Being forced to login to use your own hardware is one issue for sure…

but separately everything about Microsoft’s login experience is pure pain.

Multiple broken redirects, broken links, buttons that loop, and more just to hit a CAPTCHA AI can solve anyway.

The only thing worse is for the poor soul developers who have had to login to their dev portal to setup SSO Microsoft for an app. It’s the worst I have ever seen in my life (even using Supabase that hand holds you through it).

Don’t have a strong opinion on any of this, but it’s actually super normal for anyone who helps run a business to push hard and try to grow it.

Things don’t always shake out as you plan

Re:Cloudflare Quick Tunnels on Friday September 18, 2026 @12:49PM (#49756985)
My wife and I have a mobile group/shared bot system where we can make mini apps and collab.

Anything from baby stuff, groceries, shopping, planning, wine tracker app, simple/fun/useful data things, etc…

We have Tailscale on our phones and can instantly and privately see without deployment or anything crazy via our secure VPN.

Think shared Claude Artifacts that don’t live @ Anthropic.

Tried to first do this with Cloudflare Tunnels (because I love Cloudflare), but between the broken dashboard side of Zero Trust and nightmare of Warp… it was basically impossible to setup. I guess that’s all super enterprise, which seems to be very anti-Cloudflare philosophically to not be able to self do things.

Will check out Quick Tunnels but I think it’s missing the bigger integration offerings Tailscale has/does still.

I don’t know. I personally wouldn’t take it if you aren’t also working out/lifting frequently (even if you drink a ton of water).

Anecdotal so safe to ignore this… but my hair did thin out but only after I was lazier on my work outs. Stopped taking and hair mostly returned to normal thank God.

We're pausing the Agent SDK credit change (Antrhropic)

Email just went out with the following body:> In May, we sent you an email announcing that starting today, the Claude Agent SDK, claude -p, and third-party apps built on the Agent SDK would stop drawing from subscription rate limits and move to a dedicated monthly credit. We're writing to let you know that we’re not making this change today. We’re working to update the plan to better support...

> I'm guessing Anthropic shut of access for everyone because currently they have no reliable way to know whether a user is or is not a US citizen.

They literally say this is why.

This is obviously a super corny / silly / dramatic thing to say.
Really sick of this stupid narrative.

The most ethical goal of an AI lab or government should be to bring the maximum amount of intelligence for as cheap as possible to the people equally.

Re:VoidZero Is Joining Cloudflare on Thursday June 04, 2026 @04:17PM (#48404036)
The dream has always been a first-class framework for Cloudflare Workers.

- In the earliest days (literally go read their blog posts and GitHub repos), they only ever really did dinky little demo's.

- After and for the longest time, they tried to claim they went "Full Stack" with SSR-able abilities, but they were so terrible back then and not even well integrated into their Worker platform tools.

- This was oddly gray mixed (sometimes?) with Pages messaging which definitely was not full-stack in the sense developers wanted.

- Then getting any of this to work in a dev environment was super difficult as "wrangler dev" was very limited (wrangler is so good now FYI).

- Vercel just kind of ate Cloudflare's lunch here. No shame in it. They just couldn't get it right for developers period.

- Then very quietly "Adapters" came around and basically changed the game. Your code base finally felt portable to Workers with essentially full CF platform support.

- Now we live in AI-age and they bought Astro (?), tried to launch WP clone (?), and vibe-coded Next (?)

Big and long time coming for all of this. It is a super breath of fresh air to see even more improvements will likely come to Workers. Icing on cake is Evan is a legend who has a proven track record of delivering tools people love.

Access to intelligence is going to become a major class issue overtime if cost keeps increasing and labs try to police usage and access
Re:Claude Opus 4.8 on Thursday May 28, 2026 @04:48PM (#48315243)
It did try and lead me to touch a live hot wire once. Thanking the safety team for the honest and sincere apology it gave after was sarcasm.
Re:Claude Opus 4.8 on Thursday May 28, 2026 @02:49PM (#48313637)
Price discrimination is I think fine and reasonable so long if you can drum up the cash you can use it how you want within their ToS.

Although mental safety gymnastics aside, getting the most amount of intelligence for the cheapest amount of cost to normal people seems like the most ethical thing a big lab could do.

Going around and granting different tiers of intelligence to different insiders, friends, or companies is majorly problematic long-term.

Heck right now, the tokens you buy today for “Opus 4.8”, no one even knows or believes will be the same “Opus 4.8” just 3 days from now.

Re:Claude Opus 4.8 on Thursday May 28, 2026 @02:06PM (#48312987)
When doing some electrical, Opus 4.7 essentially told me to wiggle a wire to see if it was hot or not with my bare hand.

