How many people pirating software stole every piece of copyrighted material in existence and then used that material to generate billions of dollars which they kept for themselves?

You can tell Claude Code which model to use for subagents.

For example: https://github.com/monooso/dotfiles/tree/main/.claude/agents

Several such APIs include the equivalent data for US markets in their free tier, for personal use.

I spent the entire day yesterday trying to set up some automated monitoring of my investments, only to discover most UK market information is locked behind stupid-money APIs.

Anything that improves that situation is a positive.

Regardless of whether you're correct, that wasn't the subject of the article.

The real question is, do you know what it means?

Isn't that basically the same as saying court filings should be available, but not to poor people?

> I do feel like for all their dogfooding of AI coding, their own software/APIs are quite buggy...

Or possibly as a result of.

> We're discussing home use.

You may be, but the topic of discussion is whether anyone is using a local model as their main coding tool.

> Parents will get their kids phones worrying that they're missing out.

Again, not a parent, but isn't making difficult decisions in the best interests of your child the entire gig?

Disclaimer: not a parent, as will soon become apparent.

Several people have made the argument that individual parents can't simply cut their children off from social media, as said offspring may be ostracised (or simply look at their friends' phones, assuming they still have any).

That argument makes sense to me, to an extent.

What I don't quite understand is the conclusion that this leaves parents with only two (equally unpalatable) options.

Parents don't have to act individually. They could act as a collective, especially within the context of a small social group.

Is that really such a naive suggestion?

TIL, thank you.

I apologise if using words correctly is obvious and lame.

GP is explicitly criticising the language in the lede as being unsuitably vague, hence my reply.

As to the goal of the article, I fail to see what is dishonourable about comparing LLMs. You may consider the methodology flawed, but it's a perfectly respectable goal.

Sorry, was that another technicality? I'll try to find better material, just for you.

Anthropic clamping down on non-first party clients using their subscription plans may also have something to do with it.

Thankfully, it has been many years since I had to debug Bluetooth drivers (or anything of that ilk) on Linux.

I think you've misunderstood the purpose of a lead (sic).

Per Merriam-Webster [^1], a lede is:

> the introductory section of a news story that is intended to entice the reader to read the full story

(Emphasis mine)

You may prefer more matter-of-fact phrasing, of course, but criticising a lede for attempting to achieve its goal is unjustified.
