CubsFan1060··on Suspension of the de minimis administrative exemption for imports $800 or less
Interesting. Got some examples of the pharmacies?
CubsFan1060··on So you want to use OpenRouter?
I think that's only on the enterprise plans? So no real protection for those of us using open router personally? Or did I miss other protections somewhere?
CubsFan1060··on So you want to use OpenRouter?
So far it was just "investigating". From the logs, my best guess is they sent all the requests at approximately the same time, and whatever limiting they do doesn't react fast enough.

I get it, the API key was my responsibility, but, setting the dollar limit is exactly the guard they suggest against that.

CubsFan1060··on So you want to use OpenRouter?
Another thing to be aware of -- apparently their billing limits don't work. Somehow someone was able to use my key from Singapore. It had a $10 daily limit and they were able to spend $100. Not only that, it got me blocked from all models for the frontier labs.

On top of that, near as I can tell, there are no protections for your API key. No restrictions by country, IP, etc...

CubsFan1060··on Our position on open-weights models
I think you are trying to argue that you can limit the open models.

If China is ok with open models being open... they will be. An attacker isn't going to be deterred by a US law saying they can't use them.

I guess my point is that if China is ok with open models, then, the attackers will have them regardless of any laws in other countries. Restricting them, in that case, doesn't seem to accomplish much?

CubsFan1060··on Postgres locks do not scale
15,000 database connections seems like a lot. Is that a scale Postgres supports very well?
CubsFan1060··on Ten years of ClickHouse in open source
What does the layout in click house look like? Do the input logs need to have a very defined structure?
CubsFan1060··on GLM-5.2 is the new leading open weights model on Artificial Analysis
What kind of hardware/price does it take to run those?
CubsFan1060··on GLM-5.2 is the new leading open weights model on Artificial Analysis
I think that's true until it isn't, which may end up being the problem. Fable/Mythos doesn't fall under the ZDR agreements with Anthropic. And I'm curious if others will follow suit.
CubsFan1060··on GLM-5.2 is the new leading open weights model on Artificial Analysis
Knowing very little about how to run these, how close are we to medium or larger businesses starting to buy hardware to run models like this to keep the models local?

It’s expensive, and not as capable as the frontier models, but would have some pretty big benefits around privacy and agency.

CubsFan1060··on Does Postgres Scale?
I thought this was a fun article from a couple months back: https://openai.com/index/scaling-postgresql/
CubsFan1060··on VibeVoice: Open-source frontier voice AI
Great post last night from Simon: https://simonwillison.net/2026/Apr/27/vibevoice/
CubsFan1060··on Google Gemma 4 Runs Natively on iPhone with Full Offline AI Inference
Though of course Apple's rules aren't always consistent, I have 2 separate apps currently on my phone that can/are running this (Google's Edge Gallery and Locally AI)
CubsFan1060··on Tell HN: Anthropic no longer allowing Claude Code subscriptions to use OpenClaw
Ah, I missed that. Guess that makes sense and is a reasonably fair way to limit excessive users.
CubsFan1060··on Tell HN: Anthropic no longer allowing Claude Code subscriptions to use OpenClaw
It seems like you have an impossible ask? Why not 4 subscriptions to last you 5 hours?
CubsFan1060··on Tell HN: Anthropic no longer allowing Claude Code subscriptions to use OpenClaw
I don’t really follow what you’re saying. You mention the 5 hour limit. Is your expectation that they have enough capacity so that everyone can hit their 5 hour limit all the time? Or you are proposing that’s how they limit capacity for a subscription?

Do you have an example of how this is how they have advertised or sold the plan? I don’t recall ever seeing any advertisement that their plan is simply pre paying for tokens.

CubsFan1060··on Claudetop – htop for Claude Code sessions (see your AI spend in real-time)
41 minute old account. "I built post". LLM sounding everything. I'd be surprised if there was a real person behind this at all.
CubsFan1060··on Show HN: AI agents run my one-person company on Gemini's free tier – $0/month
This feels like we're still on the march to the dead internet.

What percentage of your interaction do you want/think is actually real people, and not just agents talking to other agents?

CubsFan1060··on The Sideprocalypse
You may be right about taste, but I think it takes a different dimension in the future.

"Dear Claude, please make me a clone of <fancy new saas> but make <these changes specific to my tastes>".

For many things, it's probably not "select the one of 100 that fits my taste", it's probably going to be to just make your own personal version that fits your taste in the first place. And, probably, never share that anywhere.

CubsFan1060··on Claude Code is being dumbed down?
This has to be a bot account, right? 2 days old.

Yesterday "I don't know about you, but I benefit so much from using Claude at work that I would gladly pay $1,500-$2,000 per month to keep using it."

CubsFan1060··on Software factories and the agentic moment
The interesting part about that is both of those things require some sort of time to start.

If I launch a new product, and 4 hours later competitors pop up, then there's not enough time for network effects or lockin.

I'm guessing what is really going to be needed is something that can't be just copied. Non-public data, business contracts, something outside of software.

CubsFan1060··on Software factories and the agentic moment
I can't tell if this is genius or terrifying given what their software does. Probably a bit of both.

I wonder what the security teams at companies that use StrongDM will think about this.

CubsFan1060··on Netbird – Open Source Zero Trust Networking
I've been keeping my eye on this one, it's very interesting.

Feel free to ignore this, but, what's your long term plan here? I see you have Enterprise plans (especially that allow different licenses). From what I can tell you're the only contributor, but, I assume that if you accepted contributions there'd be a CLA?

CubsFan1060··on Ask HN: Gmail spam filtering suddenly marking everything as spam?
I might be missing something, but if you’ve never given them out to anyone at all, then what’s the point?
CubsFan1060··on Sisyphus Now Lives in Oh My Claude
Thanks for pointing me to the Gas Town blog post. That was...a lot. I'm going to need a lot of time to digest everything that was in there.
CubsFan1060··on Sisyphus Now Lives in Oh My Claude
I'm not familiar with this at all. But at first blush, it seems like the Readme is far more interested in being angry with Anthropic than actually telling me what this is or why I care.

I see "Multi Agent Orchestration", but, scrolling through this I still have no idea what I'm looking at.

CubsFan1060··on All my new code will be closed-source from now on
Part of me says that that could be handled with licenses, though for that to work the code probably no longer qualifies as open source either.

Also, I'd guess, the sort of people who are comfortable with asking an LLM to build the premium features are, uh, morally flexible enough to not care about licenses in the first place.

CubsFan1060··on All my new code will be closed-source from now on
It's almost always locking some features behind subscription.

Obviously, SSO is the best choice for most deployments. Enterprises (who will probably pay the most) will require SSO.

Open Source is the "free taste". Everyone knows, uses, and likes Grafana. When your company is looking for something, you'll recommend it because you're familiar with it. Your company will want things like SCIM or similar, and pay them for it.

It's harder for products that are trying to sell to smaller companies/individuals, but it still applies.

CubsFan1060··on Take One Small Step
I think this is mostly just a summary of the book Atomic Habits.
