Is anyone else over all the metaphorical model names? Sol, Opus, Sonnet, Astra... Just give them versions instead of trying to be the next Apple and name every release.

Same here. Facebook has a horrible experience when you're traveling or logging in from a new computer. I still have business Instagram accounts blocked with no way to login and no support. Wouldn't want to depend on anything from Facebook, especially not something with access to my email, calendar, and browser.
Re:Make people pay to get into your inbox
on Wednesday July 15, 2026 @08:20AM (#48919701)
I built this for my company email, but instead of sending captchas it puts non-customer emails into a folder that I never read. Emails from customers and contacts get into my inbox, and get labeled based on their support subscription level.
Most tech companies I've seen gate and filter customer support on web not email, then only sales and external interfacing employees need external emails and the bigger problem is phishing not spam.
For my personal email I would never use this, because I myself would never solve a captcha to reach someone's inbox and I can't expect different from others.
Re:So You Want to Define a Well-Known URI

Does a change-password registry actually get used, even by bots? I don't see bots checking for a .well-known/change-password url on my sites. It seems a good place to put public configs, just to have a place for them, but not as a means of discovery.
Re:PgDog is funded and coming to a database near you
on Wednesday June 10, 2026 @12:06PM (#48478430)
Three real-world issues I've run into recently with PgBouncer + Postgres are:
1. pool exhaustion from idle connections inside open long-running transactions
2. SQLAlchemy's client-side pool using dead connections that PgBouncer had already killed, causing periodic request errors
3. Some tasks have to bypass PgBouncer when they use SET or prepared statements
I've already sharded large datasets at the application layer, but looks like PgDog solves the above problems for any future work?

Don't forget the original PgBouncer. Hard to setup, but with the help of AI these days it's easier to configure.
Re:The Quiet Renovation at Bitwarden

I don't care about raising prices, I'm worried about the new CEO having a PE mindset. That means Bitwarden will now focus on extracting value while the product stagnates and degrades in quality. Time to jump ship before their security and quality goes down the drain.

I'm building an AI Dashboard & AI Leaderboard where you can see who generates the most lines of code using Codex, Claude, Copilot, Cursor, etc. https://wakatime.com/ai
Show HN: See how much you spend per AI agent
Show HN: Average AI prompt length over time
Hi HN, I built WakaTime 13 years ago before AI. Things have changed a lot since then, and the time you spend typing in your IDE isn't as valuable as it used to be...That's why I built a new WakaTime dashboard specifically for AI metrics. It tracks things like:* Lines of code - AI vs. Human* Average Prompt Length over time - How much context do you give AI* Follow-up Edit Rate - How many times...

So for my own notes, removing a phone number from my Google account before travel will risk account suspension. Hope OP resolves it, but also need to make sure this never happens to me.
Damnit, now I probably have to update my vscode plugin to support Cursor 3... I mean have a coffee or go for a swim while waiting on AI to update my vscode plugin to support Cursor 3. :P

If I have an in-person community that's non-tech it's enough for me to only have an online tech community. That's how it was for me growing up, and it would be great to have that again.

I did just that, and built https://wonderful.dev
It's based around jobs for devs, but right now it's just a place to chat about tech.
