What is the benefit compared to a compatibility layer? Is it easier for future maintenance?

It's definitely a huge improvement towards "FOSS Windows."

They're trying to win back the people they pushed away by only increasing the weekly limit by 50%. I'm like, "What?"

Won't go back, especially since their new Opus 4.7 is such a disaster.

However, they could use it as a last resort or as a final "gift" before getting arrested or switching identities.

They might be considered "trustworthy" right now to get companies to pay them money, but no one will know what will happen in a few years when this strategy won't work anymore.

Anyway, I hope this doesn't come at all, or as late as possible.

> leak state (e.g. UUIDv7)

But according to PostgreSQL, UUIDv7 provides better performance in the database, so is this essentially a trade off between security and speed?

Is now a good time to get a upgrade for cpu and motherboard?

Interesting. I'm currently conducting an experiment where I'm writing the blog without using any grammar checking tools. I'm wondering how long it will take for me to become "famous" in the AI model.

Is now the best and easiest time to leave something "forever"? Even after many generations of models, a model may still trigger a set of "memories" that know you and what you wrote.

Exciting and concerning.

Same. They do become famous, but not in a wholly positive way.

I'm impressed that such a serious problem popped up out of nowhere.

In my opinion, this mostly affects countries that are still using outdated systems, especially critical systems.

This gives bad actors a direct route to the root. Having an easily accessible root is not funny.

It's sad that the suggestions are no longer accurate. We live in a fast paced world where something new happens every day.

That's fair. We do have some fairly large monitor, but yeah, we still need a TV for 75 inches or larger.

Are you looking for a monitor? xD

New comment by eaf7e281 in "Claude Code to be removed from Anthropic's Pro plan?"

eaf7e281 — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 00:19:07 +0000

Note that some companies, like Amazon, purchased and ran the Claude on their own hardware. They didn't change the model parameters during the Claude Opus 4.6 karma.

If Anthropic continues to getting worse, try Amazon Kiro and other companies that run Claude on their own hardware.

It might be expensive and have a worse experience compared to Claude's code, but at least the model itself is the "original flavor."

These days, it's hard to ask for much.

I'm not sure where this heat comes from, but what constitutes a "good" forum in your opinion? I would love to check it out.

> If your code is open source, your security team can scan it, your contributors can scan it, and independent researchers can scan it too.

Literally! If everyone can access the same system as Claude's Mythos, one solution is to have more people trying to identify your issue before the hackers have the chance to do it.

I still don't understand. Who gave ICE such power, and who is ordering them to do all this? To me, ICE's actions are similar to those of a private army.

American companies give data to the U.S.

Chinese companies give data to China.

I don't trust either of them, but if I had to choose, I would use Chinese products in the U.S. and vice versa.
