username44··on The classifiers Anthropic puts in front of Fable are too zealous
Daily use here, about 2.5 weekly 20x limits, never got flagged for code topics including finding memory safety vulnerabilities in my C++ project, but just got flagged for the first time for biology-related topics because I asked it to implement crop genetics and cross breeding into my game. Was able to bypass it by having opus reword the prompt (gene -> trait, cross breed -> trait mixing), and, critically, insisted that it not use any biology related words in its thinking or responses.
username44··on Turtle WoW classic server announces shutdown after Blizzard wins injunction
When I played on a private server, you used an old version of the client binary. So even if Blizzard implemented DRM now, it wouldn’t impact these old versions.
username44··on Tell HN: Anthropic no longer allowing Claude Code subscriptions to use OpenClaw
You can use the API with CC, you just need to log out and log in, selecting API usage.
username44··on The Claude Code Source Leak: fake tools, frustration regexes, undercover mode
Just to corroborate sibling comments, I checked my Claude Code VM (native install) for the IOC and it does not appear infected.
username44··on “Car Wash” test with 53 models
This is an interesting point, but even when you are more specific ChatGPT says to walk.

username44··on Two billion email addresses were exposed
I wasn’t aware of this feature, but can confirm. Just tried and it is free.

Log into dashboard, under business there is a domains tab. Enter your domain there and verify ownership. Didn’t ask for payment.

username44··on Show HN: XR2000: A science fiction programming challenge
Thanks for the advice, unfortunately I haven’t received any new mail, even after trying on another account.
username44··on Show HN: XR2000: A science fiction programming challenge
Hi, I’m having a lot of fun with this so far, this is a cool way to get comfortable with a new programming language. Two comments so far, first, the third email seems to be triggered by translating a certain word, but it can happen repeatedly. When tweaking my translation method I ended up getting multiple copies of the mail.

Second, after deriving what I presume is the correct access code, I am no longer authorized for transceiver usage. Is this an intended game mechanic? There doesn’t seem to be any indication of how to proceed if so.

username44··on High levels of antihistamine drugs can reduce fitness gains
This is really interesting, as I came to a similar conclusion recently. I was taking famotidine (h2 blocker) and fexofenadine (h1 blocker) and noticed my daily running routine became significantly more difficult. Within a few days of stopping both, it became easier again.
username44··on Upcoming Hardening in PHP
One example I can think of is the WoW private server Warmane uses an RCE to extend client functionality.

username44··on Dance training superior to physical exercise in inducing brain plasticity (2018)
You mentioned progressively making it harder, I’ve seen the following strategies to make balancing more difficult. Combining them all can be challenging:

1. Arms crossed on your chest 2. Eyes closed 3. Swinging your head left and right, like an exaggerated “no”

username44··on Show HN: A real time AI video agent with under 1 second of latency
I came back to try the Hassaan one, it was much more realistic although he still denied wearing a hat. I think if you were able to run a still image of the character’s appearance through a multimodal LLM and have it generate a description for the conversation’s prompt it would work better.
username44··on Show HN: A real time AI video agent with under 1 second of latency
It was pretty cool, I tried the Tavus demo. Seemed to nod way too much, like the entire time. The actual conversation was pretty clearly with a text model, because it has no concept of what it looks like, or even that it has a video avatar at all. It would say things like “I don’t have eyes” etc.
