Is it to support local/European companies - Great. Is it because you don't want to be at risk of the US and the CLOUD Act - Not so great. Any company that has servers in the US (which Hetzner and basically all CDNs do) are still vulnerable to the CLOUD Act and that includes servers in Europe.

I find that a lot of my Claude usage goes unused and then when I'm coding or leaning on agents I hit a limit and have to wait. I don't like that dynamic. I do have Extra Usage enabled (with a cap) but then I'm spending more than the $100 I already do.

I'm learning that a lot of people seem to consistently stay within limits and that works for them but I was looking for something different for myself.

The real pain is that Anthropic don't easily quantify usage (which can now change over the day). How many tokens is it? Minimum? Maximum? I tried to quantify this with OpenTelemetry for a while but have decided to move to this more flexible setup.

Uses government IDs that a lot of people already have and saves signed credentials to your phone. There is a server element for the verification process but it runs all in-memory (follow the Mullvad model and not even have persistent storage in the servers).

It's fun. Get to practice mobile development (Flutter), use some local GPUs, learn about the changes to JWTs for signed, selective disclosure, Bitstrings for progressive disclosure lists etc.

Landing page is https://agora.gdn/ in case anyone wants to try a beta in the future.

Now I'm happy with agents as the models and harnesses have improved significantly but the token usage comes at a cost.

1. What do you use the hooks for?

2. Do you use an editor alongside the CLI to review code or only examine the diffs?

Sadly Zed seems to add 10% so it's still more worthwhile to use OpenRouter.

I like the option for different models that I just don't get with Claude Code. I want an IDE to monitor files and understand the code, not just see snippets (I know that there is still the Editor view in Cursor but with the push towards the Agent view I feel it's headed into a Conductor direction and personally I'm not ready for that).

LiveMap is a funded startup with a vision to build the next generation of mapping apps (think hyper-personalised Google Maps). How that looks is still being explored so we're building prototypes, getting them into customer hands and iterating quickly. We're looking to bring on a couple of people to help accelerate this development process.

As a data engineer you'll set up a data pipeline, work with product to identify relevant datasets, connect, persist and expose that data.

Working on the routing engine you'll extend off the shelf routing engines (Graphhopper) to take into account dynamic run-time preferences & attributes (think temporal).

Happy hacking

It's under the `prompt` and `tool_parameter` fields in the logs.

    {service_name=~"claude-code"} | prompt != ""  | line_format `prompt={{.prompt}}`

This is possible without custom certificates, MITM or proxies. However you do need something to collect, store and visualise the OTEL data.

I use Grafana Alloy (running in Docker) and Grafana Cloud for this but you could use any OTEL provider including SigNoz.

Leave it running, track your usage and when you hit limits look back to understand how many tokens that actually was.

why not?

Okay not today but China was known as the cheap copier and is now the innovator.

It's hard to find a decent service that ticks all the boxes but I do sincerely hope that the EU can support Matrix to bring it up to the standard that we all deserve.

I've been thinking a lot about why I feel disheartened at the state of the internet and of possible ways to approach fixing it.

I believe the root cause is the lack of a privacy-preserving 'Proof of Humanity.' My approach to fix this combines biometric passports (ICAO 9303) with Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs/Confidential Computing) for verification. We then push a signed payload back to your device, not centralising any data.

I know 'Passport' + 'Internet' sounds like a privacy nightmare and this type of solution is generally disapproved upon by HN. However I'd like to offer an approach that tries to set such a service up as an integral part of the open web: Non-profit (Switzerland for what it's worth) association to avoid monetisation pressures to exploit user data and open source in a Tursted Execution Environment (TEE) to offer some additional guarantees about the processing of user data.

To be clear, this is not pushing for mandatory age verification - that is not the aim. It is however trying to increase the "human signal" on the web as we interact with each other while maintaining as much privacy as possible.
