Re:I Am the Reason OpenAI Is Killing Unlimited Chats on Sunday November 01, 2026 @06:04PM (#50330826)
I understand preferring Claude models in the abstract, but as a product? The random restrictions have significantly reduced their usability.

We had 2 major threads in the past 48 hours complaining about this:

* https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50319358 (AI/ML work with large models)

* https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50320255 (reverse engineering)

The threads are full of upset comments!

The only non-OAI options are open models and I guess Gemini 4 now.

The point of storyboarding is to determine what you want to make. I guess you can consider it part of the "prompt."

Not something that can be automated away assuming you still have preferences at all.

> many have memory corruption bugs and incorrect anti-tampering code requiring our per-app exploit protection compatibility mode toggle

Ironic for apps that are often so paranoid about "security" and "hardware attestation"

anti-AI scraping is often anti-privacy in practice, as any effective implementation requires invasive browser inspection to detect scrapers.

More like Monero, but yes.
They're down, slow, and congested, but spend 1/10000th that companies shackled by big cloud do.

Are you saying that legitimate businesses cannot find something better for 1/100th the price instead?

Re:Claude reveals ECDSA curve origins on Saturday October 17, 2026 @04:26PM (#50134801)
Three months ago is about when I gave up on trying to use their newer models for almost any task without getting blocked.

But EC never seemed to cause trouble somehow.

Re:OpenAI discloses four more rogue incidents on Saturday October 17, 2026 @02:03PM (#50133424)
Four more organizations needed to secure their systems better, I suppose.

Facetious maybe, but in six months, foreign crooks will be producing these incidents on purpose.

I know Anthropic models have a lot of insane, paranoid filters, but I don't remember them blocking cryptography work last I checked (some 3 months ago now).

Until other networks choose to exorcise them and their control with it. If you play unfairly often enough, you get depeered.

Re:Gaming on Linux Without Cheating on Wednesday October 14, 2026 @06:46PM (#50096575)
LPEs are usually used to escalate to root, but in many of them, the kernel itself is compromised. There's just little reason to do stuff in kernel space when you can get root and load kernel modules anyway.

All of this will defeated by one of the now regular Linux LPEs anyway.

Because card readers brick themselves if opened or tampered with. If Ledger designed their hardware the same, this attack would not be possible.
