> Anyway, this is embarrassing for Anthropic.

Why? A few times in this thread I hear people saying "they shouldn't have done this" or something similar but not given any reason why.

Listing features you like of another product isn't a reason they shouldn't have done it. It's absolutely not embarrassing, and if anything it's embarrassing they didn't catch and do it sooner.

This is SO wrong.

I actually wrote my own simple agent (with some twists) in part so I could compare models.

Opus 4.5 is in a completely different league to Sonnet 4.5, and 3.7 isn't even on the same planet.

I happily use my agent with Opus but there is no world in which I'd use a Sonnet 3.7 level model for anything beyond simple code completion.

1) I would agree that the officer did not try to retreat. But police officers do NOT have a duty to retreat as their line of work requires them to confront suspects - https://scholarworks.umt.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=113...

2. Not relevant as the police officer was being followed and harassed by the motorist and others while attempting to do his job.

3. The police officer was standing in front of the vehicle, unable to see the direction of his tires. He did see the vehicle was shifted into forward and rapidly accelerated. Watch video of the vehicle continuing to accelerate after the shot and then crash down the road a ways.

4. This is probably the strongest element. The police officer had a large vehicle accelerating at him and hit him, but perhaps he could have dodged or gone around it. It is hard to say given he had only one second to make the decision in a heated and dangerous situation, versus all of us arm chair quarterbacking with slow motion video.

5. The police officer could not see the tires of the vehicle, but he could see the vehicle being accelerated towards him. His belief was probably reasonable.

I don’t think this is really true… you can choose to opt in to this limitation, and in return you can play certain games that have this type of anti-cheat. Or, you can choose to not opt in, and then you can’t play those particular games.

The only thing Microsoft is preventing you from doing on your own PC is having Microsoft lie to the other piece of software.

I've used both CC and OpenCode quite a bit and while I like both and especially appreciate the work around OpenTUI, experience-wise I see almost no difference between the two. Maybe it's because my computer is fast and I use Ghostty, but I don't experience any flickering in CC. Testing now, I see typing is slightly less responsive in CC (very slightly: I never noticed until I was testing it on purpose).

We will see whether OpenCode's architecture lets them move faster while working on the desktop and TUI versions in parallel, but it's so early — you can't say that vision has been borne out yet.

Claude Code supports a set of flags to control behaviour such as permissions, and both `--permission-mode bypassPermissions` and `--dangerously-skip-permissions` are examples of those.

The claude-run helper supports passing in those flags supported by Claude Code itself that are relevant to a shell-scripting like context.

It also adds a couple of convenience flags (`--aws`, `--azure`, `--vercel`, `--vertex` for cloud API key use).

No, they’re not the same, and (2) is very relevant.

Let me reiterate: Ukraine is a sovereign nation with a sovereign military that has the ability to enforce restrictions within its own territory.

To bring your bad analogy more in line with reality on the ground, imagine if Ukraine was still part of/occupied by the USSR/Russia, and Russia enforced press restrictions across all of Ukrainian territory during a Ukrainian insurgency. However, in this theoretical USSR, Ukrainians did not get Soviet citizenship, and were under a total blockade.

> The only major difference is that Ukraine is >1000x larger, and has safe areas far from any fighting where such press restrictions aren't needed.

But Israel never allowed press into the strip, even during “ceasefire” periods - like right now! This implies that Israel is not somehow paternalistically concerned for press safety; it simply wants a media blackout.

So no, this “major difference” is irrelevant when comparing restrictions between the two conflicts.

If I wanted that, I'd remarry my ex.

She didn't believe in me all that much, but was an R.N. and therefore pretty level-headed and never hallucinated.

Gave me a wonderful daughter, so I remain on good terms.

Computer don't do that!

I do have a very regular diurnal cycle. I wake for sunrises. Got a fine one this morning. Not easy to throw on a jacket and Birks so early and chilly, but Mother Nature so often puts on a light show.

Nothing artificial!
Show HN: Beam – The most private way to share files
by anhldbk | 2026-01-09 04:50:26+00:00
Ever needed to send a file to someone standing right next to you, but didn't want to use email or a cloud server?

Check out Beam. It turns your screen into a data stream, allowing you to transfer files securely to another device using just your camera. It works completely offline, meaning your data never leaves the room.

Simple, secure, and surveillance-free.

