johanycon Claude Code refuses requests or charges extra if your commits mention "OpenClaw"

Seriously why does Anthropic have so many shenanigans? I once wanted to try claude code coming from codex, but seeing these made me lose any appetite. Plus they are not open to the broader ecosystems like not reading .agents folder etc

johanycon The Zig project's rationale for their anti-AI contribution policy

So battle tested

johanycon Warp is now open-source

TIL OS/2 is also called warp

johanycon Google plans to invest up to $40B in Anthropic

johanycon All phones sold in the EU to have replaceable batteries from 2027

> I don't know that I buy that it's "planned obsolescence".

I'm responding to this. It might be worth it for your wife. But if for a lot of people, paying $100 to revive a 6 year old phone is a bad deal, then it's planned obsolescence

johanycon Tim Cook's Impeccable Timing

> In short, I think Apple has made a good decision here for short term reasons, but I don’t think it’s a short-term decision: I strongly suspect that Apple, whether it has admitted it to itself or not, has just committed itself to depending on 3rd-parties for AI for the long run.

I'm not so sure it's smart to rely on others for such a major paradigm shift

johanycon Not buying another Kindle

There wouldn't be so much backlash if they didn't end downloading ebook support from the website.

johanycon OpenAI ad partner now selling ChatGPT ad placements based on “prompt relevance”

Yeah I'm confused too. Google is pretty much doing the same thing as it did when they started monetizing search.

johanycon OpenAI ad partner now selling ChatGPT ad placements based on “prompt relevance”

I don't remember them ever saying that. They did say ads will not affect the response, like the ad in Truman show: https://youtu.be/6U4-KZSoe6g

johanycon All phones sold in the EU to have replaceable batteries from 2027

It's planned obsolescence through price. Your wife paid >50% of the phone's value just to replace the battery. Many people won't think that's worth it. It could have been a $30 user replaceable battery.

johanycon Claude Opus 4.7

Weird. I never had that issue when writing code.

johanycon AI assistance when contributing to the Linux kernel

Llm can but do they? Is there any evidence that they spit out a piece of code verbatim without being explicitly prompted to do so? NYT v OpenAI for example, NYT intentionally prompted to circumvent OpenAi's guardrail to show NYT articles

johanycon Muse Spark: Scaling towards personal superintelligence

They said they are in the tweet

johanycon Muse Spark: Scaling towards personal superintelligence

One word: control. It's the same reason Facebook became Meta

johanycon Kindle to end store downloads and registering for 1st-5th gen kindles in May

Looks like my Kindle voyage's days are numbered :(

johanycon Kindle to end store downloads and registering for 1st-5th gen kindles in May

Most consumers probably never heard of the word DRM

johanycon Kindle to end store downloads and registering for 1st-5th gen kindles in May

You can throw the physical book away or recycle it as paper. Buying them is just to make payments for the pirated books.

johanycon Codex pricing to align with API token usage, instead of per-message

Looks like it yes. I can't believe I have to scroll this far too find this comment.

johanycon The cult of vibe coding is dogfooding run amok

> The question is, will the market care? If software today goes wrong in 3% of cases, and with wide-spread Al use it'll be, say, 7%, will people care? Or will we just keep chugging along, happy with all the new, more featureful, but more faulty software?

This is THE question. I honestly think the majority will gladly take an imperfect app over waiting for a perfect app or perhaps having no app at all. Some devs might be able to stand out with a polished app taking the traditional approach but it takes a lot longer to achieve that and by that point the market may be different, which is a risk

johanycon The cult of vibe coding is insane

That has never happened to me. Did you try that a long while ago? I only had that issue with Gemini

johanycon I won't download your app. The web version is a-ok

I do the same with discord. Idk why the app is so huge

johanycon F-15E jet shot down over Iran

You should at least share an image of f35...

johanycon OpenClaw privilege escalation vulnerability

What do you use it for

johanycon LinkedIn is illegally searching your computer

Wdym? You vibe code your software. Are you saying the LLM will spit out malware?

johanycon Axios compromised on NPM – Malicious versions drop remote access trojan

LMAO take my upvote

johanycon Goodbye to Sora

Same. I pretty much only watch videos I generate.

johanycon Tell HN: Litellm 1.82.7 and 1.82.8 on PyPI are compromised

I don't expect one. This kind of attack is pretty common nowadays. The xz attack was special for how long the guy worked for it and how severe it could have been

johanycon Denmark was reportedly preparing for full-scale war with the US over Greenland

On a more fundamental level, I think something is wrong with the American education system and results in so many low information voters who believe any words from their "hero". And fixing education takes decades to even see the result.

They definitely can vote for another Trump-like guy and they have proven it by voting Trump back the second time. Honestly this is crazy to me this can even happen after Jan 6. The Brazilian Trump-like President went to jail, yet Trump returns to the White House. My take is this trust issue takes at least 10 years to recover, most likely more.
