How did GitHub ever survive without this telemetry? Was it a web application buried in obscurity?

Maybe Anthropic could fix these 5k reported issue with the current claude-code instead of making hyperbolic claims about their new whizbang model.

Show HN: First-token-only flaw in Claude Code permissions (triage bot too)

Apylon777 — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 13:03:31 +0000

I filed GH issues, and PR fixed on claude-code. I submitted a report on Hackerone, but the triage bot has the SAME category error problem. I got dismissed as "informatiional" because your bot saw my 'rm -rf' example, and dismissed it as an OS problem.

But that is exactly wrong. Allow and deny lists allow DANGEROUS actions like "git cleanup"

Some human needs to read this HN post and my blog post. I've written a bash-guard fix that I use locally, but I CAN'T help everyone else until Anthropic takes my bug report seriously

In most jurisdictions in the USA renewable energy generators are registered and audited by a third party, (like mrets.org where I work). Anomalies with generation data can be compared directly with data from the grid operators. Utilities will also require these commercial operations to have a "commercial energy meter" which are very expensive.

Thank you so much for making this. I was constantly checking it to determine what was flying above our house in Minneapolis during the recent civil unrest. I took comfort in at least know what was buzzing us and why it might be doing it.

Yes, this. They are basically like magic for cooking proteins and vegetables. And the 'done' to 'overdone' margin of error can be hours instead of mere minutes.

The worst offender I have seen in the wild is treasurydirect.gov. The password must be click in on an online keyboard, and they do not allow password managers to enter the passwords.

Minneapolis does have an exemption to the 8" height for "managed natural landscapes".

Thanks for this comment. I just added my little bit of support, as did a a couple dozen others.

I manage a software team at a Fortune 20 company, and my developers have a ton of freedom. They can work from home any day they please, and I'm honestly surprised when I tell them, "You don't have any meetings for the rest of the day, go home." By no means am I an exceptional manager, but that statement is taken as suspect by most of my staff. Good software can't be coerced.

They also own houses instead of renting flats in SF with roommates.
