Honestly, that's a weird reaction. I don't follow modern programmer slang but even I caught onto "clanker" as meaning "old clanky robot/automaton thing". It has absolutely no relations to negative verbiage about different kinds of people.

I hate to say "check yourself", but this time maybe. Maybe with a lot of ...

Yah. But for YouTube I use Vinegar. I don't use the YouTube app, prefer the mobile website.

I use 2 and they work very well. No options for auto playing videos though.

1Blocker and AdGuard.

For 1Blocker I have everything enabled except adult content and scripts. AdGuard has everything turned off except for General.

These are just the free versions too.

I've been using this setup for a few years and it works close to 100% of the time.

To the author if they happen to see this. Please kill the auto playing video. If someone is listening to something else on their phone this always takes over and interrupts.

Could someone (non-AI) summarize this? I'm sorry but I just literally don't have time to even read long posts from very reputable sources. I know I need the info but time just isn't there in my life right now.

Doesn't this then open a market for "vpn style" apps that make everyone look broke? Get the lowest prices (ie market/baseline) on every interaction from food delivery to airplane tickets?

Are there any companies just hiring for real people with real decades' of experience?

New comment by geuis in "Claude Opus 4.7"

I don't really understand Anthropic's pricing model.

https://claude.com/pricing

They have individual, enterprise, and API tiers. Some are subscriptions like Pro and Max, others require buying credits.

Say for my use-case I wanted to use Opus or Sonnet with vscode. What plan would I even look at using?

I really hate to say it, but this article in particular needs a tldr. The author does a web recipe take. Don't put the actual factual info upfront and require parsing through everything to find anything important.

Kinda done with this.

If you have something important to say, say it up front and back it up with literature later.

Ok.

I completely support the sentiment of what you wrote. But it doesn't directly seem relevant to the parent question.

Query: Are there any current legal challenges to this rapid spread of age verification that have a chance of hitting the Supreme Court?

From my admittedly poor understand of legal stuff, these are largely proactive measures happening at company and state level. Congress nor Supreme Court have issued any rulings around this yet.

New comment by geuis in "OpenScan"

geuis — Sat, 21 Feb 2026 06:51:48 +0000

Love the idea. But it's not terribly useful. At least on mobile, there's no way to click into individual models. My expectation is that about be a feature so I can zoom and scan more closely on the models.

Again, just mobile experience, there's no way to download the models. That's fine if there are licensing issues. But the text needs to indicated this.

Of course it isn't "too big to fail". Even banks aren't. Despite recent history large banks have failed often throughout history. There's no such thing. It may take down the supporting sovereign government (Dutch East Indies) but life goes on and new political orgs appear. People be people.

Too big to fail is a very recent modern myth. Go back 100+ years and lots of banks failed leading into the Great Depression.

Every system has a break point.

Not obvious. Astronomers are actively looking for signatures of exomoons around exoplanets. So "sun plus moon" could mean that too.
