I'm against stealth models—we should know what it is and see a model card with a list of safety considerations. Bit ridiculous of a practice to me.

Every apartment lease I’ve signed specifically prohibits aquariums.

They are not the first code hosting service to do so. sourcehut banned cryptocurrency in 2022:

Mostly positive HN discussion when this happened: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33403780

Some cheaper devices I have (e.g. rechargeable LED light strip) _only_ charge via power-only cables. Was maddening when I realized I had thrown out all but one of the cables that can charge it.

FTA:

> As executive chairman, Cook will assist with certain aspects of the company, including engaging with policymakers around the world.

This gives me the impression that at least for the near-term, Cook will still be the one groveling to the Trump White House. Whatever you think about that, that's probably helpful for Ternus' dealings with the next administration.

I’m referring to how it can use your computer in the background.

I don't think Claude has this part yet:

> With background computer use, Codex can now use all of the apps on your computer by seeing, clicking, and typing with its own cursor. Multiple agents can work on your Mac in parallel, without interfering with your own work in other apps.

This is slightly different from what OpenCode was banned from doing; they were a separate harness grabbing a user’s Claude Code session and pretending to be Claude Code.

OpenClaw was still using Claude Code as the harness (via claude -p)[0]. I understand why Anthropic is doing this (and they’ve made it clear that building products around claude -p is disallowed) but I fear Conductor will be next.

I received the email and I have been using “Option B”, which wraps the Claude CLI. https://docs.openclaw.ai/providers/anthropic#option-b-claude...

FWIW I am sympathetic to Anthropic here, but OpenClaw _is_ using the Claude Code harness (via claude -p). But yes, Anthropic has made it clear they don’t like this.

Looks like Anthropic called in a favor and it's removed now.

Well, the previous paragraph compares how much people bet online with how much people spend on airfare, which also isn't quite right. It assumes 100% of what people bet is lost. For sure, the house always wins, but the amount lost is probably closer to 50-60% of what is quoted.

Are the referenced companies referring to their volume as revenue?

> And now here come the prediction markets, such as Polymarket and Kalshi, whose combined 2025 revenue came in around $50 billion.

Bizarre to call trading volume "revenue". Last year, trading fees for Kalshi amounted to about $263 million[0], whereas Polymarket largely did not have fees in 2025 and is turning them on in a few days[1].

Not sure how I missed that - was too fixated on tech specs. My bad.

~~Haven't yet seen anyone comment on the apparent lack of Apple Intelligence. Makes sense due to the low amount of memory but wonder how many people won't notice that until after they buy this laptop.~~

edit: somehow missed it has Apple Intelligence - whoops

I was about to link the same article and I did not make my account to post this comment.

The biggest reason why this is confusing is the Claude Agent SDK[0] will use subscription/oauth credentials if present. The terms update implies that there's some use cases where that's ok and other use cases (commercial?) where using their SDK on a user's device violates terms.

That example is in the article, but typeset differently.

Yes, and also 325 million subscribers for all of Google, not just YouTube.

Was there a brouhaha with OpenClaw or was that with OpenCode?

How do you draw that conclusion? If Anthropic wants to offer a service at below cost, they seem a lot more justified in restricting how and where they subsidize usage.

Tonight we are all Claude Code, Anthropic's official CLI for Claude.

But if one were to write tools that were "abi-compatible" with Claude Code's, could you see similar performance with a custom agent? And if so - is Cursor not doing just that?

Another drawback could be that package manager lockfile schemas are optimized for performance[0]. I wouldn't appreciate seeing slower install times by default - especially if the lockfile could be converted with other tooling.

Maybe I was too hyperbolic, but when I read the original Anna's Archive announcement post, I appreciated their dedication to archiving content that may be lost one day. They called the effort "Backing up Spotify" and emphasized the good that opening the data could do. It's not about enabling piracy.

Following Anna's logic, I was calling on Spotify to stop "investigating" archivists. Spotify could instead be engaging constructively here, with Anna's Archive, Internet Archive, or other groups.

I doubt such a tool would be allowed in the major mobile app stores. The library of music isn't the product.

I wish Spotify welcomed or collaborated with these archival initiatives. Anna's Archive does not compete with Spotify in any way.

Supermaven said the same thing when they were acquired by Cursor and then EOLed a year later. Honestly, it makes sense to me that Cursor would shut down products it acquires - I just dislike pretending that something else is happening.

You can install the Claude Code VS Code extension in Cursor and you get a similar AI side pane as the main Cursor composer.