Give it a try: https://get-beam.vercel.app

Mountain Dew and Twinkies are bad for your health regardless of your income level. We should tackle unhealthy eating by going after the supply, not by going after a class-segmented group of consumers.

Like many Americans, I grew up in a town where unhealthy eating was a major part of the social rhythms of life: a bag of buttery popcorn at the movie theater, an ice cream at the zoo, things like that. Not having the means to participate in these simple pleasures is a kind of social deprivation. I view redistributive programs as a tool to lessen the gap between families. Food regulators can handle the junk food problem.

Why should Bose not get credit for this? If you are saying that people should treat them the same regardless of whether they listen to their consumers or not, then why would they ever bother listening to the consumers?

Also remember that there is no believer like a convert. A community helping guide a company towards open source culture could make for a very strong ally.

Then again I know nothing about Bose’s open source culture so take it with a grain of salt.

We have cars like the Suzuki Jimny here in Australia but they kinda shit themselves on the highway because for some reason Suzuki just didn't feel like adding an extra gear in. They tend to sit around 3-4k revs on the highway in top gear which is a bit much. Love the form factor though. They really excel around super old suburbs close the cities with small cramped streets and a lot of hills like west of Brisbane.

> I do think British ancestry is underreported because of an exoticism bias but we can ignore that.

That's fair but I'll also point out that pan-Germanic (including Nordic) ancestry is actually the majority in many Midwest and West coast states, while the northeast is obviously very Anglo.
So you can get a very different impression depending where you spend your time.

Looks like cool stuff, cheers. Always interesting to learn about new ways of organizing. The great thing is if the world is free enough we can all experiment with different structures if others will agree to experiment with us. But these do sound like they fall into the social side of the dichotomy of social focused versus product focused that I mentioned. The author of the post was trying to be in both at the same time which I think is hard to do.
by ComplexSystems | 2026-01-09 04:56:33+00:00
I don't think this is odd at all. This situation will arise literally hundreds of times when coding some project. You absolutely want the agent - or any dev, whether real or AI - to recognize these situations and let you know when interfaces or data formats aren't what you expect them to be. You don't want them to just silently make something up without explaining somewhere that there's an issue with the file they are trying to parse.

> EAC and Battleye

They may be partnering with them but support for competitve titles is rather limited. For example, the most prominent Battleye title (iirc), Rainbow Six Siege, is not support on Linux via Steam due to Battleye blocking it. Valorant, LoL, BF6 or CoD also don't work ime.

I work in a large conservation organization focused on rare plant conservation.

iNaturalist is sometimes used by our ecologists/biologists as a starting point for collating occurrence data.

The iNaturalist data itself is likely specifically being pulled from gbif. Then they go private/specialty databases that have more spatially and taxonomically accurate records.

But iNaturalist data is often not considered high quality enough to be publishable by itself (wide brush statement) in my field of plant conservation.

We've tried to have some conversations with iNaturalist and they weren't really interest in talking, gave me pause on what their motives as an organization are.

But conservation tools are few and far between, and iNaturalist is a really powerful tool for initial data exploration.

Because the value proposition that has people pay Anthropic is that it's the best LLM-coding tool around. When you're competing on "we can ban you from using the model we use with the same rate limits we use" everyone knows you have failed to do so.

They might or might not currently have the best coding LLM - but they're admitting that whatever moat they thought they were building with claude code is worthless. The best LLM meanwhile seems to change every few months.

They're clearly within their rights to do this, but it's also clearly embarrassing and calls into question the future of their business.
by oldhead | 2026-01-09 05:02:49+00:00
This headline is misleading. EDIT: Or rather was, at it has now been edited to be accurate.

You can still bring your own Anthropic API key and use Claude in OpenCode.

What you can no longer do is reverse engineer undocumented Anthropic APIs and spoof being a Claude Code client to use an OAuth token from a subscription-based Anthropic account.

This really sucks for people who want a thriving competitive market of open source harnesses since BYOK API tokens mean paying a substantial premium to use anything but Anthropic's official clients.

But it's hard to say it's surprising or a scandal, or anything terribly different from what tons of other companies have done in the past. I'd personally advise people to expect everything about using frontier coding models becoming much more pay-to-play.

> It's that we're paying more for objectively worse service than we had a decade ago.

> I'm not asking for magic, I'm asking where went the reliability we already had, at the prices we're already paying.

My god thank you! My partner and I have been talking about this for the past 2 years in the context of food service and delivery service industry.

