Meta also has 50k engineers. Not to mention that tons of meta infrastructure - including ads! - use AI. Would you want that sort of business be this dependent on someone else?

You actually need a paid account, even for local installs, if you use certain tech, like NFC

Those glasses don't record by themselves. Somebody pressed the button and deliberately recorded it.
Those plans exist in Europe. Not sure if they're available elsewhere or how popular they are there

That must have been a long time ago. Nowadays there are a lot of safeguards and that's one of the things that gets you fired right away.

That's literally graphql though? That's the whole idea. This is so weis, clearly the author is aware of graphql but then just decided to reimplement half the backend? Why?

Re:Claude Code CLI Broken on Wednesday January 07, 2026 @03:36PM (#46532252)
workaround from the issue discussion:

```

  Problem: Claude Code 2.1.0 crashes with Invalid Version: 2.1.0 (2026-01-07) because the CHANGELOG.md format changed to include dates in version headers (e.g., ## 2.1.0 (2026-01-07)). The code parses these headers as object keys and tries to sort them using semver's .gt() function, which can't parse version strings with date suffixes.

  Affected functions: W37, gw0, and an unnamed function around line 3091 that fetches recent release notes.

  Fix: Wrap version strings with semver.coerce() before comparison. Run these 4 sed commands on cli.js:

  CLI_JS="$HOME/.nvm/versions/node/$(node -v)/lib/node_modules/@anthropic-ai/claude-code/cli.js"

  # Backup first
  cp "$CLI_JS" "$CLI_JS.backup"

  # Patch 1: Fix ve2.gt sort (recent release notes)
  sed -i 's/Object\.keys(B)\.sort((Y,J)=>ve2\.gt(Y,J,{loose:!0})?-1:1)/Object.keys(B).sort((Y,J)=>ve2.gt(ve2.coerce(Y),ve2.coerce(J),{loose:!0})?-1:1)/g' "$CLI_JS"

  # Patch 2: Fix gw0 sort
  sed -i 's/sort((G,Z)=>Wt\.gt(G,Z,{loose:!0})?1:-1)/sort((G,Z)=>Wt.gt(Wt.coerce(G),Wt.coerce(Z),{loose:!0})?1:-1)/g' "$CLI_JS"

  # Patch 3: Fix W37 filter
  sed -i 's/filter((\[J\])=>!Y||Wt\.gt(J,Y,{loose:!0}))/filter(([J])=>!Y||Wt.gt(Wt.coerce(J),Y,{loose:!0}))/g' "$CLI_JS"

  # Patch 4: Fix W37 sort
  sed -i 's/sort((\[J\],\[X\])=>Wt\.gt(J,X,{loose:!0})?-1:1)/sort(([J],[X])=>Wt.gt(Wt.coerce(J),Wt.coerce(X),{loose:!0})?-1:1)/g' "$CLI_JS"

  Note: If installed via different method, adjust CLI_JS path accordingly (e.g., /usr/lib/node_modules/@anthropic-ai/claude-code/cli.js).

Re:Ask HN: Why are QR codes not clickable links on browsers? on Sunday November 02, 2025 @05:08PM (#45793852)
It's a good idea. Obviously you can't preemptively OCR all images but having "context menu -> follow link" which works on QR codes and images with links in them seems totally doable do me
