stillatit··on Anthropic bans 'abusive or cruel behavior' towards Claude
Plenty of humans haven’t been to Paris.
stillatit··on Anthropic bans 'abusive or cruel behavior' towards Claude
One of my big fears around AI is that it’s anthropomorphized by the general public, who over time demand new cultural norms or laws reflecting that belief. I can’t believe the frontier itself is now pushing that view.
stillatit··on Decisions API is in public beta
One difference between Decisions and Jev (for now) seems to be that Decisions can take image inputs, which is a pretty common need.
stillatit··on SvelteKit 3
I love the hands-on developer experience of programming in Svelte. But since we're in October of 2026 I have to ask, is the vibe-coding experience in Svelte any different than in React? Can anyone with experience in both comment?

User: "In other words you did not sign off on the chad IDE?"

Gary: "Sorry, YC is a pretty big place and I can't be all places at all times"

User: "I'm confused. why did you fund it then?"

Gary: "We're a partnership of 15 general partners"

Seemed to me like he was apoligizing for admitting them. However I see now he also added "I wouldn't count them out, one questionable video does not mean someone is bad". Maybe I misread it.

Chinese isn't just an ethnicity, it's a country.
stillatit··on Tell HN: X is opening any tweet link in a webview whether you press it or not
That's incredibly damning. The throttling of Substack writers is so cruel, especially considering how much these writers have contributed to Twitter.
stillatit··on Tell HN: X is opening any tweet link in a webview whether you press it or not
Since this got so much attention, I feel the need to add that the CEO of Substack is now saying that even accounting for fake views, their traffic from X has gone up substantially.

>Using up newspapers free stories a month on articles users never see etc

Webviews are pretty quarantined from the main safari app. I don't think cookies persist, so I don't think this would be an issue.

>Nobody wants a damn web view.

OP here. This might be a classic Hacker News sentiment that's not shared by normal users. Being able to instantly return to where you were without having to navigate apps is probably appreciated by a lot of people. (As would be preloading in this instance).

FWIW when I first started browsing HN a common complaint was websites being mobile sized. The sentiment here was they should be rendered in full desktop and require pinch-zooming and scrolling in all directions.

Not sure how much of an attack that is. FWIW the preloading is nice as a user.
stillatit··on YouTube Just Ate TV. It's Only Getting Started
I've seen this repeated all over the internet, but it's far from true. CPM/RPM on adult video is way, way, WAY lower than YouTube or other SFW ad networks.
stillatit··on Just how many $10 /MOS subscriptions do startups expect us to sign up for?
They're basically suggesting logging into a product with an OpenAI account and paying OpenAI directly for the product's AI usage. Presumably the product would get some cut of OpenAI's revenue.

Like AI is the gas that powers the AI product. OpenAI sells the gas, the product gets commission.

That was my understanding at least, since I've had the same thought.

stillatit··on Apple violated antitrust ruling, judge finds
So what is the punishment for outright lying under oath?