Greater than 50% of all our restaurant orders are straight up wrong or missing items, whether it’s from local places, chains, or fast food restaurants.

The unreliability is staggering, especially because we’re paying so much more!

It’s gotten so bad that we’re done with certain services and establishments for good now, or we make sure to QC before leaving the restaurant to ensure everything is in the bag.

Even more ironic, this happened a couple weeks ago at Texas Roadhouse — the same restaurant I worked in decades ago as a teenager, so I remember the process we had to go through for to-go orders.

First, we’d take the order over the phone. We’d repeat the order back to the customer to confirm everything (1st QC). When the food came up in the window, we’d pack the food in bags, crossing off every item on the receipt before stapling it to the bag (2nd QC). When the customer came to pick up their food, we’d have to take every box out of the bag, show the customer the food, and confirm that everything they expected in their order was there (3rd QC).

No customer. Every left. With an incorrect order. Simple.

That process is gone now. We paid more and came home missing my partner’s meal. Wtf.

> It's revealing that you're repeatedly framing your decision as someone else's

Yes it's revealing that I was confused about how HN works.

I did flag it, and I don't deny that. I explained in another comment how I thought it was 70/30 off/on topic. However my confusion stems from the fact that I thought moderators made the final decision to flag a submission. I just read about it and now realize that users drive flagging which alerts moderators and then they choose whether to set it as dead. At least now that's how I think it works.

So yes, a lot of my comments didn't make any sense. All of my interpretation of the guidelines I stand by, but my misunderstanding about the flagging mechanism totally skewed a bunch of my comments and I no longer agree with them. If I could, I would edit them.

> Older UIs were built on solid research. They had a ton of subtle UX behaviors that users didn't notice were there, but helped in minor ways. Modern UIs have a tendency to throw out previous learning and to be fashion-first.

Yes. For example, Chrome literally just broke middle-click paste in this box when I was responding. It sets the primary selection to copy, but fails to use it when pasting.

Middle click to open in new tab is also reliably flaky.

I really miss the UI consistency of the 90s and early 2000s.

This advice is what gets you killed, police have no duty of care, they can kill you and attempt to claim qualified immunity. If you don’t defend yourself if illegal force is used against you, and let a jury of your peers resolve your freedom, you’ll end up dead on the street with no recourse (which is arguably worse). Compliance means potential death when the law is irrelevant to the aggressor.

Documenting police activities in public is constitutionally protected. If their job is too hard for their wages, the job is not for them. They protect property, they don’t protect citizens from violence the vast majority of the time. US Supreme Court precedent is they are not required to protect anyone. How many cops sat outside Uvalde while a school shooter rampaged for 77 minutes killing kids? 376.

Based on the author’s blog posts stating their political and gun ownership thoughts, they should potentially reevaluate their advice from somewhere beyond their lived experience and privilege, and that blind compliance will not protect one’s life in these circumstances. It applies up until the point you believe you’re going to be harmed beyond what is legally permitted, at which point whether they are law enforcement goes out the window. They’re just another human. Evidence is robust around police violence misconduct (citations below).

Hey! Thorsten Ball here. Thanks for the shout-out. I was quite confused when someone sent me this article: same "Emperor has no clothes", same "it's only x hundred lines", implements the same tools, it even uses the same ASCII colors when printing you/assistant/tool. Then I saw the "January 2025" in the title and got even more confused.

So, thanks for your comment and answering all the questions I had just now about "wait, did I wake up in a parallel universe where I didn't write the post but someone else did?"

> I suspect it’s closer than you think!

It's not.

I've done this (although not with all these tools).

For a reasonable sized project it's easy to tell the difference in quality between say Grok-4.1-Fast (30 on AA Coding Index) and Sonnet 4.5 (37 on AA).

Sonnet 3.7 scores 27. No way I'm touching that.

Opus 4.5 scores 46 and it's easy to see that difference. Give the models something with high cyclomtric complexity or complex dependency chains and Grok-4.1-Fast falls to bits, Opus 4.5 solves things.

Devices want to be portable. the competition for weight and size is very high. It's ironic how as usage of phones increased considerably with social apps, people seem to not have a problem with thicker iPhones for larger battery. The current iPhone 17 Pro is a chonk that would probably have been considered bulky and backwards 10 years ago.

