>it’s also that company’s responsibility

Is it? I mean legally. Obviously it’s dumb of Apple to have left this guys access open, but that doesn’t mean they actually had any legal responsibility to lock him out. As far as I understand, the law is pretty clear that you can’t access anything you’re not allowed to by policy, whether there’s a technical block or not.

It does. Claude has a built in review and it’s pretty good. But it doesn’t know exactly what you want. This is a way to tell it.

Good way to double your token use though, if you’re concerned about that.

Is this a submarine marketing post for some commercial project, or just a fun thing you wanted to do?

i mean, they're succeeding. whether it's coordinated or not the conclusion is the same.

but i think "linux distributions are dangerous" is the wrong conclusion. the right one is to treat each distribution based on their own security practices, and not "linux" as a whole. one distro's bad practices doesn't make others unsafe any more than one distribution's good practices make other safe.

>planning tasks though. I think that's what Fable is for.

this is how i've been using it, and where i've found it really excels over anything else i've tried. get fable to write a plan, and get something cheaper to follow the plan. the code fable writes isn't significantly better than the code opus writes, as long as they're both following the same plan. but a plan written by fable is much better.

i'm not sure all those "installs on actual phones" in china are real - 107k installs all on the same device, vs ~30k installs on the next most popular device. and 150k devices on an unknown carrier. is the Xiaomi Mi 8 really that popular for lineageOS, or is this some measurement artifact or common emulation setup?

Using something third party isn’t free - even for zero monetary cost there’s integration cost, documentation, support, and maintenance uncertainty.

The choice between rolling your own and third party is already a trade-off. The future uncertainty around third party services without a clear business just tips the scales, it’s not the whole justification.

Yeah, we rolled our own auth as well. Everybody says you shouldn’t, it’s a risk, etc etc.

but to me that’s less risk than our auth getting bought by somebody whose business goals don’t necessarily align with mine.

Amazon doesn’t care what you do, piracy isn’t a threat to Amazon, they just want to deliver the drm that the publishers demand in the easiest way possible. And they’ve made a fairly reasonable business decision that a customer who hasn’t bought a new kindle in ~15 years isn’t an important source of revenue worth supporting old devices for.

And yeah, it sucks. But it’s the ecosystem you bought into when you bought a kindle. This is what drm does. If you care about open systems, support them.

i've yet to see a case where opus "ignores whatever it likes".

opus will definitely ignore instructions if you give it contradictory instructions, or a plan that has steps that obviously don't work with each other. but if you give it a coherent plan, it will follow it.

>But I also hate the "you had one job" meme and want to argue against its mindless usage

the "you had one job" meme could pretty much always be followed up by "because i refused to consider the actual complexity of your job"

I don’t think that’s true. Some people really do have product ideas that they want to share with the world.

The problem is that those people are really bad at making money, and have a hard time competing with the people whose motivation is money.

Not similar at all, as explained in the article below the headline.

Is this talking to claude code, or to claude api (and paying api rates)? programatically routing requests through claude code sounds like a good way to get banned, just like the opencode and openclaw users.

You don’t need to detect it, you just need to incentivize employees and competitors to snitch on companies using unapproved models.

this is the backup strategy. the "AI doesn't pan out" scenario is basically if claude and openai go bankrupt, we continue running local models on our hardware.

there isn't a future where we all just decide that nah, we don't want AI anymore. usefuly things don't disappear.

it's just a thing to show off in their trade show booth.

maybe there will be some engineer on the project who learns something useful while working on this that can be applied to some actual project, but this is pretty clearly not an actual product that they intend to sell in anything more than single-digit quantities

locally on what hardware? something like the new dgx spark, ryzen halo, or mac studio will cost you ~ $4k plus whatever you pay for power. at the rate AI is currently progressing, i think you'd be optimistic to consider that as having a 2 year depreciation.

for $4k, you can get 20 months of claude max 200. i'd take claude over the hardware.

anthropic will have something to worry about when you can run a local model on your macbook that can code. but i think we're quite a ways off from that.

this is a solved problem on basically any modern tv: HDMI-CEC lets your appletv control your tv without using the tv remote.
