<p>>Thundermail is a great idea!<p>I think the synergy part is what is great here. Imagine thundermail is a FOSS server app. Imagine they implement things like proof-of-work for senders, and no PoW means the mail goes into a quarantine instead of directly in the user's inbox. That could fight spam, without the centralization and loss of privacy we've had in email. That hasn't happened now, because of the chicken-egg problem. There's no client that supports it because there's no server that supports it because there's no client that supports it.<p>Thunderbird is a very big client. It could push email forward like nothing before. I may give Thundermail a try. I'd much rather self-host a Thundermail server... one that works around the port 25 block on every residential IP. Maybe my self hosted instance could receive messages relayed from the "real" thundermail server on something other than port 25.</p>

<p>>they just design around the fact that it’s unreliable<p>Everything is unreliable. Always design for unreliable. That's my major gripe with most docs and tutorials from any of these services. They only describe what happens during success. They never go into detail on what happens when things go wrong. Your only option is to wait for it to blow up and learn from experience. In the meantime, assume it is going to blow up, try to catch it and log as much of the blowup as possible. Never assume it will work. Assume it won't work and be happy when it does.<p>This is why you should lean toward something like an authenticator. You can control the whole experience. Rely on unreliable services as little as you can.</p>

<p>I sent 100,000 SMS appointment reminders every day for over a decade. I resisted lead times under 1 day for a very long time, until I was forced to roll out lead times as short as one hour. I made extra sure, I got it in writing, that customers would be informed hourly lead time may fail and be unrecoverable. Don't depend on it.<p>Hourly, the shortest lead time was one hour. And you're talking about 45 seconds.</p>

<p>I spend a lot of time outside the country. Everyone seems to block VoIP for "security" now too. So please stop using SMS for 2FA. Seriously, even NIST says this is a bad idea, but everyone keeps doing it.<p><a href="https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2016/08/nist_is_no_long.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2016/08/nist_is_no_lo...</a><p>I have yubikeys. Lots of people can do authenticator codes on their phones. Stop using SMS already. As you're discovering, it's garbage for that purpose, even for you as the developer. Even emailing the code would be better.</p>

<p>After seeing everyone's response to the latest release and all the damage control happening around it<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47660925">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47660925</a><p>Let's just say I have my doubts. AI promotion is always cherry picked results. You found a 23 year old linux bug with it? Cool. How many false positives did you go through to do that? You guys never say. You also never do live demos of your AI because you know it's going to hallucinate and make your company a laughing stock.<p>My guess is the new model has gotten even worse than the latest release and this is the cover story. All that DoD money evaporated and it hurt them badly, they just can't admit it.</p>

<p>>As the piece mentions, young men are "staying on the sidelines" versus engage in low wage, low status restaurant work (in this context).<p>Why do you think young men would work at a restaurant? They don't make tips the way pretty young girls do. Restaurants certainly don't pay a living wage.<p>Have you tried ending tip culture? If you did that, you might find more young men willing to work there and more patrons willing to eat there once the expectation of 30% tips are gone.</p>

<p>>but the moment their own code leaks they reach for DMCA takedowns.<p>Did they actually? Someone can go to prison for 5 years for that.<p>Fact 1: AI generated code has no copyright, so the Digital Millennium Copyright Act does not apply.<p>Fact 2: Misrepresenting your copyright ownership under the DMCA is felony perjury.<p>Fact 3: The existence of undercover.ts in the leak is grounds to void any copyright claims on whatever human written code might have existed in Claude Code. You have a DUTY TO DISCLOSE any AI generated code in your copyrighted work. undercover.ts HIDES DISCLOSURE to FRAUDULENTLY claim all the code is human written when it is not.<p>Given the current administration has a bone to pick with Anthropic, it was a VERY BAD IDEA for them to send false DMCA takedowns to github. Someone at Anthropic may be the very first ever to go to prison under that section of the DMCA.<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>You do, as the developer.

Claude adding a co-author to a commit is documentation to put a clear line between code you wrote and code claude generated which does not qualify for copyright protection.<p>The damning thing about this leak is the inclusion of undercover.ts.