The trends decide the standard. Many EVs use 18650 but I can see that for competition and weight reduction they may switch to a more proprietary standard like blade batteries in BYD for competition. It all depends on where the competition is going with it.

For earwear, I would say that portability and weight is a big area for competition.

This is entirely used for anticheat purposes. Ergo, if you want to play with other people in a multiplayer setting, you're required to abide by certain rules: some logical and social, some technical. It's a careful balance between a fully locked down platform (Xbox/PS OS) and just zero measures to prevent cheaters. (No, server-side anticheat is not sufficient, as proven countless times)

You're free to use your hardware as you wish, but if you want to disable the Secure Kernel et al, don't be surprised if the gameserver rejects your connection.

We're hearing two extreme interpretations of what happened from at least two political sides. Only one video was initially shown.

But there were multiple persons filming the incident, the police vehicles nearby likely had cameras and likely some officers had body cameras as well. And there may be surveillance video cameras on buildings too.

In the end, the investigation will likely show that neither of the two extreme interpretations currently polarizing public opinion is correct.

Fair take for nontrivial projects.

Buuut with Go one in general tends to reach less for dependencies so less likely to run into this and cgo is not go ;) https://go-proverbs.github.io

but for cross-compiling actually ended up filtering out the liconv flag with a bash wrapper and compiled a custom zig cc version with the support for exported_symbols_list patched in, things appear to work.

Should look into cross-rs I suppose. Hope it's not one of those "download macos sdk from this unofficial source" setups that people seem to do. Apparently not allowed by Apple.

I bought one of these on Amazon last week for $25:

https://www.waveshare.com/esp32-c6-touch-lcd-1.47.htm

I've been really impressed. It's basically a hackable Fitbit with no strap or battery. Full wifi, BLE, 6-axis motion. It's was really easy to get the C demos running. LVGL is awesome. Can't speak to Rust. I get enough of that complexity in my day job.

Other brands that look good for beginners are Elecrow and Makerfabs.

I specifically wanted to get into RISC-V, but they all have boards for other architectures as well.

The article makes a claim that it is no better in Canada and proceeds to remark about financial conditions. The mail is being delivered just fine, just not profitably.

I've not had issues with the USPS, but I don't doubt that it is getting worse. Private delivery (Amazon and the like) has been pretty much flawless. Order from McMaster, and it almost invariably arrives within two days (continental US)

I just don't experience what the author is getting at.

You’re absolutely correct! I was totally hooked by the intro—the kind that promises Forbidden Wisdom™—and then I made it about halfway before my attention quietly left the chat. The random bolding of almost every other word felt like getting yelled at by typography. I wasn’t reading anymore; I was flinching. And sure, I can tell there’s a ton of human effort in there, but the overall vibe? Very “AI but with a human supervisor.” Polished, eager, slightly over-explained, and aggressively formatted. I’m sure it’s useful. I just couldn’t finish.

I mean I think there's a pretty stark difference between a charity feeding the poor and an app startup (even a non-profit one). So stark that it feels almost weird writing this comment, but I'll take your question at face value. Okay, here's a few:

- Decisions at a charity feeding the poor are likely less controversial and binary in nature than decisions for a product focused app organization. If people are making a lot of decisions bottom-up at the charity, as long as more people are getting fed, it's probably fine as long as it's not chaos. In a product-focused organization you need to make binary decisions: will we use this app icon design or that one? Will we have one app for professionals and one for laypeople or a unified app? Will we use SVM or a neural network? Somebody ultimately has to be the decider on these binary decisions. They cannot all be bottom-up decisions if you want to have a cohesive vision for the product.

- If you're feeding the poor you're probably a charity or a government. People who work for a charity or a government are more likely to be motivated by the common good. So they don't need as much extrinsic motivation from leadership. An app startup, even a non-profit one (which I guess can be technically a charity), is going to have workers who are also motivated by money (yes even if it's a non-profit, they have other high paying options), technical decisions, and sure the mission too. I have a couple friends who have hopped around between non-profit software organizations due to these non-mission reasons. Corralling those motivations often requires a different management mindset than working with people who are just happy to be there.

- If you're feeding the poor you're probably a charity or a government and you therefore probably need to answer to your donors or voters. You need full transparency. This was an app startup, albeit a non-profit one. It doesn't really answer to anyone except who it gets grants from and even then is not fully transparent/open (has a proprietary machine learning model).

These are just a few but do you really think any governance structure can just be applied to any organization? They're not all compatible.
