I don't understand what's the panic and doomerism about. Any competent IT team has backups and will be up and running as they go back to a state before the breach. This is HN. I'm disappointed that everyone is talking about losing grades and going back to pen and paper. I don't see how that could happen in 2026.

And from the hacker's message itself, it's clear they want money in exchange for not releasing private info, not for the data itself.

Do we live in a fear based culture? Why the panic? Even if everything was hosted on Instructure's infrastructure, it's all AWS. I'd be VERY surprised if there aren't multiple way to go back to a previous state.

Most of the work and delay is to make sure they figure out where the breach occurred.

I vibecoded a pretty extensive CLI for Canvas and using it is very pleasant. Joyful, even, when combined with an LLM. Especially when compared to the developer hostile Blackboard Ultra.

You can't just say this and leave us hanging. Which countries?

If you're on a GLP-1s and crave junk food (quite uncommon), almost all fast food places have a small combo that's around $5 that'll satisfy. At least Wendy's, Taco Bell, McDonald's, and others do.

They switched to vegetable oil 20+ years ago.

> I think if you look purely at the numbers, the real reason TUIs are popular is claude code

Do you mean that TUIs are popular because everyone is now trying to imitate Claude Code? or because TUIs are now easier to develop when Claude Code exists?

I'm curious to know what kind of project is macOS exclusive?

This exact pivot happened a few weeks ago.

How shocked are you, in comparison, that a Claude code subscription is $200/month?

But where do they fail? What does a good stethoscope bring? better and clearer amplification?

We should treat LLM somewhat like patents or drugs. After 5 years or so, the models should become open source. Or at very least the weights. To compensate for the distilling of human knowledge.
