> I was considering just merging the fixes straight to master just to make my life easier

I felt that. The problem with doing that is you hate yourself afterwards so not a good solution either, gotta do it properly.

Thanks for working on rclone, Nick!

Ask HN: Claude Creating Artifacts?

ftchd — Sat, 18 Jul 2026 16:04:01 +0000

Did claude code start randomly creating artifacts for you too?

Previously I was asking it to create a local html file with a summary (when needed, this isn't in any of my CLAUDE.md files).

Now it creats them by itself when it sees fit, and they're stored online on claude.ai, can this be disabled?

This is the same post from 8 days ago from the same user. When you tap on the old er post it opens this one. Why is that?

Well...

Search right now in the App Store for "Morpho" and you'll find a "Morpho: Network" app. That app says it's some sort of TODO/Note taking app. It uses very broad language in the screenshots and assets from morpho.org (a decentralized protocol).

Once you open the app, it immediately downloads another bundle using OTA updates and shows an entirely different app where you "connect your wallet". You can imagine what happens next.

Someone recommended this in the replies: https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/destructive_command_gua...

Any other must-have tools like this?

They reset all usage half an hour ago. It's back to 0% per week and session. No specifically Fable related.

For some reason the 8 image grid only loads the first image, maybe there's no images to load?

Just a little bit of feedback: some items on the main page are duplicated, which could be confusing. For example, "nginx-advanced" appears as updated both 3 days ago and 2 hours ago.

If I have to choose between no PR and a "drive-by PR" where the author doesn't understand the changes to have a discussion, or isn't available to do changes and expects me to "take it from there", then I'd much rather go with "no PR" for the sake of everyone.

So is Fable 5 so "good" that I barely noticed any difference when switching back to Opus 4.8, or is it because it's actually Fable 5 now?

Afaik, the EU hasn't done anything "with" or "to" Apple Intelligence. Apple just keeps shooting themselves in the foot intentionally and then blames the EU for it, writing paragraphs about how hurt they are while mentioning at the very end, in one sentence, that the same features are unavailable in China.

EU has forced Apple to use USB-C for everything earlier than they planned by a few years, and fined them for uncompetitive practices like the ones Epic Games shed light on in US courts.

> One practical detail is worth knowing. The new engine is CPU-only at the moment, so if you select a non-CPU backend and target (for example CUDA or OpenVINO through setPreferableBackend and setPreferableTarget), you will want the classic engine.

So there's room for even better performance!
