Can we still pay ? I have some shooping to do during my lunch break and I don't want to feel stupid without a way to pay at the checkout.

Absolutely not. I know Elon retweet them a lot when Grok is good. This is how I discover the company.

I like to follow them and look for benchmark for each LLM release.

Noob question: what's the purpose of having so many request libraries? In JavaScript it's crazy, but in Python it's starting to feel the same: requests, httpx, httpx2...

From my perspective, HTTP requests have been mastered for years (decades?). What's the point of switching libraries? What's so extraordinary about the new HTTP library that makes requests look crap?

I understand that new protocols appear from time to time (like HTTP/2), but that's very rare. And if there are performance differences between two libraries, are they really that huge? Even if they are, 99% of people don't need that boost. What prevents someone from just improving the existing library's performance?

The DHH hate is absolutely crazy on HN.

I don't understand how people can be so out of touch.

Grok Build sucks compare to composer 2.5. Just use compose 2.5 and you'll have basically unlimited usage on the 40$ plan.

Compose 2.5 is the default model in Grok Build. And it's quite incredible. It's comparable to Opus 4.7 but faster and incredibly cheaper .

I’ve just started a new app with an Elm frontend. I’m using Grok Build, and it integrates really well.

The compiler is incredibly helpful because it catches errors and gives clear explanations and the LLM can iterate over it. I’ve also added the elm-review package with the default configuration, which is fantastic for ensuring code quality.

I don't know how they do this, but Paris is full of Americans living there.

I think they stay for a few months. Maybe they just don't tell their company and the company still think they are working in the same place.

Americans enjoying their huge American salaries while working remotely from poor European countries
