nickandbro··on Show HN: Reviving my 2001 college band with AI
The originals are way better. The AI songs I can tell have a ghost in the shell. It’s like whatever uniqueness of the original was polished out.
nickandbro··on We're extending access to Fable 5 on all paid plans through July 12
> which doesn’t mean much because it won’t be a sustainable profit since they're going to need to spend a ton of money on training and compute over the next few months.

Never was arguing that it would be a sustained profit, just that they are. Most likely for the reasons you just listed.

Yeah it's right here:

It's not phrased as a usage cut, but rather when their 50% higher limits ends.

EDIT: its 33.3% less usage after July 13th

I guess to be more accurate, usage wouldn't get cut 50% but rather by 33.3% post July 13th.

Loosing Fable July 12th and getting usage cut by a third post July 13th is going to be rough. Looks like all the reporting about Anthropic trying their earnest to turn a profit this quarter is true. In the mean time, I will gladly switch to Codex. Their Pro plan gives you amble usage and only runs close when you are using the fast mode. And even if you run out of credits, they have given users so many credit resets this past month that you can just activate one of those after. I understand Fable is a great model, but switching to API usage will run many people thousands of dollars with the same usage from their subscription plans. Not worth it IMO.

EDIT: corrected usage cut amount

nickandbro··on Department of Commerce has lifted export controls on Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5
Jeff is now going to have to change his number. Can’t imagine all the calls or messages he must be getting now

So I guess they released this instead of Sonnet 5?
nickandbro··on The best thing that has ever happened for multiplayer games
I operate a game:

When I started developing it, I wanted to use AWS game lift. But the costs proved I would be paying $1000s of dollars per month to meet the user demand. This makes me seriously reconsider.

I imagine if it was Deepseek partnering with the CCP it would be different?
nickandbro··on Sakana Fugu
Very interesting. I wonder if its kinda functions similarly to how OpenRouter's fusion API does. Hopefully isn't too long to respond.
nickandbro··on Identity verification on Claude
I understand how this can be incredibly frustrating to non-US users or people who would like to remain anonymous. But from an enforcement perspective makes sense. If someone is able to leverage a jail break to break into a classified system, the government needs to easily be able to track down who that person is.
nickandbro··on Shepherd's Dog: A Game by the Most Dangerous AI Model
I sure do miss Fable. It just knew how to do things and do them well. Sad it’s now blocked.
nickandbro··on US Government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
A race to the bottom means that as other model makers start competing with Anthropic's Fable 5, eventually costs will come down. However if you are able to successfully convince the government to cease AI development, you don't have to sweat so much at night worrying about your competitors.
nickandbro··on Wasi: WebGPU – A Proposed WebAssembly System Interface API
lol maybe you should check the readme template you are having the LLM fill out before pushing

Get them addicted then cut them off. Oldest trick in the book.

This will be needed for the galactic civil wars that will soon take place.
nickandbro··on S&P 500 rejects SpaceX, also blocking entry for OpenAI and Anthropic
I don't know why they should even consider, all have IPOs that are valued too high compared to their revenues.
nickandbro··on Ask HN: What was your "oh shit" moment with GenAI?
When I was making matplotlib charts with gpt 3.5, and I was like okay this is somewhat impressive
nickandbro··on When AI Builds Itself: Our progress toward recursive self-improvement
So what happens when the world becomes hyper optimized with closed loop AI agents recursively trying to optimize everything deemed sub optimal?

Wow Google is becoming the new pre Llama 4 Meta when it comes to releasing open weights models.
nickandbro··on Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (June 2026)
Curious why you are no longer interested in US based defense roles? Is it just because working in the defense space gets old?

Why do I have an urge to buy this? I have no use for it. But damn did they sell it to me well.

This is a very good model, but can it be run on the web?
nickandbro··on AI should elevate your thinking, not replace it
I think there are engineers that can’t think without AI. But the best think with it. Unfortunately, we are now living in a day and age where simply ignoring AI is no longer an option.

I just prompted GPT-5.5 Pro "Solve Nuclear Fusion" and it one shotted it (kidding obviously)
nickandbro··on Microsoft offers buyouts up to 7% of US employees
A lot better than what Oracle offered their laid off employees which was `Severance includes 4 weeks' base salary plus 1 week per year of employment.`
