For less than the cost of this plan, you can get ChatGPT Pro 200, Claude Max 5x, and Kimi Code. At least that's what I'm doing, and the model diversity does help with adversarial code review loops.

I am not talking about open models. I am talking about proprietary models being trained on public information. A lot of people want to posture about what an ideological person might think, and some of it seems conveniently positioned to use a past figure that can't speak for themselves.

I think copyright has real intrinsic value in our society, but having been subjected to threatening legal letters for legit fair use situations in my youth, as a result I don't think the legal structure behind it is sane. I always respect copyright when I can, but it's gotten to a point where fair use is not equally considered.

Maybe we could have privacy protections before assuming every adult in the US is a child until giving random companies our PII? That would be cool, but not holding my breath.

Edit: of course, downvote the comment pointing to Americans having more civil rights. Expect nothing less from the HN techbro cesspool. And yes, this meta commentary infringes the guidelines, and the trust contract is broken at this point. This site does not deserve my energy anymore.

It's basically talking about the impact on the environment and which class of society will end up benefiting from AI. I thought the article was pretty clear, and a message we as a society should be discussing more, especially with the current state of things.

With that said, the article reads like it's been through an AI pass, and not as concise and direct as it could be.

One thing I see missing in a lot of these discussions is whether or not the metric is solely based on speed. I think AI just allows you to look at your code in different ways and provides more chances to catch mistakes. I am definitely slower with AI assistance, but that is because I use it to increase the quality of my work.

Fair, and maybe some people should see this, but the article alone is not that interesting. It quotes the president saying what anyone vaguely aware of politics might already be able to infer. My comment should have been more clear that the article just lacks substance.

Edit: Interesting loss of karma after explaining myself even though the comment scores are unchanged. Totally not rigged voting system...

Not sure why this narcissist gaslighter is in the HN feed. Not very thought-provoking content.

The moon is probably the only celestial body humans can actually occupy with current technology, for every other object in the solar system we need robots.

What is it like to only comment about the headline?

Meanwhile people using a copilot proxy [1] with a third party harness have zero issues. Very clumsy enforcement if not a bug.

I think grouping all porn as exploitative is a stretch.

I don't think this even requires a source, it's completely made up.

The pro plan does include Opus usage. I've noticed the limits on the web client are a bit higher than through CC, but probably more because of the increased token usage of agentic coding in general.

Claude web is actually pretty good for dealing with random projects outside of code. I have a Home Assistant MCP server [1] behind a Cloudflare tunnel exposed to it that makes maintaining automations a lot easier.

I get that it's a volunteer system, but having donated for 2 years to help support their Lemmy instance, it's frustrating it's been down for 2 weeks without much of an update, just a hint "there's a good chance" it will come back. To me that seems lacking of transparency, not terse. How much disk space is it using? Maybe others in the community could help? How can they if they don't respond to emails? It was a nice thing while it lasted, but for federated social media, that kind of downtime hurts communities the most.

WSL1 is not Linux because it is mapping system calls from the Linux kernel ABI to NT. That sounds like what you're describing. WSL2 is a Microsoft distro running in a VM that integrates into Windows.

I use WSL2 every day and it has some annoying quirks with how their Wayland implementation behaves with DWM, but otherwise it's just a Linux environment.

I was confused by the "barking up the wrong tree" opener because the parent commenter was not contradicting that line of thinking either. Though destroying property is not going to get anyone anywhere, that I can agree with if that's GP's point.

Where in the Constitution does it require us to give up our privacy to private companies with little oversight? Seems like there's contention here.

I did read it, and it seems like a political witchhunt. Also, comments on HN are actually not that credible on average.

It wasn't? There are those kernel protected msedgewebview2.exe processes Microsoft shoved into Windows 11, actively making performance horrible.

I'm really surprised by the sheer scale of how many websites this outage is affecting. We really need to decentralize all of these monolith clouds.

Rather not considering how unfairly I already am treated on this platform.

There's a lot to like about HN, but it's worth acknowledging that the "good parts" are only half the picture. Anything that questions moderation or site culture is routinely flagged as "crankiness" and buried. You can participate for years and still never gain access to basic features like downvoting, since karma and visibility are as much about fitting in as about merit.

The system rewards intellectual curiosity until you direct it at HN itself. If you start asking questions about how moderation works or challenge the culture here, you'll find that dissent gets quietly penalized, and transparency only goes so far.

The other issue with HN is they seem to decide how you curate your own inputs into the site. Even deleting your own comments is not allowed after a time limit. I don't understand what benefit this brings, and it's certainly not communicated in the HN guidelines.

If a platform claims to foster intellectual curiosity, it should be able to tolerate that curiosity being directed at its own moderation choices. Otherwise, it's just managing its image, not building trust.

> Crankiness about billionaires and "circle jerks for tech bros" and all that just has nothing to do with the intellectual curiosity we're trying to foster on the site.

Sorry, but if we pretend suggesting billionaires not having most people's best interest is "crankiness", we are not running a very intellectually honest community. Convince me this is not a circle jerk when it takes 5 years of commenting to get 50% of the privilege to downvote. I'm out.

This type of story kind of summarizes my feelings towards these mega rich people in general, it's not a coincidence they're spending most of their time self-preserving and building bunkers [1].

Edit: Fascinating seeing downvotes over an insightful comment simply calling out the self-absorbed nature of billionaires. Have fun with that, probably my last comment on HN. This place is a circle jerk for techbros with charasmatic professional moderators that algorithmically punish the very things their own guidelines support. Waste of sincere people's time.

My split was more 40% GPT-5, 60% GPT-4o. I think GPT-4o was better at communicating over interpersonal issues, but it ultimately depends on your perspective.

As a gay man, I disagree. I think it's a word that describes someone who doesn't consider others without realizing it.

I'm just reacting to the article, mostly. I think they framed it without mentioning the details in my comment, which your comment glosses over.

I have so many things to complain about with Microsoft, especially the enshitification of Windows, but I think the way they handled the Microsoft 365 plan change was actually transparent. I got an email telling me the price was going to go up a month before my plan was going to renew, and I logged into my account and saw the option to downgrade back to the tier I was originally on. It's a hassle, but it's a one-time thing. Of course it's still not cool of them to opt-in people to a more expensive tier.

If we're comparing them to other software companies, what would be their fairest comparison? Is there another company that manages the overwhelming majority of client desktops around the world?

I use Msty a lot for personal use. I like its ability to fork conversations. Seems like a simple feature but even ChatGPT's UI, which everyone has tried to copy, is fairly limited by comparison.
