Ask HN: Any informed guesses on the actual size/architecture of GPT-5.4 etc.? 2 by dsrtslnd23 | 0 comments on Hacker News. Does anyone have decent intuitions or hard clues on how big models like GPT-5.4, Gemini 3.1, and Opus 4.6 actually are, and how they compare to the best open models like GLM-5? Are they all roughly in the same range now (for example around 1T params, maybe MoE), or are the closed models still much bigger? Also curious about “pro” versions like GPT-5.4 Pro - is that likely a different model, or mostly the same model with more inference-time compute / longer reasoning / better orchestration?

Ask HN: Is GitHub getting less reliable, or is it just me? 3 by _pdp_ | 1 comments on Hacker News. Is anyone else experiencing persistent reliability issues with GitHub on daily basis? Over the past 2–3 months I've been dealing with a steady stream of problems: rate limiting, Copilot instability, major outages, and recurring issues with tunnels and Codespaces. It's become a real productivity concern.

Code-review-graph: persistent code graph that cuts Claude Code token usage 2 by tirthkanani | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN I'm Tirth. I built code-review-graph because I got tired of watching Claude Code re-read my entire codebase on every single task. When you ask Claude Code to review a commit or add a feature, it reads files to understand the codebase. On a small project that's fine. On FastAPI (2,915 files) or Next.js (27,732 files) it scans thousands of files that have nothing to do with your change. You're paying for tokens that add zero value, and more noise makes the review worse. code-review-graph builds a persistent structural map of your code using Tree-sitter. Every function, class, import, call, and inheritance relationship lives in a local SQLite database. When you edit a file or commit, it re-parses only the changed files and their dependants in under 2 seconds. Claude then queries the graph, finds what changed and what depends on it, and reads only th...

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Can I repurpose a Bluetooth voice remote as input device for a PC?

Ask HN: Can I repurpose a Bluetooth voice remote as input device for a PC? 2 by albert_e | 1 comments on Hacker News. I am exploring ways to work with my PC that doesnt involve always sitting at a desk and typing with hands like a cave man. Testing out using Wispr Flow and similar voice inputs -- seems to work fine for some use cases. I also place the laptop on a treadmill sometimes and try to to get some research / browsing / work done. Mouse (trackball) and typing are the current weakest link. are there decent handheld input gadgets that allow simple trackpad / click / scroll up&down / next&previous type of navigation and a push-to-talk voice input? I am looking at cheap remotes for FireTV stick and other streaming boxes that seem to have voice input -- anyway one could hack one of those to do our bidding and pair with a PC?

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Please restrict new accounts from posting

Ask HN: Please restrict new accounts from posting 92 by Oras | 65 comments on Hacker News. I don’t know if I’m the only one, but I see lots of clearly AI generated posts recently in HN and mostly coming from new accounts (green), it is more noticeable in the Show HN section. I wish the team can either restrict new accounts from posting or at least offer a default filtering where I can only see posts from accounts with certain criteria. I don’t want to see HN becoming twitter, which is full of bots and noise, as this would be a really sad day.