I called it out.

It then gave me one of the most super heartfelt honest and sincere apologies I have ever received.

Glad the safety team was there for me and able to make such an honest model or I would have been very upset about it.

Re:Claude Opus 4.8 on Thursday May 28, 2026 @01:42PM (#48312604)
Seems like they might be hinting that if you are not a billionaire or multi-billion dollar company you will just get a limited and nerfed Claude Code slash command /mythos-security-audit or something.

Hope this isn’t the case and that normal average Joe’s of the world don’t get policed out of access.

This is actually a form of AI psychosis.

It's really hard not to especially if you enjoy building.

Re:Workspace Agents in ChatGPT on Wednesday April 22, 2026 @03:45PM (#47868342)
Beautiful design and UX for the bot layouts. Kudos this is really clean
A lot of people have spent a considerable amount of time building out "claude -p" workflows trusting Anthropic because of those same Tweet assurances outside of OpenClaw.

It seems with the new "--bare" flag they are introducing, a huge rug pull is coming as they plan to deprecate -p for unlimited users.

The docs now read:

> "Bare mode skips OAuth and keychain reads. Anthropic authentication must come from ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or an apiKeyHelper in the JSON passed to --settings. Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry use their usual provider credentials. --bare is the recommended mode for scripted and SDK calls, and will become the default for -p in a future release."

Hope I am reading this wrong or this is clarified.

Oh wow, I love this idea even if it's relatively insignificant in savings.

I am finding my writing prompt style is naturally getting lazier, shorter, and more caveman just like this too. If I was honest, it has made writing emails harder.

While messing around, I did a concept of this with HTML to preserve tokens, worked surprisingly well but was only an experiment. Something like:

> <h1 class="bg-red-500 text-green-300"><span>Hello</span></h1>

AI compressed to:

> h1 c bgrd5 tg3 sp hello sp h1

Or something like that.

Quick everyone to your side projects. We have ~3 days of un-nerfed agentic coding again.
Re:Claude Managed Agents on Wednesday April 08, 2026 @02:55PM (#47694630)
FWIW everyone is also building a version of this themselves. Only so many directions to go
Thanks so much! It's a fancy landing page thanks to Claude.

Tmux is seriously an amazing tool.

Not at all. I am a big a Claude Code fan and glad they are releasing more and more features for users
Eh, the value is the unlimited Max plan which they have rightfully banned from third-party use.

People simply want Opus without fear of billing nightmare.

That’s like 99% of it.

If this true. My old personal agent Claude Code setup I open sourced last month will finally be obsolete (1 month lol):

- Telegram Integration => CC Dispatch

- Crons => CC Tasks

- Animated ASCII Dog => CC Buddy

Re:Push events into a running session with channels on Friday March 20, 2026 @01:13AM (#47450760)
This was my setup exactly, I open sourced a framework of it a while ago:

- https://clappie.ai

Plus it gives a little ASCII dog to Claude Code terminal.

The ability to spawn independent CLI is awesome. No brainer they would add eventually between the great threaded functionality it brings and is essentially a more controlled version of OpenClaw IMO

An even worst day is probably coming:

Imagine if a model ever does get scary good, would the big labs even release it for general use? You couldn't even buy it if you wanted to. Exceptions would be enterprise deals / e.g.: $AMZN niche super contracts.

Re: on Friday February 27, 2026 @04:41PM (#47186044)
AI ran a git clean on me and wiped out a bunch of untracked changes.

I just asked Claude Code to help recover it. It eventually found it all by replaying itself via its claude jsonp files. I never had to install or leave anything.

Show HN: Clappie – Claude Code remote but more fun and useful

https://clappie.ai/

This was my personal agent setup that I am now open-sourcing. The landing page got a little crazy. I am a big fan of Claude Code.There are many alternatives such as OpenClaw, now an official Claude Code Remote Control, and a bunch of open source mini claw projects.This is different because it:- Create/Manage/Access Claude Code "Terminals" sessions remotely- Is basically just contained to a...

Never used 4o in an unhealthy way, but the audio was so much fun (especially for cooking help). Almost essentially quit using AI audio since. Nothing compares.
Re:We auto-convert HTML to Markdown for AI agents on Thursday February 12, 2026 @12:22PM (#46991739)
This is cool and glad Cloudflare is offering options for AI to everyone (tools to block, tools to better enable).

This is probably fast, but FWIW I would bet doing a simple str replace on HTML elements with '' would yield mostly the same result. Any sort of structured content (like markdown) isn't even needed really for LLM. Make it messy and super fast and don't accidentally lose anything, it's an LLM.

If compression was really the goal, you could take it further and probably remove all words like "the" and "and", punctuation, maybe even spaces
