Start your own company. If you’re already doing everything yourself then you don’t need to do it for someone else.

You literally have one of the easiest things to retire to. You can do whatever you want with computers when you retire and for the rest of your life.

If you were an ER doctor and loved saving lives it would be a little harder.

Agreed! I love programming and have a bunch of side projects that realistically will only ever get anywhere close to completion once I'm retired.

Yes, Deepseek even documents how:

https://api-docs.deepseek.com/quick_start/agent_integrations...

I'm not exactly sure what the point of this is. Deepseek already has instructions to use its API with many CLI's including Claude Code directly:

https://api-docs.deepseek.com/quick_start/agent_integrations...

The readme absolutely buries the features that are actually non-trivial: It runs a proxy to switch models mid-session, and does combined cost tracking between Anthropic and other models you might be using. The LLM that wrote the readme never updated the general project description to highlight these features.

Also the author checked in their advertising plan: https://github.com/aattaran/deepclaude/commit/a90a399682defc...

I'm curious how well it actually works. I tried Deepseek with Hermes and Opencode and it seemed extremely bad about using some of the basic tools given, like the Hermes holographic memory tools, even with system prompt instructions strongly pointing them out.

From vibe coders for vibe coders

I don't always copy paste vibe coded project readme mds into Claude code and ask them to rewrite it but when I do... actually that's all I do now because my goal in life is to make wealthy overvalued companies wealthier.

Anthropic is the opposite of wealthy, the more you use their service, the more money they lose. Unless you think your precious MDs being used for training data is gonna make them rich eventually.

Their marginal inference cost is less than what they charge for it. Normally that is considered profitable...

It's not the md files it's how you interact with their agents.

Its vibes all the way down

Problem?

There probably isn't a point. Someone didn't understand something, didn't research it, so they 1 shotted their first thought and sent it to the front page of HN and all of their socials. It's the future bruh

I embrace it at this point. It ends all the shilling of vibe coded tools at work that I have endured over the past year. Everyone can now make their own tools with zero obligation to coordinate beyond shared hardware resources

To be fair, HN sent it to the front page, not the user. The rest I agree.

A project that obviously bought stars on GitHub probably bought upvotes on HN too

How is it obvious that this project bought starts on GitHub?

Same place same time tomorrow?

Also Claude Code is one of the worse CLI, the only good thing is that it's the default for Claude.

I don't see why anyone would want to use it for any other model than Claude instead of OpenCode or Pi.

I thought the tool format wasnt exactly the same ? So plugging any IA into claude code requires a conversion of format

DeepSeek has a dedicated Anthropic-compatible endpoint [1].

[1] https://api-docs.deepseek.com/guides/anthropic_api

This one still lacks some features. They still recommend using their OpenAI compatible endpoint.

But I guess Anthropic is just not capable of implementing the OpenAI API compatible client in Claude Code.

Many of them expose “anthropic-compatible” APIs for this very purpose.

qwen also offers openai compatible endpoint.

It's really getting a lot of upvotes so it's nearly as if people were feeling locked-in and wanted a way out but...

Why would you keep using CC CLI if you want to use the much cheaper DeepSeek v4 models (Flash and Pro): isn't it the opportunity to kiss CC CLI goodbye and use something not controlled by Anthropic?

Anyone here successfully moved from CC CLI to a fully open-source project? I'm asking this as a Claude Code CLI (Sonnet/Opus) user. My "stack" is all open-source: from Linux to Emacs to what-have-you. I'd rather also have open-weight models and a fully open-source (not controlled by a single company) AI CLI.

Any suggestion for something that works well? (by "well" I mean "as well as Claude Code CLI", which is not a panacea so my bar ain't the end of the world either).

CC can use the Flash model for sub-agents and other tasks but keep using the Pro model for the main thread and thinking there. It also has a decent permission system and commands that people are quite used to.

Personally I’d say that the closest alternative you’d get is OpenCode.

They are TUI focused and also do have a web/desktop version, though that’s not quite as good as Claude’s Desktop app (and Claude Code functionality within it) yet. The TUI itself is solid though and they support a lot of different providers and models (/connect and /models).

For GUI driven stuff, I’ve personally had good experiences with KiloCode (in Visual Studio Code, personally I also liked RooCode of which KiloCode is a fork, but that stopped development) or just using the Zed editor with their built in agent.

It does not.

Same except mine was over 30 years ago (an OG TI-85). Still on my desk, still use it almost every day for something or other.

I don't know how the TI-85 compares to the other models without looking it up, but there's a forever soft spot in my heart for mine. It got me through a comp sci degree and still works flawlessly today.

You make your own subscription. If you want to pay $20/month then put $20 into your account. When you use it up, wait till the next month (or buy more).

> You make your own subscription.

I'm asking because with most providers (most egregiously, with Anthropic) it doesn't work that way because the API pricing is way higher than any subscription and seemingly product/company oriented, whereas individual users can enjoy subsidized tokens in the form of the subscription. If DeepSeek only offers API pricing for everyone, I guess that makes sense and also is okay!

The planetary alignment that allowed the Voyager probes to move so fast only occurs every 175 years. Even with this advantage it took them 12 years to get to Neptune. So the short answer is no.

But without the planetary alignment, can't we just rely on brute force ? Better fuel and bigger engines?

The truth is that, as much as people LOVE bringing it up, the alignment was special only because it allowed us to slingshot from body to body with almost no fuel aboard the probe itself.

That's it. Nothing to do with speed. We could launch something that goes way faster right now, if someone wanted to pay for it. Hell, we could have done it 50 years ago.

We didn't because it would go in a straight line towards "nothing".

NASA under Isaacman is newly, more seriously, exploring nuclear propulsion. If they really do pull the trigger, the answer is definitely yes.

New Horizons made it to Pluto in less than 10 years. Technically faster, but still not a year or two.

The next planetary alignment will be in the mid-2150s.

Jon Bois worst video is still better than 99.9% of all videos.

Or they don’t have enough compute to handle the recent influx of traffic. I’m guessing it’s a bit of both.
