company decides to reorg you to another team. Obviously not all Certs have the same value. I think AWS Solutions Architect - Associate would be the most adja...
