The $100 plans are plenty for me to use nearly all day. I'm using between $1500-3000 worth of tokens a month via those plans. I definitely see the pricing model. I can afford $100, maybe $200, but not $3000.

Because human beings are irrational and want "apps". I have numerous examples of native apps that are just wrappers around the web app performing extremely well (massively increasing conversion rates, revenue, etc) over the existi

Nothing in our product runs on AI but productivity would slow down for sure.

I've synced 20 years of Gmail to a local Thunderbird via imap. The initial sync took a few days but it was pretty simple to set up.

Not usually. I've had AI slow me down twice. Once, it was just failing to build simple flows for complex business logic getting added to existing complex business logic. It was more efficient for me to just spend a few hours and handco

They're probably tracking click throughs and what placement you saw, what AB tests were visible, etc.

Laws like this are a good idea but its too burdensome for small companies so it cripples innovations and small businesses. Only applying it to larger companies let's it apply to only the companies who have the largest impact and also c

That's the tradeoff for allowing smaller companies flexibility to thrive without being swamped in regulations and fees.

Laws like this really need to only be enforced for companies of certain sizes.

Companies like to reduce risk and unknowns. Paying $500/mo for Git that is run by somebody else is predictable. Having your self hosted Git potentially go down and block releases, block hot fixes, block that big marketing launch, etc i

Advancing through technical ranks does not qualify one for management. It qualifies them for more technical stuff. Are you taking leadership responsibilities? Leading your team, mentoring others, representing your team in broader meetings w

Apparently. The price does seem high, but the value of a company is based on it's finances. You could argue companies like Google are just middlemen too.

Their business models are actually kind of similar. Stripe is just passing money between financial institutions and taking a small cut. OpenRouter is basically the same thing. They might have shared ability on how to run an effective pass t

10% would be more typical. Perhaps the math is that OpenRouter inside Stripe makes it twice as valuable. You often see acquisitions priced on the value of the company post-acquisition.

Countries like Canada and Russia will gain from global warming. Sea shipping lanes previously frozen over half the year will be available year round. Areas previously too cold to farm will now be warm enough to farm. So they'll be gain

I honestly haven't really noticed a difference in ads after switching to the Lite version. It seems to work well enough.

I've noticed Opus 5 repeatedly ignored my Claude.md in several ways. Particularly when it comes to verbosity of comments in code.

This is how we used to grade labs when I was a TA in college. Students worked in groups of two and showed up with a working project to get graded. Afterwards, we'd ask the two students questions and it was extremely obvious if one or b

You are quite incorrect. I make a living off a website and 99.9% of my traffic is from bots. Literally hundreds of millions of requests from bots. The cost of bots is worth the cost of not harming legit users.

I suppose it would depend, yeah. I find having paying customers being blocked to be completely unacceptable. Not only is a bad customer experience, but they tend to be very vocal about it. Posting online, leaving bad reviews, etc.

There are false positives. Every time I've used a tool like this, I get reports from my users about it blocking their access. It's especially bad for users who use privacy oriented browsers like Brave or use VPNs. For a personal s

Yeah this is one of those things that hurts some real users and AI scrapers have figured out how to bypass. Not worth it IMO.

I was wondering when something like this would happen. It's been relatively simple to do for a while now.

It's not abnormal for people to disrespect robots.txt Meta not only ignored my robots.txt but they hit me with 1k requests per second sometimes. BingBot is doing something weird. Based on the logs I see, it feels like their crawler is

I've got my old Intel MacBook in my workshop. It works great for Fusion 360 which is fairly intense. I don't code on it anymore though. Having run massive code bases on average laptops before, I think you'd be fine. It might

No idea. When I was looking it up, I did see that advanced searching has to be enabled in Algolia for it to work.

I was happily doing all my coding on the $20 plan. I had to upgrade to the $100 plan once I started using Claude Design. I was spending $20-50/day on extra credits while on the $20 plan. The $100 plan more than covers it.

HackerNews search respects double quotes around your terms as an exact match, as do many other search engines. For example search for "Amerca" with and without quotes. Without quotes you get content for "America" but wit
