It's great to see a company that acknowledges it still needs improvement instead of making false claims.

Re:Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1 on Tuesday September 01, 2026 @02:48PM (#49526265)
may i ask where did you get this?

i try to look through the docs, but i didn't find where they said its only for API

is it in the system card?

really hope not, that change the only positive part in this release

If the cloud symbol is orange, it's enabled. I believe they'll even warn you if you disable it, a lot of people enable it unintentionally.

I also immediately check to see if it's an actual Cloudflare product because cloudflare[.]pay seems too suspicious to me.

Luckily, Google didn't fail me this time. Found a blog about this product with a link to the same domain.

Really hope to see a Windows result. What if Windows has a latency of 10 ms+. xD
I'm excited to see what happens when there's enough data, will it show the same kind of progress just like GPT does.
What is the benefit compared to a compatibility layer? Is it easier for future maintenance?

It's definitely a huge improvement towards "FOSS Windows."

Re:Claude Code weekly limits increasing 50% till July 13 on Wednesday May 13, 2026 @04:10PM (#48126820)
They're trying to win back the people they pushed away by only increasing the weekly limit by 50%. I'm like, "What?"

Won't go back, especially since their new Opus 4.7 is such a disaster.

However, they could use it as a last resort or as a final "gift" before getting arrested or switching identities.

They might be considered "trustworthy" right now to get companies to pay them money, but no one will know what will happen in a few years when this strategy won't work anymore.

Anyway, I hope this doesn't come at all, or as late as possible.

Re:Ask HN: We just had an actual UUID v4 collision... on Friday May 08, 2026 @03:36PM (#48067700)
> leak state (e.g. UUIDv7)

But according to PostgreSQL, UUIDv7 provides better performance in the database, so is this essentially a trade off between security and speed?

Is now a good time to get a upgrade for cpu and motherboard?
Re:Opus 4.7 knows the real Kelsey on Thursday April 30, 2026 @10:02PM (#47970584)
Interesting. I'm currently conducting an experiment where I'm writing the blog without using any grammar checking tools. I'm wondering how long it will take for me to become "famous" in the AI model.

Is now the best and easiest time to leave something "forever"? Even after many generations of models, a model may still trigger a set of "memories" that know you and what you wrote.

Exciting and concerning.

Re:CopyFail was not disclosed to Gentoo developer on Thursday April 30, 2026 @03:34PM (#47967208)
Same. They do become famous, but not in a wholly positive way.
Re:Copy Fail – CVE-2026-31431 on Wednesday April 29, 2026 @06:06PM (#47955366)
I'm impressed that such a serious problem popped up out of nowhere.

In my opinion, this mostly affects countries that are still using outdated systems, especially critical systems.

This gives bad actors a direct route to the root. Having an easily accessible root is not funny.

Re:Alberta startup sells no-tech tractors for half price on Wednesday April 22, 2026 @06:32PM (#47870171)
That's fair. We do have some fairly large monitor, but yeah, we still need a TV for 75 inches or larger.

Are you looking for a monitor? xD
Re:Claude Code removed from Anthropic's Pro plan on Tuesday April 21, 2026 @08:19PM (#47856824)
Note that some companies, like Amazon, purchased and ran the Claude on their own hardware. They didn't change the model parameters during the Claude Opus 4.6 karma.

If Anthropic continues to getting worse, try Amazon Kiro and other companies that run Claude on their own hardware.

It might be expensive and have a worse experience compared to Claude's code, but at least the model itself is the "original flavor."

These days, it's hard to ask for much.

I'm not sure where this heat comes from, but what constitutes a "good" forum in your opinion? I would love to check it out.
Re:Discourse Is Not Going Closed Source on Friday April 17, 2026 @08:16AM (#47805085)
> If your code is open source, your security team can scan it, your contributors can scan it, and independent researchers can scan it too.

Literally! If everyone can access the same system as Claude's Mythos, one solution is to have more people trying to identify your issue before the hackers have the chance to do it.

Re:Google Broke Its Promise to Me. Now ICE Has My Data on Wednesday April 15, 2026 @02:46PM (#47783444)
I still don't understand. Who gave ICE such power, and who is ordering them to do all this? To me, ICE's actions are similar to those of a private army.
Re:Google Broke Its Promise to Me. Now ICE Has My Data on Wednesday April 15, 2026 @02:44PM (#47783413)
American companies give data to the U.S.

Chinese companies give data to China.

I don't trust either of them, but if I had to choose, I would use Chinese products in the U.S. and vice versa.

i mean, openai does same, even worse, they change the model, like gpt 5.4 to -mini

anthropic for now, at least just seems to change quantization of the model

Re:Happy Map on Sunday April 12, 2026 @02:50PM (#47743044)
A happy map that makes me sad.
I think they changed the quantification to save computer power for their new model. This might be why the benchmark scores look good, but the real world performance is much worse. I'm wondering if they're testing the model internally and didn't find anything wrong with the new parameter.

I canceled my subscription and switched to a codex, but it's not as good. I'm tired of Anthropic changing things all the time. I use Claude because it doesn't redirect you to a different model like OpenAI does. But now it seems like both companies are doing the same thing in different way.
